"I was pulled in by Steward Bai, didn't do anything... Do you believe that?"
Qin Yu silently retorted in his heart.
Although it's the truth, saying it would seem like evading responsibility, lacking honesty.
"Don't worry, I won't tell His Majesty."
Lingtian Peak had an understanding look, lightly patting Qin Yu's shoulder, saying, "Even if His Majesty finds out, just say I, your brother, brought you here. Let me take the beating."
Looking at Lingtian Peak's indifferent face, Qin Yu remained skeptical.
As a Royal Court Tributor, he could absolutely walk horizontally in the Imperial Capital, yet seemed to act like a thief.
It's obvious he's afraid of being discovered by someone.
Upon careful thought, it was most likely the Empress, right?!
And one wonders just how the Empress strikes, that it could frighten someone to such extent.
"Ling Tributor, were you beaten before because you sneaked in..."
"Of course not!"
