Chapter 2657: Chapter 2657: Let’s Endure for Now

It’s true, isn’t it? Previously, Consort Wen was tortured, while he was only whipped a few times by the City Defense Force.

Even so, his whole body hurt. How could those lowly people dare to beat the future Crown Prince?

"Mother, I will still be the Crown Prince, right?" he asked.

Upon hearing the Fifteenth Prince’s question, Dowager Consort Yu’s pupils suddenly shrank, filled with malicious intent, as she looked at him.

"Shut up!"

How could she have given birth to such a son? Could he not see how she was being tormented?

She had thought her son was worried for her, concerned for her injuries, shaking her to wake her up to talk to him. Now she knew that he was only worried about himself.

He feared they were both doomed, and his position as Crown Prince would be forfeited!

"Crown Prince? At this point, you’re still thinking about being Crown Prince. Have you considered your mother’s..." All her words were stuck in her throat, unable to be spoken.

This son hadn’t considered at all that if they couldn’t survive this, he might be alright, as he was the Retired Emperor’s son, and wouldn’t be left with only a dead-end.

But she was different; with what she had done, even with the shelter of the Retired Emperor and the Yu Family, it was a dead-end for her!

What could she do?

This son hadn’t thought about it at all!

"Mother, what’s wrong?"

The Fifteenth Prince looked innocently at Dowager Consort Yu with her body covered in wounds.

Upon realizing he wouldn’t die, he relaxed completely, no longer feeling the fear he had earlier.

As for the suffering now, once he saw the Emperor, he would surely avenge himself against those who bullied him—he was sure of it.

"Mother, when will we be let out?" he asked.

Upon hearing this, Dowager Consort Yu took a deep breath, turned her head, and refused to look at this naive yet infuriating son.

Go out? Could they even get out?

Don’t talk about being Crown Prince; even if they lived, they’d likely be imprisoned for life, under surveillance. That was probably the best treatment they could hope for.

After pondering, she realized silence wouldn’t work either, so she turned back to the Fifteenth Prince.

"Ji’er, if you want to get out, don’t speak such treasonous words anymore," she said.

"I haven’t said anything treasonous," the Fifteenth Prince said innocently. What had he said? Wasn’t everything he said just something his mother had told him before?

Dowager Consort Yu: "..."

This doesn’t count as not saying anything? Never mind, she had taught him these things before, so she should teach him again.

"Now that we are in trouble, being Crown Prince is impossible. Ji’er, if you keep saying such things, the only result will be more suffering."

"But..."

The Fifteenth Prince was extremely unwilling. Hadn’t his mother told him he would be the Crown Prince in the future? Why was it impossible now?

But considering their current situation, was it possible that saying such things would bring a beating? If so, he would bear it for now.

"I understand, I won’t say those things again."

"Hmm."

Dowager Consort Yu nodded with satisfaction.

At least if they kept quiet, Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang couldn’t do anything to them. Next, she could focus on healing her injuries.
