Although Grey didn't know much about the Emperor, he was sure the Emperor would most likely execute Jean and the entire Smith family if he found out about this.
The Emperor wants him for the Great Earth Essence Liquid, if Jean killed him, it would be equivalent to saying he had obtained the Liquids from Grey. This would in turn mean he wanted to usurp power from the Emperor after using the liquid, turning him into the threat.
Jean naturally didn't believe what he said, he was only trying to bait Grey into telling him about it.

He could almost sense an ill foreboding.
