Dugu Zongheng’s round eyes widened, just like a mountain bear He then cupped his hands and spoke in a coarse voice “Your Majesty, the assassination attempt on the Imperial Princess and the officials of the Imperial Court is indeed a national situation that could cripple the foundations of our kingdo… Senior Duke Jun Zhantian was quick and decisive in his actions, thus succeeding in averting this terrible disaster! This old one thinks that Senior Jun’s actions this time is not a mistake! He is not only innocent; he has also earned hi amount of merit!”
A thin oldbeside him sneered “After this traitor defied the authority of the ministers and disrupted the Imperial Court’s affairs, he is lauded as someone who earned himself a merit? If this is how the I despised by the people of the world?”
This thin old man with barely any flesh on his body and a sheep like beard is one of the threeLast night, his house suffered the highest level of dahis own fa capital in the ht to eat the cold air and sleep under the starry skies of the night The amount of suffocation he felt nearly caused hi these twoblack and white, he was unable to hold it in and stepped forward
