Yu Jingchen's face darkened, and Nan Zhiyun had not expected this outcome.

"Where is Yu Wan'er? Bring her here!" Yu Jingchen was furious.

"I just sent someone to invite her, she should be here soon." Xinglai reported, and sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Yu Wan'er was brought over.

Yu Jingchen's gaze toward Yu Wan'er was as sharp as a knife, and Yu Wan'er immediately knelt down.

"Father...Father Emperor," Yu Wan'er trembled all over.

"Yu Wan'er, how dare you!" Yu Jingchen roared, and Yu Wan'er immediately lay down on the ground, not daring to utter a word.

"Tell me yourself, or do I have to investigate?" Yu Jingchen questioned.

"Your subject... Your subject doesn't know what to say," Yu Wan'er pretended to be confused.

"How dare you! Are you still going to lie?" Yu Jingchen's eyes could kill.

"Your subject..." Yu Wan'er was still just a child, so naturally she was afraid, especially since the person she was facing was Yu Jingchen.

"Did you deliberately cut the ropes on the swing? And during the last spring hunt, did you deliberately bring the cat over there?" Yu Jingchen asked her.

"Your subject did not..." Yu Wan'er still refused to admit it.

"You still dare to argue? Do you want me to torture you? Or do I want the evidence presented to you?" Yu Jingchen's tone was unfriendly.

"Your...Your subject..." Yu Wan'er was too frightened to speak.

"I'll ask you one more time, will you tell me or not!" Yu Jingchen had lost his patience.

"Say... I'm sorry, Father, I know I was wrong... I will never dare to do it again." After all, she was just a child, and Yu Wan'er couldn't hide anything from him.

"Fine..." Upon hearing her admit it, Yu Jingchen's anger flared up instantly.

"Why did you do this?!" Yu Jingchen lost his temper.

"Your subject... Your subject did not intend to harm Her Majesty the Empress... Your subject loves Her Majesty the Empress, so your subject... Your subject was afraid that if Her Majesty the Empress had her own child, she would drive me away, so... I'm sorry, Father, Your Majesty the Empress, Your subject knows she was wrong, Your subject will never dare to do it again!" Yu Wan'er cried.

"How do you explain the hunting ground incident last time?" Yu Jingchen asked again.

“Last time it was Consort Jing. Consort Jing told me that Her Majesty the Empress was over there. She asked me to take the cat over. I didn’t know that such a thing would happen… I really didn’t know.” Yu Wan’er’s face was covered in tears, and she looked quite pitiful.

"I let you stay in the palace, but you want to harm my child..." Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Wan'er.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Empress..." Yu Wan'er knelt down and pleaded, "Your Majesty was just afraid that you would stop liking me after having your own baby. I really know I was wrong and I will never dare to do it again. Please, please forgive me this time, okay?" Yu Wan'er cried and begged.

Looking at Yu Wan'er at her feet, Nan Zhiyun felt a surge of anger and slapped her across the face, leaving Yu Wan'er stunned.

"Why? Why do you have the right?!" This incident caused Nan Zhiyun to vent her pent-up emotions from the past few days.

"Yun'er," Yu Jingchen was afraid that Nan Zhiyun's emotions would get out of control, so he quickly went to protect her.

"No... Your Majesty, this can't be done! Please help me! I will not forgive her. She will pay the price..." Nan Zhiyun could not accept anyone harming her child. This was her bottom line, absolutely unacceptable!
