After these words came out, Lin Yi was evidently startled as well.
Little Little was the same, standing frozen on the spot, clueless about what was happening.
Soldiers from the Imperial Palace here to arrest Lin Yi? How could that be possible?
It was still the young Emperor who called the shots in the palace, so why on earth would there be an arrest for him now?
Could there be deceit involved?
Or were these people not from the palace?
Given Lin Yi's close relationship with the young Emperor, it was only natural for him to think this way.
This event simply should not be occurring.
This led him to wonder first and foremost if someone was pretending to be the Emperor to cause trouble for him.
After all, there were quite a few who could be behind such an act.
Whether it was the Fourth Prince or the Sixth Prince, or whether the escaped barbarians still had spies left in the Capital City, was unknown.
And their hatred for him was as deep as that for a father's murderer.
