2660 The Emperor’s Desire to Protect His Child
“You will not discipline the crown prince even when he is treating this priest this way?”
The Divine Province Emperor looked at him coldly.
He sat on his throne from beginning to end, indifferently watching this insolent silver priest.
“How dare a re minor priest of the Lunisolar Shrine treat the crown prince so rudely.” The emperor’s voice was as frosty as if it had co from a river that had frozen over.
He pressed his hand against his forehead and subconsciously knocked his knuckle against his throbbing temples. He waved his hand in annoyance. “Go, bring the over the barrel of extre happiness[1]!”
All the officials’ faces instantly turned pale. Several younger and more less daring officials were already teetering in the back row.
Mo Lian furrowed his brows and looked up at the Divine Province Emperor sitting at the top.
He did not know what kind of toy this barrel of extre happiness his father requested was, but from the officials’ panicked expression, it was obviously not sothing good.
Soon, Eunuch Hu directed four pale-faced junior eunuchs to carry over a pitch-black human-sized wooden barrel.
*Boom.* When the wooden barrel landed on the ground, the low thud also struck everyone’s hearts. It caused them to jolt involuntarily. They inexplicably felt a hint of horror filling the air.
The entire audience hall was silent. No sound could be heard at all.
The silver priest seed to also feel that soting was wrong. His body involuntarily shuddered while being restrained by the Violetwood Guard. He hastily cried out to beg for rcy, “Your Honorable Majesty! I do not an to hold the Divine Province in contempt! Please exercise your penetrating judgent. I, I also did not an to act insolently toward His Highness the Crown Prince!”
“Don’t waste your breath on him!” The emperor felt a terrible headache and waved his hand angrily. “n, invite the silver priest to enjoy the world of extre happiness.”
The Kang Prince who was standing in the front row jerked his eyelid. His couldn’t resist peeking upwards out the corner of his eye.
On the left side, the Vassal King of Jianping had already started shaking his body uncontrollably. He shuffled backwards a little bit.
Mo Lian was in the dark as he watched people swarm forward and hoist up that silver priest.
The silver priest cried out nonstop with a pale face, “Principal guardian, Principal guardian save , save ! Save !”
That Lunisolar Shrine elder in brocade robes also imdiately reacted. He hastily stepped forward and called out, “Your Majesty, please quell your anger! Your Majesty, you cannot do this!”
“Your Majesty!”
The emperor’s expression was cold. He completely ignored what this brocade-robed elder was saying.
He rely stared at this pitiful wretch that was the silver priest at the feet of the stairs. He spoke coldly, “No one can look down on Our son in front of Us.”
That silver priest from the Lunisolar Shrine was drenched in sweat like a cascading waterfall. e kept screaming to beg for rcy, “Your Majesty, spare my life Your Majesty! Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I beseech for your forgiveness! Guardian, principal guardian save !”
Just as the brocade-robed elder moved a small step, a dozen Violetwood Guards flipped their swords around to point as his chest.
For a mont, the atmosphere in the audience hall exhibited a state of mutual hostility.
Mo Lian watched all this happening with indifference like an outsider.
After soone opened that barrel of extre happiness, the silver priest promptly got tossed inside like trash.
Soon, the entire Qianyuan Audience Hall was filled with this priest’s exaggerated and painful screams.
[1] Extre happiness also ans paradise, or the place people go after dying.
