"Rebellious son! Kneel before me!"
The door was closed, and the veiled woman stared coldly at the man standing before her.
Her good son! Truly good!
She sent him to the Southern Nether to find the Heaven and Earth Lock, and what did he do?
He accompanied Chu Qianli to save some common folk, and helped the Southern Nether Emperor deal with Prince Yu!
This damned brat! Had he forgotten everything she said?
"Still not kneeling? Do you intend to defy me?" Seeing his expressionless stillness, Huarong was so enraged her heart felt like it would burst, and she couldn't help but cough.
Nanny Cui was startled and quickly said, "Sovereign, your health is not good, you must not get angry!"
Feng Yexuan clenched his fists, and finally, with a thud, knelt down. "Mother, your son knows his mistake. Please, Mother, do not be angry."
"Yes, Sovereign, please don't upset yourself. Your body is already..."
Nanny Cui said worriedly. Although she didn't finish, Feng Yexuan knew Huarong's condition.
Huarong glared at Feng Yexuan and angrily said, "In your eyes, do you still have me as your mother?"
Feng Yexuan's face remained expressionless. "Naturally, I do."
"Then why did you still provoke Chu Qianli?"
Feng Yexuan did not answer this question.
Huarong's fingertips began to tremble with rage. "What do you mean by that?"
She pointed at Feng Yexuan, her finger shaking incessantly.
Nanny Cui said urgently, "Sovereign! Master Liujin said that if you get angry again, there will be... a threat to your life! Sovereign, please calm down!"
Upon hearing the words "threat to your life," a crack finally appeared in Feng Yexuan's icy face.
"Mother, what you want your son to do, your son will surely accomplish. But, why can't your son be with Li'er? She is already your son's wife."
"You! You rebellious son! Even now, you are still infatuated with that dead girl!"
Huarong was truly on the verge of losing her sanity. She slammed her palm onto the armrest of a chair.
The armrest immediately shattered into pieces!
"Nanny Cui, get me a stick!"
"Sovereign..." Nanny Cui looked troubled.
"Are you also disobeying me now?" Huarong glared at her furiously.
Nanny Cui had no choice but to walk to the side and, with a snap, break off the leg of one of the chairs.
"Sovereign..."
"Beat him! Beat him hard! Until this rebellious son admits his mistake!" Huarong gritted her teeth and said angrily.
Nanny Cui, holding the wooden stick, walked up to Feng Yexuan and said helplessly, "Your Highness, just apologize to the Sovereign. Tell the Sovereign that you will no longer think of Chu Qianli, alright?"
Unexpectedly, Feng Yexuan looked up at Huarong, his gaze firm. "I don't know what sorcery Feng Ling cast on me to make me believe I no longer had Li'er in my heart, but your son now knows that the woman he cares about most in this life is Li'er!"
"What Mother wants, your son can do for you. But your son absolutely cannot abandon her. Please, Mother, grant my wish!"
"You... you... you're rebelling! You've completely rebelled!"
Huarong walked over, snatched the wooden stick from Nanny Cui's hand, and with a crack, struck Feng Yexuan hard on the back.
Feng Yexuan did not even flinch. His expression remained unchanged as he endured the pain.
"Say it! Say that you will never see Chu Qianli again! From now on, you will never think of her. Say it!"
Huarong raised her hand and struck him again.
Feng Yexuan's expression remained unchanged.
Only a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his lips.
Huarong raged, "I want you to swear! To never think of that woman again! Say it!"
