Mo Lingwei glared at him. "Besides you, who else would have known the schedule for my tour today? Who else could have so precisely controlled the time of my arrival?"
The Emperor was stunned. "I... I did know, but you can't suspect your own father over this! I already regret splitting you and Ningning up. I couldn't be more eager for you two to reconcile, so why would I do something like this?"
"Nothing you say now is any use. You keep saying you regret it, but you never confessed to me that you threatened Shen Ningning. You hid off to the side, high and mighty, watching from afar as she and I both suffered. I don't understand it, and I refuse to accept it!"
Mo Lingwei suddenly ripped the Crown Prince waist card from his belt and threw it grimly to the floor.
"I'd rather not be the Crown Prince. You should find a nice, obedient son who will listen to you no matter what. I am not that person."
