Fear of Bloodshed

It's him!

Ji Beichen's heart was pounding in his throat. He knew the Emperor the best. He didn't believe in anyone and held all the power firmly in his hands and made even his sons wary. Whoever she mentioned would be the one to suffer.

He hoped she would mention the Second Prince and the Third Prince, but not him.

"His Majesty asked me to consult the celestial maiden, and the celestial maiden's guidance is known only to His Majesty. I don't know either." Gu Shiyan tightly pursed her lips, looking as if she had done something wrong. Her eyes were moist as she looked at Ji Beichen, filled with guilt.

Ji Beichen didn't believe in such things as the celestial maiden entering dreams. He didn't expect the Emperor to be so absurd.

"Fifth Miss Gu, do you really not know? Or are you unwilling to tell me?" He feigned a look of sadness, appearing desolate.

And there he goes, pretending again.
