Emperor Lu's body went taut, his brows furrowing as if in thought, but his heart felt as though someone had set it over a fire to roast.
Torment!
Could it be that this mother-in-law of his really knew something, or had seen through something?
But... that shouldn't be possible!
From Yang Chan's account, the two of them had been extremely careful. During the birth, the Lotus Lantern had been kept summoned the entire time, so even a mighty expert shouldn't have known of that child's existence!
Besides, among all the mighty experts in the Three Realms, who had nothing better to do every day than specifically keep watch on Longji and Yang Chan?
Thinking about it that way, it probably wasn't about him, and Emperor Lu felt slightly more at ease.
The Queen Mother glanced at him and said, "Why have you stopped speaking?"
"This subject feels..."
Lu Chuan raised his head to look at the Queen Mother and tested the waters. "May I ask, My Lady, which female immortal committed the offense?"
The Queen Mother did not answer, but asked in return, "Right, True Martial, you haven't had any intimate contact with Longji recently, have you?"
Emperor Lu froze. "Ah?"
At those words, Emperor Lu's heart leapt into his throat again, as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding past.
This sentence could be said to have shattered the last shred of his wishful thinking.
Emperor Lu looked up and saw the Queen Mother's face wearing a smile that was not quite a smile, and half his heart instantly went cold.
"Could it be Longji?"
Emperor Lu boldly probed like mad.
The Queen Mother's expression suddenly chilled, and an enormous pressure swept down like a sky-covering net. "True Martial, do you know your crime?"
"This subject knows his crime!"
