Chapter 1677: If You’ve Seen Enough, Get Out
"Alright." Qingtong nodded.
The carriage moved at this moment, heading towards the Dragon Court Palace.
As Qingtong and the others were heading to the Dragon Court Palace, Prince Hai and the Third Princess of Sea Emperor were also appearing in the Dragon Court Palace.
"How come the Prince and the Third Princess have time to come to the Dragon Court Palace?"
In the main hall of the Dragon Court Palace, where the Sea Emperor resides, the Sea Empress, adorned in luxurious clothing, received the visiting Prince Hai and the Third Princess.
Her expression was puzzled and wary.
The Third Princess of Sea Emperor had been ordered a punishment only yesterday; when taken back, she was covered in wounds and logically should have been bedridden for days. Yet today, she was appearing in this Dragon Court Palace?
And the Prince...
The Sea Empress’s gaze turned towards the regal young man at the forefront.
It was clear earlier that he was assigned to patrol the most remote sea territories. According to her and the Sea Emperor’s estimates, it would take at least a month or two before he could return. How was he suddenly appearing here?
𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Could it be that he has already sensed something?
Thinking about this, the Sea Empress’s heart tightened instantly.
However, she was also someone who had seen numerous battles and remained very composed.
From her words and actions, no flaws could be seen.
"I was concerned about the Sea Emperor and heard that His Majesty was feeling unwell lately, so I specially came back to check on him."
Upon hearing the Sea Empress’s words, Prince Hai’s expression was indifferent, his gaze cold and not concealed.
His return this time was already very enigmatic. If he intentionally concealed it, the other party would think too much instead.
Might as well let them know he returned intentionally and has ulterior motives!
In any case, after today, they won’t be able to scheme anymore!
Seeing the coldness in his eyes, the Sea Empress’s heart sank instantly.
Was he really here to probe deliberately because he had noticed something?
She gritted her teeth slightly.
Fortunately, they had already invited Luo Qingtong to intervene; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
These people, as His Majesty said, were truly always watching him.
Just waiting for him to show signs of poisoning, then they would immediately attack!
The Sea Empress was extremely resentful inside, but her face showed nothing.
"The Prince must have heard wrongly. His Majesty is in good health, without any issues." Her expression was calm.
"Is that so? Then please, Sea Empress, allow His Majesty to come and meet with us!"
Prince Hai’s expression was mocking.
"After all, with such rumors circulating, and since... you, Sea Empress, are not among our clan, some concerns we have are very normal!"
"Wouldn’t you agree?"
The implication of his words was very clear, accusing the Sea Empress of potentially harming the Sea Emperor.
"You!"
Infuriated by his words, the Sea Empress slammed the armrest and was about to stand up.
At this moment, an incredibly deep voice rang out.
"What are you saying? Is this how you speak to the Sea Empress? I don’t need your concern! Once you’re done, get out of here!"
With this voice sounding, instantly, a figure walked into the main hall.
The figure was tall, with a stern and icy expression, commanding respect without anger, looking at Prince Hai and the others with displeasure.
"Have you seen enough now?"
"If you have, then leave!"
The Sea Emperor’s voice was cold.
He walked straight to the Sea Empress, holding her hand, comforting her.
"Uncle, why are you like this? My brother and I only care about you!"
"Moreover, the Sea Empress is not originally from our clan, nor from the Northern Domain, who knows what intentions she might have in the future?"
"We are doing this for your own good." The Third Princess of Sea Emperor said.
