Inside the Palace Xuanshi, Emperor Yuan Hui was seated on a dragon throne.

The hall was deathly silent.

The eunuchs on both sides of the Dragon Throne stood with their heads bowed, not even daring to breathe. They were afraid that they would accidentally enrage His Majesty.

A long time later, Emperor Yuan Hui finally opened his mouth: "You said that Old Sixth sent people to assassinate you, do you have any evidence?"

Yan Yun had someone present a treasured sword, so he said in a serious tone: "This weapon was picked up from the ground the night I was assassinated. There are carvings of Qilin markings on it, only the Sixth Brother's elite soldiers wear this weapon, father, please inspect it."

Emperor Yuan Hui took it, and read it carefully over and over again, but did not say a word.

Yan Yun was completely confident so he was not in a hurry at all.

Emperor Yuan Hui returned the sword back to its original state.

He was puzzled, "father ...."

Just as Emperor Yuan Hui was about to speak, a the young eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, this An Wang wishes to seek an audience."

What a coincidence.

Emperor Yuan Hui announced Yan Yu as he entered.

Before long, Yan Yu appeared at the entrance of the hall wearing an indigo persimmon robe. He walked forward with wide steps, and when he saw Yan Yun kneeling inside the hall, he was startled. His eyes darkened, and calmly went forward to kneel in front of Emperor Yuan Hui. Emperor Yuan Hui did not let any of them go, and instead asked mischievously: "What, you two brothers agreed to come over together?"

Yan Yun looked at Yan Yu and called him "Sixth Brother" against his will.

Yan Yu, however, did not reply. He retrieved an item from his sleeve and handed it over to Emperor Yuan Hui, "This son has something that father can take a look at."

Emperor Yuan Hui indicated for the eunuch by his side to take it.

It was a letter painted with fire lacquer, and it stated the time and place Yan Yun had been in contact with the People of Western Yi the past two years. During the first year, they had not interacted much with each other. However, during the first half of this year, they had met with Western Yi's Great General Cha Ge'er no less than five times.

When Emperor Yuan Hui saw it, his expression turned ugly. He held the paper tightly and crumpled it, then threw it in front of the two of them.

"I'm not dead yet, but you guys can't sit still!" He was extremely furious, taking the treasured sword from the elder's hands and pointing it at the two of them, he said angrily: "Brother, what's wrong? To expose each other? "Do you really want to sit in my place that badly?"

Since the time Yan Yun came, Emperor Yuan Hui was already not in a good mood. Now that Yan Yu had added fuel to the fire, he naturally could not help but explode.

The contents of Yan Yu's letter could not not be trusted but also believed. Whether or not Yan Yun had come into contact with the People of Western Yi, had to be investigated thoroughly.

However, this did not mean that he could just stand by and watch them fight amongst themselves.

Emperor Yuan Hui's eyes were red, if not for his father-in-law's warning, he really would have stabbed a few holes into them.

"Weren't you saying a lot just now? Why are you not saying anything now?" Emperor Yuan Hui gasped for breath as he sat back on the dragon throne.

He was old and tired all the time, and his health was not as good as it used to be. Normally, he wouldn't be able to tell, but once he got angry, he wouldn't be able to breathe.
