"It's Prince Hao, it's really Prince Hao!"
"It's him, it's indeed Prince Hao... Why is his face like this?"
"And, his leg..."
Heavens! Where did the once elegant Prince Hao go?
The person before them was clearly Chu Minghao, but he had transformed from a handsome man into a disfigured and crippled... ugly monster.
How could this have happened?
After paying his respects to Chu Qianli, Chu Minghao turned back to look at Prince Yu kneeling on the ground.
Seeing his own father kneeling, Chu Minghao showed no pity. Instead, anger flared up in his eyes.
"You thought I was dead, didn't you?"
He walked towards Prince Yu step by step. "For you, I took all the blame, but you not only mistreated my people, but also ordered the extermination of all the concubines in my manor!"
"You knew very well that Ru Ji was carrying my child. In the great hall, you threatened me with my child to keep your secret."
"I confessed, but you still wouldn't let Ru Ji go! Do you have to annihilate my entire family? I am your son!"
"No... no, Hao'er, it's not like that, it's not..."
Prince Yu wanted to retreat, to distance himself from him.
But he couldn't move his body; he was completely immobilized.
Chu Minghao was walking towards him.
Every word he spoke was accompanied by tears. He was his son!
Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, yet he wanted to exterminate his son!
"Hao'er, no... it's not like that..."
"Not like that?" Chu Minghao sneered, then suddenly threw open his black robe.
Beneath the black robe, one leg was gone!
No wonder he walked with a limp; it turned out that his other leg had been replaced by a crutch.
His leg had been amputated!
"To cover up your crimes, you ordered someone to give me a potent poison in prison, to silence me! Father, I am your own son, why would you do this to me?"
"That poison was enough to kill anyone, with no chance of survival! You thought I would surely die, that I would have no chance to live, didn't you?"
"No, no..."
Chu Minghao walked closer and closer, the empty trouser leg swaying in Prince Yu's sight.
Coupled with Chu Minghao's completely disfigured face, he looked like a demon from hell, terrifying.
Prince Yu had never been so afraid in his life.
It wasn't because he feared ghosts, but because the person before him was truly his son!
His own flesh and blood!
When he had ordered him to be poisoned, he hadn't struggled.
Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs; he could be ruthless to anyone, but this was his own child!
But he had no choice!
The matter of the moat could absolutely not be leaked.
Even though he was Prince Yu, he was ultimately facing over three thousand lives!
Having committed such a grave mistake, let alone a mere Prince Yu, even the Emperor would be overthrown by the people!
His secret could not be revealed. Keeping Chu Minghao alive was always a threat; he had to eliminate him, even if he was his own son.
But now, his son had returned, returning as a demon!
Prince Yu was truly terrified, feeling as if he had one foot at the gates of hell.
If he went to hell, would he suffer the torment of eighteen levels of hell?
"Hao'er..."
"I am not your Hao'er!"
Chu Minghao suddenly lunged at him like a madman, "I am a ghost! I am a ghost!"
