Si Yezhi walked outside and happened to see Si Ting coming back.

"I've met the head of the family."

Si Ting bowed with his fists, his face as sharp as a knife, looked a little tense.

Si Yezhi was a little surprised to see him like this:

"Si Ting, shouldn't you be in the academy today? Why are you back now?"

Si Ting hesitated for a moment and said:

"I heard something happened in the palace."

"What's the matter? Why don't I know?"

Si Yezhi was even more confused.

He has been sending people to contact the palace. If something really happens, he should know first.

How did Si Ting know about Tianlu Academy?

And it seems not very good...

Si Ting looked at him and clenched his fists:

"Chu Liuyue did not go to the academy today, but was summoned to the palace."

"So what--" Si Yezhi realized something as soon as he said that his expression was fusion, "You mean it is related to the matter between the Fourth Princess!?"

Si Ting nodded.

"I always feel something is wrong in my heart, so I came back early to take a look. I just happened to see Eunuch Min standing at the door."

Si Ting pursed his lips.

Eunuch Min's expression is not good...

At least, he had seen Eunuch Min so many times, but he had never seen such a look on his face.

Moreover, this is clearly for their Si family!

Si Yezhi's heart gradually sank.

When it comes to the fourth princess, His Majesty suddenly summoned him, and must have known about the fact that they had secretly searched for Rong Zhen before!

Even more, maybe even Si Meng was exposed!

He hurriedly patted Si Ting on the shoulder:

"I'll go to the palace to check it out first, and you'll stay at home. If something happens... everything in the Si family will be up to you."

As he said that, he took out a token from his arms and stuffed it into Si Ting's hand.

Si Ting frowned.

What happened that made the head of the family nervous? He even gave him the token representing the head of the family?

"Master, I can't take this, you still-"

"Hold it!"

Si Yezhi's face was very stern and could not be refused.

Si Ting looked at him and suddenly realized that the current situation might be more troublesome and dangerous than he thought.

He finally clenched the token and nodded:

"Don't worry, the head of the family. Si Ting must protect the Si family!"

Si Yezhi felt relieved, looked at Si Ting deeply, then turned around and left.

Si Ting looked at his back and for some reason, the uneasiness in his heart gradually spread.

...

On the other side, Si Yezhi hurried into the palace with Eunuch Min.

On the way, he wanted to find out what was going on several times, but Eunuch Min was very strict and refused to reveal any news.

This made Si Yezhi more and more sure of his guess.

——The Queen must have had something to do!

Otherwise, Eunuch Min would not have had such an attitude.

The two of them were speechless all the way. When they arrived at the imperial study room, countless thoughts had already flashed through Si Ye's mind.

Si Yezhi looked around calmly and immediately found that the guards in the imperial study were much stricter than before, and the overall atmosphere was also more serious and majestic than before.

His heart seemed to be hanging in the air, feeling so uncomfortable.

Eunuch Min stepped forward alone and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the head of the Si family has arrived."

Emperor Jiawen's cold voice came from the imperial study:

"Let him in!"

Eunuch Min looked at Si Yezhi and took a step back:

"Head of the Si family, please-"

Si Yezhi took a deep breath, tidied up his clothes, then moved forward and pushed the door in.

As soon as I walked in and saw the scene inside, Si Yezhi's heart hopped hard!

I saw that in the spacious and quiet imperial study, Emperor Jiawen sat on the table, and the folds and ink on it had been swept to the ground, making a mess.

And Queen Si Huijing knelt in front of him!

The gorgeous palace clothes on her body were covered with dirty clothes, her always neatly combed hair was also very messy, with tears on her face and red and swollen eyes.

She knelt there, her whole body filled with a breath of despair and pain.

Si Yezhi had never seen her look so embarrassed!

"Empress!?"

He couldn't help but shout and took a quick step forward.

However, soon he realized that Emperor Jiawen was still in the study!

He quickly stopped, turned his head to look at Emperor Jiawen, endured the turbulence in his heart, and bent down to salute:

"Si Yezhi has met Your Majesty."

When the queen saw him coming, her dull eyes moved, and the expression on her face looked very strange.

It seemed like I wanted to cry, but I couldn't cry anymore.

Her tears for half her life almost dried up today.

However, this did not make Emperor Jiawen feel soft at all.

Emperor Jiawen looked at Si Yezhi with a deep look.

"Si Yezhi, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Si Yezhi felt a strong pressure hit, and he knelt down almost without thinking:

"I don't know, please let Your Majesty make it clear!"

"You don't know? The Si family secretly searched Rong Zhen's whereabouts before, don't you know?"

Emperor Jiawen's voice was like a heavy hammer, and it fell down hard!

Si Yezhi clenched his fists.

really!

Your Majesty already knows it!

He immediately supported his hands on the ground and his forehead hit the ground heavily!

"I know my mistake! Please punish your Majesty!"

"You know your mistake? I'm sorry I thought you were loyal to me. I didn't expect you to join forces with the queen and deceive me for many years! You've known about Si Meng for a long time! Si Yezhi! You are so good!"

Emperor Jiawen became more and more angry as he spoke. He picked up the only teacup left at hand and suddenly smashed it towards Si Yezhi!

Bang!

The teacup hit Si Yezhi heavily!

Fragments splattered everywhere, and two pieces quickly scratched blood on Si Yezhi's face.

But Si Ye didn't dare to move, but just bowed his head and knelt more respectfully:

"Your Majesty, I know that I am guilty, but all this has nothing to do with the Empress! At the beginning, I was worried that the Empress could not protect herself in the palace, so I specially arranged Si Meng. There is also the disappearance of the Fourth Princess... The Empress was also afraid that you were too worried, so she wanted to ask me for help, not because she was intentionally concealed! In any case, I am willing to bear all the consequences!"

When Emperor Jiawen heard this, he sneered repeatedly.

"Term one's responsibility? Do you have that qualification? Si Yezhi, you don't have to act in front of me anymore. Rong Zhen was not missing at all! She was simply hidden by the queen!"
