Chapter 616: Arson and Looting 11

A sharp glint flashed in Nangong Liuyun's eyes as he ruthlessly went straight to the point: "Tch, I wonder who bestowed the marriage in the first place, and then who inexplicably annulled it later. Treating an imperial decree like child's play, acting as emperor like this, how truly shameless."

Hiss—everyone present gasped.

Su Luo couldn't help but applaud Nangong Liuyun in her heart.

Such a handsome Nangong Liuyun, truly amazing!

If it weren't for being in the public eye, Su Luo would have loved to give him a fragrant kiss.

Contrary to the gloating Su Luo, Emperor Jing's blood pressure was currently soaring, spiking erratically upwards.

"You—you—" Emperor Jing pointed at Nangong Liuyun with one hand and clutched his forehead with the other, clearly overly stimulated and unable to even speak.

This rebellious son, how dare he speak to him like that!

"Nangong Liuyun, look at you, Father Emperor is so angry because of you, what more do you want!" The Crown Prince jumped out and started pointing fingers haphazardly.

The Empress also glared at Su Luo with displeasure, then turned and embraced Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Prince Jin was also angered into confusion, these are not his true feelings."

Saying this, the Empress didn't forget to call out to Nangong Liuyun: "Prince Jin, quickly come and apologize to your Father Emperor, quickly!"

This time, Nangong Liuyun's performance also gave the Empress a profound insight… It turned out that even Emperor Jing might not be able to suppress Nangong Liuyun anymore. But this was also good; this way, Emperor Jing would be wary of Nangong Liuyun. The Empress rejoiced inwardly.

Emperor Jing's hand, which was covering his forehead, secretly opened a small gap, stealing a glance at Nangong Liuyun.

Unexpectedly, he met Nangong Liuyun's mocking and sarcastic eyes directly.

Emperor Jing's body stiffened, feeling even more embarrassed…

Nangong Liuyun couldn't be bothered with him. He shook the IOU in his hand and gave a cold laugh: "Nangong Liujue, the losses incurred today will be offset by five hundred green crystal stones."

"This…" The Crown Prince hesitated a little.

In fact, if those properties were calculated at half price, they wouldn't be worth five hundred green crystal stones.

So by calculating it this way, Nangong Liuyun was actually getting a bit of a bargain.

"Do you have an opinion?" Nangong Liuyun glanced at him coldly.

The Crown Prince secretly glanced at Emperor Jing. At this moment, Emperor Jing was covering his forehead and squatting to the side, and Nangong Liuyun completely ignored him.

It was clear that his influence could now be ignored.

The Crown Prince felt incredibly depressed. Although he had expected from the beginning that Father Emperor would likely lose against his second brother, he hadn't anticipated that before it even started, he would be directly defeated by his second brother's sharp tongue.

What the Crown Prince actually wanted most was to default on the debt, but since the debt was owed to Nangong Liuyun, this idea would never be possible in this lifetime.

After hesitating again, the Crown Prince still nodded silently.

"Then the remaining two thousand five hundred crystal stones will come from your treasure pavilion," Nangong Liuyun snorted coldly.

Two thousand five hundred… Wouldn't that mean emptying his treasure pavilion and still owing money?

The Crown Prince looked at the Empress.

The Empress's expression was displeased. She swept a glance at Su Luo and said coldly: "Follow this palace, this palace has something to say to you, it concerns your future."

After saying this, the Empress walked towards the side hall.

Nangong Liuyun grabbed Su Luo's hand.

"Don't worry, in broad daylight, what could happen to me? Do you not trust me that much?"

Su Luo didn't want to go, but with the Empress acting like this and everyone watching, if she didn't go, it would be a bit unreasonable.

Su Luo was actually a little curious.

It concerns her future? What exactly did the Empress want to say?
