Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

Longyuan rubbed the soles of his shoe on Cang Mu’s head, and coldly smiled when he saw Cang Mu clenched his fist.

Moments later, he took off his foot and snapped, “You can get up now. My shoes are clean!”

Cang Mu straightened up to face him and said with an icy look, “You shouldn’t bully your subordinates, Your Highness. I’m definitely telling the empress if you do this again.”

Smack—

Longyuan slapped Cang Mu firmly across the face at that and sneered, “I just wanted to bully you, is all! Go complain if you want!”

With that, Longyuan snorted and turned to leave.

The handmaidens and guardsmen looked at Cang Mu with sympathy before leaving with Longyuan.

Cang Mu was probably going to suffer from now on.

There was a dark look in Cang Mu’s eyes as he glimpsed at Longyuan’s back. Moments later, he straightened himself and tagged along.

Meanwhile, Longyuan had an unusually icy smile on his face as he walked steadily to Little White Flower’s chambers.

They just entered when Little White Flower came out from the back, having tied her hair into twin buns, and looking just like a little goddess from portraits with her beautiful face and pale-green skirt.

“W-Why are you here again?”

Little White Flower was stunned right then, and more or less spooked.

Longyuan’s icy smile broadened as he approached her, and she had to back away as she snapped, “Get out! You’re not allowed in here ever again!”

“Hehe... are there even chambers here for you in this palace? Didn’t my mother give it to you? Would you be able to stay here if not for her? And did you know? She said that she actually hates you, and couldn’t wait for you to leave the palace! That is why I want you to leave and go far away from here! Because no one really likes you around here! A retard like you shouldn’t stick to my mother and annoy her, get it!?”

Longyuan stood in front of Little White Flower as he told her off, his lips curling into a smile as tears welled in her eyes.

“No... That’s not true... You’re lying! Her Majesty would never hate me!” She exclaimed. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

However, Longyuan seized the moment of her shock to grab her silky hair, and pulled.

Little White Flower dropped to the floor with a bang.

***

When Cang Mu rushed in, he found Longyuan straddled on top of Little White Flower, grabbing her hair with one hand and slapping her cheeks loudly with another.

The handmaidens and guardsmen all stood stiffly nearby, unsure what to do.

Cang Mu furrowed his thick dark brows and stepped up to grab his arm, growling, “You mustn’t do this, Your Highness.”

Longyuan promptly turned and snapped angrily, “Let go! Or I’ll kill you!”

Cang Mu flinched from his glare and slowly let go. He stood up, intending to watch as the situation unfolded then.

“Aarrgh... Longyuan, let go! It hurts! Sob...”

Little White Flower bawled helplessly and tried to move her hands but could not, seemingly having been struck in her acupoints.

After a while, Little White Flower’s pale cheeks were green and twice as swollen.

Cang Mu could no longer hold back, and turned to run out of the chambers.

The empress must be informed!

The crown prince appeared utterly sinister and Little White Flower was going to really get hurt if he kept this up.

When had he become so ruthless?
