Ye Qingci's voice wasn't loud, yet it clearly reached the ears of everyone present here.
Everyone's expressions became strange, and a few people looked as if they had just heard some earth-shattering bad news, their faces turning extremely pale.
Zhao Shijue was one of them.
He looked at the back of Ye Qingci, lips trembling as he asked, "Why are you telling me such a thing?"
However, she, who understood the underlying reason for Zhao Shijue's turmoil, remained calm and turned back to say, "Because I believe Prince Jue would certainly not bring this matter to Your Majesty."
With a single sentence, she revealed her purpose directly, explaining that the reason for informing everyone of this matter at this critical juncture was to bind everyone present with the same rope.
"Absurd, Su Chengyu deceives the emperor, and I should accompany him in deceiving as well!"
However, Zhao Shijue obviously didn't agree and turned to leave the courtyard.
