Chapter 1099: Abandoned by everyone

"Since you've made up your mind, then come with me!"

Su Xuan said to Yi Xiaochuan.

Afterward, he took Yi Xiaochuan and left, heading toward a side hall.

Inside the side hall, there were many rooms.

At the door of one room, several guards were keeping watch, and inside the room, Liu Bang was lying lazily on a desk.

He suddenly had a feeling of being trapped by his own actions.

If he had known that reporting Yi Xiaochuan would be so troublesome, he shouldn't have come to this Imperial Palace.

He thought he could go back after reporting, but now, he was trapped in this palace and couldn't go anywhere.

And the food in the palace was just so-so.

He thought he would be eating delicacies, but he didn't expect the taste to be so terrible, almost like what dogs eat. For a moment, Liu Bang couldn't help but think of Fan Kuai's dog meat back in Peixian.

Liu Bang naturally didn't know that his food being terrible was deliberately arranged by Gao Yao.

Because of Su Xuan, Gao Yao ultimately didn't poison Liu Bang's food, but he couldn't let Liu Bang off so easily, so he added some ingredients to the food sent to Liu Bang.

The dishes looked quite good, but the taste was indescribable.

"I wonder if that person has reported this matter to the Emperor?"

Liu Bang couldn't help but think. He didn't know who that person was, but his status must be extraordinary.

At the same time, while pondering whether that person had reported the affair between Yi Xiaochuan and Yushu to the Emperor, Liu Bang would occasionally feel a trace of fear. He was afraid that Beauty Yu had eyes and ears everywhere and had suppressed this matter.

In the end, he was just a small Pavilion Chief, his words carried little weight, while the other party was a Tu'an princess and the Emperor's favored concubine. If he were the Emperor, he would definitely choose to believe his favored concubine.

But things had reached this point, and he had no way out, so he could only insist that Yi Xiaochuan and Yushu were having an affair.

Just as Liu Bang was thinking this.

At the doorway, Su Xuan brought Yi Xiaochuan there.

Su Xuan waved his hand, and the guards keeping watch at the door left one after another.

After only two people were left, Su Xuan said to Yi Xiaochuan, "The person is inside. As for weapons, I won't give you any. You are proficient in martial arts, so I assume you can beat the other party to death with your bare hands."

Yi Xiaochuan had already made up his mind; for himself and Yushu, he had to get rid of the person who reported him.

Although he felt somewhat sorry for this person, this was a helpless situation.

He didn't want it to be like this either.

Su Xuan was not surprised that Yi Xiaochuan would make up his mind so easily. Although he was a modern person, Yi Xiaochuan was not a law-abiding good citizen, especially regarding the matter of Yushu.

Back then, to persuade Cui Wenzi to help him save Yushu, he even dared to go to the Inner Treasury to steal the Night-Shining Pearl, which was a capital offense.

Nodding, Yi Xiaochuan pushed the door and entered.

After Yi Xiaochuan went in, Su Xuan flicked his sleeves, and the door pushed open by Yi Xiaochuan closed again.

Yi Xiaochuan listened to the closing sound behind him and didn't take it to heart.

Just because, after seeing the person inside clearly, he was stunned.

"Big Brother, how could it be you?"

The person in the room was none other than Liu Bang.

Yi Xiaochuan never expected that the person who wanted to report the affair between him and Yushu was his sworn brother, Liu Bang.

Liu Bang was also stunned upon hearing Yi Xiaochuan's words, his face instantly becoming somewhat ugly. He didn't expect Yi Xiaochuan to appear in the Imperial Palace.

However, he was a smart person and naturally wouldn't say he was here to report Yi Xiaochuan. He asked preemptively, "Xiaochuan, how did you come to the Imperial Palace?"

Yi Xiaochuan was very shocked upon seeing Liu Bang, and then thought of the things Su Xuan had said earlier. If what Su Xuan said was true, the person who wanted to report him was his sworn brother.

Yi Xiaochuan's tone instantly became slightly cold, "Compared to this question, I would rather ask Big Brother, how did you appear in the Imperial Palace?"

"This, this..."

Liu Bang was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain. Fortunately, he had some quick wit. After his brain ran at high speed, he finally thought of a relatively reliable explanation, "My worthy brother also knows that I am a Pavilion Chief and have the duty of capturing thieves. That day in Peixian, I caught a thief and later discovered that this person's identity was extraordinary; he was a wanted criminal of the imperial court. So, coming to the palace today was to report this matter to the imperial court and then receive the reward."

"My worthy brother, don't worry. Big Brother is not a stingy person. You like drinking, right? Once I receive the reward, I will treat you to a drink, and we brothers will not return until we are drunk."

"Is that so?" Yi Xiaochuan looked at Liu Bang with half-belief.

In Liu Bang's words, he heard a different version.

Either Su Xuan was lying, or Liu Bang was lying.

In all fairness, he hoped Su Xuan was lying; after all, he didn't like Su Xuan and hated this person very much, while Liu Bang was his sworn brother. After Xiang Yu died, Liu Bang was his only sworn brother left.

But on second thought, what reason did Su Xuan have to lie to him?

Lying to him didn't seem to have any benefits.

"That's right, that's it!"

Liu Bang didn't know what Yi Xiaochuan was thinking and hurriedly said. Although he didn't know how Yi Xiaochuan entered the palace and came here, he still decided to flatly deny his purpose for coming here in front of Yi Xiaochuan.

In short, appease Yi Xiaochuan first.

Once Yi Xiaochuan left, he would continue to report Yi Xiaochuan.

Once the Emperor knew about this, it wouldn't matter even if Yi Xiaochuan knew he had betrayed him. Yi Xiaochuan had an affair with the Emperor's favored concubine; if this matter spread, Yi Xiaochuan would definitely die.

"Xiaochuan, Xiaochuan, don't blame Big Brother for being ruthless; who told you that what you did wasn't decent enough!"

Liu Bang thought to himself.

Yi Xiaochuan's gaze continued to fall on Liu Bang, sizing him up from head to toe, and then said in a deep voice, "But as far as I know, you entered the palace to report and expose me."
