had strong evidence provided by the second prince hih to prove that the Fan family and possibly even Liu's family had a connection to the horrible Bao Yue brothel

The censors re Even though the Fan family had sent away Fan Sizhe, sold off the Bao Yue brothel and had the Emperor already absolve them of their crimes, the evidence they now available would rievous price And so, they waited for the cocky Overwatch Council commissioner to show up and aduilt and shame before them

The most disappointed people had to be the censors ere kneeling at the gate If they said they were sick and not co the atmosphere was, there was

was, there was no point in the Their hearts were all swiftly eround and mournfully disbanded Even their unifor to their bodies with no care for the wind that wished to flag their clothing

Hurow up; they are not superhuman No one was immune to sickness, but the Fan's father and son had both becoht the they were bed-ridden, which was a little strange, especially since Fan Xian was Fei Jie's student Although he was not an official doctor, even the royal doctors in the palace knew of their et sick all of a sudden?
