Chapter 611 – Lighting up fires and looting (5)
The Crown Prince’s heart was immediately ignited, and he patted his chest until it resounded with booming sounds: “Right! I am the Crown Prince, I am the true and only future master of this empire, Nangong Liuyun counts as nothing but a fart!”
Just when the mother and son were conversing, suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps from outside could be heard.
A young court eunuch in the dark blue-colored court eunuch clothes ran in, crying out in alarm: “You Highness Crown Prince, something incredibly bad has occurred!”
The Crown Prince’s heart skipped a beat, he had a very bad promotion.
He, who was originally full of confidence, now, a touch of fear flashed through his eyes.
The Empress remained calm and unperturbed sitting in the crown seat, with a stiff, ice-cold face, she said: “If you have something to say, say it slowly, what could be so urgent?”
That court eunuch gasped until his breath evened out, and then hastily said: “Reporting back to the Empress, an incredibly bad event has occurred, the several residences under His Highness Crown Prince’s name, have all been lit on fire and burned until they were all gone!
“What?” The Crown Prince immediately stood up, his face filled with a shocked expression.
Those several residences of his, were not just some ordinary residences. Each and every one one of those residences that were constructed had a huge price tag. The most important matter was that, from the outside, they looked like residences, but inside, they were warehouses where he stored a lot of treasures ah…… The more the Crown Prince thought, the more anxious he became, wishing he could immediately grow wings to fly over there!
“Yes, that’s right, it’s not limited to this today. It is being reported that the imperial capital is in quite a disorder. In order to find your Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness Prince Jin created huge sounds of activity in the city.”
“This…… These are all Nangong Liuyun’s doings?” The Crown Prince was immediately stunned, losing his head out of fear as he looked towards the Empress.
Just a minute ago, he was encouraged by the Empress’s words, with his confidence swelling. But now, hearing this news, immediately, like a punctured ball, he deflated.
The Empress saw the Crown Prince’s behavior, and a thread of displeasure flashed through her eyes. She frowned, finally saying only an indifferent, short sentence: “Go out to take a look.”
Standing on the imperial palace’s highest bright moon stairs, the entire imperial capital was plainly visible.
Even though it was a huge distance away, you could still vaguely see it clearly.
Seeing the flames soaring into the sky where all the residences were located, the Crown Prince’s face immediately turned ashen. His hands at his side clenched tightly into fists, clearly, he was already extremely furious.
That’s right, they were all his houses!
Nangong Liuyun, I will kill you!!! The Crown Prince furiously clenched his fists, both of his eyes scarlet red. He was itching to rush up to Nangong Liuyun and smash him down with one fist strike.
“Mother Empress, didn’t you say that second brother would not……” The Crown Prince’s heart cried tears of blood ah.
Those were all houses he was fond of, that he built with utmost care and the costs were innumerable. But at this moment, they were all turned to ashes by a huge fire.
The Empress’s complexion now was also exceptionally ugly.
She completely hadn’t anticipated, that this time, Nangong Liuyun would actually be this fierce, this malicious!
Originally, she had thought she had already overestimated Nangong Liuyun. She never expected that he was even fiercer than she had imagined, even more malicious, with even more determined methods of attack!
“Mother Empress, what’s to be done ah? You think of a way ah!” The Crown Prince was furious and also anxious, nearly falling apart.
The Empress glanced at him harshly: “Why so worried, the heavens haven’t collapsed yet!”
“The heavens may not have collapsed, but my Crown Prince mansion quickly collapsed ah……” that was a large part of his assets ah.
“Humph! Nangong Liuyun actually dares to so openly burn your residences, so condescendingly. Does he still have His Majesty the Emperor in his eyes?” The Empress raised the corner of her mouth with a hazed over expression, “Rest assured, this time, he brought about his own demise.”
The Crown Prince was somewhat disbelieving, but seeing the Empress so confident, he couldn’t help but to start half-believing……Could it truly be possible?
The captain of the looting team and the rest also did not leave empty-handed. Everyone had a list in their hands, that list had noted the extent of their responsibility and target.
i’m loving this novel. thank you
Thanks for the chapter~! The Empress and Crown Prince will regret their decision… 😉
>Could it truly be possible?
Hmmm, given the track record so far…
Let’s go with a NO.
Who do you think the Emperor would want as his heir. The competent, powerful son… Or the retarded fop?
I think NL had no interest in the throne…. with his ability if he wanted to be the crown prince, he would have been named the Crown Prince
Ah true unless the empress pressed the King to give the position to her son. Probably can’t go against tradition…or maybe the king gave a promise too.
And thank you for the chapter!
Well..
The Clown Prince is the son of the official wife, as well as the eldest son..
So, since NL had interest in the throne, the Emperor would then not need to not go by the traditions, and would name his idiotic first son as his successor, as incompetent as he is..
Alas that’s true.
Thank you so much for the chapter 😆😆 I’m just wondering if this we’d get to see a little reunion between NL, the empress and the emperor together with Su Luo. Who’ll by then meet the girl his highness prince Jin, fancies😂😂😂
This reunion will happen in a few chapters 😉
O.m.g.! Really! Can’t wait! Kyaaaaaaa! >_<
Muito obrigada. 😍
god can only think of what will happen to that mother she see’s Su Lu than insults her i can only imagine what would happen
Starting to suspect that the empress is actually retarded, she is pulling Cersei after Cersei thinking shes a genius but continuously failing and embarrassing herself
If she was then she’d be the one starting the fires 😀
Woman your hair is gonna get burnt.
The Empress has clearly grown arrogant and complacent in her success; making all kinds of assumptions and not even bothering to check to make sure she is right before acting.
Well the Empress had a right to feel complacent… She is known as the power behind the throne and she got here by eliminating all competition. But yeah she had become a little too delusional…she need to be challenged.
You’d think she’d be pretty smart if she can stick around in the palace with endless conspiracies, but it looks like the only reason she survived for so long was purely because of sheer luck…
Too bad she’s challenging Su Luo to a game of luck…
That’s so true. Su Lue is going to destroy her
Thanks for the chapter!! Can’t wait for the empress to be proved wrong lol
Thank you very much
thanks!
pfft! fat hope, crown prince! you’re going to suffer so bad!
