Chapter 1019: Conclusive Evidence

“Will the crown prince consort please make a decision on behalf of the Great Sea Monastery! Thoroughly investigate this matter so as to restore peace and tranquility to the Great Sea Monastery.” Which of the madams and young misses weren’t shrewd characters? Together with Consort Cheng, they curtsied toward the crown prince consort and pleaded thus simultaneously.
Ao’ye coughed lightly, and then Lightning, who had long been waiting in impatience on the other side, bolted out from the pagoda’s ruins with a whish. Soon afterwards he shouted in a voice loud enough that everyone could hear, “Crown Prince Consort, this subordinate found out that there is also a man inside this pagoda!”
Everyone: …
With this, whether it be those who heard him or those who pretended not to have heard him, their expressions all turned extremely weird.
This prayer activity really tormented those royal concubines and madams who were getting on in years so much that they felt like they were about to fall apart.
After returning back, they all further fortified their convictions that they absolutely must not let the crown prince consort lead them in doing activities again!
Inside the royal study of the King’s Palace.
The old king clutched the memorial that his son had presented, to the point that he didn’t realize that it had gotten all wrinkled, and he indignantly looked at the crown prince with suppressed anger. “Impossible!”
“These are the facts, and there is no way for her to dispute them.” The crown prince said lightly, “Since the day the Luo Family Troupe entered the palace, Courtesan Zheng had been in contact with that man the entire time. Are three eyewitnesses not enough? This son also has the letters they wrote to each other as physical evidence.”
“Courtesan Zheng’s purpose in heading to Fu Mountain’s Great Sea Monastery this time is simply for a secret rendezvous. She had planned for this way in advance!”
The old king looked to have suffered from a psychological blow, and he sat limply on the chair, dejectedly hanging his head without knowing what to say.
“Royal Father, do you still not understand?” Mo Lian looked at his old father with a chilly gaze as he coldly declared, “Shuntian Prefecture has conspired for a long time, attempting to control us by hook or by crook! Now, they have already brazenly planted someone beside you. They even ignored your sovereignty and are recklessly fooling around under your nose. They are holding you in undisguised contempt! And are also holding our entire Mo Clan in contempt!”
“Even this requires restraint?” Mo Lian abruptly flicked the hem of his robe and knelt down on one knee before his old father. He spoke in a resoundingly powerful, yet unusually detached voice, “This son petitions to summon all the mystic cultivators in the entire kingdom and lead one million troops to annihilate Shuntian Prefecture’s remnant forces in one fell swoop.”
“Royal Father! My Great Mo does not fear anyone. So what if it is the Shuntian Prefecture of the Middle Six Prefectures? Just because they are the Middle Six Prefectures, they are allowed to throw their weight around with insufferable arrogance? This son will prove it to you! In this world, no one can infringe on our royal power! No one can escape unscathed after attempting to instigate the flames of war!”
“Starting from our forefathers’ generation, our Mo Clan’s kingdom was obtained through generations of conquest! We do not need to fear anyone. Nor do we need to submit to any prefecture! This son will use his ability to let them know that my Great Mo is not to be bullied! Whatever Middle Six Prefectures, this son will make them scram back to wherever they came from.”
“Royal Father, will Royal Father please issue an edict to hang that kingdom-destroying beauty at the city gate tower and whip her for three days and nights as a warning to others!”
The king gazed at his son dazedly before giving a bitter smile.
This was his son! So daring and full of mettle that no one could rival him!
If and once he decided to deal with you, he was sure to have prepared all the evidence so that you could not argue your way out of it.
He had long told Zheng Ru not to provoke this ruthless young couple, yet, sigh…
“Draft up the edict.” The king sighed.
After watching Gong Chang’an wipe away his forehead of cold sweat as he rushed out to proclaim the edict, the crown prince then slowly strode out of the royal study.
