At this point, even if Chu Yi didn't believe it, Xiao Ling knew that he could only follow his own script.
She began to half-heartedly say, "I don't expect you, a dog official, to believe me. If I fail to assassinate her, I'll die anyway. The worst that can happen is I'll just leave. Then the dog emperor won't be able to find me."
This means that Xiao Ling really wants to leave.
But it was Chu Yi who stretched out his hand and blocked her way.
"This is my Chu Yi's territory. You can come and go as you please? Do you think this is a teahouse?"
"But I'm not unconvinced about your story. After all, I don't believe the young emperor suddenly had such a clever idea. Perhaps you... can prove your innocence."
The final change of subject made Xiao Ling stunned again.
"How...can I prove it?"
Chu Yi smiled as he looked at Xiao Ling's face. "You'll understand even if I don't tell you."
Xiao Ling: “?”
What the hell does she know...wait—
It seemed to be due to a woman's instinctive vigilance. Seeing Chu Yi's malicious eyes, Xiao Ling couldn't help swallowing.
This bastard, could he have that kind of thought about himself?
You should know that the magic mirror has actually mentioned Chu Yi's weakness. Not only is he lustful, but he also has extremely high standards.
And her appearance is enough to make Chu Yi moved.
Xiao Ling suddenly felt unsure whether coming to the Wolf Cave this time was a good idea.
At first, she believed that with Chu Yi's character and shrewdness, he would definitely not have anything to do with a woman like her who had an unknown origin and was related to the emperor.
After all, if Chu Yi was really so hungry that he had no choice but to eat anything, he would not have been unmarried until now.
She didn't take a queen because she was a woman, but Chu Yi had no reason at all.
But after all, men's minds are fickle. When Xiao Ling realized the crisis, he was a little panicked and at a loss for what to do.
"Bah, you dog official!"
After all, due to his status, Xiao Ling couldn't really be willing to be humble.
She immediately became angry when she knew Chu Yi's evil intentions.
After cursing, Xiao Ling was about to leave.
This Chen Tang, she really can't be a good person at all.
But Chu Yi would not let her leave easily. He moved his body and stood in front of Xiao Ling again.
Then a pair of hands grabbed Xiao Ling's shoulders mercilessly.
With a little force, he grabbed her neck tightly.
"Want to run?"
"The little emperor wants to use you against me. Didn't he tell you that I have a terrible temper? People in the world treat me like the King of Hell when they see me?"
"Didn't the little emperor remind you that he, the Son of Heaven, the supreme ruler, was often forced to the point of being helpless by me, and could only vent his inner frustration by smashing vases?"
"That's really funny. We've only met once, and you really think you can manipulate me at will?"
"Let me guess, your catching me bathing today was actually a play directed and performed by the little emperor himself, right?"
Xiao Ling was really frightened this time. The feeling of suffocation made her feel so helpless for the first time.
Those beautiful pupils had shrunk to the extreme because of fear.
It's not just Chu Yi who has no mercy on her.
It was because Chu Yi directly told him that Rong Hanchi’s matter was related to him.
Although the cause of the incident is different from what Chu Yi said, there is no difference in essence.
What on earth did this traitor Chu Yi go through, and how did he become so vigilant?
She thought her plan was almost perfect, but Chu Yi guessed it easily.
It can only be said that Chu Yi never thought from the beginning to the end that he was the little emperor himself, which gave Xiao Ling some final comfort in his heart.
But obviously this little bit of comfort is insignificant at this point.
Xiao Ling's back was pressed tightly against the wall, and Chu Yi grabbed her neck without hesitation, as if she would suffocate to death in the next breath.
Chu Yi's eyes were cold, like the devil who came out of hell to take his life.
"Wuwu, I..."
Xiao Ling tried to push him away with a little strength. Facing the threat of death, she no longer had any concerns.
She wanted to reveal her identity directly, even though she estimated that even more terrible torture might be waiting for her, but compared to death, at least there was still a glimmer of hope.
But Xiao Ling couldn't utter a complete sentence because her neck was being strangled.
Seeing that she wanted to explain, Chu Yi looked at her with even more disdain.
"Is this true?"
"The truth cannot be false, and the false cannot be true either. Although I disdain to deal with weak women, I will not allow you to deceive me like a fool!"
After all, he had no intention of killing Xiao Ling at this time, so he finally chose to let go.
Xiao Ling coughed violently a few times. Looking at Chu Yi in front of her, she was already showing fear, as if she had escaped from death.
She was really scared. Although Chu Yi had disobeyed her many times in the past, because they were a monarch and a minister, Chu Yi did not dare to commit such a treason.
But it’s different now. She has just realized that Chu Yi really wants to kill her.
Noticing Chu Yi's indifferent face and thinking of the grievances she had suffered, Xiao Ling's eyes turned red.
Then, tears began to fall like beads from a broken string.
The emperor was actually scared to tears.
Obviously aware of this sudden situation, Chu Yi's face froze slightly.
Is this the mentality that the little emperor has when he sends people to be by his side?
This is just the beginning, but he was so scared that he started crying. Isn’t this a bit too unreliable?
Chu Yi was very puzzled, and faced with Xiao Ling's attitude, he was a little at a loss for a moment.
Although he was cruel, he still couldn't bring himself to kill women, especially those who looked like they had just reached the age of 15.
To put it bluntly, the appearance of "Chen Tang" in front of us is really eye-catching. Good looks are already a plus, not to mention that Chen Tang is not just good-looking.
She is a top-notch beauty.
At this time, Xiao Ling squatted on the ground with red eyes and covered her face.
Tears dripping from her rosy cheeks make it hard for people to do anything inappropriate. Her starry eyes are filled with sadness and even a bit of timidity.
Anyone who sees someone like this will feel heartbroken and will also feel an inexplicable desire.
“Ahem!”
"In my opinion, even if your intentions were exposed by me, even if the little emperor punished you, you wouldn't cry here, right?"
Chu Yi still had a stern face, but his tone was much softer.
Although he had confirmed that Chen Tang was the spy sent by the young emperor, she was still a young woman after all, and her crying and making a fuss really left him speechless.
