Deputy Officer Xu approached Helian Chengyan and Bai Siyao: "Your Highnesses, please come with me."
"Grandfather, will you please let them go?!" Chi Xingye begged.
She did not know what the Helian Family Law was, but she was sure this punishment wouldn't be light!
But the old emperor remained unmoved.
Chi Xingye looked anxiously at the two men being led out of the hall by Deputy Officer Xu, and she immediately followed.
From behind, the old emperor's cold voice followed: "What, are you intending to follow them and accept punishment as well, Ye?"
The group at the door halted simultaneously.
Even though Chi Xingye felt a greater, deeper guilt towards Bai Siyao.
But when both men were about to be punished, her main concern was for Helian Chengyan.
Now, she let her heart guide her, ran up to Helian Chengyan, grabbed his sleeve, her eyes filled with worry and hurt, "Chengyan…"
She couldn't persuade the old emperor, yet she couldn't bear to see them punished either.
