There was no warmth in Emperor Wu's eyes.

After a short while, they could hear the sound of fighting in the distance.

Gu Xingyuan went pale when he heard the noise.

"Gu Xingyuan, why are you shaking?" Emperor Wu asked in an unperturbed tone.

But his voice only made Gu Xingyuan more anxious.

"I… I'm not shaking…" Gu Xingyuan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

"That's a very brave thing to say for someone who's abetting a foreign spy," Emperor Wu said casually.

What?!

If old Mrs. Gu had been alive, she would have jumped to her feet.

Abetting an enemy spy?

That was a serious accusation!

It was a crime punishable by death and could incriminate one's entire clan!
