Meanwhile, Longyuan was lying down in his dark prison cell, his eyes sparkling as he called out, “Mother! Did you come to see me so early today? Great!”

Dressed in the empress’s elegant dress, ‘Liu Rushuang’, the unparalleled beauty walked up to Longyuan’s jail cell with an evil smile. Coldness showed in her gaze as she laid eyes on Longyuan.

Longyuan blinked his large eyes and asked in confusion, “Why do you look so weird, Mother?”

“Open the door!” ‘Liu Rushuang’ demanded then.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The prison guards quickly opened the door, afraid to be even a second slow.

“Leave us.”

After the prison guards left, ‘Liu Rushuang’ smiled sinisterly and entered the cell.

“Come here, Yuan’er.”

‘Liu Rushuang’ dropped to a crouch and spread her arms, giving Longyuan a smile that did not quite reach her eyes.

“Did your smile somehow change, Mother?”

Longyuan made his way to ‘Liu Rushuang’, wrinkling his little brows with a suspicious look.

“Gak… Mother, why are you choking me?”

Once Longyuan got close, ‘Liu Rushuang’ had reached out to strangle Longyuan, a smug smile showing on the corner of her lips.

“A child like you actually has the gall to beat up Little White Flower and kill Elder Meng… how worse would you get with age? I must kill you soon as your mother, or you’ll be a menace when you get older.”

‘Liu Rushuang’ flashed a smile that looked evil no matter how one looked at it.

“Boo-hoo… Mother… I really didn’t beat up Little White Flower or kill Elder Meng… you have to believe me… cough, cough…”

Even so, ‘Liu Rushuang’ grip over Longyuan’s neck continued to tighten, and she could not help laughing out loud as that tiny, adorable face went pale.

Survival instincts kicked in then, and Longyuan raised his palms to strike at ‘Liu Rushuang’, who felt her chest burn in the next instant.

She freed him involuntarily then.

Bang—

Longyuan dropped to the floor, and quickly darted for the cell door, but ‘Liu Rushuang’ caught him by the collar in the next instant.

“Boo-hoo… Mother… don’t kill me… I don’t want to die…”

Longyuan begged tearfully at ‘Liu Rushuang’ with a look of utter grief and innocence. “I’ll be a good boy from now on, mother… Please, spare me.”

‘Liu Rushuang’ glared darkly at him, however, and the drop of blood dripping from the corner of her lips added to her sinister presence.

She ruthlessly threw Longyuan on the iron bars of the jail cell.

Bang—

Longyuan slammed heavily on the bars and then on the floor, and cried in despair, “Cough, cough… mother… it hurts… please, let me go…”

‘Liu Rushuang’ smiled again, delighted at the sight of Longyuan’s misery and tears. Picking up the boy again, she slammed him on the iron bars again.

Feeling as if every bone in his body was broken, Longyuan despaired further.

His mother was really going to kill him… even though she was supposed to love him so much!

“Cough-cough-cough…”

After being slammed into the iron bars over ten times, Longyuan was left coughing on the flood, his face pale and his tears streaming endlessly from his cheeks.

“Hahaha… Die! In your next life, remember to come back and find me to settle the score!”

‘Liu Rushuang’ picked up Longyuan then, and then threw him at the sturdy wall.

Just a Longyuan’s eyes widened at the sight of the wall, feeling that his death was certain, he suddenly fell into a soft embrace.

He then noticed the familiar scent of his mother.
