2387 Angering to Death!
“Someone!” The Ultramarine Province Emperor waved his hand and declared, “Relay Our decree. Beauty Wang is jealous by nature and has no virtues nor morals! Her conduct is undignified and lacks manners in the emperor’s presence! She is reckless and has ruthlessly used underhanded methods to harm Noble Consort Duan. We have stripped her of her title as Beauty and will punish her with fifty flogs with a stick! She is to be demoted to a commoner and expelled from the court.”
Beauty Wang immediately collapsed to the ground. As she got dragged away to get flogged, she was still shrieking nonstop, “Your Majesty, this concubine has been framed! Your Majesty, this concubine has truly been framed!”
This banquet ended up concluding on bad terms.
After the emperor and the empress departed, everybody else also scattered.
Duan Yue made the excuse that his mother needed to rest properly so he would not let the little ermine bother her. Hence, he carried the protesting Qiao Mu back to his yurt.
“Fourth Brother.” A laugh came from behind him.
Duan Yue turned around and saw the second prince and third prince walk together side by side. They were looking at him with artificial smiles.
“Do you need something?” Duan Yue said indifferently, “It is not early anymore. Today has been a tiring day, so Elder Brothers had best return earlier to rest.”
“No need to rush.” The second prince’s face twitched as he sized up this younger brother. His gaze landed on the little ermine in Duan Yue’s arms.
“Fourth Brother’s ermine has stolen the limelight today.”
“Oh, it’s only a trifling skill.” Duan Yue petted the little fellow’s head. He could sense the little one wriggling her head awkwardly to prevent him from petting her head.
“Ha ha.” The third prince tugged the corner of his mouth into a laugh and said, “After this incident tonight, we didn’t get the chance to show everyone the level-seven spiritual beast we caught.”
“Oh.” Duan Yue was disinterested. He also took a jab at them. “I constantly see sacred beasts, so I really am not interested in a level-seven spiritual beast.”
The little fellow couldn’t resist rolling about in his arms upon hearing this. She felt that this guy truly had a wicked mouth that could compare to Lian’s.
Even Qiaoqiao felt bad for the second prince and third prince, seeing them puff up in anger like pufferfish, yet still having to hold it in and maintain their well-mannered smiles!
“Besides, this younger brother heard that the person who contributed the most in hunting the level-seven spiritual beast was still Vassal Prince Rong.” Duan Yue took another fatal jab at them and commented with a chuckle, “Presumably, Elder Brothers may have been in danger had Vassal Prince Rong not made a timely appearance!”
The third prince could not maintain his good manners anymore. He pointed at Duan Yue and berated, “You! What are you saying? You! You’re saying that without Rong Qing, we couldn’t have defeated that level-seven spiritual beast??”
Duan Yue shrugged with an expression that said ‘of course.’ This also angered the second prince into brooding forbiddingly.
Duan Yue looked up and waved his hand in the other direction with a smile. “Vassal Prince Rong!”
A handsome and tall man walked up behind the two princes and cupped his hands in greeting. “Greetings to Your Second Highness, Your Third Highness, and Your Highness the Chen Prince.”
The second prince flung his sleeves menacingly. “We’re leaving!”
The third prince naturally followed the second prince. He turned back to glower at Duan Yue before walking off angrily.
The third prince had originally wanted to come and show off, as well as taunt Duan Yue, yet who knew that Duan Yue would embarrass them instead. He walked back to his yurt while huffing and puffing in anger.
