Chapter 689 A Step-by-Step Thrill 61

Indeed, at this moment, Yonghe Palace was deathly silent, with only crackling sounds coming from the main hall, as if the entire palace was about to shatter.

Meanwhile, the other palace maids and eunuchs were all trembling with fear, their heads bowed, not daring to breathe loudly, for fear of angering the wrathful Consort De.

"Speak! Yinzhen, you heartless wretch!" Consort De stared wide-eyed at Yinzhen, who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word, her eyes filled with anger and disappointment.

How could you treat my Uya clan so cruelly? They are your own grandfather and uncle! Have you lost your conscience? Don't you care about family ties at all?

Recalling the time when she gave birth to Yinzhen, Consort De was overjoyed, thinking that this child would bring her endless glory.

But now, his own family has also fallen to this state because of him...

Just as the Emperor began to reorganize the Imperial Household Department, Consort De had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

After all, she knew Kangxi's methods well, and the consequences would be unimaginable if she got involved.

So she racked her brains trying to find an opportunity to plead with the emperor and hope to get some leniency.

However, to her utter surprise, she was unable to even catch a glimpse of the Emperor until things spiraled out of control.

What's even more infuriating is that the person who personally led the search and seizure of the Uya family mansion was none other than the son right before our eyes—Yinzhen!

Your Majesty, this is absolutely devastating!

It was bad enough that the Emperor was so heartless and cruel, but his own son, Yinzhen, was just as heartless and cruel, showing absolutely no mercy.

Facing his maternal clan, Yinzhen showed no mercy and decisively took action to eradicate them completely, leaving no one a way out.

Yinzhen had a deep wound on his forehead, from which blood was flowing continuously. It was caused by the teacup that Consort De had smashed on him. However, he seemed not to notice it. He just stared at the ground beneath his feet with a blank expression, as if there were some rare treasures on it.

Faced with the rebuke and insults from Consort De—his biological mother—he showed no reaction whatsoever, remaining motionless like a statue.

However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that he was clenching his teeth, his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists, and they were trembling slightly.

Perhaps only in this way can the surging pain and anger deep within my heart be slightly relieved!

This emotion does not stem from physical pain, but rather from emotional trauma.

Yes, some mother-child bonds are simply inherently shallow, and no matter how hard one tries, they cannot be changed.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but lower his eyes, a bitter smile appearing on his lips. He secretly mocked himself: "Why should I be so attached to this shallow mother-son relationship?"

Seeing the person before her remain silent, Consort De's anger burned even more fiercely.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that this son was indeed raised by that person, just as hypocritical and ungrateful!

As a result, Consort De's gaze toward Yinzhen grew increasingly cold and piercing, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

At this moment, where is the slightest bit of intimacy that should exist between a mother and child? They seem more like mortal enemies.

Just then, Yinzhen stepped into the room with hurried steps.

At first glance, the atmosphere inside the room was unusually tense and heavy, making it suffocating.

With his exceptional hearing, he had already heard Consort De's stern rebuke of his fourth brother long before he even stepped into the room.
