Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1166: Fury

"Creak!"

Emperor Yun Changqing reached out and pushed open the vermilion doors of the main hall, stepping inside.

He looked around, not seeing the Empress, and finally his gaze fell on the gauze hanging over the elegant bed. He smiled faintly, "Are you still angry with me? You know, once it's happened, I have to handle it impartially. I believe Xuanxuan wouldn't commit such an assassination, he must have been framed. Once Li Tianyang finds out the truth, I'll order..."

As Yun Changqing spoke and walked forward, his eyes suddenly fell on the Black Armor beside the bed, and his eyes contracted fiercely. He was struck as if by lightning, like a chicken caught by the neck, his voice cut off abruptly, leaving only heavy breathing.

No, it can't be...

Yun Changqing's fingertips were trembling. He couldn't believe the Empress had betrayed him.

The muscles on Yun Changqing's face were twitching continually. He walked to the window, reached out to grab the gauze, and his trembling hand caused the gauze to ripple.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and tore open the gauze.

Upon seeing the two naked bodies on the bed, Yun Changqing's mind buzzed, darkness clouded his vision, and he wobbled, sitting heavily on the floor.

What is it to be Emperor? No man can endure such a blow. Moreover, he was the Emperor, believing everything in the Yunyue Empire was his, including women; no one dared betray him.

Yet, the scene before him was like a heavy punch, shattering all his pride.

"Bastard... Pfft..."

Yun Changqing roared in anger, and in a fit of rage, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

This man, experienced with countless women and conceited, was ultimately infuriated into spitting blood by one woman.

The guards outside heard the Emperor's angry shout and hurried in. Upon seeing the scene on the bed, they were dumbfounded. Then they shivered violently, all kneeling and prostrating on the ground, trembling.

The Empress's adultery was seen by them, and with the Emperor present, it was akin to rubbing salt into his wounds.

Yun Changqing sat on the ground, his eyes vacant, as if he aged several years instantly, his Essence Energy completely drained.

Who knows how long passed? Emperor Yun Changqing's gaze began to turn sinister and venomous.

He stood up from the ground, looked around, then walked to the corner, picked up a copper basin used for washing, and with half a basin of water inside, he splashed it towards the two people on the bed.

"Splash!"

The icy water startled the two people on the bed awake. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

When the Empress awoke and saw herself naked with another man on the bed, the Emperor's eyes nearly spewed fire, and she was scared stiff on the spot. Immediately, a scream, grabbing the quilt to cover her body, she kicked the Black Armor Warrior off the bed.

The Black Armor Warrior also woke up, and seeing the situation clearly, was like mourning his deceased parents. He knew he was done for, kneeling naked on the ground, trembling, praying the Emperor would give him a quick death.

"Whore." The Emperor roared, a smear of fresh blood again seeping out from the corner of his mouth.

"Emperor, it's not what you think, it's not, I was framed, I don't know what happened? You must believe me, I was set up." The Empress, panicked and at a loss, cried out her innocence loudly.

The Emperor's fury in his eyes seemed to desire to turn the Empress to ashes, "Framed, set up? This is the Empress Palace, guarded by experts, who can frame you? Tell me, who is framing you? Point them out to me."

The Empress, covering her body with the quilt, knelt on the bed, "I don't know either, I was suddenly knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, it was like this. Emperor, you must believe me, I am devoted to you, how could I betray you?"

"You whore, the truth is right in front of you, and you still refuse to admit it. Guards, kill her for me." The Emperor's eyes were bloodshot, roaring aloud.

The Empress nearly wet herself from fright, her scandal not only caught by the Emperor but witnessed by so many people. She couldn't hope to keep her position as Empress, she now only begged to keep her life.

"Emperor, it must be Qiu Tang, that bitch Qiu Tang. She envied me for taking her Empress position, so she took revenge on me. It was her, it must have been her..."

"Shut up!" The Emperor roared, like an enraged lion, "At this time, you're still wronging Qiu Tang. She's imprisoned in Anran Palace, watched by experts, unable to move a step, how could she frame you?"

The Emperor suddenly turned his gaze to the Black Armor Warrior on the ground, kicking him several meters away.

"You are my Black Armor Warrior, the one I trust the most, yet you dare betray me."

The Black Armor Warrior quickly crawled up to kneel properly, trembling in his voice, "Emperor, I was framed. I was knocked unconscious, and when I awoke, it was like this. The Emperor can kill me, but please investigate this matter clearly, let me die knowing."

These two knew that now, only by persistently claiming innocence, they might save their lives.

The Emperor's eyes were filled with the fire of burning everything, his teeth gnashing audibly. However, after so long, he somewhat regained his reason. The Empress knew he was coming today, yet she still consorted with the Black Armor Warrior, she couldn't be that stupid, right?

Could it be... someone is truly scheming?

If it's true, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Someone daring to use his scandalous concubine and his most trusted Black Armor Warrior to set a trap was slapping his face to pieces.

"Yun Zheng."

A Black Armor Warrior hurriedly stepped forward, bowing to receive orders.

Yun Zheng is the leader of the Black Armor Warriors and the one the Emperor trusts the most.

"What do you think of this matter?"

Yun Zheng's entire body and face were covered under his Black Armor, expression unseen, he pondered for a moment, and didn't speak.

"I told you to speak, say whatever you have to say, and you'll be forgiven."

"Yes!" Yun Zheng paused, then said, "I believe there are too many suspicious points. You, above all, know the Empress's capabilities. She couldn't have done something so outrageous. If no one set her up, then she must have gone insane. I speak presumptuously, please punish me, Emperor."

The Emperor waved his hand, "I said, you'll be forgiven."

"Emperor, I believe someone daring enough to use the Empress and a Black Armor Warrior for a scheme must be audacious and evil-hearted, this matter cannot go uninvestigated."

"I was thinking the same."

The Emperor's gaze was shady and cruel, pondering for a while, then said to Yun Zheng, "Imprison these two adulterers, interrogate them thoroughly. Also, everyone here tonight, silence them all."

"Yes!" Yun Zheng nodded.

Such a massive scandal, if leaked, where would the Emperor's face go? Thus, everyone aware of tonight's events must die.

However, just as Yun Zheng was about to order arrests, the voice of Li Tianyang was heard from outside, "Your subordinate Li Tianyang seeks audience with the Emperor, with important matters to report."

"Wait outside," the Emperor said angrily. He still trusted Li Tianyang greatly, and if Li Tianyang came in and saw this scene, he would have to kill him. He didn't let him in to spare his life.
