After Helian Chengyan finished dealing with matters in the palace, it was already deep into the night. He hurriedly returned to the castle, only to become irate upon finding that Chi Xingye wasn't in the bed.
He assumed that Chi Xingye had brazenly escaped from his castle yet again!
At this late hour, the entire castle was brightly lit, causing restlessness.
All the servants and guards stood trembling in the vast hall, bearing the brunt of the emperor's wrath.
Helian Chengyan's face turned ashen with rage and his temples pulsed, "With so many of you, you still couldn't keep track of one person! Was my previous corporal punishment too lenient?!"
"Your Highness, please spare us!" All the people present pleaded in extreme terror.
They were still young; they didn't want to die!
Whimpering sounds filled the air.
My goodness, Miss Chi, how on earth did you manage to escape from this secure castle?!
