Cold Palace, Hot Blood: A Prince’s Rebirth

"You...you are crazy, you are a lunatic!"

Mara's face turned pale, she was shocked and angry, even her lips were trembling.

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and find the imperial physician..."

Ruixiang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He ignored the pain in his palms and gave orders to his three subordinates.

But on second thought, the Imperial Hospital is still some distance away from here, and by time Leon goes back and forth, I'm afraid all the blood in his body would have been drained out.

He hurriedly changed his words:

"Quick, take him directly to the Imperial Hospital, quickly!"

Who would have thought that the usually cowardly and useless prince could have such a strong side.

This time I really lost more than I gained!

Ruixiang had a lot of grievances in his heart.

There are many spies in the palace, and it is impossible to hide the matter all the way to the Imperial Hospital.

In this way, the news that the eldest prince Leon was forced to commit suicide by them would probably soon reach the ears of the Emperor, Lucius Virelia.

Suddenly, Ruixiang saw leon's sarcastic look.

He shuddered and roared, "All of this was planned by you. You did it on purpose, right?"

Leon didn't admit it, and sneered: "If I were you, I would never waste my time here. If something happens to me, you should know what will happen to you."

What else could the outcome be? Naturally, everyone will be buried with him!

"You...you..."

Ruixiang pointed at him, so angry that he was speechless.Before he could urge them again, the three eunuchs quickly carried Leon and rushed out the door.

After all, even ants try to survive, and no one wants to die so soon.

"Father-in-law, what should we do now?"

After everyone left, Mara grabbed Ruixiang and asked tremblingly.

"What else can we do? This kid is ruthless enough. There is no way to hide the truth."

Ruixiang face was uncertain, and he said bitterly: "The most urgent thing is to go back to find Empress Victoria, who can save us... After all, we are working for her."

"Then, hurry up and go back now!"

Mara was so terrified that she had no intention of staying to embarrass Lady Elira , so she and Ruixiang hurriedly left.

Ruixiang's guess was correct.

The wrist-cutting act was indeed done intentionally by Leon.

In this era, medical knowledge was extremely scarce, and as eunuchs and palace maids, they naturally knew even less about it.

They didn't know that although the wound on Leon's wrist looked scary, it actually did not cut the artery.

As a professionally trained special forces soldier, Leon is very good at creating this kind of wound.

In the battlefields of previous lives, this trick was often used as torture to extract confessions.

He is not a fool. He has finally traveled to this world, so why would he commit suicide?

He just wanted to use this method to make a big deal out of matter, gain the attention of the ministers and even the emperor, so as to change the situation.

Unless the Emperor of Great Virelia is truly cold-blooded and heartless, he should at least respond to his wife and children.

There is no doubt that Leon succeeded!

The news that the eldest prince committed suicide in anger, unable to endure years of bullying by the palace servants, quickly spread throughout the imperial city.

All the ministers who were working in the city were alarmed.

"This is outrageous! Although the eldest prince is guilty, he is still a royal descendant. How can he be bullied by a group of slaves?"

"What do you mean by guilty? He was still young ten years ago. What did that incident have to do with him? Your Majesty, are you going to watch your son being bullied by a bunch of slave dogs?"

"These slaves are so bold. They have no respect for superiors and subordinates. They must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others..."

Most of these ministers came from Confucian schools and always attached greater importance to the hierarchy and etiquette between the monarch and his subjects than anything else.

The most intolerable thing is someone encroaching upon the authority of his superiors.

Even those who did not sympathize with Emperor Lucias would join the team in condemnation in order to uphold propriety and law.

Those idle censors were like flies smelling blood. They all ran to the Meridia Gate to file complaints and unanimously demanded that Ruixiang, Mara and others be punished.

The officials of the "Virelia court",, who usually liked to confront each other, were unprecedentedly united this time.

But they didn't know that someone in the palace had already taken the initiative to file a complaint.

In the Solaria Palace, inside the imperial study.

The Virelian Emperor, Lucius Virelia, was holding a bronze dagger in his hand, slowly wiping it with a piece of silk.

The sword blade was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting an angular face with a majestic look.

Behind him, facing the center of the door to the imperial study, a woman in palace dress who looked to be in her thirties and had a pretty face was kneeling on the ground wiping her tears.

"Your Majesty, please help me. It is clearly the mother and son of Lady Elira who are ungrateful and bullying. I sent my servant to ask about their well-being out of kindness, so how can this be considered bullying?"

This noble lady was none other than Empress Victoria, who had always bullied Leon and his mother.

As soon as she received the report from Ruixiang and Mara, she knew that something was wrong, so she immediately rushed to the Solaria Palace to file a complaint.

Before Lucius Virelia could speak, she continued angrily, "Besides, the eldest prince cut his wrist with a knife servants. Your Majesty, please do not listen to those rumors."

Lucius Virelia paused while wiping his sword and said calmly, "So, those people outside have wronged you?"

Empress Victoria's heart skipped a beat. She was actually a little nervous about this moody husband.

She said with a stiff face, "Your Majesty, what I said is true. Ever since Lady Elira and her son were sent to the cold palace, I have been thinking of them as sisters for the past ten years. I have always sent servants to visit them every now and then."

"I meant well. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can call in the servants from the harem to question me."

She was not afraid of Lucius Virelia questioning the servants,Not to mention the servants, all of whom were taken care of by her, even considering her status, they probably wouldn't tell the truth.

No one would go against a powerful concubine for the sake of two people who were banished to the cold palace.

However, she did not expect that she would be refuted as soon as she finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, what Empress Victoria said is not true!"

The sudden voice made Empress Victoria's eyes turn cold and she looked towards the door angrily.

A burly figure wearing soft armor, a sword hanging from his waist, and a thick cloak appeared at the door of the study, blocking out half of the sky.

"Oh, Commander Kai, come in if you have something to say."

Lucius Virelia was obviously very familiar with the big man's voice.

This person was the leader of the guards he personally selected. Usually, when he was working, the other person would guard the door, so he was not shy about it.

"As you command."

kai shook off the frost and snow from his cloak, then walked in the study.

Emperor Lucius closed the dagger, finally turned around, sat on the chair and asked: "What did you mean by what you just said?"

Empress Victoria suddenly interrupted: "Commander kai, please be aware of your identity. Don't talk about things you don't know..."

"Don't worry, Empress Victoria. I am loyal to Your Majesty and the court. Everything I said was what I saw with my own eyes. I will never speak nonsense."

Kai seemed not to hear the threat in Empress Victoria's words. He looked serious and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, it's not just Empress Victoria. I've also visited the cold palace from time to time over the past ten years, so I know that the servants sent by Empress Victoria were not caring, but were taking pleasure in bullying Lady Elira and her son. Everything I say is true, and I guarantee it with my life."

"you..."

Empress Victoria shuddered and her expression changed immediately.
