Xiao Tong's betrayal made Wei Jin feel, for a moment, that he was completely defeated.
The person he had trusted for so many years had stabbed him in the back without any hesitation!
So, although he had hinted to Li Xin, he didn't hold much hope for him.
After all, if he were to bear the responsibility alone, a tempest would be waiting for him.
But he did not expect...
Wei Jin gave Li Xin a look of gratitude, but his face screamed with anger as he scolded, "Foolishness, you really are foolish. Did I not make it clear that I would not allow harm to come to King Rui's wife?"
As he spoke, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy from Emperor Yue, "Your Majesty, I'm also to blame for this matter. It was my lack of strict control over my subordinates that led to this mistake. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
