Song Feiwan stopped him, unable to contain her anger any longer. "Who is being so reckless? You trespassed into the Bixiao Palace, committing an offense against authority and distorting the truth. Now that the truth is laid bare before you, you still refuse to repent and continue to make a scene! Guards, seize her!"
Li Fei was taken aback. "Princess Chen, how dare you! I am the Emperor's consort!"
What did she have to fear? Xiao Yu strode out of the room, exuding an imposing presence as he stood before Song Feiwan. Behind him stood Rong Jiayi, impeccably dressed, his gaze as cold as a blade.
Xiao Yufeng cast a chilling glance around. "What? You all dare to disregard the command of this prince's consort?"
As soon as he spoke, several guards rushed in and pinned Li Fei and her entourage to the ground.
Li Fei cried out in desperation, "Get off me, you scoundrels!"
"Who dares to cause a commotion here?" A sharp, effeminate voice rang out from behind.
Everyone looked up in surprise; it was the Emperor's entourage!
The ethereal and graceful Concubine Rong held the Emperor's arm as they approached steadily. She and Xiao Yu shared a similar piercing gaze directed at Li Fei, devoid of any smile. With a feigned look of confusion, she asked, "Sister Li, what seems to be the problem?"
Suddenly, a palace maid named Fuqu rushed forward and knelt before them. "Your Majesty, Your Highness!" Tears streamed down her face as she spoke clearly and passionately about Li Fei's misdeeds.
At first, Li Fei tried to refute her claims, but the Emperor raised his hand in displeasure, silencing her with a guard's grip over her mouth.
As Fuqu continued her account, the Emperor's expression darkened with each word until it was stormy with fury.
"This is how it is: The princess consort and Lord Rong are innocent yet have been slandered; Prince Chen defended the princess consort but was mocked by Li Fei. Though I am but a servant, I cannot bear to see such noble figures wronged. I implore Your Majesty to take action!"
With that, she thudded her head against the ground.
Concubine Rong felt both anger and pity as she asked first, "Yu'er, Feiwan, Jiayi... Is what Fuqu said true?"
Song Feiwan replied firmly, "Indeed it is. If Lord Rong had not received permission from His Majesty and you, how could he have come to Bixiao Palace? Many witnessed me assisting Lord Rong with his stitches; there was nothing inappropriate about it. You two trust our innocence while others do not."
Her icy gaze pierced through Li Fei. "I truly want to see if your heart is rotten."
Rong Jiayi did not speak but bowed deeply towards the Emperor to show his innocence.
In truth, he had not informed the Emperor that he came seeking Song Feiwan; he merely said he needed her help. Now that she had put herself on the line for him, he felt deeply moved and could not calm his emotions for a long time.
Xiao Yu stood between the two of them, handsome as a fine jade, his expression calm, yet his deep-set eyes gathered a storm of dark fury.
What’s this? Wasn’t there enough laughter just moments ago? Now they are united against him?
They stood on the same boat, making him feel like an outsider.
He was very displeased—extremely displeased.
Hostility towards Rong Jiayi swelled within him, threatening to overwhelm his rationality like a relentless tide.
This feeling was unprecedented.
Whenever he felt this way, someone was bound to suffer.
Finally, he took two steps forward, his tall and upright figure blocking the delicate Song Feiwan.
His blatant protective stance caused Rong Jiayi's pupils to dim involuntarily.
They were a legitimate couple; he had no right to interfere.
Xiao Yu looked at the Emperor, his magnetic voice carrying a hint of melancholy.
"Father, perhaps I should not have come from Beirong. If I hadn’t come, the Princess Consort would not have stayed in the palace and suffered such humiliation. It is my fault; please punish me, Father."
This tactic of retreating to advance made Concubine Rong's eyes suddenly redden as she glared at Li Fei with a murderous intent.
The Emperor was even more furious, his anger flaring as he pointed a finger...
