Chapter 325: Pit of Confusion

Lei Xing's heart stopped when she saw the Emperor. Her mind quickly computed, and she dreaded turning her head to see the person whose arm was around her. Prince Yi, on the hand, had his gaze fixed on Lei Xing with a slight smile on his face. It was only when he noticed her stiffen that he turned his head to see what was causing her distress and locked gazes with the frowning Emperor. 

Prince Yi immediately realized what he was doing, blinked, and promptly released Lei Xing, hastily stumbling back and landing on the floor himself. He blinked up at Lei Xing in confusion, he had not even realized when he had grabbed her. He took a deep breath and then glared at Lei Xing.

Lei Xing blinked at Prince Yi, taken aback by the sudden hostility in his gaze, before quickly looking away. Her eyes met the Emperor's own hostile gaze and she lowered her eyes with a frown as her face heated up with embarrassment.
