He was rendered speechless.
In the past, he could still deceive himself, but with this scene before him, how could he avoid it any longer?
The favoritism he has shown towards Prince Wei over the years... it was indeed excessive and significant!
This was an undeniable fact, beyond dispute.
Li Chengqian's lips curved into a bitter arc, slowly shaking his head.
The colossal burden long pressed upon his heart thunderously lifted, bringing an unprecedented relief; those words deeply buried, tormented day and night, today... finally could be spoken.
"Between you and me as father and son, between me and Prince Wei as brothers."
"To have reached this day..."
"Is it my fault? Or is it Prince Wei's fault?"
"Or perhaps... is it you, Father, who is truly at fault?!"
He stared directly at the throne, hurling this final question.
Having spoken, he hesitated no longer, nor performed any further courtesies; Li Chengqian decisively turned around, limping toward the hall's door.
