Lei Xi found that he could not understand why Lei Chen would do this.
Lei Chen raised his head looking highly forlorn as he stared at the Imperial Guards rushing into the main hall, quickly surrounding him and Lei Fan heavily.
In his heart, he was laughing bitterly at himself.
The Emperor had clearly overheard the truth about the secret behind Lei Fan's birth from the Empress herself previously, but he had still chosen to believe Lei Fan based just on the face he carried. But when the Empress had just revealed the circumstances about his own birth, the Emperor had not doubted it at all, and had not even hesitated in the slightest or suspected otherwise before he had adamantly judged him guilty.
No questions, not a single attempt at verification, before he believed everything!
