Zhou Tingyue is naturally gentle, speaks cautiously, and acts with composure. He always appears calm and collected.
The reason for summoning Xiao Heye today was simply to persuade him to let Zhou Ziqi go.
If Xiao Heye were to agree, that would naturally be a good thing. However, if he insists on going down this dark path, Zhou Tingyue, as the emperor, would naturally have ways to protect Zhou Ziqi.
"Xiao Qing, since we've come this far, let's be frank. You can't touch the person I've decided to protect."
Zhou Tingyue's gaze was firm, and his words carried the imposing aura of an emperor.
Xiao Heye smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty is already well aware of this matter, why doesn't you try to persuade the person behind our family?"
"Logically speaking, you and she should be working together..."
Zhou Tingyue's fingers tightened on the dragon throne. His voice was calm, but his expression was extremely ugly: "I think differently from her. Xiao Qing is a smart person. At this time, you must not misjudge and choose the wrong side."
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty. If there is nothing else... I will take my leave now."
Zhou Tingyue didn't say anything, but just silently waved his hand at him.
He was allowed to leave.
Xiao Heye lowered his head slightly, took two steps back, and as he approached the door, he slowly raised his head to glance at Zhou Tingyue, who sat upright on the dragon throne, and...
The partition on the left is blocked by a curtain and a screen.
Su Tiyue is here.
Xiao Heye had always known this.
From the moment he entered the room and faintly smelled the jasmine fragrance, Xiao Heye knew she was there.
Xiao Heye was very familiar with her scent. Even if it was very faint, he could clearly smell that unusual fragrance in the places Su Tiyue had walked and the spaces she had stayed in.
He walked slowly out of the main hall, his expression cold and his eyes dark.
Zhou Tingyue seemed to be deliberately letting Xiao Heye expose his ruthless and vicious side so that Su Tiyue could see it clearly.
See clearly that Xiao Heye is an utterly wicked demon, a scoundrel who wouldn't even spare a newborn child.
However, Zhou Tingyue did not expect that Xiao Heye, knowing that Su Tiyue was right next door, still spoke his mind without missing a single word.
Tsk, what's there to lie about?
Xiao Heye was never a good person; he was evil, terrifyingly evil...
But Su Tiyue has always known all this, hasn't she?
The more his little one knows, the less she dares to leave him.
Therefore, Xiao Heye simply decided to turn the tables on them today, since everyone in the world already knew that he was a traitor.
Anyway, Su Tiyue was completely under his control.
If she was really curious, Xiao Heye wouldn't mind letting her see his more wicked and evil side.
Xiao Heye curled the corners of his lips and strode forward.
He didn't return to Yelan Pavilion, but instead left the palace again.
...
Inside the hall, the three sat around a low table.
After a moment, Zhou Lin broke the silence: "I wonder what Your Highness was thinking after hearing what Master Xiao said?"
Zhou Lin looked up at Su Tiyue, stunned: "This was my suggestion to the Emperor. The relationship between Consort Shu and Minister Xiao seems to be unusual..."
"So?" Su Tiyue picked up her teacup, took a small sip of tea, and said calmly:
"The Emperor and the Prince of Huainan's purpose is to let me see what kind of person he is... and then whether they want to take the opportunity to win me over, or to use me?"
Zhou Tingyue frowned and explained, "It's neither about winning him over nor about using him. I just hope that you will distance yourself from him in the future. He is far too dangerous, so please stay away from him."
"Okay... I understand."
Su Tiyue nodded helplessly, then got up and left.
