Chapter 498: Just Like King Zhou

You, you Huo Qing pointed angrily at the people kneeling in front of him. The raindrops felt cold as they hit him with biting force. He suddenly felt very cold.

Are you trying to force us to abdicate? bellowed Huo Qing.

These subjects dont dare. These subjects can only set aside our lives for the sake of getting rid of the demon, the calamity-causing demon! The imperial tutor declared solemnly, Your Majesty, youve already been bewitched by this demon to the point that youre no longer able to think rationally. You can no longer see the nation or its citizens and youre allowing this demon to commit outrages. Were afraid that the nation of Yan is heading on the road to extinction.

Huo Qing was so angry his entire body was trembling, but he forced himself to calm down and said coldly, Jin Ling is just a woman. She doesnt have the power to overturn a country. Youre overestimating her. Huo Qing understood Hu er. She wasnt the type to care about glory, power, or wealth and just liked to play. How could she possibly overturn the country?

Your Majesty, these ministers bend to the task of serving the nation of Yan and spare no effort in this duty. They have done everything for the sake of this nation and its citizens, so Your Majesty, please give up on Lady Jin Ling. Humans and demons are not of the same world, said Ning Shu with a bow.

When Huo Qing heard what she said, he bellowed angrily, Shut up! We suspect that youre behind all of this because youre jealous of Jin Ling! Empress, your Xiao family is h.o.a.rding military power because you want to revolt! We knew about your traitorous intentions from the start!

Ning Shu immediately put on a grievance-filled expression as if she had been very wrongly accused. She said, Your Majesty, this subject wife is just a woman of the inner palace. How could this subject wife possibly have the power to make all the ministers do this?

Youre a woman, Jin Ling is also a woman. Why must you treat her this way? Is it fun to throw a stone at someone whos fallen into a well? Weve truly been wrong about you all these years!

Ning Shu:

She felt really speechless. Why didnt he direct his anger towards the little fox instead of towards her?

Ning Shu wiped at her tears with a handkerchief.

The little fox also looked towards Ning Shu with an expression of resentment. Empress, even if you hate me, you shouldnt let Huo Qing fall into such a predicament.

Ning Shu: I pei! The person who let Huo Qing fall into a predicament wasnt me, it was you.

It was your willfulness that caused this.

Ning Shu didnt speak and just kept wiping at her tears. Her silent sorrowful appearance made peoples heart ache.

What right do you have to point at this princes imperial mother? Shes the empress of Yan and has been carefully managing the inner palace so that Imperial Father doesnt have to worry about the family. My imperial mother hadnt done anything wrong! It was your arrival in this palace that caused the entire palace to fall into turmoil!

Huo Chengw.a.n.g said with contempt, You know no propriety. You never even curtsy when you see my imperial mother. As expected, youre just an animal.

Huo Chengw.a.n.g, shut up! Huo Qings eyes were bloodshot as he shouted at Huo Chengw.a.n.g. You dont have the right to speak here.

Huo Chengw.a.n.g was frightened by Huo Qings sinister look and burst out crying with a wah. Imperial Father, you dont want this subject son anymore? Imperial Father has the demon now and doesnt even care about his wives and children anymore. Imperial Father, please wake up! Imperial Father! Waaah

Ning Shu hugged Huo Chengw.a.n.g and wiped at his tears as she said, Dont cry Chengw.a.n.g, alright? Dont cry.

Imperial Mother, Imperial Father only wants the fox spirit and doesnt care about this subject son and Imperial Mother anymore. Huo Chengw.a.n.g sobbed.

The sad pair of mother and son made everyones heart ache. Huo Qing was immediately labeled as someone who had abandoned his wife and child.

You, all of you Huo Qing was so angry that his blood boiled and blood spilled out of his lips. He glowered at Ning Shu and Huo Chengw.a.n.g, then spat at Huo Chengw.a.n.g. d.a.m.ned wolf cub! You actually dared to commit regicide and try to kill your father!

Imperial Father, this subject son didnt. This subject son just wants Imperial Father to leave this fox spirit. This subject son and Imperial Mother need you, Imperial Father. Huo Chengw.a.n.g expression was mournful.

Huo Qing looked at Huo Chengw.a.n.g coldly. You have the Xiao familys blood flowing through your veins, so you were born with the ambition of wild wolves. We shouldve choked you to death the moment you were born.

Huo Qings shocking words stunned all the ministers. Even the most malicious tiger didnt eat its cubs, but now His Majesty actually wanted to kill his own son.

He was just like King Zhou of Shang.
