"You've committed such a grave error. It is already an act of mercy that I have not had them executed," the Beili Emperor said, his expression cold.
Seeing not a single trace of tenderness in his eyes, Consort Yuan's heart sank. 'Emperors truly are heartless!'
Sang Zhi struggled but couldn't break free. His rage gave way to a chilling laugh. "You want the map to Penglai Mountain? Well, I refuse to give it to you."
The Queen's eyes flickered. 'The map to Penglai Mountain?'
'The Eighth Prince has the map?'
The Beili Emperor hadn't expected him to have a public outburst and mention this. He roared, "Everyone who isn't involved, get out!"
"Emperor..."
"Get out."
The Queen had just opened her mouth to speak when the Beili Emperor's roar cut her off.
The Queen had never heard the Emperor speak to her like that. Though her mind was filled with questions, she didn't dare to linger and hastily left with her retinue of palace attendants.
