章 2984: Departure

"His Highness the Crown Prince's temper is rather volatile. I'm certain you've had a front-row view of it in recent days."

"Do you truly believe things will go well after a falling out with His Highness?"

Shi Yongyan clenched her fists tightly, striving to contain the anger simmering within her.

There must be some limit to such foolishness, one would think.

Mo Xikang glared at the woman before him, his anger mounting, and the cold words Mo Lian had uttered before her departure echoed in his mind.

"Be a worthy monarch, Zheng Prince!"

"Be a worthy monarch, Zheng Prince!"

Drat it!

Mo Xikang felt a sense of unease and despondency. Could his status as Zheng Prince be revoked at any moment?

Currently, the words of Crown Prince Mo hung over him like a collection of sharp swords poised to descend at any instant, ready to snatch everything away from him.
