"Eighth Brother, what do you mean by this?"
He appeared perplexed, glanced at Yin Lvqing, then lifted his head to look at Emperor Ziyan.
"Father Emperor, I would never dare to commit such a treasonous act. If Father Emperor harbors any suspicions, you can certainly send someone to investigate the matter. My conscience is clear, and I absolutely refuse to acknowledge Eighth Brother's false accusations."
He declared this with an air of righteousness.
"You need not say these things; I believe you," Emperor Ziyan assured Prince Niu.
Then, his displeased gaze swept toward Yin Lvqing, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Lvqing, I truly intended to give you an opportunity to mend your ways, but unexpectedly, you… Alas, you have deeply disappointed me," he said, shaking his head at Yin Lvqing.
Yin Lvqing: "..."
So, after having knelt here for such a long time, and having waited for Prince Niu to arrive, what was it all for?
