Censor Zhang saw Prince Guang digging his hand into his sleeve.

He was very nervous.

He immediately approached Ye Siming and whispered anxiously, “This is bad. Does Prince Guang want to take out a dagger?”

Ye Siming looked over coldly.

“He doesn’t dare.”

Prince Guang was a despicable guy.

He wouldn’t take such a risk.

He knew that there were imperial guards around the hall.

There were also four personal guards standing beside His Majesty.

Moreover, he was so close.

If Prince Guang dared to have malicious intentions…

In the blink of an eye, Ye Siming could grab his throat.

Gu Yihan frowned and watched as Prince Guang dug around in his sleeve for a long time.

He raised his voice impatiently. “I’m asking you a question. Are you mute? What are you digging around for?”

At this moment, Prince Guang suddenly pulled out a key with a green dragon-shaped jade hanging on it.

He dropped to his knees.

His stomach also trembled.

Gu Nuo’er let out a soft “Oh ho!”.

The n*ked prince wasn’t afraid that his knees would hurt!

Gu Yihan’s frown deepened.

The officials were also puzzled.

What was Prince Guang doing here today?

Prince Guang first kowtowed and then straightened up, his voice loud and clear.

“Imperial Brother! You’ll definitely recognize this dragon-shaped jade key! This is the key to the emperor’s private treasury that has been pa.s.sed down in our Gu Family for generations and is only managed by the emperor!”

Some of the old officials had seen this key before and immediately recognized it.

Everyone was in an uproar—

“Why is this thing in Prince Guang’s hands?”

“Could it be that he stole it?”

Their guesses made Prince Guang unable to listen anymore.

He hurriedly explained, “I heard that previously, because Imperial Brother doted on your daughter, you gave this key to the little princess to play with.

However, in the end, she accidentally lost it! It almost caused a huge disaster!” Prince Guang turned to look at the civil and military officials.

“All the subjects would know that the heirloom seal that is not easily revealed to others is stored in the private treasury! That’s evidence that our ancestors established the country back then! If the key falls into the hands of evil people, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

After saying that, he became even more proud. “Although the little princess lost it, I’ve picked it up now. This allows our ancestor’s item to be preserved.”

Prince Guang looked at Gu Yihan. “Imperial Brother, I’ll return this key to you. There’s nothing wrong with Imperial Brother doting on your daughter. It’s just that you shouldn’t have given out such an important thing to her to play with!”

The officials immediately whispered amongst themselves.

No one dared to badmouth Gu Yihan.

However, they still had lingering fears.

This was the key to the private treasury that all the emperors of Great Qi had pa.s.sed down from generation to generation.

If the key were to be lost, not only would the heirloom seal be stolen, but the hidden scrolls and treasures in the private treasury would be gone as well! However, there were also many officials who didn’t say anything and had doubtful att.i.tudes.

This was especially true for Censor Zhang.

He didn’t say anything and stared at Prince Guang, his eyes filled with deep confusion.

Censor Zhang couldn’t help but ask, “May I ask where Your Highness picked the key up from?”

Prince Guang’s eyes flashed guiltily and he said, “In the imperial garden, of course.”

Censor Zhang was even more puzzled. “That’s not right. There are many people coming and going in the imperial garden. There are countless palace maids and patrolling imperial guards pa.s.sing by every day.

“Moreover, there are so many princes and ladies from the harem. If the little princess had accidentally lost the key there, how did the prince happen to pick it up?

Prince Guang’s heart jumped.

“This…” He hurriedly looked at Gu Yihan. “Imperial Brother, this subject really picked up the key. Censor Zhang’s words seem to be slandering this subject for trying to wait for an opportunity to take action!”

Censor Zhang waved his hand repeatedly. “This subject didn’t say that..”
