"Tong Guoan, even you, you actually betrayed me!" The third prince widened his eyes and shouted unwillingly.

As the words fell, the Third Prince's body slowly fell backwards and fell heavily on the cold ground.

Tong Guoan finally relaxed a little after seeing this, but he still didn't dare to be careless. He raised his head carefully and secretly glanced at the expressionless Emperor Jiade who was sitting on the dragon throne, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Then, Tong Guoan knelt on the ground tremblingly, his whole body prostrated on the ground, not daring to breathe, quietly waiting for Emperor Jiade to decide his fate.

Emperor Jiade cast his eyes to the ground, and saw the bodies of the eldest and second princes lying in a pool of blood, which was a horrible sight. Although he was the king of a country and had long been accustomed to seeing life and death, the scene of his own sons and brothers killing each other still made him feel nervous, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Frowning slightly, Emperor Jiade couldn't bear to look at the bloody scene any longer, so he turned his head and set his sights on one of the instigators of this court struggle.

For a moment, the Qinzheng Hall fell into a deathly silence. Time seemed to have frozen, and every second seemed so long. Beads of sweat kept rolling down Tong Guoan's forehead. After a while, his inner clothes were completely soaked with cold sweat.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Jiade snorted coldly, breaking the silence: "Come here, bring them all away to me!"

After saying this, the Guardian Emperor stretched out his right hand and habitually flicked the string of Hetian jade beads in his hand twice. After giving the order, the Guardian Emperor did not stay for long, but waved his sleeves and turned to leave the Qinzheng Hall.

Two soldiers as ferocious as wolves and tigers moved at the sound and quickly stepped forward to lift up Tong Guoan who was kneeling on the ground.

Although Tong Guoan was physically restrained at this time, his fiery eyes were always fixed on Li Shiliu's bulging belly, revealing an indescribable complex emotion. In this way, Tong Guoan was dragged farther and farther away until he disappeared outside the Qinzheng Hall.

"Girl Li, come over here quickly." Emperor Jiade waved to Li Shiliu who was standing beside him, indicating that she should follow him.

A cup of tea passed quickly, and Emperor Jiade, Li Shiliu, and Nanyang Yao finally arrived at the emperor's solemn and dignified Shangshufang. After entering the room, they saw a clever eunuch who had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the three people coming, he hurriedly stepped forward respectfully and carefully placed the freshly brewed hot tea on the table.

Emperor Jiade walked to the table with big strides, picked up the teacup without saying a word, and drank a big mouthful of boiling hot tea. Perhaps he was extremely thirsty or extremely anxious, he completely ignored the heat of the tea, and heard a few "gulps", and the tea in the cup was instantly empty. After drinking it, he let out a long sigh, as if this mouthful of hot tea could relieve the anxiety and fatigue deep in his heart.

Putting down the teacup, Emperor Jiade gently rubbed his forehead with his hand. His originally majestic face was now full of fatigue, and even the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, revealing a trace of barely perceptible sadness. He slowly stretched out his right hand and gently pinched his brow, as if this could slightly relieve the boredom in his heart.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Jiade raised his head, his eyes fell directly on Li Shiliu, and asked anxiously: "Little girl Li, I want to ask you, is the eldest princess okay? What is the situation in Yuanjing City now?"
