General Tian, ​​realizing he had been recognized, was no longer afraid. He simply ripped off the mask covering his face.

"Lord Han, how have you been? This general has certainly not betrayed the Heavenly Emperor. We are only here to arrest you, the traitor."

The Heavenly Emperor is still safe and sound in Yundu. You stole the Imperial Seal, hand it over immediately!

Xiao Shui's face darkened, and her hand trembled as she pointed at General Tian. "You're talking nonsense! I didn't! It was you... it was Eunuch Hai who wanted to harm the Heavenly Lord, that's why I took the Heavenly Lord away. The Heavenly Lord in Yundu is a fake!"

How could they! How could they do this!

How could someone be allowed to impersonate the Heavenly Emperor?

Zuo Caixuan and Lei Ling looked at Xiao Shui in shock, "You mean... Xiao Jiu is the Heavenly Lord?"

What's going on? The five great families have never had any dealings with the royal family. What's going on here?

First, the five major families ran into trouble, and now the Heavenly Emperor is also in trouble. Is someone trying to make them all perish together?

"What, don't you know? The reason you've been hunted down for so long is because this traitor stole the Imperial Seal."

General Tian would naturally not admit that it was the Heavenly Emperor, for to admit it would be tantamount to admitting that they had betrayed the Heavenly Emperor.

Lei Ling and Zuo Caixuan were stunned. Seeing their expressions, Xiao Shui quickly spoke up, "Don't listen to them. These traitors have attempted to assassinate the Heavenly Emperor, and now they're spouting nonsense and framing others."

Xiao Shui was so angry that he wanted to kill all of them; they were all traitors and rebels.

"Nonsense! The Heavenly Emperor is currently in Yundu preparing for the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration. How could he possibly be here?"

You are the traitorous minister!

"Eunuch Hai ordered us to arrest you and bring you to justice!"
