"I am......"
"Send the Empress back to the Lizheng Hall. Without my permission, she is not to step out even a step," Gu Qimu said loudly, his tone revealing his anger.
Upon hearing Gu Qimu's words, Shen Ye's heart leaped into his throat, fearing that he would tear Gu Qichen apart.
"Gu Qimu, we..."
"Shut up!" Gu Qimu shouted, giving Shen Ye no chance to explain.
He had indeed misunderstood.
This was the first time Gu Qimu had yelled at Shen Ye, scaring Shen Ye so much that he couldn't speak. Hot tears welled up in his eyes, threatening to spill over at any moment...
"Your Majesty, please, don't put me in a difficult position," the guard said with a troubled expression, not wanting to offend anyone.
Shen Ye bit her lip, glanced at Yu Niannian who was holding Gu Qimu's arm, and then turned and left.
After Shen Ye left, Gu Qichen finally spoke, "What? You don't even give your sister-in-law this much trust?"
"It's not that I don't trust the Empress, it's that I don't trust you," Gu Qimu said coldly, his expression chilling and terrifying.
Possessiveness is a terrible thing; you can't even let your own brother touch you.
Gu Qichen narrowed his eyes, looked at Gu Qimu, sneered, and said slowly, "I am your own brother. For this woman, my elder brother not only gave me away, but also enfeoffed the princes in the capital. If the world knew that my elder brother was a romantic..."
"If it weren't for the fact that you are my younger brother, I would have already crushed you to dust. I can let today's matter go, but please stay away from my Empress. This is the third time. If there is a next time, not even your own brother, let alone the Heavenly King himself, can help you."
Gu Qimu's eyes were bloodshot, his fists were bulging with veins, and his bones were cracking. This damned Gu Qichen not only had the audacity to hit him, but also had the audacity to provoke him. This was intolerable.
However, Gu Qichen is Gu Qimu's younger brother after all. If that day really comes, Gu Qimu probably won't be able to grind him to dust.
Gu Qichen looked at Gu Qimu and sneered again, "Then this subject will respectfully see Your Majesty off."
The blatant order to leave infuriated Gu Qimu to the point of wanting to explode, but he couldn't retaliate.
He once wondered why his mother had given birth to such an annoying younger brother to spite him.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Gu Qimu sat on the dragon throne, with a majestic adult lion crouching at his feet. He stroked the lion's glossy fur with his hand, his expression even colder than before.
"Have you found out who did it?" he said, but he never looked up at the people below the hall, his gaze remaining fixed on the lion.
"No, even the guards on duty said that the Empress sneaked into Chengyang Palace alone, and they didn't see anyone else besides Her Majesty the Empress." Zhang Da, the head of the guards, said with some difficulty.
"So that means that the Empress took advantage of Prince Chen's summons back to the palace during the Emperor's birthday celebration to sneak into Chengyang Palace for a secret rendezvous with him?" Gu Qimu said coldly, still in the same posture, as if he had a feeling of wanting to kill someone.
"Your subordinate knows his mistake." Zhang Da knelt in the center of the hall, his head bowed low, large beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Wrong?" Gu Qimu suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with a barely perceptible killing intent.
"Her Majesty was unwell and returned to Lizheng Hall to rest early, but someone else appeared at Chengyang Palace tonight."
Zhang Da hesitated, glancing timidly at Gu Qimu on the dragon throne.
