As the emperor looked at Xie Yan, he started to feel sympathetic.
"Okay, I'll listen to you this time," the emperor said. He then ordered the eunuch, "Let them go."
"Yes, your majesty," the eunuch answered and left the room.
"Yanyan, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Don't force yourself."
"I know. Thank you very much, Father."
"You can leave as well. Until Yanyan recovers, you and your family can stay at the Third Prince's residence. If anyone happens to Yanyan, I will hold you responsible."
"Yes, your majesty."
Zhao Chuchu lowered her head and answered, then left Xie Yan's room as well.
The emperor looked toward Xie Yan and asked, "Yanyan, are you suspecting anyone?"
"I'm not sure," Xie Yan said. "Father, please send people and investigate this thoroughly. We have to find the culprit behind all of this. This time, it was me. Next time, it could be you, Father."
