As she waited to be thrown out, Su Yan saw clearly who had come and the purse that had flown out of her hand.

I realized it immediately.

His eyes narrowed.

Snap!

Akahoshi cleaved the purse in two at the waist with a single stroke.

Pat, pat.

Countless sugar cubes and jade beads were scattered all over the ground.

The scene immediately fell silent.

Until the guard pointed at Su Yan and shouted.

Who are you?!

Akahoshi knocked the man unconscious with a single hand strike.

He looked around at the patrolmen who had rushed over upon hearing the noise, as well as the other guards.

Akahoshi spoke

"Nothing else, you may leave."

Situ Xiu went inside.

Looking at the jade beads scattered all over the ground.

He raised an eyebrow, his dark eyes gleaming.

"Guard Song is quite capable."

Akahoshi followed him inside, closing the door to the Imperial Study behind him to block the view of the other guards.

Su Yan was undressing the fake empress.

So much so that he knelt on the dragon throne.

Situ Xiu arrived.

She reached out and covered the exposed skin of the fake empress.

Then he looked up and blinked.

I'm a little unsure what to do.

"I, I..."

Situ Xiu stared at her with his dark eyes.

"come over."

Su Yan hesitated.

He first glanced at the Empress, who had already fainted.

Make sure she doesn't wake up suddenly.

Only then did he stand up and step down from the dragon throne.

He walked obediently towards Situ Xiu.

Just as I was about to reach him.

He grabbed her and held her waist tightly with his hand.

A man with a sinister expression

"Aren't you going to explain to Guard Song?"

Su Yan blinked and said seriously

"I am Su Yan, not Song Su."

Situ Xiu raised an eyebrow.

"Where's the evidence?"

Su Yan tugged at her clothes.

Then, he pulled his right shoulder apart.

A birthmark was visible.

The birthmark was bluish-green and shaped like a crescent moon.

Every child of the royal family of the Heavenly Saint Kingdom is born with this birthmark.

Behind him, Akahoshi silently turned his head and looked to the side.

The news was too shocking; he needed time to process it.

Situ Xiu lowered his eyelids and stroked the birthmark with his fingers.

He smiled.

"Lady Empress?"

Su Yan nodded

"It's me."

Situ Xiu lowered his head and bit down on the birthmark.

Su Yan was in excruciating pain.

"What are you doing?"

Situ Xiu held her, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

"I want to take a bite to make sure this isn't a dream."

Su Yan's eyes were brimming with tears as she clutched her shoulder in pain.

However, she had important business to attend to.

She struggled free from Situ Xiu's embrace.

Given her strength, if she resists, how could Situ Xiu possibly hold her in his arms?

Situ Xiu, who originally had a lot of questions to ask, watched Su Yan walk away from his arms.

His face darkened for a moment.

Having great strength also has its downsides.

Su Yan prepared to go back and continue undressing the empress.

Situ Xiu raised his eyelids and took Su Yan's hand again.

They pulled the person back.

She looked at his unpredictable expression.

He reached out and silently covered his shoulder.

"I won't let you bite me again."

Situ Xiu's eyes were deep and mysterious.

"Where are the Buddhist prayer beads I gave you?"

Su Yan opened her mouth, looking at the Buddhist beads scattered on the ground, and her voice weakened.

"I accidentally threw it out."

Situ Xiu pinched her chin,

"You dislike what I gave you so much?"

Su Yan hadn't spoken yet.

Following that, Situ Xiu said another sentence

"You left the palace without a word, and now you've thrown away the pearl I gave you."

"The guard Song said he liked me, but now it seems it was just empty words."

As he spoke, Situ Xiu paused, then smiled and said...

"Oh, by the way, Guard Song's surname isn't Song."

The smile on his face slowly faded.

A mysterious expression

"You have taken advantage of me."
