Chapter 314: The Grand Emperor's Conspiracy (1)

Feng Xuxu looked at the excited Emperor with suspicion, becoming even more alert as her mind raced.

Seeing Feng Xuxu's growing suspicions, the Emperor gave an embarrassed laugh and coughed, "Ahem, it's nothing really. If he has that Jade Pendant with him, it will surely fend off evil and bring him back safe and sound."

What he said seemed reasonable at first, but upon further thought, wasn't it just a roundabout way of probing for the whereabouts of the Jade Pendant?

"That would be wonderful. Chen will certainly return safely, God willing," she said, clasping her hands and closing her eyes to pray.

After hearing this, the corner of the Emperor's eye twitched, and he gripped the armrest of his chair more tightly, forcing a stiff smile, "That's good, that's good," while feeling a chill in his heart and casting his eyes downward to hide the cold light in them.
