Si Ye was confused when he heard their words. Rong Zhen didn't go missing? She was hidden by the Empress? But judging from her previous appearance, it completely didn't seem like it! Besides, if she really wanted to do it, why would Si Meng mysteriously die?
He suppressed his pain and didn't bother to wipe the blood on his face as he miserably begged. "Your Majesty, even though I don't know who told you this, it must be fake! Previously, the Fourth Princess went missing with Si Meng, and he quickly passed away after a while. The Empress was very worried about the Fourth Princess's safety, so she looked for me. I… I secretly sent someone to check the entire Imperial City, but I still couldn't find her whereabouts…"
"Rong Zhen said all of this personally. Could it be that she was lying?"
Emperor Jiawen's cold sentence immediately made Si Ye swallow his remaining words.
