Chapter 408: Feeling Guilty (2/2)

The current Emperor was able to make certain decisions on his own, but the moment it was an important decision, he would need permission from the Retired Emperor and the Grand Elder.

But she had forgotten that she was the one who had caused the problem by making an edict. She did not know that what she had done was the same as kicking a hornets' nest.

”Go and invite the Empress here right away!” The Emperor said, his voice was also containing anger and frustrations.

Hearing that he was angry, Xue Wei understood that he was genuinely unaware of the actions of the Empress, but he was not feeling much better. To treat his friends like this, he would never accept it.

Xue Wei crossed his arms over his chest before he glanced at the many scared Royal Guards that were all around him. They were lowering their heads, especially three, who had survived the initial attack.

They had heard the words of the Royal Guard, who had first died and knew now that Xue Wei was not bragging when he said that the Emperor had to come to meet him.

Now when they looked at it, they understood that Xue Wei was not a simple figure.

But Xue Wei said nothing while waiting for the Empress to arrive. The Emperor was not sure about what to say, he was feeling embarrassed, and eventually, he also summoned the Retired Emperor and the Grand Elder.

He had hardened his heart and already decided what to do with the Empress, but he was not allowed to do it himself.

The Empress came from a dominant branch of the Vermilion Bird Clan. If he made a move on her without permission from the Retired Emperor and the Grand Elder, they would cause problems.

However, if the three of them together made a decision on her future, the family backing her could say nothing.

Xue Wei saw that the Retired Emperor and the Grand Elder appeared in a fluster, and not long after, the Empress appeared as well.

Her eyes widened in shock when she saw Xue Wei, who had blood on his body, even bloodstains were on his face, and rivers of blood were flowing on the ground.

”You ungrateful creature!” The Empress said with a frown on her face, ready to rebuke Xue Wei for having murdered numerous Royal Guards.

”Shut up!” The Emperor yelled at her, stunning her slightly. She looked at the many dead Royal Guards, but even so, the Emperor was angry at her, and not Xue Wei. Something was wrong.

”My dearest, don't be blinded just because he is her son. He has murdered numerous Royal Guards; this is not something you can condone.”
