Chapter 1182 - : A Plot (2) (1/2)

The middle-aged man was still wailing for the Sacred Dragon Emperor to save him. Everyone’s gaze was now concentrated on the Sacred Dragon Emperor, as if speculating on the relations.h.i.+p between this man and the Sacred Dragon Emperor.

Drops of cold sweat fell from the Sacred Dragon Emperor’s brow. He involuntarily glanced at the Grand Tutor, Xing Hun, but realized that Xing Hun was staring at him with a thought-provoking expression. He was immediately even more frightened.

He was just thinking of trying to explain matters when Xing Hun turned his gaze to the middle-aged man kneeling before him.

“Who are you? If you continue to make so much noise, I will have no choice but to ask someone to extract a confession by torture.” Xing Hun’s voice was as cold as ice and when the crowd heard it, seemed to be filled with dignity.

The middle-aged man had begged the Sacred Dragon Emperor for a long time without receiving any response. As if he had given up, he collapsed onto the ground. He looked at the sharp-eyed Xing Hun with a pale face, and quiveringly spoke. “I… I am a servant in the crown prince’s residence.”

“A servant in the crown prince’s residence?” Xing Hun frowned slightly.

The man seemed to be terrified. He scrambled to kneel on the ground and kowtowed continually to Xing Hun. “Please, Grand Tutor, spare my life. Grand Tutor, spare my life. I know nothing. I was only following the crown prince’s instructions to wait outside the door. I… I have done nothing.”

With those words, they could hear a collective gasp from the birthday banquet!

The crown prince had actually ordered someone to wait outside the Grand Tutor’s residence. What was he planning to do?

One should know that once the birthday banquet started, the main door to the Grand Tutor’s residence would be shut, and they allowed no one to enter. Even if the crown prince had ordered someone to wait for him, he should not be furtively prowling around outside the entrance.

Various suspicions arose in everyone’s heart. They directed the looks at the Sacred Dragon Emperor became increasingly speculative.
