Chu Heng was born and declared as the Crown Prince, gentle and harmonious since childhood, never revealing even a trace of anger to outsiders.
But today, his fury overwhelmed everyone at the Marquis's Manor, including his uncle Su Hao, who all knelt before him trembling with fear.
A shadow lay over Chu Heng's exquisite features, his gaze sweeping through the people below like a sharp sword, "Speak! Who conspired with others to abduct Yue'er!"
His authority and pressure made those kneeling below him seem not as his kin but as criminals!
Su Hao was the first to kowtow and confess, "This humble minister was foolish, unaware that the emperor had left the palace, disappearing outside the gates of the Marquis's Manor. It was the manor's oversight; the manor admits guilt! Please, Your Highness, quell your anger!"
