Chapter 620: Nangong Goes Berserk 4
"Nangong Liuyun, how dare you!!!" The Crown Prince roared in anger, but he was already unable to stop the trajectory of the teacup.
Following closely behind Nangong Liuyun were Emperor Jing and the Crown Prince.
Emperor Jing's expression was currently very complicated.
He had never expected that this rebellious son would actually be so audacious to such an extent!
That was the Empress, the mother of the nation, the Empress who served as a model for all under heaven!
In public, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he actually directly… This was the capital crime of matricide!
Setting aside the unparalleled shock in Emperor Jing's heart, let's just talk about that teacup being batted around like a ball.
The teacup shot toward the Empress in a straight line, its speed so fast that it was impossible to stop or dodge.
The Empress was greatly alarmed!
She glanced at Su Luo, and a flash of inspiration suddenly struck her heart. With a thud, she sat down heavily on the ground.
Although the two of them performed the same action, the difference between them was quite large.
Su Luo was already a Fourth-rank Peak Martial Artist, and her body's flexibility had reached an astonishing level; how difficult could a mere fake fall be?
But the Empress was different!
Although the Empress had good talent before, she had spent these years living in luxury and being busy with palace intrigue; where would she find the time to Cultivate?
Furthermore, the teacup thrown at her came from the hand of His Highness Prince Jin in a fit of rage!
One could only hear the Empress falling to the ground with an extremely high-difficulty movement, barely managing to avoid that teacup overflowing with Killing Intent.
However, the strong wind from the teacup swept past her head.
"Ouch—" Having sat down heavily on the ground, the Empress cried out loudly in pain.
The teacup grazed along the Empress's bun. Instantly, her exquisite hairstyle was disheveled, and her Phoenix hairpins and gold ornaments clattered to the ground. With her hair disheveled, the Empress looked incredibly pathetic.
The Crown Prince hurriedly rushed over, kneeling on the ground to support the Empress, and said urgently, "Imperial Mother, how are you? Huh? Are you alright?"
Still in shock, the Empress opened her dazed eyes and clutched her chest with lingering fear… It was too terrifying, simply too terrifying… Seeing that the Empress was unharmed, the Crown Prince finally turned back, pointing at Nangong Liuyun with a distorted face and roaring in anger, "You dare to attempt to murder Imperial Mother! Nangong Liuyun, don't think you're so great just because your martial arts are strong! Attempting to murder Imperial Mother will bring divine retribution upon you!"
"Imperial Father, Nangong Liuyun intended to murder Imperial Mother; I hope Imperial Father will uphold justice!"
The Crown Prince's outburst of rebukes woke Emperor Jing from his shock.
At this moment, the gaze with which Emperor Jing looked at Nangong Liuyun was very complex.
It was not until he attacked the Empress without hesitation just now that he suddenly realized this second son was no longer the little child who would seek his protection; the current Nangong Liuyun was no longer someone he could control.
"Imperial Father! Imperial Father!" The Crown Prince called out loudly to Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing waved him off, but his eyes stared unblinkingly at Nangong Liuyun. "I will give you a chance to explain."
"Explain?" Nangong Liuyun laughed, his smile wild and untamed, carrying a hint of cynicism. "What does Imperial Father want this son to explain?"
"You just tried to murder the Empress, and you still dare to deny it?" Emperor Jing shouted at him huffily.
He was protecting him, giving him a chance to explain, yet he actually questioned him back?
Nangong Liuyun was truly too bold, too reckless! That was the Empress! Did he not even know the most basic filial piety? The more Emperor Jing thought about it, the angrier he became!
"Then what crime is it for the Empress to wantonly attempt to murder this King's little Princess Consort?" A smile curled at the corners of Nangong Liuyun's mouth, but his eyes were icy and devoid of warmth.
They were gloomy and eerie, so cold that people didn't dare to look directly at them.
