The Empress's heart skipped a beat. The matter is indeed exposed!
She was petrified as she tolerated the pain in her chest and begged pitifully. "Your Majesty, I don't have any other intentions for doing it! I just wanted to protect myself. All these years, there's only Si Meng…"
"How dare you argue?" Emperor Jiawen was infuriated, and his eyes seemed to have fire blazing in them.
The Empress was taken aback. Emperor Jiawen has never directed such a huge outburst toward me before.
Actually, she also knew that this incident had crossed Emperor Jiawen's bottom line. It did not matter if she had one or ten; the important thing was that Emperor Jiawen didn't know about Si Meng's presence.
This was akin to giving Emperor Jiawen and all the guards in the palace a resounding slap.
"Speak! Where's that traitor and Rong Zhen now?"
