Beside her, Deng Jieyu shivered in fear.
It was because she knew in her heart the posture King of Huainan took in his coup, if he truly advanced, Emperor Xuanming might not prevail, after all, she was well aware that the palace's secret paths had also been disclosed to King of Huainan and his men.
She just did not expect that the opposite side was not helping her in forcing the Emperor, but was actually seeking revenge.
And moreover, she was their target for vengeance!
How could Deng Jieyu accept this!
She immediately kowtowed: "Emperor, King of Huainan is reckless and lawless, disregarding holy grace, he ought to be beheaded!"
"This concubine is innocent, I am willing to cooperate with the Emperor's investigation."
"My heart toward the Emperor can be witnessed by the sun and moon."
There wasn't a hint of a smile on Emperor Xuanming's face, and he didn't even grant Deng Jieyu a glance, entirely different from the way he used to pamper her.
