"You even contracted lung disease from the cold, coughed up blood, and fell into a coma..."
The Emperor said, his heart aching, but as he spoke, he suddenly felt a chill at the back of his head, and a terrifying aura was emanating from behind him.
As the Son of Heaven, the Emperor’s aura was so powerful that ordinary people could not hope to match it. The fact that it made him shiver indicated just how cold the other person’s aura was.
Gu Jiao also felt it; she turned her head and saw Xiao Hen, who had unknowingly arrived in the backyard, staring at her intensely.
He didn’t speak, but his eyes clearly said everything.
Being ruthlessly pursued, nearly dying under the Prince Consort’s arrow, the epidemic, almost freezing into an ice sculpture, and now with lung disease, coughing up blood, unconscious!
Two flames of rage flickered in the depths of Xiao Hen’s eyes, but the aura around him was icy to the extreme.
Gu Jiao heard a soft voice in her ear saying goodbye. She decided to make a final struggle: "I didn’t!"
The Emperor was completely unaware that he had caused Gu Jiao’s fall. He patted Gu Jiao’s small shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, stop denying it. I’ve read the military reports from the border pass, I understand you’re not one to seek attention. Rest assured, I won’t speak of it to anyone else."
Gu Jiao clenched her fists tighter. You’ve already told the very person you shouldn’t have!
Xiao Hen narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Heh, little liar!
And just then, the Emperor finally noticed Xiao Hen in the courtyard.
Xiao Hen, leaning on his cane, walked toward Gu Jiao with an icy expression.
He had come to confront Gu Jiao and seek justice.
The Emperor’s gaze fell on his limping leg and cane, and he asked curiously, "Eh? Didn’t Yu Yaya say that your leg had healed a long time ago? Why are you still using that?"
Yu Yaya from the Firewood Room covered her mouth with her hand.
She didn’t mean it!
She was speaking to the Empress Dowager!
It was His Majesty who overheard, not her fault!
The unexpected exposure caused Xiao Hen to stumble in his step, nearly falling over!
Now it was Gu Jiao’s turn to narrow her eyes and size up Xiao Hen with a dangerous look.
Hehe, and you called me a little liar. It seems we’re all in the same boat!
