Chapter 635 No One to Trust Now

Emperor Beili frowned even deeper. Old Eight seemed like a body with its soul hollowed out. He had no fear or awe in his heart.

Such people are difficult to tame.

"Your Majesty, do you really not care about the friendship we have had over the years and want to exile me?" Seeing that everyone had left, Concubine Yuan asked in a questioning tone.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Beili retracted his gaze and said, "If you hadn't done such a stupid thing, how could Old Eight have become like this?"

It was so easy to get, but her stupidity made it so difficult.

"Heh." Concubine Yuan sneered upon hearing this: "So these are really what you care about. I foolishly believed that you really loved me... It was all because of my stupidity..."

"You are the one who caused this situation today. I have indulged you in everything, and you have become so ignorant of your limits."

"You keep saying you love me, but I was just bewitched. I just killed a bastard of unknown origin, and yet you are so cruel as to expel my master from your sect." Concubine Yuan spoke each word with ruthlessness and disappointment in her eyes.

"You still don't realize your mistake. Now the whole Beili and even the other three countries know about the Sifang Mountain incident. If I don't punish you, the Beili royal family will become a laughing stock in the world. As the emperor of a country, I will never allow anyone to look down on the royal family." The Emperor of Beili felt a kind of anger as if he had let iron fail to live up to his expectations.

Concubine Yuan clenched her fingers and her lips trembled.

"When you arrive at the frontier, you'd better change your bad temper and cultivate your character, otherwise you will never be able to return to Kyoto." Seeing her like this, Emperor Beili changed his tone.

Concubine Yuan looked up in surprise.

"Stay here quietly. Someone from the Dali Temple will be here early tomorrow morning. Don't make any trouble. Otherwise, you will be the only one who suffers." Emperor Beili signaled the Jinyiwei to take the man back to the room.

The Imperial Guard stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, please."

Concubine Yuan's eyes moved slightly as she pondered the emperor's words. She turned around and walked back to her room with some hesitation.

"From now on, the four of you must stay by the prince's side and protect his safety at all times." Emperor Beili was very worried that Sang Zhi would attack the prince in the future.

"yes."

The four hidden guards saluted and then disappeared into the courtyard.

Concubine Yuan stood at the door and only felt a little more at ease about the prince after listening to the emperor's instructions. The fact that the emperor arranged his personal guard to be with Qi'er showed that the emperor still valued Qi'er very much.

There was something else behind what the emperor said just now...!

Sang Zhi took Du Yi for a long distance.

Du Yi stopped and said, "Eighth Prince, I want to leave the palace."

"Du Yi, are you willing to stay with me?" Sang Zhi turned around and asked.

"I am the eldest lady's bodyguard, and I will only be the eldest lady's bodyguard in this life." Du Yi said coldly.

"I don't want you to recognize me as your master. I don't trust anyone now. I only trust you." Ye Qianning's guard, he trusted, unconditionally.

Du Yi was silent.

"If you don't want to, I'll force you."

"I'll consider it. My mission now is to escort the young lady's body out of Beili."

"Why did Ye Qianning's body leave Beili?" Sang Zhi was surprised.

"Hasn't Eighth Prince heard? The Emperor has not allowed the eldest lady's body to be buried on Beili soil. Dean Chen and the Qian family have also been expelled from Beili nationality."

"When did it happen?"

"When I entered the palace, I heard officials talking about what happened at the morning court today." Du Yi heard the discussion and went to find the guards on duty to inquire about it, only then did he find out that it was true.

"I'll go with you to the General's Mansion."

She was already dead, yet she still had to suffer such torture.
