Elder Master Su’s expression was ugly when he shook his head and then said, " How can they be caught? They ran away the second brother’s arms were cut off. No one knows who they were and where will we find them."
When Su Yiqian heard that not only the people who cut off her second brother’s arms run off but they might not have any opportunity to find those people ever again, Su Yiqian felt like she had lost everything in just a night.
"It must be the Emperor! He was upset with our family because of what happened at the snow festival! He wanted to punish us because he lost his face," Su Yiqian cried with a heartbroken voice. Her hair had been messed up because of how many times she ran her fingers through her black locks, because of it she looked even more crazy. "I am sure that it was him! Now what are we supposed to do!"
" Yiqian!" Old Master Su stopped his daughter from speaking anymore. Was his majesty someone they could blame just because they wanted to? Even if he was the one behind this case they cannot put the hat of blame on his majesty’s head.
Su Yiqian swallowed grievances but she was not willing to stomach this grievance. Her second brother’s future was lost and it was because his majesty did not want to stomach a small thing.
She was his wife even if she fed him the aphrodisiac, Su Yiqian believed that she had the right to sleep with the Emperor. What was wrong with what she had done? How could he take his revenge on her second brother?
She turned to look at her father and then hissed, " It must be his majesty. He must have done this to warn our family, Father. He must be worried that if the child in my belly is a son, our family would get stronger which is why he caused the second brother to lose his arms."
Although Su Yiqian was angry, she did not lose her mind. She did not mention a thing about Su Wan and her husbands because she did not want Old Master Su to trace this matter back to the death of his daughter. If Su Bai found out the truth then so could Old Master Su.
" You should relax yourself a bit majesty," Eunuch Xi showered the Emperor with praises not bringing up the matter that was going on in his head, however, the Emperor had been with Eunuch Xi for a long time when he saw that something was weighing on Eunuch Xi’s head, he could not help but ask,
" Whats the matter, Eunuch Xi? Is something bothering you?"
Eunuch Xi shook his head however when he shook his head in denial, the Emperor narrowed his eyes and then stated, " Eunuch Xi do not deceive the son of the heavens tell me what is going on?"
As he spoke, he reached out his hand and then picked up the cup of water and then brought it to his lips. The Emperor took a sip of water when he heard Eunuch Xi speak,
" I am afraid that tomorrow my virtue will be at stake, Your Majesty."
" COUGH!"
The Emperor choked on the sip of water that he had taken, he turned to look at Eunuch Xi who was helping him. However he did not care about it at all, he looked at Eunuch Xi in shock and then asked with a wave of his hand, " What do you mean by that? Who is going to...to harm your virtue?"
The Emperor was shocked after hearing Eunuch Xi’s words, was he listening properly? Or did he mishear something?
Eunuch Xi looked at the Emperor before sighing and then whispered, "It’s nothing, your majesty. Because it was a matter of great embarrassment I never told you anything but ... ever since I turned into a eunuch Lord Su had been trying to get close to me. At first, I did not understand what was going on but then ... someone told me that he is interested in men like...me."
The Emperor: "..." Wait. Hold on. This is too much even for me.
