At this moment, the little Emperor was like a ravenous and furious lioness, each intonation venting her dissatisfaction.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Lin Yi quickly bent over to apologize: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I admit my fault. I will return to attend to you immediately."

As Lin Yi spoke, he took off the bullet-proof suit he was wearing, and listening to the angry tone of his obedient wife, he wished he could fly to the little Emperor's side in the next second.

Lin Yi, preoccupied with himself, completely failed to notice that Gongsun Mo had already approached him.

All of a sudden, Gongsun Mo produced a sharp long sword from seemingly nowhere, pressing it to Lin Yi's neck, and threatened, "Young brother, I've said before that until this matter is cleared up, you cannot leave Qiankun Palace."

Over the walkie-talkie, the little Emperor detected that Lin Yi was in danger, and became anxious.

"Who is it, who's threatening you? Tell me quickly!"

Lin Yi glowered furiously at Gongsun Mo, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

'Damn it, you old fool, do you know that you're playing with fire, challenging my bottom line!'

'My little Emperor wife can't handle this kind of shock!'

However, Gongsun Mo was undaunted by Lin Yi's warning glare. Upon hearing the little Emperor's voice, his heart was a mixture of emotions.

Had the Gongsun family not been wiped out that year, his own little daughter would have been eighteen by now.

Suddenly, he snatched the walkie-talkie from Lin Yi's hand, his voice sinister.

"Little Emperor boy, I hope all is well?"

The little Emperor was captivated by this strange yet familiar voice.

"Who are you, who exactly are you? Release Lin Yi immediately, or I will certainly not let you go. If you dare touch my Great General of the nation, I will execute your entire family!"

Facing the little Emperor's fierce orders, Lin Yi felt touched that in moments of danger, the little Emperor could still be so domineering in her protection of her husband.

But when the little Emperor mentioned "execute your entire family," Lin Yi's face went pale with fright.

'This imperial family is truly heartless; at the drop of a hat, it's about executing an entire family. Ah, my obedient wife, can we temper our anger a little, not be so hot-tempered? Your husband is currently at the mercy of someone else.'

"Hahaha!" Gongsun Mo laughed wildly, disdainfully replying: "Little Emperor boy, your father Emperor has already executed my entire Gongsun family. And now it's your turn, after many years, your first words are to execute my family?"

"My Gongsun family should never have been born into this Great Empire!"

Thinking this, Gongsun Mo gripped the hilt of the sword even tighter. He could sense that Lin Yi was very important to the little Emperor boy.

If he killed Lin Yi, it would indeed be a heavy blow to the little Emperor boy.

With the knife pressed against his neck, Lin Yi was in a passive position, the whole situation having unfolded too rapidly, leaving him no chance to counter.

'If only I had not been so impulsive earlier and explained things to this old fool, now my obedient wife is worried — what nonsense is this.'

Seeing Gongsun Mo beginning to gather strength, Lin Yi also pressed his laser cutting gun against Gongsun Mo's belly.

He figured Gongsun Mo wouldn't dare to really make a move, but if the other party truly acted, they could just die together.

But if that happened, Lin Yi would leave behind three children without a father in the Great Empire, and in the future, there would be no one to protect his women and children.

'No, such a thing must absolutely not happen.'

At this critical moment, Lin Yi shouted loudly: "Judge Zhong!"

Judge Zhong, engrossed in his research, heard Lin Yi's voice and realized the situation was dangerous. He wasn't sure why Gongsun Mo and Lin Yi had started fighting again.

But he was truly worried, for just a while ago during their drinking, the two were almost brotherly, how could they have turned against each other so quickly.

Therefore, Judge Zhong hurried over, saying excitedly.

"Gongsun senior, we found it!"

Upon hearing the news, Gongsun Mo instantly pushed Lin Yi away, dropped his sword, and skated over to Judge Zhong on his skateboard.

"Huff!"

Lin Yi finally averted danger, heaved a sigh of relief, and without delay began explaining to the young Emperor to put his mind at ease.

Yet the young Emperor remained silent for a long while, that familiar voice, that senior called Gongsun, was somehow familiar to him in his mind.

Not until Gongsun Mo and Judge Zhong had gone far away did Lin Yi dare to cover the transceiver with his hand and whisper.

"My dear sweet wife, there was a bit of an unexpected situation just now, but you don't need to worry, I've got it under control. Wait for me a bit, I'll be back soon."

Intending to reassure the young Emperor, the Emperor's voice suddenly turned serious.

"I remember now, that's Lord Gongsun, I've heard my father the Emperor mention his name before, it's just a pity."

As he spoke, the young Emperor's tone became weighted.

Back then he was still young, although aware of the term 'the execution of a whole clan', he didn't realize its true significance.

During his words, he also missed his father the Emperor.

Seeing an opportunity, Lin Yi asked, "My lady wife, this matter with Gongsun Mo has to do with the old eunuch, do you still recall anything regarding Gongsun Mo's past?"

So many years had passed, aside from a vivid memory of her father the Emperor, the young Emperor's recollection of other matters had significantly faded.

Yet, after hearing Gongsun Mo mention that her father the Emperor had executed the Gongsun family to the ninth degree, she felt an unexplained tension rise within her.

In ancient times, to execute one to the ninth degree was for an unforgivable crime against the state, but just now, for the sake of Lin Yi, she had expressed the execution of the extended family so readily.

Filled with regret, the young Emperor suddenly remembered her father the Emperor's sigh while reading "Zhuangzi", lamenting that he had wronged the Gongsun family.

"Wait, I remember now, my father the Emperor mentioned Lord Gongsun when reading 'Zhuangzi'."

The Emperor's voice was indifferent, not cherishing the memory.

Lin Yi sensed that something was amiss with the young Emperor and tentatively said, "My dear wife, are you alright? Sit tight and wait for me, I'm coming back now."

One could imagine the young Emperor's melancholic expression, all alone without anyone by her side.

At times like this, a woman certainly needs company.

But the young Emperor spoke with unusual calmness, "No, you must first resolve the matter of Lord Gongsun for me, I'll await your return."

It's important to know that before Gongsun Mo's family was executed to the ninth degree, he was the Emperor's most trusted Imperial Guard Governor, often by the side of the Emperor.

The Emperor also esteemed Gongsun Mo highly, even when idling around in Qiankun Palace, he preferred to have Gongsun Mo accompany him.

As time went by, Gongsun Mo had the opportunity to meet the then baby Emperor.

Lin Yi was taken aback by the dramatic shift in the attitude of his wife, the young Emperor. After confirming repeatedly that she was fine, he went on to purchase a large number of delicacies from Nine-Eyed Mall for the Emperor and Ying Yi.

"My dear sweet wife, I made you worry today, when I get back, I'll definitely make it up to you."

In response to Lin Yi's promise, the young Emperor nodded and gently caressed her abdomen.

'My dear sweet Prince, wait for your father to come back and then we'll tell him the good news. For now, let him handle some troublesome matters for us.'

With that thought, the next second, the little Prince in the young Emperor's belly twisted, as if understanding the Emperor's voice, giving a strong response.

"Lord Gongsun is highly skilled in martial arts, you must be careful."

After giving her advice, the young Emperor reluctantly hung up the transceiver.
