The Eternal Emperor's expression was extremely ugly to behold. He immediately ordered his men to drag the city officials away and interrogate them.
In just a moment, the officials who could not withstand the torture spilled the beans. They admitted that they had accepted bribes from Ling Yan, and that was why they had helped Ling Yan put up a false front.
The Eternal Emperor was furious when he heard this.
"Ling Yan! Is this your doing? "The Eternal Emperor shouted coldly as he looked at Ling Yan, his eyes filled with annoyance and anger.
Ling Yan's expression was indifferent as he faced the enraged Emperor.
"Royal Father! The Crown Prince was still young when he went to provide disaster relief. Perhaps he was in the wrong, but please forgive him this time on account of his youth and ignorance. "The Eldest Prince suddenly stepped forward and knelt before the Eternal Emperor, pleading loudly for Ling Yan's life.
The corners of Ye Qingtang's mouth twitched as she watched the Eldest Prince's brotherly behavior.
The Eldest Prince was not too stupid after all.
On the surface, he was pleading on Ling Yan's behalf. But in reality, he was accusing Ling Yan of embezzling the disaster relief funds, lying to the Emperor, and falsifying his merits.
This was a good show, one after another, all aimed at Ling Yan's life.
Ye Qingtang was engrossed in the show when she suddenly noticed that Ling Yan, who was standing in front of her, seemed to inadvertently glance over her.
She did not know whether it was because she was guilty, but she felt as if Ling Yan had discovered her.
That shouldn't be the case …
She instinctively touched her rough skin after her disguise. Then she stroked his mustache to comfort herself.
But before the Eternal Emperor could speak again, the guards who had left the palace to arrest them returned. They brought back Mo You, Wu Liang, and the others who had left the Ministry of Justice.
Even Mo Yunxian, who had yet to recover from her injuries, was brought back.
"Let go of me." Mo Yunxian frowned unhappily as she felt the pain from the guards' grip.
Mo You and the others were escorted to the palace. When they saw the Eternal Emperor's guards personally come to arrest them, they had already sensed that something was wrong. Now, when they saw the strange atmosphere in the court, their unease reached a peak.
Mo You wanted to warn Mo Yunxian not to speak carelessly, but he was being held back and had no way to speak.
Everyone knelt down in the main hall.
Mo Yunxian's expression was ugly. Ever since she had left the Ministry of Justice, her injuries had worsened. She had been recuperating in her residence for several days and had not gone to see Ling Yan.
Now that she suddenly saw Ling Yan in the hall, Mo Yunxian's face lit up. Unaware of what was happening, Mo Yunxian instinctively said to Ling Yan, "Why are you here?
"Big Brother Yan …"
Ling Yan's gaze did not shift at all. It was as though he had not heard Mo Yunxian's voice or seen her appear.
Ye Qingtang looked at the pampered Miss Mo and couldn't help but shake her head.
Mo Yunxian had probably been spoiled rotten by General Mo. Now, in the court, she had ignored the Emperor and directly called for Ling Yan …
Her brain couldn't have been damaged by Ming Gu's strike, right?
Seeing that everyone had gathered in the hall, she could not help but look up at Ling Yan.
He was the one who had asked her to help the First Prince come up with a plan. Now, whether or not he could get through this was all up to him.
Perhaps because Ye Qingtang's gaze lingered on him for too long, Ling Yan turned his head indifferently. His gaze seemed to pass over Mo You and the rest who were kneeling in the main hall, but when his gaze passed over Ye Qingtang, his gaze paused for a moment, and there seemed to be an undetectable smile in his eyes.
