Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

“The accident in the Forbidden Forest was unexpected, and it also broke my heart when several participants from Dong Lang and Wu Li were killed during the event in the forest.”

Emperor Bai Guowei just showed his condolences, but someone in the great hall suddenly snorted, and everyone in the hall turned towards the source of the sound, only to find that it was Shao Yaoting who had just snorted in front of the white-haired Emperor.

It could be said that it was the first time someone from the Black Werewolf Clan was invited to the court meeting in the Zuigao Hall. The clan had always been on a different side from the White Werewolf Clan that was currently ruling the empire, and that was why no one from the Black Werewolf Clan had become an official in the Imperial Palace.

The tension between the two clans was too obvious, but everyone in the hall still looked shocked when the head of the Black Werewolf Clan even had the audacity to offend the Emperor in the Zuigao Hall.

“You say that it breaks your heart, Your Majesty?” Shao Yaoting asked with a smirk on his face. “The people who hosted the Beast Hunting Event in the Forbidden Forest were the rulers of Dong Lang and Wu Li, but since my daughter was even killed during the event, I can’t help but suspect someone from the White Werewolf Clan as the one who arranged the show in the forest.”

The Black Werewolf Clan’s leader even dared to publicly voice his suspicions that it was someone from the White Werewolf Clan deliberately plotting chaos in the forest, and everyone in the hall immediately wore shocked expressions on their faces.

They looked surprised, but Bai Renshu was not the same because the man was showing an expression full of approval after hearing Shao Yaoting’s opinion.

Even when they were still in the Forbidden Forest, Bai Renshu continued to blame his father for his lover’s death, and it was clear that the young man still held the same opinion even after they returned to the Rongyao Imperial Palace.

.....

“You can’t blame me just because your daughter was killed in the Forbidden Forest, Lord Shao,” Emperor Bai Guowei replied firmly. “Your daughter wasn’t the only one killed in the forest, and it wasn’t even me who killed her. She was killed by the Three-Headed Snake, and you know that I don’t have the power to control the beasts of the Forbidden Forest, right?”

Bai Guowei seemed confident in his reasoning, but Shao Yaoting just sneered at him again, “I know that my daughter was not the only one killed during the event, but she was with your son at that time. Yet, she was the only one killed during the battle against the Three-Headed Snake when your son is safe.”

Shao Yaoting’s dark eyes shifted towards Bai Renshu who had been silent all this time, and it seemed that the man had suddenly blamed the young man as well.

Even Bai Renshu looked startled when he realized that Shao Meihui’s father even blamed him, and he immediately replied, “Are you saying that I colluded with my father to kill your daughter, Lord Shao?”

Bai Renshu was quite offended by the man’s statement, but he still questioned the older man politely, knowing that the man was Shao Meihui’s father and that he should respect him.

Unfortunately, Shao Yaoting seemed to be blinded by his hatred for the White Werewolf Clan, and he didn’t even care about the relationship between his daughter and the man when he returned, “Everything is possible, Your Highness. We checked the surveillance device yesterday, and we could see that you were with my daughter since the two of you entered the forest. You and my daughter even entered a cave together, and even if there were no surveillance devices in the cave, I can guess what kind of embarrassing things you did to my daughter when you were in the cave.”

There were indeed surveillance devices stationed at several points in the Forbidden Forest. Although the number was limited, and they could not cover every activity in the forest, they could still provide important information regarding Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui when they were in the forest.

Now, even Bai Renshu knew that he was indeed suspicious because he had always been by Shao Meihui’s side even though they had no relationship whatsoever in people’s eyes, and that was why he could only remain silent after hearing Shao Yaoting’s attack.

“And you also have a wife, Your Highness,” Shao Yaoting countered with another attack while continuing to scowl at the Crown Prince. “You already have a wife, but you purposely clung to my daughter when you were in the Forbidden Forest. You probably have bad intentions for her, right? If you try to defend yourself by saying that you stayed with her because you love her, I’m not going to accept that kind of answer because it sounds like bullshit to me. If you really loved her, then you wouldn’t have married someone else and chose to leave her instead.”

“...” Bai Renshu was still speechless, and his jaw even tightened when he heard how the older man doubted his sincerity for Shao Meihui.

Even after witnessing how he looked like he would go crazy after Shao Meihui died in the forest, Shao Yaoting still doubted his love for the girl, but he also couldn’t do anything to prove his feelings. Even the beautiful girl was no longer in the world, so he knew that he couldn’t ask the girl’s testimony to defend himself in front of Shao Yaoting.

“But actually I also suspect someone other than Emperor Bai Guowei and Crown Prince Bai Renshu,” Shao Yaoting suddenly spoke again, and this time, he turned his gaze towards Emperor Wu Shun who was standing beside him. “Besides them, I also suspect Prince Wu Jinhai of the Wu Li Empire.”
