937 Tenth Slap 1 (1/2)
But the bottle of medicinal fluid that Lei Chen gave to Lei Xi had completely crushed the Empress' last ray of hope.
Lei Xi found that he could not understand why Lei Chen would do this.
Lei Chen raised his head looking highly forlorn as he stared at the Imperial Guards rushing into the main hall, quickly surrounding him and Lei Fan heavily.
In his heart, he was laughing bitterly at himself.
The Emperor had clearly overheard the truth about the secret behind Lei Fan's birth from the Empress herself previously, but he had still chosen to believe Lei Fan based just on the face he carried.

”Jun Xie! How did you come in here! ?” The Emperor stared at Jun Xie, his voice growing shrill.
Jun Wu Xie walked slowly to the centre of the main hall and swept her gaze over the chaotic turmoil within the place, then she slowly said, seemingly in no big hurry: ”I heard that Your Majesty was looking for me, so I came here to see Your Majesty.”
