”Zuo Shaochen, did you really do this?” Emperor An cursed in his heart. He held tightly onto the armrest and looked at Zuo Shaochen who was kneeling down.
In that instant, Zuo Shaochen thought of many things. In the end, he clenched his teeth, and met Emperor An's forced gaze: ”Yes, it was this humble subject's doing, it had nothing to do with father.”
”Why are you doing this?” Emperor An clenched his teeth tightly, he could only feel pain coming from his teeth.
Even if he were to shoulder the responsibility of the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion persecuting Fifth Prince's Wife and the princess of the Bei Yue, this matter would still affect the Prime Minister's Mansion, or perhaps the people around it.
With one of the crown prince's Prime Minister's Mansion missing, this triangle-shaped power would lose its balance.
However, how could he just turn a blind eye in front of everyone?
”This humble subject only wants to harm Su Li alone. If not for her, this humble subject's cousins would not have met with calamity. If not for her, grandmother would not have gotten so sick from losing two of her grandchildren.”
”Your majesty, please spare the life of a child. On the account of this humble subject having worked diligently for so many years, please spare the life of his majesty.” The Prime Minister staggered out of the crowd and knelt on the ground, screaming for mercy.
”Emperor Nanling, this was originally a matter of your country. It is not easy for me to get involved, but when he planned to harm people, he also harmed my sister. If I lost this match, I ask Emperor Nanling to give me an explanation.” Luo Chuge said with a strong tone.
”father, is there any misunderstanding?” Mo Lianxuan ignored Su Qianyan's secretly obstructing words, he walked out a few steps and said repeatedly, ”father, please investigate further, Shaochen has always been warm and will not do such filthy things. Could it be that some people want to throw the dirty water onto this son of mine through Shaochen?”
Emperor An frowned, his eyes gloomy.
Mo Lianjin said indifferently, ”The crown prince wants to pretend to be deaf, and is unable to hear what Zuo Shaochen has just said?”
”You …” Only now did Mo Lianxuan remember that Zuo Shaochen had already confessed. His words just now actually seemed to be a shield.
”Everyone says that Prime Minister Zuo is a pillar of the Kingdom, but he just had to bring up such a good son like Zuo Shaochen. Murdering a royal family or an envoy from another country, that is a crime that involves the destruction of the nine clans.”
The Prime Minister's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He pressed his forehead against the ground and said with a trembling voice, ”Your Majesty, please spare my life …”
”father, Zuo Cheng is a man of service and wishes to share the burden of father. I hope father can make way for us and let us off this easily.” Mo Lianxuan was in a difficult position, he could only listen to what he had said and kneeled down, begging for mercy on behalf of the Left Prime Minister's family.
The moment he knelt, Su Qianyan and the rest of the Su Family also followed suit.
Mo Lianjin's eyes were cold, carrying a terrifying killing intent.
”The witness and evidence of this matter are all here. As the crown prince, he should have been the one to take responsibility. He should have been fair and just. This bowl of water was unfair, how was he going to lead the South Spirit in the future? How can I convince the people? ”
Mo Lianxuan anxiously asked, ”The Left Prime Minister is someone who can support others. If he leaves the palace just like that, who would be able to take on such a heavy responsibility?”
Mo Lianjin sneered, there was no warmth in his eyes, ”As for anything else, this king does not know, and does not want to know either. This king only knows that there is someone who wants to harm Su Li, and this king wants him to pay with his life!”
”Emperor Nan Ling, if Nan Ling truly does not have the sincerity to discuss the matter of forming a nation with the Bei Yue, then I will lead people and take my leave.” Luo Chuge kicked him in, and followed Mo Lianjin to force Emperor An.
The Emperor An stood up, ”Men, escort Zuo Shaochen back to the capital immediately, remove Zuo Cheng. After the Zuo family returned to the capital first, they are not allowed to leave the house without orders. After the seven days of hunting have ended, we will return to the capital and make our decision.”
”Yes.”
The people from the Zuo family fell to the ground, their faces pale.
Mo Lianxuan clenched his fists tightly, and watched as his Imperial Guard took him away.
”I believe that Emperor Nan Ling will give an explanation to the Bei Yue, so let's not bring this up for now.”
Mo Lianjin did not speak anymore, and walked over to Su Li in a few steps, ”This son and Su Li will take his leave first.”
After saying that, without waiting for his reply, he turned around and left …
