Lady, I am not stupid.

Feeling the changes in Bai Li Hongzhuang's body, Emperor Beichen also noticed the fleeting panic and nervousness in her eyes.

At this moment, Bai Li Hongzhuang in his arms was like a small white rabbit, so adorable and... so easily picked up.

Emperor Beichen regained some of his composure. He knew that Bai Li Hongzhuang wasn't mentally prepared for his advances, and his actions had indeed caught her off guard.

He pulled Bai Li Hongzhuang into his embrace, feeling her trembling, and his heart ached even more.

"Wife, you are the most important person to me," Emperor Beichen's voice was low and almost like a whisper. "Never leave me."

Bai Li Hongzhuang leaned against Emperor Beichen's chest, feeling his concern in his words. She nodded slightly, "I won't leave you."

She didn't know why Emperor Beichen had such emotions, but she only wanted to reassure him.

Emperor Beichen held Bai Li Hongzhuang tightly, but his movements were exceptionally gentle. He had acted impulsively today, and Hongzhuang's injuries had not completely healed yet.

"Wife, were there assassins attacking you before?"

Emperor Beichen's gaze returned to calmness. The reason he lost control of his emotions was that he understood that Mo Yunjue's words were not wrong.

If he didn't handle the matter with Han Xili properly, he might truly lose Bai Li Hongzhuang.

When Bai Li Hongzhuang asked him this question before, he always believed that Han Xili wouldn't do such a thing. But if everything was true, he would have to take action.

Bai Li Hongzhuang pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "Yes."

Emperor Beichen already knew that she had no need to hide it anymore. In fact, she didn't know much about that assassin either.

Seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang's admission, Emperor Beichen's gaze darkened, and his expression turned cold.

"Wife, I never expected Xili to do such a thing."

His eyebrows furrowed together. It seemed that his little junior sister in his heart wasn't truly the same person as before. He had never paid attention to what Han Xili was hiding.

In the past, he had been practicing with Han Xili in the sect, and at that time, she didn't have such cunning.

During the three years he was away from Tiangang Sect, it seemed that Han Xili had undergone significant changes.

He shouldn't continue to see Han Xili with his previous perspective; he had been unwilling to believe it before, but now it seemed inevitable.

Seeing Emperor Beichen's unwavering belief that Han Xili was responsible, Bai Li Hongzhuang was also surprised. After all, Emperor Beichen didn't have this attitude before.

"How can you be sure it's Han Xili?"

Her pitch-black phoenix eyes showed a hint of surprise. Although she also believed that Han Xili was responsible, she currently had no evidence.

Emperor Beichen looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang with affection. His wife had even refrained from mentioning such a thing to avoid causing him trouble.

Thinking about it, his previous attitude must have made Bai Li Hongzhuang feel very helpless.

"Wife, I am not a foolish person."

With just a simple sentence, Bai Li Hongzhuang understood.

If she had already figured it out so clearly, how could Emperor Beichen not understand?

"You and Mo Yunjue met back then?"

Even though Mo Yunjue didn't say it, Emperor Beichen immediately deduced it.

Otherwise, Mo Yunjue wouldn't have known about the assassin's appearance, and with Han Xili's temperament, if she made a move, she would definitely try to kill Bai Li Hongzhuang.
