Xia Houzhe was lost in thought inside the hall when suddenly he heard that Emperor Chu had arrived. Hastily straightening his expression, he turned his head to see Emperor Chu walking in with Song Zhiyuan, and his eyes flickered involuntarily.
There was killing intent.
"Royal brother." Xia Houzhe cupped his hands in salute.
Emperor Chu came over, looked at him, and said, "Do not address me like that; I do not deserve it."
Xia Houzhe was taken aback and smiled bitterly, "Yes, I greet Your Majesty."
Emperor Chu instantly felt tired, touched the Jade Ring on his finger, and said, "Let's not beat around the bush, nor play the guessing game. Let me ask you directly, do you want to live?"
Xia Houzhe raised his head and looked at him somewhat startled, instinctively realizing the forthcoming words wouldn't be pleasant.
Emperor Chu observed his feigned innocence and felt an itching in his hand, glanced at Song Zhiyuan with a look of 'it's your turn.'
