Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1953: Fuming with Rage

Unexpectedly, just as the Prime Minister finished speaking, Long Rui coldly said, "Since you can handle it, then hurry up and apologize. Don’t keep me waiting."

The Prime Minister expressed his frustration, feeling almost furious with Long Rui, extending a trembling finger to point at him, saying, "You... you... you."

Long Rui said with a sly tone, "Don’t hesitate, hurry up and apologize. This is the Emperor’s order. I advise the Prime Minister to best execute it quickly, otherwise, beware of being accused of defying the Sovereign."

Everyone gasped at the audacity; this War Prince is not just cunning but actually blaming the Prime Minister for the very defiance he himself displayed towards the Emperor.

The Prime Minister was so infuriated that he couldn’t speak, sitting on the chair gasping heavily. His waist injured severely from Long Rui’s kick, he dared not move an inch, truly suffering.

Struggling to regain his breath, the Prime Minister said, "Emperor, War Prince he... he..."

The Emperor was also annoyed by Long Rui’s defiance, but couldn’t openly admit that Long Rui had offended the imperial grace. After all, it was not the time to turn hostile.

So be it, overthrowing the War Prince wasn’t a matter of a day or two, he’d long lost face. The Emperor decided not to dwell on it, for if he quarreled with the War Prince over everything, he’d have died from anger long ago.

"Do whatever the Prince says." The Emperor indicated he was too annoyed to care.

Emperor, how could you be so unprincipled! The War Prince says whatever he wants, and you just surrender? Are you still the sovereign of a nation?

The Prime Minister was stunned, the Emperor’s words felt like a bucket of cold water poured over him.

Even if he had opinions, the Prime Minister dared not express them publicly against the Emperor.

Long Rui’s cold voice rang out again, "Prime Minister, what’s all the dithering for?"

"This... this...!" Under pressure, the Prime Minister helplessly looked at the Emperor, hoping for his rescue.

But the Emperor turned away, acting as if uninvolved.

Long Rui’s voice, like a death sentence, sounded again, "Hurry up."

The civil and military officials were stunned; the War Prince was so commanding, forcing the court’s Prime Minister to apologize to him in front of the Emperor. Such audacity!

"I was wrong." The Prime Minister’s voice was as tiny as a mosquito.

Utilizing his inner strength, Long Rui’s voice echoed throughout Taihe Hall, "Prime Minister, what did you say? I can’t hear you."

"You... you..."

"What’s the matter? Does the Prime Minister intend to defy the order?"

"I was wrong. War Prince, you are magnanimous, don’t hold it against me." Forced with no other option, the Prime Minister endured his pain and raised his voice.

"Hm! Considering your age, I’ll let you off this time. But don’t forget, Prime Minister, send 100,000 taels worth of silver notes to the War Prince’s Mansion tomorrow."

"What?"

The Prime Minister couldn’t help but screech, the War Prince had his mansion dismantled, and instead of compensating silver, he demanded silver notes? Such boldness!

"I’ll say it only once, won’t repeat it again. Prime Minister, take care of this yourself. If I don’t see the silver note by sunset tomorrow, I’ll approach the Emperor to intervene. After all, it was the Emperor who ordered you to compensate. If you dare to renege, I’ll seek the Emperor then." Long Rui continued slyly, with undeniable threats in his words.

This not only infuriated the Prime Minister, but the Emperor was also terribly vexed. The War Prince turned black into white, openly disrespecting the Emperor.

Though furious internally, the Emperor had to bear it; recently, rumors spread that a neighboring country was stirring again, and he depended on the War Prince to fight for him. For the future of Moli Country, no matter the anger, he had to endure it.
