Chapter 5 Storming to the Courtyard
I ignored those useless fools.
I rose abruptly and swept out.
Straight toward the courtyard where Xiao Heng was supposedly imprisoned.
The fire in my chest burned hotter.
I wanted to see for myself.
What kind of monster this Xiao Heng was, to confuse me so badly I ignored right and wrong, ignored the dignity of the throne!
I, an emperor.
Appointing a man as Empress?
And Xiao Heng of all people?
The more I thought, the angrier I became.
Especially when I reached the courtyard where Xiao Heng was confined.
I realized I must have gone mad.
Giving a defeated enemy, a prisoner, the courtyard right next to my sleeping quarters?
That place was reserved only for the Empress.
Xiao Heng must have used some vile trick on me.
