The Empress became blue in the face upon hearing what Xie Yan said. She wanted to say something, but the emperor yelled again, “Get out of here and go back! Stop making a fool of yourself. I still suspect that you were the one who did it!”

The Empress was so scared that she kneeled on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, I swear I’ve never done something like this before. Someone is trying to frame me. Please, your Majesty, you have to seek justice for me…”

“Get her out of here. I don’t want to see her!” The emperor got very annoyed.

“Don’t let her step outside her palace, not a single step! Now scram!”

“Your Majesty…”

The Empress was dragged away as she shrieked and screamed in agony.

The emperor was furious. He summoned the Embroidered Uniform Guards and told them to investigate the matter.

Sikou Zhendong felt all his strength being zapped out of his body.

He had some conflicts with the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Could he still get out of this unscathed?

He didn’t see Xie Hengs lips curl up slightly.

Xie Heng decided to go along with Sikou Zhendongs scheme because he wanted the Embroidered Uniform Guard to take over.

That way, Sikou Zhendong would have no way of getting out of this alive.

In his previous life, Sikou Zhendong and the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards were arch-enemies. But Xie Yan rarely interfered with the affairs of the royal court before he knew about Xie Jun’s existence. This was because of his deteriorating health. Because the Empress came from the Sikou Clan, Sikou Zhendong was able to overpower the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, but the latter lost in the end.

But this time, Sikou Zhendong wouldn’t get the chance to do the same thing.

Now that the Embroidered Uniform guards had a chance, their leader wouldn’t let Sikou Zhendong walk out of this alive. No one was more expert than the Embroidered Uniform Guards when making up crimes and charges.

Of course, that didn’t mean that they used their powers to frame honest and upright people all the time. They simply took orders from the emperor.

Whoever the emperor wanted dead, the Embroidered Uniform Guards would make them die for the most logical and righteous reasons.

The leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and Sikou Zhendong—one of them had to die first.

Sikou Zhendong couldn’t even say anything to beg for forgiveness.

The emperor was absolutely furious.

When he was dragged out of the room, Sikou Zhendong looked at Xie Heng.

He ruined himself because he tried to destroy Xie Heng.

Was Xie Heng the one who did it?

Sikou Zhendong stared at Xie Hengs face, trying to spot something in his expression.

But Xie Heng looked calm and composed as usual. Sikou Zhendong couldn’t spot anything.

When Sikou Zhendong looked at Xie Heng, he even smiled at him, instantly infuriating Sikou Zhendong.

“It’s you, right?” Sikou Zhendong couldn’t help but ask, “You were the one who framed me, right?”

Xie Heng appeared to be confused. “What do you mean, duke? Is this a misunderstanding?”

“Why are you letting him talk? Drag him out!” The emperor didn’t want to hear the word “duke,” nor did he want to hear Sikou Zhendongs voice.

As the supreme ruler, he was cucked by this clown in public, not to mention that it happened at the Qionglin Banquet. So how could the emperor possibly be okay with this?

He nearly wanted to order the entire Sikou Clan to be executed.

A subordinate slept with the emperor’s woman… Even an ordinary man who had some pride and dignity wouldn’t be able to remain calm.

“Your Majesty, Xie Heng framed me. Your Majesty…”

“Block his mouth.’

“Yes.

Sikou Zhendong was dragged out of the room, but his muffled voice could still be heard.

A cold, fierce emotion flashed across Xie Hengs eyes.

Only then did the emperor ask Xie Heng and Xie Yan, “What is happening?”

Xie Yan said innocently, “Father, I don’t know what happened either. I just came out with Zizhao to take a breather. Then I heard someone say that something was happening here. That’s why I came over with the others. If I knew this was what was happening, I wouldn’t have…”

“Never mind, you can leave first.” The emperor couldn’t even stand his most beloved son talking about it. “You’re still quite frail; don’t run around like this. Don’t tell anyone else about this.”

“Yes, Father,” Xie Yan answered, then bowed and left the room. Xie Heng followed behind him. Xie Yan then told the other new advanced scholars not to tell anyone else about this..
