"Ah?"
Meeting Fu Zhengqing's gaze.
Ye Liuyun feigned curiosity and shot back a question.
"Do I need to explain it to you?"
His demeanor was perfectly natural, as if he saw nothing wrong with his actions.
"Isn't this kind of thing only supposed to be reported to His Majesty? Why should I explain it to you? Or does Lord Fu think his status is above the Emperor? Is Lord Fu planning a rebellion?"
Being part of the Embroidered Uniform Guard—
Who's not skilled at setting someone up with a false charge?
"..."
Even Fu Zhengqing probably hadn't expected—
That one day he'd be framed as a traitor by someone else.
Seeing Fu Zhengqing remain silent, Ye Liuyun had no intention of stopping.
"Lord Fu, you don't look too well. I was just making a little joke. Could it be you can't take a joke, Lord Fu? Tsk tsk!"
And as he spoke,
Ye Liuyun deliberately clicked his tongue twice.
He looked for all the world like he was mocking Fu Zhengqing for being small-minded.
