My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 2661

2661 Apprehension
“Ah, ah, no!! Save me!”

The majority of Lunisolar Shrine priests were normal people, while this silver priest’s cultivation was merely at level six of the mystic realm.

Even though the officials on both sides did not know what this priest was experiencing, they felt that it was something horrifying judging from his screams.

Everybody reflexively backed several steps away.

Mo Lian looked on coldly. He saw a young eunuch lift up the barrel lid and shakily force himself to close the lid again.

The Qianyuan Audience Hall descended into silence.

Besides the sound of things inside the barrel of extreme happiness slithering and biting, the silver priest’s screams faded bit by bit until nothing else was heard.

The old officials were drenched in sweat. All of them were about to cry.

They knew that their emperor was temperamental, but the emperor had been keeping his temper in check for the past several years.

They didn’t expect that such a horrifying scene would actually take place during morning court.

Thus, everybody became even more apprehensive toward His Highness the Crown Prince.

Sure enough, like father, like son.

The son’s methods were even more vicious than his father’s.

Besides, the emperor simply seemed to not tolerate other people disrespecting the crown prince.

Everybody witnessed this point. They reminded themselves in their minds: Do not court disaster in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. Otherwise their emperor might go berserk at any moment!

The silver priest in front of them was a warning to them. They must, must remember!

The Vassal King of Jianping wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. He peeked at the expressionless crown prince standing to the side. He felt a bit stifled.

He truly was the emperor’s son. Even this apathetic expression was cast in the same mold!

The Lunisolar Shrine elder in brocade robes clenched his fists tightly. He forced down the wrath that was about to spew out and did his best to speak calmly, “The silver priest offended your province’s crown prince, so even death was too good for him, but the Holy Daughter is our shrine’s icon. Will Your Majesty please show mercy and magnanimously forgive her this one time.”

The elder in brocade robes lowered his noble head and said faintly, “The emperor can make any requests for compensation. As long as the shrine can accomplish it, we definitely will not shirk at all.”

The emperor looked toward the crown prince. “What does the crown prince think?”

“This son does not agree to releasing her.” It was still that sentence, still that apatheic expression. The elder in brocade robes gritted his teeth in anger and then took a long and deep breath.

After a long time, there was no sound in the audience hall.

The elder in brocade robes huffed and puffed before doing his best to calm his voice. “I know, the Holy Daughter did something to offend the crown prince consort. Could we request for Her Highness the Crown Prince Consort to make an appearance?”

“This old man is willing to offer a sincere apology and ask for her forgiveness on behalf of the Lunisolar Shrine.
The officials wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

They felt like this situation was evolving into a queer development.

The Lunisolar Shrine couldn’t be thinking of court disaster again, right…

If they felt that the young crown prince consort would be easier to deal with, then they were utterly wrong!

The emperor did not say anything, only looking at his son again.

Crown Prince Mo’s expression was indifferent, and he stood up straight in front of the audience hall. He swept the elder in brocade robes a look of contempt. “What qualifications do you have to see the crown prince consort whenever you want?”
