Chapter 152 - The Thunder-like Anger!
The Crown Prince was a fool who kept repeating the same words for nothing. He was trying to notice the king… [This is a serious problem!]
Jiang Yu-Ming thought that the Crown Prince was going to get him killed today…
[But when did I offend the Crown Prince? Did I mess with him somehow? A prince who is going to be the king actually treats me like that…]
“Your son and his group teased and bullied Ye Xiao and his friend’s outside the southern gate. Is your baby son wronged?”
“Prince Hua-Yang had just left and your son, Jiang Tai-Sui, actually talked dirty to the little princess of the House of Hua-Yang. Is your son wronged?” The Crown Prince kept pushing him to the edge.
Jiang Yu-Ming couldn’t find the words to retort the Crown Prince.
He knew that his son could have actually done those things.
“The warriors fight for the kingdom. Your son fools around in the capital. He actually got out and bullied the warriors’ families right after they left. Isn’t it insulting the warriors who are now shedding their blood to protect you?”
“When the soldiers are disappointed, who will protect the land of our kingdom?”
The Crown Prince was harsh.
Jiang Yu-Ming felt like he would be wronged to death this time. [Wasn’t it always a children’s fight between the lads? They had done it before, hadn’t they? Why are you being so harsh on it this time and keep dragging it to the national level?]
“When the two groups of lads met. One group were moaning in heart because their families had just left to a life and death battle. Yet your son’s group acted arrogantly and humiliated people as they wish…” The Crown Prince spoke coldly, “Nobody could stand it. Isn’t it?”
“So they got into a fight. Your son was hurt. That’s true. But wasn’t he asking for it? He viciously offended people and ended up being badly beaten. It was just simply because he was lame. The one who humiliates people will always get humiliated!” The Crown Prince humphed and said, “Besides, although your son is hurt, he was not in a critical condition, as far as I know. Ye Xiao’s bones are all smashed! He is stepping into the door of the heavens right now and you actually dare to reverse right and wrong here!”
The Crown Prince had made Jiang Yu-Ming lower his head.
While he just wanted to say something, he heard the king asked in concern, “What? What did you say? His bones are all smashed? Were you talking about Ye Xiao?”
The Crown Prince turned to the king and spoke respectfully, “Yes, father. I didn’t see him myself. But I was told so. It can’t be false… Because there was actually a superior cultivator among the group of Jiang Tai-Sui. He secretly hit Ye Xiao with the long lost martial art, the vicious Melting Bone Palm.”
“What? The Melting Bone Palm?” The king had once cultivated martial arts before. He knew about the Melting Bone Palm, so his face turned pale because of fear.
These three words meant death.
“After Ye Xiao was hit, it didn’t act up immediately. When he returned to the city and just got near his house, he suddenly fell down off the horse. He bled badly and his bones all turned soft like cotton.”
The Crown Prince sighed, “Now he is in coma. He seems to be only a breathing corpse…
The House of Ye had sent the pigeon to the north to inform General Ye. He may be able to see his son for the last time.”
The Crown Prince saw the king was actually shaking.
The king’s face was all pale.
He had always been a tough guy, yet at this moment, he couldn’t help staggering. He couldn’t even stand stably. He staggered and nearly fell on the floor. He hurriedly held the table to keep his boy stable. His legs, however, were weak. He sat straight down on the chair gasping.
“Are you alright, father?” The Crown Prince was in a panic. He hurriedly stepped over.
The king’s condition rather surprised the Crown Prince. [How come? It shouldn’t be!]
The king gasped and then smiled bitterly, “I think it must be the gods’ will. The gods want my kingdom to collapse.”
Jiang Yu-Ming and the Crown Prince were both frightened.
[Why did you say that, your highness?]
The king closed his eyes. He seemed tired. He rubbed his head. He looked extremely weak and tired at the moment. He couldn’t even disguise it.
The Crown Prince was astonished at this moment.
Since he was a baby, the king was like a great mountain to him. The king had held up the whole kingdom through countless storms and misfortunes. He never showed the look he was showing right now.
The Crown Prince was scared.
After a while, the king opened his eyes slowly and murmured, “The Melting Bone Palm… It is incurable… He is in a coma… He is going to die soon… They have sent a pigeon to the Great General… He will come back to see his beloved son for the last time…”
And then he laughed weirdly and spoke coldly, “Great. How amazing!”
It looked like his hopes were all blasted apart.
He knew that when the pigeon arrived at the north, no matter what Ye Nan-Tian was working on, he would leave everything behind and return for his son.
He wouldn’t even waste a second.
[Well then… What about the war in the north?
