"I don't understand what the Imperial Uncle is saying." Qiao Qiao still had an innocent look on his face. Even if Xiyue's identity was exposed, shouldn't Yan Mo Chen have a complacent expression? Why would there be an expression of grief and indignation?

"You are, investigating This King?" Yan Mo Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Qiao Qiao with fury in his phoenix eyes.

"Why does Imperial Uncle say that?" Joe still frowned.

"Why do you want to investigate the case of the Yan Clan? Didn't the Supreme Emperor order the entire Qiao Nation to prohibit discussing about this matter?" Yan Mo Chen squinted his eyes as a dangerous look appeared on his face.

Qiao Qiao was still surprised. Could it be that the news of her order Qingwu to investigate the Yan Clan case was leaked out?

"Right now, everyone in Qiao is discussing this matter. They are saying that this king's family was harmed by the Demon Palace, and this king is disregarding his family's grudges to roam the inner and outer halls of the imperial court. Could this be what the emperor wishes to see?" Yan Mo Chen slowly stood up and stood in front of Qiao Qiao full of anger. This woman had investigated his background and had even revealed it to the public, it was clear that she wanted to drag him into an act of injustice.

"No, not me." No one would leak out any information. Could it be that when Qingwu returned to the palace that day to report this matter to her, someone had heard about it, and then spread it? If that was the case, then that person had provoked Yan Mo Chen and her, causing the two of them to suspect each other, what kind of scheme would he have?

"If it wasn't you, then who was it?" Even though he was asking, Yan Mo Chen's face was pale and veins were exposed on his forehead. He was definitely not trying to prove that Qiao Qiao was the same as before. He pursed his lips.

"I do not dare to be someone who does not dare to be worthy of my title. I will naturally acknowledge what I have done!" Qiao Qiao said in a stern voice, but her eyes were filled with worry. Of course, she understood that Yan Mo Chen was a shadow over the Yan family case.

Yan Mo Chen clenched his fists tightly. He was usually calm and collected, but if he were to encounter the incident with the Yan Clan back then, he would inevitably reveal his emotions.

"Yan Yan …" Qiao once again let out a soft cry. He slowly walked forward and extended his hand to touch Yan Mo Chen's sleeve.

Yan Mo Chen's body stiffened. He lowered his head and looked at Qiao Qiao's slender hands that were still caressing his sleeves. At that moment, there was a hint of warmth in his heart.

"Yan Yan, I am well aware of the shock that the annihilation of the Yan Clan has caused in your heart. I can understand that you are not calm, but if you carefully think about it, this matter was not done by us, it was done intentionally by someone. His goal is to let the two of us suspect each other. It didn't matter if she was friends with Yan Mo Chen or enemy. Since she let him see the danger in the Qing Dynasty, it would be good if the two of them could put aside all distractions and go out on the outside.

Yan Mo Chen's eyes became serious and he turned to look at Qiao Qiao. Although he was furious, Qiao Qiao's words were not unreasonable.

"Seems like you've taken it to heart." Joe continued to smile slowly.

"This King understands the emperor's beauty." Yan Mo Chen's brows furrowed, he raised his hand to slowly remove the hand that was still on Qiao Qiao's sleeve, and took a few steps back, seeming to be very polite.

"What does Your Highness mean?" Joe's eyebrows remained raised, his fingers stiff in the air.

"The Emperor is only doing his duty." Yan Mo Chen's angry face turned cold again, "I shall take my leave." With that, he turned around and left.

"You!" Qiao Qiao was still looking at Yan Mo Chen's back as he left with an arrogant expression. He was clearly not going to speak with her to the outside world, and wanted to say something that was entirely within his responsibility … She sneered. Did he not know that everything in the world was Qiao Qiao's responsibility!
