Every Word Is True

Mrs. Yuan's eyes shimmered with tears as she pulled him into her arms, her heart feeling as if an old wound had been ripped open, raw and bleeding...

Mr. Yuan brought Sam Yuan into the palace to meet Emperor Colin Gu.

They explained Sam Yuan's situation to the emperor.

He was a eunuch, so it was impossible for him to have an affair with Chloe Zhu.

Colin Gu was shocked, but only half-believed it.

Sam Yuan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please send someone to verify it!"

Before Colin Gu could respond, Chief Eunuch Gavin Gao personally took Sam Yuan to a side room for the examination.

When they returned, Gavin Gao reported to Colin Gu that it was just as the Yuans had said—Sam Yuan really was a eunuch.

Judging by the scar, it had been at least seven or eight years.

Colin Gu frowned deeply.

"Your Majesty." Sam Yuan knelt and said, "Chloe and I were born on the same day, in the same year and month. For years, elders have joked that we’re a perfect match, but I know my own situation. My feelings for her are only sympathy for a fellow sufferer! And she treats me like a brother. Please, Your Majesty, see the truth!"

"Speak while standing," Colin Gu said, helping him up.

Sam Yuan took out a jade pendant. "I grabbed this from the attacker by accident, Your Majesty. Please have a look."

Colin Gu took the pendant and saw the name 'Cindy Zhu' engraved on it. His expression instantly changed.

Suddenly, he remembered Chloe’s defense from before.

She said Silver tricked her into going to the back hall.

Then she was ambushed.

She also said it was Cindy Zhu’s doing...

So... every word was true!

But he hadn’t believed her at the time.

After all, people are more willing to believe what they see with their own eyes...

"Gavin Gao, go and summon the Imperial Noble Consort!" Colin Gu’s tone was a bit dark.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gavin Gao left.

At that moment, Cindy Zhu was in the Imperial Garden.

She ran into another favored consort of Colin Gu, and the two were busy comparing who the emperor loved more.

Just then, Gavin Gao arrived to summon Cindy Zhu to the Jinhua Hall, where the emperor met with ministers.

Cindy Zhu immediately boasted to the other consort, "See? The emperor wants me by his side again!"

The other consort’s face turned green with jealousy.

"Your Grace, please! The emperor is waiting," Gavin Gao said with a half-smile.

"Got it!" Cindy Zhu looked down on eunuchs, even if they were spirit practitioners.

She didn’t even glance at Gavin Gao, just sashayed away.

Gavin Gao snorted coldly and followed her.

When she arrived at Jinhua Hall, Cindy Zhu smiled sweetly and walked toward Colin Gu with a coquettish air.

"Your Majesty, why did you call me here?" she asked in a sugary voice.

She noticed there were two other people inside, but only saw their backs and didn’t pay attention to who they were.

"Kneel," Colin Gu said, his gaze dark and cold.

"Huh?" She froze.

"Kneel!"

"For—"

She was just about to ask why when—SMACK!—Cindy Zhu felt a sharp pain in the back of her knees and dropped to the floor.

She turned to look and saw Gavin Gao had kicked her behind the knees.

"You filthy eunuch! How dare you kick me! You rootless thing, you’re not even worthy to touch a single finger of mine!" Cindy Zhu raged.

"Your Grace, when the emperor tells you to kneel, you kneel. If you have questions, you kneel and then ask." Gavin Gao replied, expressionless.

"You—"

Cindy Zhu was about to curse him out again when something suddenly flew at her.
