　　 Book 4: Chapter 176: Back in the Imperial Prison

　　 Outside the Great Sigh Palace Hall, Major Metropolitan City:

　　 A group of officials tried to stop Qin Zibai, but he continued charging towards the doors.

　　 Boom!

　　 Qin Zibai knocked the doors open and immediately entered the Great Sigh Palace Hall.

　　 In the palace hall, Imperial Emperor Xi Yu’s tears had already dried up. He looked coldly at Qin Zibai, who had charged into the palace hall, and the officials following behind.

　　 “How audacious!” Imperial Emperor Xi Yu snorted coldly.

　　 “Your Reverence, sorry for the offense! Please pardon us!” The officials immediately knelt in horror.

　　 However, Qin Zibai showed no fear. Instead, he shouted, “Your Reverence, this was this official’s intention alone. I knocked down the palace hall’s doors; it had nothing to do with them. Your Reverence, the Yuan Nation is in danger. Why is Your Reverence remaining silent in the Great Sigh Palace Hall during this crucial moment? The nation requires Your Reverence to take charge of the situation, yet Your Reverence is not doing anything. Today, this official took the risk of barging in. If Your Reverence wants to kill me or punish me, this official will not begrudge you. I only hope that Your Reverence will come to your senses and take charge of the Yuan Nation to face the enemy, the Qian Nation’s army!”

　　 “Your Reverence, Lord Qin is right. The Qian Nation army has already invaded my Yuan Nation’s territory and even conquered a few cities!”

　　 “Your Reverence, please take charge of the situation!”

　　 “Your Reverence…!”

　　 The officials bowed while on their knees.

　　 Imperial Emperor Xi Yu looked coldly at Qin Zibai and the officials, not blaming Qin Zibai.

　　 “The Qian Nation already attacked?” Imperial Emperor Xi Yu said coldly.?ree?e???v?l.???

　　 At Imperial Emperor Xi Yu’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up.

　　 “Your Reverence, yes! There was information from the frontlines. According to Mister Mo—no, according to the a.n.a.lysis—it should have reached Vacant City today. Your Reverence, the Qian Nation is currently attacking us in a straight line. This official has overstepped and already ordered the surrounding military to defend. Your Reverence, please pardon me for that!” Qin Zibai immediately said respectfully.

　　 “Humph! It was under Mo Yike’s directions, right?” Imperial Emperor Xi Yu said coldly.

　　 Qin Zibai felt slightly startled, not knowing what to say.

　　 At this moment, an official stepped forward and said, “Reporting to Your Reverence, while Your Reverence was not around, Mo Yike colluded with Lord Qin to capture many officials. Mo Yike himself is a convict. Yet, instead of repenting, he spent his time interfering with politics. Your Reverence, please punish him.”

　　 “The offender Mo Yike even moved his clan’s guards to the imperial prison. He shows no repentance and disrespects His Reverence. He should be punished!” another official called out.

　　 “Your Reverence, Mo Yike opposes Your Reverence and brought harm to the citizens. He should be severely punished!”

　　 A few more officials stepped forward.

　　 “You b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! I was the one who asked Mister Mo to find the Qian Nation spies! Are you working with the Qian Nation spies?” Qin Zibai scowled.

　　 Indeed, these officials had already defected. However, they defected after Mo Yike captured all the traitors. The Qian Nation had sent people to recruit them after that. They only had one purpose: to cause Mo Yike’s death.

　　 Naturally, no one could harm Mo Yike with Qin Zibai protecting him.

　　 Thus, they could only try to use Imperial Emperor Xi Yu. Imperial Emperor Xi Yu only just returned to court and was currently furious. If they fanned the flames, perhaps Mo Yike would be executed.
