Chapter 142: The Willful Prince…

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The group of senior officials all had matching worried frowns that matched the King of Mo Kingdom’s. His Highness the Crown Prince slacking off in his work was truly worrisome!

This matter had to be traced back to the day that the crown prince returned to the capital.

The crown prince had sent someone to quell the disturbance caused by the mutated corpse of the royal maid in Noble Consort Zheng’s palace. The matter was originally fine, and Noble Consort Zheng’s problem was successfully dealt with.

In a turn of events, however, the matter did not end there!

Noble Consort Zheng went to the old king and complained about it with profuse weeping. She said that the people that the crown prince sent were very rude and unreasonable and impertinently searched her palace after taking care of the monster, turning it upside down and knocking over many valuable items, etc etc etc. She pulled the old king with her to demand compensation from the crown prince…

When the crown prince went to the king’s study to report about the zombies, the king coldly reprimanded the crown prince for disrespecting his concubine mother and being overly arrogant and so on!

Wonderful, it was like stabbing a hornet’s nest!

His Highness the Crown Prince, who might look easy-going, gentle, and refined but was actually frank to the point of making people bristle with anger, not only insulted the king on the spot but also left with a flick of his sleeves and went into seclusion. He then ignored all visitors from thereon out!

That night, Noble Consort Zheng’s Sophora Flower Palace was the subject of a tragic robbery…

Although there were not any clues, everyone—including the old king—were well aware that the crown prince was the culprit of this cruel event!

The king was very angry, but this was trouble caused by his son, so he had to take the blame…

Although he would berate this exceptionally outstanding son of his occasionally, he knew that only the crown prince was capable of great things and could inherit the throne of Mo Kingdom.

Since the king could not bear to punish the crown prince, he had no choice but to take the blame silently. Later, he was drowned by Noble Consort Zheng’s tears and anger, but he could merely benevolently pacify her.

Thankfully, however, before the crown prince went into retreat, he had already ordered the whole city to enter lockdown. Over these past two days, the captain of the Dragon Saliva Guard, Yu Xiu, had been leading people to investigate all the families who had previously held a burial in the city.

As for inside the palace… it was a long story!

Since the crown prince did not clearly state that the Dragon Saliva Guard was responsible for the safety of the entire royal palace, the Dragon Saliva Guard only guarded the areas around the Eastern Palace and Central Palace, ignoring the other places completely.

The 3000 people under the commander of the royal guard were simply insufficient.

And so, something would go wrong over here in the morning and trouble would stir over there in the afternoon. The commander of the royal guard, Hui Feng, felt highly wrung out and really wanted to cry from leading the royal guards running all over the palace with duties piled up to their ears!

During the morning court, an official from the eldest prince’s party jumped out and admonished the crown prince for being incapable and jointly impeached His Highness the Crown Prince with several other major officials.

The officials from the Eastern Palace’s party 1 nearly went into a full out brawl with the eldest prince’s party. They started arguing with flushed faces in the throne room and wished for nothing more than to start throwing punches and kicks, nearly angering the king into vomiting blood!

After adjourning the court with an angry flick of his sleeves, the king drew the beautiful Noble Consort Zheng to the royal gardens and intended to take a walk there while relaxing with a beautiful woman.

Yet, a zombie abruptly jumped out of the pond and glomped Noble Consort Zheng, squeezing her neck while screaming. It almost frightened the old king to death.

This matter was particularly serious. After witnessing the viciousness of a zombie firsthand, the old king finally understood the danger behind corpses mutating into zombies.

He wanted to find his son to discuss this matter, but his son was in seclusion and would not come out, so his only option was to summon his officials to conjure up a plan.

“This is all Noble Consort Zheng’s fault. If it weren’t for Noble Consort Zheng creating something from nothing and causing His Highness the Crown Prince to go into seclusion from anger, then why would things devolve into this?” Not many people would dare to say this. The speaker just happened to be the queen’s younger brother, the Marquis of Stability, Zhao Sheng.

The king wanted to berate him, but he could not say anything when faced with his queen’s brother’s righteous face.

Zhao Sheng was indeed full of righteousness. “In this subject’s view, Noble Consort Zheng should be punished with 30 flogs to give justice to His Highness the Crown Prince!”

Everyone grew silent. The Marquis of Stability was truly willing to say anything! Look at how green the king’s face turned!
