He asked even though he already knew the answer. Without waiting for Chu You to answer, he continued, From Gu Ce to the commoners, almost everyone in Tailing City is dead.

This doesnt look like a city ma.s.sacre, but like its hiding something? As he spoke, the smile on Imperial Duke Weis lips deepened a little, and his voice was sharp. What do you think?

His gaze pierced Chu You like a sharp sword, as if he was reprimanding, questioning, and probing.

At this moment, Imperial Duke Wei didnt suppress his aura at all. It was as invincible as Mount Tai pressing down.

Everyone was silent as they watched the confrontation between Kang w.a.n.g and Imperial Duke Wei.

To put it bluntly, this wasnt just a win or loss between the two of them. It also involved the aristocratic family behind Kang w.a.n.g, as well as the Emperor and the Eldest Prince behind Imperial Duke Wei.

How dare you! Chu Yous face darkened, and his veins popped.

The candlelight from the lantern reflected on Chu Yous well-defined face. His tall nose cast a shadow on one cheek, making him look sinister. His eyes were even colder than the night.

His well-defined chin raised slightly, and his voice became even colder. Wei Seng, in order to exonerate Gu Ce, youre spouting nonsense. Do you still want to wrong me?!

Imperial Duke Wei continued to look at Chu You and didnt retreat at all. He said firmly, Since you feel wronged, why dont you allow me to bring up this case again?

Whether what Yu Cunzheng said is true or not, you havent verified it yet. Why deny it?!

Chu You was speechless for a moment and narrowed his eyes dangerously. Hmph! Xiao Shoufu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly walked to Chu Yous side, clearly on the same side as him. Imperial Duke Wei, treason is treason. The two countries have long come to a conclusion. Facts speak louder than words! Why do you disregard right and wrong and distort the truth?! Have you concluded it long ago, or do you want to make amends?! Imperial Duke Wei was more than half a head taller than Xiao Shoufu. When he approached Xiao Shoufu, his tall shadow cast an oppressive pressure on him.

If he overturned the case just like that, wouldnt that mean that every criminal would come to clamor that they were wronged and request to overturn the case?! Xiao Shoufu still refused to relent and said confidently, Imperial Duke Wei, thieves wont admit that theyre thieves!

Well said. A thief wont admit that hes a thief, and Kang w.a.n.g wont admit that hes guilty! Imperial Duke Wei sneered. If hes not guilty, why doesnt he allow this case to be investigated again?

In my opinion, Kang w.a.n.g must be hiding something!

These two people were both influential figures in the royal court. At this moment, both sides stood on their sides and didnt give in to each other.

No one could convince the other party, and no one was willing to show weakness.

w.a.n.g Nan looked at Yu Cunzheng in a daze and couldnt say a word for a long time.

Over the years, he had always firmly believed that Gu Ce was guilty. However, ever since Yu Cunzheng appeared, a crack had appeared in his originally rock-hard determination.

Yu Cunzheng was a deserter. According to the law, deserters should be executed. Just as Kang w.a.n.g had said, Yu Cunzheng also needed to make a contribution in order to escape punishment.

However, w.a.n.g Nan knew Yu Cunzheng. On the battlefield, they had also used their lives to cover for each other. Because of their old relations.h.i.+p, he didnt believe that Yu Cunzheng was the kind of person Kang w.a.n.g was talking about. What was the truth nine years ago?!

With a creak, the originally tightly shut door of the south study opened, interrupting the sparking atmosphere.

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the south study and saw the Emperor walk out.

Everyone shut their mouths and fell silent.

Suppressing the thousands of thoughts in their hearts, including w.a.n.g Nan and Yu Cun, everyone bowed in unison.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

The door to the south study was open. When everyone lowered their heads, they could vaguely see the corner of a green s.h.i.+rt. Even if they only saw a corner, a few people guessed that Eldest Princess Feng Yang was also inside. The Emperor stood with his hands behind his back. The five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with gold thread on his bright yellow dragon robe shone in the moonlight and light.

Ive heard everything you said just now. The Emperor slowly stroked his beard and said, Since both sides have their own opinions and its difficult to decide on a move, lets treat it as investigating the Yangzhou case nine years ago.

Whether Gu Ce betrayed the country or the Seventh Brother is hiding something, we should investigate clearly. I wont wrong any innocent person. Grand Secretary, dont you think so?

The Emperor looked at Xiao Shoufu with a smile. His expression was as gentle as ever. He smiled slightly, but he had the aura and strength of an emperor that couldnt be refuted..
