Chapter 420: 420 brutal battles

Who would have thought it was not the second prince’s consort who had requested her presence, but the second prince himself.

Initially, when the prince said the girl before him was his illegitimate daughter, he didn’t believe it. But after seeing her true face, it was hard for him to convince himself not to believe.

Just yesterday, she had thought that the person the prince met outside must be someone dear to him, but this outcome was even harder for her to accept.

Her husband had raised an illegitimate daughter this old outside!

She remembered that night, in the middle of the night, he mentioned he should have a daughter. At that time, she thought her past deeds had been discovered, but now, she saw the harsh reality.

As if fearing that wasn’t enough of a blow to the Princess Consort Jing, the second prince thoughtfully added, “Men tend to indulge in pleasures outside, it’s inevitable. When you go back, you must speak kindly to the Fourth Brother, don’t damage the harmony between husband and wife. This child is pitiful too, having been raised outside all these years without a claim to the Lian Family. Now that you are taking her back, I believe the Fourth Brother will see your good intentions.”

The Princess Consort Jing’s face turned even paler.

“Thank you for your kindness, second brother,” the Princess Consort Jing said coldly, her sleeve flicking as she departed.

The second prince’s smile was ambiguous as he glanced at Ye Jiu, “You child, why don’t you hurry up and follow your mistress home? From now on, you no longer need to wander outside under the reputation of being an illegitimate daughter!”

He could already foresee the chaos that would ensue once the Fourth Brother and his wife returned and started quarreling. Then, he would enter the palace to accuse the Fourth Brother, and that’s when the real drama would begin.

As for now, it was merely the beginning of the spectacle.

No sooner had Princess Consort Jing and Ye Jiu left, than the second prince’s mansion was surrounded by a group of people.

With a loud bang, the main gate of the second prince’s mansion was kicked open, shattering into strips of wood.

Sikong Mo entered ominously from outside, anchoring the second prince in the living room.

The second prince had seen Sikong Mo before, and every time he did, he felt an urge to tremble and kneel.

Although by status, he should have been more noble, unfortunately, he did not hold as much power as Sikong Mo, who was more influential in the court.

“What… what do you want?” the second prince stammered, collapsing back into his chair.

Thinking it over, he realized his behavior was too cowardly. He mustered his courage, straightened his robe, then sat upright, sternly looking at Sikong Mo, “Sikong Mo, I warn you, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re the War King. Don’t forget, this is the Capital City, under the Emperor’s feet, and I am the second prince of Dongyue!”

“Where is the person?” Sikong Mo’s bloodthirsty gaze intensified the prince’s feeling that he might be dismembered the next moment.

“What… what person?” the second prince was confused.

“The person you had taken from the inn last night!” Suddenly, Sikong Mo advanced, grabbing the second prince’s neck with increasingly tightening fingers.

Whoosh!

Hidden Guards by the second prince’s side immediately appeared from hiding and attacked Sikong Mo.

A tyrannical aura erupted from Sikong Mo, slamming the two Hidden Guards attacking him against a nearby wall.

Then, more men attacked, fiercely clashing with those Sikong Mo had brought.

In moments, the second prince’s mansion was drenched in blood, the guards rushing in were killed instantly, their throats severed, and the few highly skilled Hidden Guards suffered even worse, chopped into pieces and piled together, almost forming a small mound of corpses.
