Inside the inner palace.
Xue Ye was blindfolded, playing hide-and-seek with several attractive concubines.
Because he was so engrossed...
No one noticed that on a table not far away...
A masked figure was calmly pouring himself a cup of tea.
He watched the scene with great interest.
"Your Majesty certainly has high spirits."
Hearing an outsider's voice...
Xue Ye and the several concubines were all momentarily stunned.
They immediately realized something was wrong.
How could there be a second man's voice in the room?
Xue Ye hurriedly tore the cloth from his eyes.
"Xing Daorong?!"
"Guards! Someone come quickly!"
Having clearly seen who the visitor was...
He urgently shouted for the guards to come in.
Golden Crown smiled, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
He said indifferently, "Don't waste your energy. The surrounding guards have already been knocked unconscious by me."
"What?"
"Audacious Xing Daorong! Not only did you break into my inner palace in the middle of the night, but you even knocked out my guards!"
"Do you intend to commit assassination? To rebel?"
Upon hearing that the guards had all been knocked out...
Xue Ye felt a bit of trepidation in his heart.
Fearing that Golden Crown would kill him, he shouted rebukes.
He attempted to use his imperial aura to intimidate the other party.
But a long period of indulgence...
Had long since caused his imperial aura to dissipate.
It had been replaced by the aura of a cuckold (the green kind).
It carried no deterrent power at all.
Golden Crown laughed disdainfully. "Does Your Majesty think I was raised on threats?"
"Besides, if I really wanted to assassinate you, I wouldn't have needed to make a sound just now. Wouldn't it have been easier to just finish you off?"
"Why go through all this trouble?"
After hearing this, Xue Ye found it quite logical.
His legs, which had already gone half-soft, were infused with strength once more.
But he did not relax, instead continuing to question, "Then why did you break into the palace at night? What is your intent?"
Golden Crown glanced at Xue Ye and put his right hand into his pocket.
Little did he know, this movement terrified Xue Ye once again.
Thinking the other party was reaching for a gun...
He hurriedly pulled a concubine over to shield him and shouted, "What are you trying to do?"
Looking at Xue Ye, whose courage was as small as his narrow-mindedness...
Golden Crown sighed with emotion.
"I already said, I'm not here to kill you."
"I'm just here to ask you for an explanation."
Xue Ye was so afraid he didn't dare show his head, asking from behind the concubine, "What explanation do you want? I, the Emperor, have been good enough to your Xing Family. I gave money when asked and status when asked. Look at the entire Tiandou Empire—which family could obtain such honor?"
"But what about you? Not only do you not think of repaying me, you even dare to raid the palace at night! Are you worthy of my tolerance?"
Facing Xue Ye's rhetoric...
Golden Crown didn't give him any face at all, throwing several stapled sheets of paper onto the floor.
"Is that so?"
"Then how do you explain sending people to hijack my Xing Family's Munitions, killing my Xing Family's people, and afterwards having Xue Qinghe take the Munitions to try and frame Spirit Hall?"
"Do you think our Xing Family are all fools?"
Hearing this, Xue Ye's head buzzed, and he blurted out, "How did you kno—"
But before he could finish...
He hurriedly covered his mouth.
Oh no! The cat's out of the bag!
But what puzzled him was that there were very few people who knew about this matter.
Where did this Xing Daorong find out from?
He glanced at the papers on the floor.
He patted the concubine, gesturing for her to pick them up.
He opened them to look.
It was as if he had been struck by lightning.
The whole person was instantly stunned into silence.
Good heavens!
