The emperor seemed unwilling to look at the two of them any longer, and his gaze continued to move, falling not far from where he stood on the torn fawn-colored robes.

The palace craftsman had spent years to weave a Sky Silk Cloud Gem. It was as thin as a cicada's wing and as colorful as a sunset. He had only given one to Ji Rong Hua to make one.

"Humph!" The only sound issued by the emperor was a sneer, piercing into Xiao Yi Bei's heart like a sharp icicle.

Xiao Yi Bei felt his teeth chattering as he kneeled down, "Royal Father … No... This is not the case. Your son can explain that this is just … "It's a misunderstanding …"

"Get out." The Emperor didn't even look at him and slightly raised his head.

Xiao Yijin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he meant for the rest of them to leave. After all, the untidy one inside was a concubine. He cast a meaningful glance at Gu Qingruo, but her gaze also turned cold. Seeing the eunuchs and maids who had rushed in first, she took the initiative to withdraw.

The rest of them also understood. They all silently retreated to the side room, and Gu Qingruo finally closed the door.

When Xiao Yijin looked towards Gu Qingruo, he saw a cold smile flash across her face.

"Servants, drag these servants away and make up your mind!" Xiao Yijin still had a smile on his face, but his gloomy eyes didn't have the slightest hesitation. His decisiveness was frightening.

The several eunuchs and maids who had just left were greatly shocked, and they opened their mouths to beg for forgiveness. However, regardless of whether they were kneeling or struggling, without exception, they were all blocked off by Xiao Yi Jin's words, "Block their mouths, and do not make any sound. Whoever hears their words will end up with the same result."

The smile in Gu Qingruo's eyes froze for a moment, then completely disappeared. What followed next was fear and trembling.

In the end, she only saw King Yan's smile spreading. She had never seen someone smile in such an evil and vicious manner … Even bloodthirsty.

The emperor slowly walked forward. The profound lance had already entered Xiao Yi Bei's eyes. He looked up with fear in his eyes. When he looked into the pair of extremely terrifying eyes, an extreme sense of disappointment, disgust, and anger ignited within them. There was also a little bit of killing intent.

"Father …" Xiao Yi Bei was so terrified that he lost his voice.

"Go out yourself, don't say anything, and don't try to explain anything in front of your mother."

Xiao Yi Bei's eyes were wide open. There was a hint of incomprehension within his fear and confusion.

"This is the only way for you to survive. "If today's matter were to spread to the court or the people, you would understand."

"royal father! Your son is innocent! "Your son really was set up by someone. When I saw someone wearing Du Ying's clothes enter this room earlier …" Feeling extremely terrified, Xiao Yi Bei suddenly regained a bit of his rationality. He looked around, and in that moment, his eyes widened in despair, unable to utter a single word.

This was only a side room for resting. It was not an open space, not even a bed, not even a wardrobe. In addition to the beauty bed, there were some luxurious decorations on the antique shelves, a long table, four treasures of the study, a zither in the corner, and a musical instrument on the wall. There were also several teapots and saucers, and the first censer of the bronze beast that was smoking.

He couldn't even find a place large enough to hide, and the closed doors at the front and back made the room so dark.

The emperor had obviously already swept through everything and only sneered at him: "Where's Du Ying? Could it be that you hid her on a pillar? "

Xiao Yi Bei instinctively looked up. Aside from the wooden beams that crossed the side room, there were no other signs of him being able to fly across the wall. He almost cried.

At this time, Ji Rong Hua seemed to have recovered his soul, as he rolled down from the beauty bed and knelt beside the emperor while hugging his leg, "Your majesty, you have to avenge your concubine. Your concubine was drugged and confused, then … "Then somehow, it became like this …"

"Scram!" The emperor seemed to still have one last bit of kinship with his son, but he wasn't as forgiving towards his concubine. He raised his foot with a look of disdain and kicked at her heart, not wanting to look at how pale and distorted her beautiful face was.

"Slut!" In his heart, no matter how shameless his son was, he wouldn't take the initiative to seduce the imperial concubine. He was sure that this shameless woman had taken the initiative to seduce him.

At this moment, the Emperor was furious. He wanted to hang her immediately.

"Father …" Xiao Yijin called out softly from outside.

The emperor didn't want to look at the two anymore, so he flicked his sleeves and left without looking back. He then said coldly, "Bei'er, choose a dead end and a path to survive."

Xiao Yijin saw the door open with a creak. The emperor walked out first, his ashen face maintaining a trace of dignity. The bloodlust in his eyes clearly proclaimed his killing intent.

Xiao Yi Bei followed behind, scared out of his wits. His eyes were wide open and looked as if they were about to fall at any moment.

With a pale face, Ji Rong Hua struggled to get up. He wanted to crawl out and explain to the Emperor, but Xiao Yi Jin closed the door quickly and shut her crying voice.

Gu Qingruo also returned the soul. She forced herself to calm down and said with a trembling voice, "Your majesty …" Gone. "Go and dismiss the rest of the women in the other rooms …" She looked around in panic, but fortunately, every room was empty. The singing was so wonderful that no one seemed tired of watching and wanted to rest.

"Father, inside... "What should we do?" Xiao Yijin lowered his voice to an extremely low pitch.

Although Ji Ronghua was quite favored after entering the palace, Xiao Yijin clearly understood the Emperor's intentions.

The king looked around coldly and found that there was no one around. He said in a deep voice, "Why is there no one in this yard?"

Xiao Yi Jin said respectfully, "Those servants did not serve you well. I have dealt with them. No one will ever speak up again."

The emperor nodded, as if he was very fond of his swift and decisive actions. He said coldly, "I shall leave the one inside to you to deal with. Clean it up."

"Yes."

Xiao Yi Bei suddenly shivered again. He shifted his dazed gaze to Xiao Yi Jin, and his eyes suddenly turned blood-red. He rushed forward as if he had gone mad, tightly grabbing onto Xiao Yi Jin's neck as he yelled, "It's you! You must have hurt me! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that you guys came when no one else came? "

He was caught off guard and almost lost his breath, but he immediately regained his senses. He grabbed onto Xiao Yi Bei's wrist, hooked him with his foot, and with a turn of his palm, he caught Xiao Yi Jin in a few rounds. He whispered in a gentle yet regretful tone, "Big Brother Crown Prince, I'm sorry, it was really just an accident."

Xiao Yijin's voice was so low that only Xiaoyi Bei could hear him. At the same time, he glanced towards Gu Qingruo, who was inspecting the rooms, and sighed inaudibly, "My mufei is not feeling well. The Third Queen's sister-in-law said she came to rest here. Imperial Father and I were worried, so we came to take a look …"

As if to confirm his words, Imperial Concubine Lan and two palace maids gracefully turned around at the end of a row of trees. They were all stunned as they looked doubtfully at Xiao Yijin.

"Your servant greets Your Majesty. This … "This is …"

The emperor tried his best to suppress his emotions and said in a calm tone, "It's fine. I heard that you suddenly became extremely unwell. Jin'er had me come over to take a look. I didn't expect that I would not see you."

"Oh." Imperial Concubine Lan was also a shrewd person, so she tactfully replied, "Chenqie was hot before and ate some cold food, so she …" "I had to go to the main room before I came over."
