Chapter 605: The King’s Fury!

Translator: Rain Editor: Chrissy

Crown Prince was trembling. His teeth were quivering. and he couldn’t manage to say even a word.

The officials in the court all stared at him.

”Say it! Why don’t you talk?” The king suddenly shouted like thunder, ”Tell me! Why?”

Crown Prince was totally limp and feeble on the floor.

[Second Prince had powerful supports. Second Prince was overwhelming! Father, you like him a lot! I felt in danger…] These were his reasons, but he couldn’t say a word of it now.

He didn’t dare to.

”You all. Tell me. Why? Who can solve this puzzle for me?” The king looked around the officials, vigorous and domineering.

The officials were all frightened. They all got down on their knees and kowtowed, ”We are guilty! We deserve death!”

The King was gasping. He shouted, ”Why guilty? Why die? You think I can’t put you all on penalty? Minister Zuo! Mei Jianli was your student! Tell me, why did he work with Crown Prince on treason? Give me a reason! Grand Tutor! Qu Wuqi is your son-in-law. Tell me, why would he betray me? Grand Preceptor! Lan Zhongxin is your student. Tell me!”

The old guys all kneeled on the floor with sweat on their forehead. They were scared the hell out.

They thought only Prime Minister Zuo was in trouble, yet they all were…

What a bad luck…

Prime Minister Zuo complained in his heart. [I have been the chief examiner for so many times in my life. I can’t even remember it. Over a dozen for sure. Each time I sat there as the chief examiner, I would have dozens more students. Over a dozen times being the chief examiner, I have a great group of students.]

[How the fxck did I know which of them would commit treason years later?]

[You actually blame me on that? Mei Jianli? Who the hell is Mei Jianli? I barely know that guy! Maybe he said hello to me several times, but I never even answered him!]

Grand Tutor, [My daughter got married fxcking twenty-five years ago. How would I know her husband would commit treason!]

Grant Preceptor Song, [I sat on the chair of chief examiner more frequently than the old Prime Minister Zuo! I have so many students… Lan Zhongxin… Who the hell is he? Do I know him?]

”Don’t tell me anything about guilt and death again! You three! Take the order! Dig this case out thoroughly!” The king stood up and slapped on the table. ”Give me a reason why they commit treason! If you fail to give me the answer, you will bear the same charge for treason!”

[What?]

[Is he out of his mind?]

The three old men were stunned. They really didn’t know what to say anymore.

[Treason… What more reason does it need?]

”Your majesty… Your majesty…” The three old men were stunned. ”I… I really…”

The King stood up in fury and walked down the stage. He didn’t stop when he passed the Crown Prince.

Crown Prince saw his father’s yellow robe moved over him, and he shouted like a mad man, ”Father… Father… Please, I can explain…”

The king finally stopped.

He stood right at the door of the hall, with his back on the court, facing the splendid sunlight. He spoke in a deep voice, ”You don’t need to say anything! You can only disgust me!”

”I don’t want to see you again!”

Crown Prince felt extremely cold.

He knew it now.

His father knew everything about it! He had all the evidence! He must also know the other things which was even more disgusting than committing treason!

Disgusting!

Crown Prince shouted and spat out blood. He passed out on the floor of the court.
