Chapter 1884: Chapter 1822: Questioning Mother

Ah Jiu looked at Emperor Yan, his eyes filled with cold sharpness, disappointment, disgust, and hatred.

Never before had he been so disappointed with this person, this one who was both father and brother to him, and he never thought he would be filled with such loathing.

"Doubt?" Ah Jiu chuckled lightly, just about to speak when a little eunuch entered nervously to report that the Empress Dowager summoned Prince Jin.

Emperor Yan frowned and looked at Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu also took a breath and bowed slightly: "Does Your Majesty have any further instructions? If not, I should go and pay my respects to Royal Mother."

"Ah Jiu, do you truly wish to oppose me?" Emperor Yan said with a darkened face.

Ah Jiu replied, "I dare not." He cupped his hands and turned to leave.

How audacious!

Emperor Yan gritted his teeth and watched his back, saying: "Ah Jiu, my tolerance is limited; you should know where to stop. You are a man with a family now, do not involve those who should not be involved."

Ah Jiu suddenly turned around, his gaze sharp; he was being threatened.

Emperor Yan, meeting his gaze, narrowed his pupils slightly and curled his fingers.

Such eyes, filled with murderous intent, how dare he!

"I will obediently follow Your Majesty’s teachings." Ah Jiu chuckled, knelt on one knee, then stood up and left.

Emperor Yan, in anger, smashed the White Jade Brush Washer on the table onto the ground.

"Audacious! Arrogant!"

The Inner Servant kneeling on the ground trembled, inwardly lamenting.

Ah Jiu exuded an aura of coldness that warned others to stay away as he entered the Cining Palace, his handsome face darkened, making the palace maids and Inner Servants dare not look.

"Your Majesty, the Prince is here." Nanny Shui said to Empress Dowager Mo.

Empress Dowager Mo, supporting her head, raised her head and looked over. Seeing the expression on Ah Jiu’s face, her heart skipped a beat, and she gave Nanny Shui a look.

Nanny Shui also felt a shock, asked all the palace maids and Inner Servants to withdraw, then personally brought tea and snacks.

"Royal Mother." Ah Jiu knelt and saluted.

"Get up." Empress Dowager Mo pulled him to sit beside her and anxiously asked, "What happened? Why have you and your Imperial Brother clashed? Is it because of last night’s matter?"

Before Ah Jiu could respond, Empress Dowager Mo continued: "I also investigated last night’s affair; it has little to do with your Imperial Brother. He too is an intermediary. It’s that schemer with sinister intentions who created a situation to cause discord between you brothers. If you fall for it, then you fall into the other’s plan."

"Royal Mother." Ah Jiu took a breath and forced a smile, "I know, I did not question or blame him because of this matter; the person behind it wants to target the three of us."

Empress Dowager Mo was shocked, "What do you mean?"

Ah Jiu moved his lips, conveying in a roundabout way the conjectures he and Wufu had.

Empress Dowager Mo’s face turned white abruptly, looking at Ah Jiu, her body trembling.

Nanny Shui’s handkerchief also fell from her grasp.

"Ah Jiu, you..." Empress Dowager Mo’s heart was shaken, her voice quavering.

Ah Jiu gritted his teeth: "Royal Mother, does your Imperial Brother show you enough respect and deference?"

Empress Dowager Mo’s hand shook, the corners of her mouth stiffening, and with a forced smile, she said, "Naturally, your Imperial Brother has given Royal Mother sufficient honor."

"Royal Mother..."

"Enough. Don’t involve yourself with last night’s matter again. Royal Mother will investigate thoroughly here. You and Wufu just consummated last night, the child was also frightened. These days, don’t enter the palace and stay to accompany her well." Empress Dowager Mo interrupted him and asked him to leave the palace, not allowing him to object, letting Nanny Shui escort him out, and she herself walked into the bedroom.

Ah Jiu pressed his lips together, staring hard at Empress Dowager Mo’s back, his eyes filled with an unbearable sourness.
