Chapter 189 Iron Ore, Unexpected Surprise

The words of the Empress were spoken in anger.

Even if Murong Jiu still held feelings for the Second Prince, she wouldn't dare make a move against the Third Prince under the Emperor's watchful eye—she certainly did not have a death wish.

The Second Prince persuaded, "Father Emperor will not get his way this time, either, and it's not without gains; the Grand Tutor has already died and can no longer continue to mentor the younger brother. We've had him return to the Capital City early; he might not have learned anything substantial. Even if Father Emperor insists on his own way, the court officials won't be willing."

That was the reasoning behind it.

After listening, the Empress's expression relaxed slightly.

The Second Prince added, "Besides, it's not certain that the younger brother will survive this ordeal. Perhaps, he'll deteriorate these next few days and soon pass away."

"Then, I would indeed go and pray daily, hoping the Third Prince ascends to paradise soon!"
