Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 1177 - 1176: It Really Is Him

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1176: It Really Is Him

The Emperor was sitting in a chair at this time, watching the group that had just entered through the gauzy curtains.

Behind him, tens of steps away, was the Dragon Bed.

That very Dragon Bed which had just shocked everyone immensely.

And so after Prince Wang, Prince Yu, and the ministers entered, they could only stand far away in the outer room, separated not only by a layer of gauze curtains but also by a folding screen, before they could catch a glimpse of the Emperor’s silhouette.

"Your Majesty, we heard that there has been a disturbance in the palace, and we were so anxious that we rushed over."

Prince Yu kept staring at the figure sitting in the chair.

Despite the two layers of gauze, with his vision he could still see the person on the chair clearly.

Indeed, it was him!

How could this be?

Chu Lingyang couldn’t help but say, "Your Majesty, I heard that you... that you were injured. Your Majesty, are you still well?"

"Second Loyal Brother," the Emperor was also looking at his face through two layers of curtains, "In your view, does my body seem to have any problems?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Lingyang’s face flushed red, and he felt uneasy all over.

He was indeed embarrassed to discuss such matters.

Before entering, Chu Lingyang, like everyone else, also had a question in his mind.

Could it be that the person inside was not the Emperor at all?

If the Emperor had indeed been poisoned, would he have put on this act to conceal his injury by hiring someone to play the role?

But now, seeing with his own eyes, it was indisputably the Emperor himself.

The doubts were dispelled like smoke in the air, and now the only enigma left for him was the relationship between Little Lili and Achu.

Did Little Lili climb onto the Dragon Bed willingly, or was she forced?

"I was too rash, Your Majesty; long may you be blessed with great fortune and health; it was just my undue concern."

The Emperor said nothing but his gaze swept across the faces of all present.

"My beloved courtiers, have you come late at night because there is some urgent matter?"

"This..."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say at this moment.

They had rushed over upon hearing that the Emperor was poisoned, fearing someone was holding the Emperor hostage to command the lords.

But now it seemed that the Emperor was perfectly healthy, with absolutely nothing wrong.

The situation on the Dragon Bed just now couldn’t have been faked.

Eventually, everyone’s gaze, as if by agreement, fell on Prince Yu.

Prince Yu was still sitting in a wheelchair, and now the Emperor was also looking at him, at his legs.

"How is your leg, Loyal Brother?"

Little Shunzi presented the ginseng tea to the Emperor.

He took it and sipped lightly twice, trailing his long fingers slowly around the rim of the cup.

This gesture was a small unconscious habit of the Emperor’s, clearly visible to everyone!

Who was it that was just doubting the person inside was not the Emperor?

If not the Emperor, then who could it be?

What about being poisoned? Who knows who was spreading the rumors.

The Emperor had not pursued the matter, and that was that, but once he did, everyone could be accused of spreading evil rumors!

Who could bear such a responsibility?

Just now, wasn’t it Prince Yu who was the first to say that they should barge in?

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Although my leg is seriously injured, fortunately, my life is not in danger."

The Emperor smiled faintly, "That’s good then."

"Now that you all are here, there is a matter I was planning to discuss with my entrusted officials."

Everyone held their breath and listened quietly.

"Today, we received news from Xuri City that the Southern Ridge Clan has rebelled and plans to besiege the city. Now, Xuri City is in great jeopardy."

The Emperor’s gaze swept over everyone, "I am currently troubled by the decision of who to send to quell the rebellion."

Prince Yu’s eyes flashed, and he immediately said, "If not for the injury to my leg, I would have volunteered to personally lead the troops to suppress the Southern Ridge Clan!"

He then looked at Chu Lingyang and let out a light sigh, "This time, I am unable to compete with Second Loyal Brother for the honor!"
