Chapter 381 - Can’t RetractChapter 381: Can’t Retract
He suppressed his pain and didn’t bother to wipe the blood on his face as he miserably begged. “Your Majesty, even though I don’t know who told you this, it must be fake! Previously, the Fourth Princess went missing with Si Meng, and he quickly passed away after a while. The Empress was very worried about the Fourth Princess’s safety, so she looked for me. I… I secretly sent someone to check the entire Imperial City, but I still couldn’t find her whereabouts…”
“Rong Zhen said all of this personally. Could it be that she was lying?”
Emperor Jiawen’s cold sentence immediately made Si Ye swallow his remaining words.
Si Ye had followed him for many years, so Emperor Jiawen did understand him quite a bit. If Si Ye really was involved in this incident, he wouldn’t give his current reaction.
Emperor Jiawen felt slightly better.
As the head of the four aristocratic families and the Si family head, Si Ye’s status held some weight. Unless absolutely necessary, Emperor Jiawen was also reluctant to touch him. If not, the entire Imperial City would suffer in the aftermath.
This was also the reason why he still chose to deal with the incident discreetly, even after so many things had happened.

“Si Ye, the Empress has already admitted that she killed Si Meng and sent Rong Zhen to Heptagon Alley and that she had planned to set the Chu family up. What else do you have to say about this?”
Facing Emperor Jiawen’s stern interrogation, Si Ye’s heart was in turmoil. He couldn’t help but look at the Empress by the side. “…Her Majesty, is what His Majesty said true?”
Si Ye was stunned. He almost instinctively asked, “Why?”
The Empress looked down as if she didn’t want to continue talking.
Emperor Jiawen scolded, “Why aren’t you saying anything now? You did all of that, yet you’re not willing to talk now? Tell Si Ye what good things you have done at Heptagon Alley!”
The Empress’s white and cracked lips moved. “…Your Majesty, I did all of this on my own, and it has nothing to do with my brother and the entire Si family. If we continue blowing this matter up, it will be increasingly troublesome… I hope you can give me a quick ending, so we can stop all of this.”
Emperor Jiawen chuckled. “You finally know that you’re in trouble? When you did this earlier, did you think that today would come? It’s not impossible if you want to end this now. You just have to clearly say if you prepared the copper vat for Rong Jin and what the reason for doing so was!”
The Empress bit her lips tightly.
Actually, Emperor Jiawen had already asked her this question countless times. However, she didn’t admit to it the whole time.
She knew clearer than anyone how much Emperor Jiawen hated that copper vat. So, once she admitted to it, Rong Jin would never be able to make a comeback.
Thinking of this, her heart was finally drowned by the loss of hope. The next moment, she suddenly tried to smash against the wall beside her.
Emperor Jiawen stood up in anger. “Stop her!”
When the Empress rushed over, Si Ye had already stood up and blocked her.
The Empress crashed into Si Ye’s arms.
“Jing’er! What are you doing?” Si Ye was frustrated and anxious as he directly called out the Empress’s name.
However, how could Si Ye bear to do it? “What exactly happened to you?”

Emperor Jiawen watched on coldly from the side. “Empress, do you think that I can’t do anything about you if you keep quiet?”
Then, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted, “Someone, serve her with ink and brush!”
Everything that was previously thrown onto the floor couldn’t be used anymore. However, the thing the Imperial Study didn’t lack the most was this.
Eunuch Min hurriedly entered from outside, silently went to the other side to take the new ink and brushes for Emperor Jiawen, and ground it, pretending as if he did not see the unkempt Si Ye and Empress on the floor.
Emperor Jiawen picked up the brush and nonchalantly glanced at the Empress. “I think you can’t continue to be the Empress. As for Rong Jin… With such a mother, what kind of son can you bring up? He’s incapable; I should’ve removed him a long time ago!”
The Empress suddenly realized that Emperor Jiawen wanted to remove the Crown Prince from his position in addition to removing her as the Empress.
Under her panic, she couldn’t help but scream, “Your Majesty, you can’t do this! Rong Jin has just gotten engaged to Situ Xingchen! If you remove him from his position as the Crown Prince now, how can you explain to Country Xing Luo?”
Emperor Jiawen hated himself for being so blind and letting this heartless mother-son duo lie to him for so long. “Okay! I want to see if Country Xing Luo will want to continue Situ Xingchen and Rong Jin’s marriage agreement after they know about this!”
…
Country Xing Luo.
Situ Xingchen returned to the palace at top speed and spoke up about everything that had happened.
However, Country Xing Luo’s Emperor Xiankang, Situ Yan, kept quiet for a long time before shaking his head. “Xingchen, you can’t retract this marriage agreement.”
