"Greetings, Your Majesty." Jian Yi spoke, but his expression was blank as he revealed a black and gold token.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me. Su An is a retainer of my prince. The prince ordered her to supervise the road construction in Fuyou County. She cannot leave this place until the task is completed. I beg Your Majesty’s understanding.”

"Insolence!" Chu Yi's eyes flashed with a fierce rage at the mention of Fu Zhun.

Even though that cripple is gone, they still want to control him. It's truly hateful!

"Taking Su An away is my order. Even if the Imperial Uncle were here, he would not disobey. You have committed insubordination and deserve to be executed!"

Chu Yi roared, his cold gaze sweeping over the guard beside him, "Dispose of this traitor immediately! Consider it an act of cleaning house for my uncle!"

Upon hearing this, the guards from both teams immediately became dangerous, and Jian Yi quickly gripped the sword at his waist, ready to strike.

The people, unaware of what was happening, panicked upon hearing the words "traitor" and fled in terror.

Lin Yong gritted his teeth and immediately ordered the yamen runners to protect the people as they left, subtly siding with Su An.

Just as the atmosphere was thick with tension, Su An closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and shouted, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Do you really intend to turn against the Prince?"

"Your Highness values ​​me and my men exceptionally highly. Are you really prepared to take them all down in one fell swoop?!"

Su An didn't know if this was true or not, but he guessed that since the emperor waited until Fu Zhun left before appearing, he must have some reservations.

Try anything, even if it seems hopeless.

The shout struck Chu Yi's mind like a bell, making his breathing heavy for a moment and his face darken even more.

"stop!"

With no one around, Chu Yi, his face dark, gave a cold shout and summoned the guards back.

Thinking about it carefully, he almost lost his mind in anger again, but thankfully no one saw it!

Chu Yi's fiery and fierce gaze fell back on Su An: "Fine, I'll spare you this time for your sake."

"However, things have come to a sudden end, so I have decided to settle here first and then make further considerations. I will stay at your home for the time being!"
