The Third Prince lowered his head, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes, and his desire for power grew even stronger.
He thought to himself: They are all daughters, yet he simply cannot treat them equally.
Even the Empress Dowager's words had not allowed him to see his mother or sister.
In his heart, the Third Prince cursed Yun Qingyu fiercely again, thinking: It's all that disaster Yun Qingyu's fault. If it weren't for her, how could my mother have been demoted to Consort? How could Yiling have suddenly gone mad from the shock? Even on the Empress Dowager's birthday, Father is unwilling to let them out.
Just wait; once I become emperor, I will make everyone here pay with their lives.
Meanwhile, Yun Qingyu merely focused on her food, completely indifferent to the Third Prince's thoughts.
The royal banquet was ultimately filled with tests of interests; there was no warmth or familial affection to speak of, and she couldn't be bothered to listen to the voices of the concubines.
The Third Prince was seething with anger, but seeing Yun Qingyu's calm demeanor only fueled his rage further as he repeatedly cursed her in his mind as a "disaster."
Hong Yu, in a bid for favor, had raised an adorable Little Spirit Pet to present to Yun Qingyu as a gift for the Empress Dowager. During the birthday celebration, the Little Spirit Pet caused chaos, plunging the Third Prince into despair.
Suddenly, the Third Prince turned his fury towards Yun Qingyu, baring his teeth and shouting angrily, "You are the disaster! Who is messing with me? Yun Qingyu, it's you, isn't it?"
Yun Qingyu frowned and coldly regarded this out-of-control fool. She felt some disappointment towards the Third Prince; now seeing him act madly on the Empress Dowager's birthday only reinforced her belief that the Emperor needed to placate Yun Qingyu and not let this useless son ruin his good fortune.
The Emperor was burning with rage and shouted loudly, "Come here!"
Outside Renshou Palace, Yun Xuanyi led two Imperial Guards inside, kneeling on one knee, waiting for orders.
The Emperor coldly commanded, "The Third Prince has suddenly lost his mind. Take him out and give him thirty lashes. I want to see just how far he can go with this madness."
The Empress Dowager, feeling pity for the Third Prince, spoke up in a low voice to plead with the Emperor, "Today is my birthday."
The implication was clear: she wanted him to show mercy and not punish the Third Prince. Meanwhile, the Third Prince could still hear the childish laughter echoing in his ears, taunting him with words like "fool" and "gloating." He was about to face thirty lashes.
At that moment, he completely lost control and shouted, "Shut up! I command you to be quiet! Can't you hear me?"
It was a strange coincidence that every time the Empress Dowager pleaded for leniency, she would hear the Third Prince telling her to be quiet.
Her face turned ashen, and she felt like giving up on him altogether.
The Emperor trembled with anger and bellowed, "Take him out and beat him! I don't want to see him again."
The Imperial Guards quickly grabbed the Third Prince and dragged him outside. The hall fell silent; the princes and concubines quietly glanced at Yun Qingyu. Why wasn’t the Eldest Princess angry?
Yun Qingyu cast a calm glance at the concubines and said, "What are you all staring at This Palace for? Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday; This Palace will not stoop to his level. Besides, Father has already punished him."
The Empress Dowager looked at Yun Qingyu with a thoughtful expression. Being publicly scolded and humiliated without any reaction was unusual for her; how could she endure it today?
"How could Tianyin go mad for no reason?" The Empress Dowager's face darkened as she glanced at the Little Spirit Pet on the table. "Could this Little Guy be behind it?"
