The two students were very scared. They had never seen such a scene before. They trembled and crawled on the ground.
Paul looked at the two of them and said, "Are you both students of the academy?"
"Yes, I'm Yu Ping, and he's Bo Tong."
One of the students mustered up his courage and said.
Paul nodded and didn't say anything else.
Wang Qing said, "Speak, tell me everything you know. There can't be any lies!"
"Yes!"
Yu Ping replied and became a little bolder. He immediately recounted the process of Yang Qingxuan beating Andrew. He spoke very carefully, including all the details, including Yang Qingxuan's arrogant appearance and Andrew's appearance when he was beaten.
All the courtiers were enraged when they heard this. They all shouted, "How can this be!", "This is lawless!", "He must be sentenced to death!"
Wang Qing and Zuo Ming looked at each other and smiled slightly.
Wang Qing said, "Yu Ping, is there a single lie in what you said?"
Yu Ping hurriedly said, "I wouldn't dare. Bo Tong can testify." “
The student next to him also nodded firmly.
The officials were even more furious. They originally thought that Andrew was accidentally beaten, but they didn't expect it to be so embarrassing. It was simply trampling on the dignity of the royal family.
Bo Tong was anxious. He looked at Blue Sun, but Blue Sun also shook his head slightly, as if there was nothing he could do. With these testimonies, Yang Qingxuan was undoubtedly sentenced to death. It was impossible to escape.
Andrew's face was also very gloomy. He thought to himself, "Yang Qingxuan risked his life to fight for Cherry. Even if I die, I will protect him to the end!"
He immediately stood up and clasped his fists. "Your Majesty, these two brats spoke so vividly. It's obvious that they had planned it. Cherry also participated in the inner courtyard examination and was with Prince Yuan the whole time. She didn't say anything about this. I think there must be something wrong. "
Andrew thought for a while. The only way was to insist that this matter was fake. Otherwise, once it was confirmed, Yang Qingxuan would definitely die.
Wang Qing coldly said, "Prince Jin's words are wrong. There were hundreds and thousands of people who participated in the assessment at that time. All of them can prove that what these two said is true."
Yu Ping and Bao Tong nodded, confirming that what they said was true.
Qing Buli suddenly asked, "Were you two in the ancient temple during the inner courtyard exam?"
The two of them stared blankly for a moment before replying in unison, "Yes."
Qing Buli nodded. "If it was proven that Yang Qingxuan saved your lives in the ancient palace, would you betray him now?"
The two of them turned pale and were speechless. Being reprimanded by Wu Of Gojoseon in front of their faces made them break out in cold sweat.
Qing Buli said coolly, "If what you say is true, then betraying your savior is a violation of martial ethics. From now on, don't call yourselves students of Heavenly Consort Academy. Our academy cannot afford to lose face like this. If what you said is false, then deceiving the emperor is a capital offense. "
The two of them turned pale and sat on the ground.
Wang Qing coldly said, "Lord Wu Of Gojoseon is talking about another matter. It has nothing to do with whether Yang Qingxuan beat up Prince Yuan or not, right?"
Qing Buli glanced at him and said coldly, "Did I say it has anything to do with it?"
"This …"
Wang Qing suffered a loss, but he didn't dare to contradict Qing Buli. He only felt that he was asking for trouble and groaned.
Andrew said, "Lord Wu Of Gojoseon's words are reasonable. These two are either full of lies and have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, or they are heartless people who have betrayed the emperor. Such despicable people have no right to testify!"
"We, we …"
Yu Ping and Bao Tong were both anxious.
Wang Qing gave them a look, telling them to calm down. He cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to prove whether what these two said is true or false, let Prince Yuan come out and say it. Wouldn't it be clear?"
Andrew's face changed drastically. If Prince Yuan was called out, everything would be over. His eyes were filled with anxiety as he looked at Qing Buli for help. However, Qing Buli's face was still calm, as if he didn't care.
Andrew thought to himself, "What is this old fox thinking? He's actually so calm. I don't believe that he doesn't care about Yang Qingxuan's life and death. "
Su Yu had been sitting upright with his eyes closed. Only a sliver of light could be seen through his eyes. His face was expressionless. No one could guess what he was thinking.
Wang Qing said, "Your Majesty, I'll get someone to invite Prince Yuan over."
Su Yu opened his eyes and said indifferently, "No need. I've heard some rumors about this matter. I've asked Prince Yuan, and he said that there's no such thing."
"Ah?!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Especially Wang Qing and Zuo Ming. Their faces suddenly changed. They looked at each other and guessed what was going on. They couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
Regardless of whether this matter was true or not, since Su Yu had spoken, it meant that there was no such thing.
If they forcefully found proof and said that there was such a thing, it would obviously make Su Yu unhappy.
The two of them had been with the emperor for many years, so they naturally understood this principle.
Wang Qing took the first step and his face immediately changed. He shouted, "Good, you two little bastards, how dare you lie to me!"
"We, we didn't!"
Yu Ping and Bao Tong hurriedly shouted. They lost their sense of propriety and were so anxious that they were covered in cold sweat. They shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we definitely didn't lie. What we said just now was true!"
Su Yu's face darkened. A wave of pressure emitted from his body. He said coldly, "Then you mean that I'm lying?"
"This, I …"
The two of them were speechless. They immediately realized that it wasn't that the emperor didn't know whether it was true or not, but after the emperor made the conclusion, this matter was false.
"President, President, save us."
Yu Ping's face turned pale. When he thought of the crime of lying to the emperor, he wanted to cry.
Qing Buli said indifferently, "I just said that you're no longer students of the academy. Don't call me president, this old man can't afford it." He cupped his fists at the two.
The two of them felt their hearts drop to the bottom of the valley and their hands and feet turn cold.
Bao Tong suddenly shouted, "Run!"
Before he could finish his words, his body had already dashed seven to eight feet away, and fled out of the main hall.
Yu Ping followed closely behind.
In the imperial court, all the ministers looked on coldly. If the two students were to escape, it would be the biggest joke in the world.
The two had just reached the door when a figure in full armor appeared. It was the imperial guard commander, Hou Mingyi. He pushed his hands forward and a mountain-toppling momentum pressed down.
Bang! Bang!
Two explosions rang out. The two grunted and spat out mouthfuls of blood as they were sent flying.
Hou Mingyi was expressionless. He made a grabbing motion with both hands and a powerful suction force appeared out of nowhere. The two of them were pulled back before they hit the ground and flung out of the hall. Thud, thud, thud. No one knew if they were dead or alive.
Inside the hall, Wang Qing and Zuo Ming's faces were pale and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
