Chapter 106 Got Angry (2/2)

It was a little confusing for Tang Xia, but she still thought about Nanmen Yi.

Chu Tiankuo returned to Chaohe Palace and summoned General Zhao immediately to terminate the divination of Nanmen. He would expel Nanmen Yi from Xia, and would never be allowed to come back.

General Zhao could do nothing but obey.

However, it was said that good things would not go out, but bad things passed quickly through thousands of miles. The rumor about Nanmen Yi was spread quickly between Xia and Nanmen, about his frivolous behavior due to drunkenness. With the news spreading so quickly, it became a joke among the citizens during their free time. Many people were talking about it. They all wanted to spit at the prince of Nanmen because of his shamelessness.

Nanmen Yi was ready to leave Xia in a carriage. This incident made Nanmen Yi feel confused as he really did not know what had happened.

He just knew that he fainted after drinking a glass of wine, and remembered nothing at all after waking up.

Nanmen Yi also felt that things had happened too suddenly, and without any explanation. Others did not know, wouldn't Nanmen Yi know himself?

He was definitely not the kind of person who became lecherous after being drunk. How could he act in this manner towards a woman? It was ridiculous to think about it.

Although he really wanted to find out what happened, the emperor of Xia did not believe him at all and even wanted to expel him. Nanmen Yi was not that sort of person. Since the emperor had stated so clearly, he would not stay any more. He just wanted to figure it out one day, otherwise he would not be at ease with himself.

Nanmen Yi stayed in Xia for a few days before leaving because he had not fully recovered yet. But early in the morning, he received a letter from Nanmen.

At first glance, it was originally written by his father. Nanmen Yi thought that his father wanted to ask about divination. Maybe he was a little worried.

However, Nanmen Yi opened the letter and read it. His heart was filled with sorrow at his father's anger. The letter stated that Nanmen Yi had done such an embarrassing deed in Xia, and had shamed the whole of Nanmen.

As soon as he read it, Nanmen Yi felt very angry. In addition, he heard people talking about him and ruining his reputation when he came out of the city gate. Knowing that he was innocent, Nanmen Yi would not be willing to leave, so he insisted on General Zhao sending him back.

However, General Zhao had to obey the military order, so he did not dare to send Nanmen Yi back. Seeing how the situation was, Nanmen Yi got out of the carriage immediately.

”I must go back even if I have to walk in person.”

Having said this, Nanmen Yi went back. Nanmen Yi was so determined that General Zhao did not dare to stop the prince of Nanmen, so he had to let Nanmen Yi go.

After entering the palace, Nanmen Yi went straight to the Chaohe Palace. He wanted to go in, but the soldiers outside stopped him. Nanmen Yi had to say calmly,

”Tell your emperor that the prince of Nanmen is here to see him.”

The soldier nodded and let Nanmen Yi wait outside. And then he turned and walked into the Chaohe Palace. Seeing Chu Tiankuo, the soldier cupped his hands and said,

”Dear emperor, the prince of Nanmen is waiting outside.”

After he finished talking, Chu Tiankuo's eyes turned cold suddenly. Although his face remained calm, the corner of his mouth was already curving into a sneer.

He didn't know why Nanmen Yi came to see him. In his case, wasn't it better to hide and not see anyone at this time? But he still came to seek his death. Chu Tiankuo wanted to hear what he had to say.

”Let him in.”

In a short while, Nanmen Yi came in. Seeing Chu Tiankuo, he said directly,

”The emperor, I did nothing to that girl. I also ask you not to misunderstand me and ruin my reputation.”

Chu Tiankuo put down the memorial to the throne in his hand, and stared at Nanmen Yi with his sharp eyes.

”Nanmen Yi, you should be clear about what you have done. I didn't say anything. How could I have ruined your reputation? You said yourself that you have done nothing.”

”Then why did I see such a scene with my own eyes. Nanmen Yi, you came to explain. Were you that person? Was there another man? Did I turn blind and see something wrong?”

There was a fire in Nanmen Yi's heart. It was obvious that nothing happened, and the emperor should understand it. But from his words, Nanmen Yi could only hear the judgment against himself.

Suddenly, Nanmen Yi was not calm either.

”Since the emperor said so, I can't say anything. If something did happen between us, it was because that you are not handsome, so Tang Xia switched her affections to me instead. If so, why does it have anything to do with me?”

Suddenly, Chu Tiankuo became very angry and the blue veins on his hands stood out. His anger had reached the extreme.

”Guards, put Nanmen Yi into the death cell and wait for punishment.”
