The Eternal Emperor's expression was dark as he looked at Mo Yunxian and the others kneeling before him.
"Greetings, Emperor." Mo You and the others understood the situation and hurriedly kowtowed.
Mo Yunxian saw that Ling Yan did not seem to notice her and could only obediently bow to the Emperor at Mo You's signal.
"The lot of you are truly audacious. After entering the Ministry of Punishments, you actually left without our permission." The Eternal Emperor Monarch's voice was filled with displeasure.
Mo You and the others broke out in a cold sweat. After he and Mo Yunxian had been locked up in the Ministry of Punishments, they had discovered that Wu Liang and the others were also in the Ministry of Punishments' dungeon. Most of them had been imprisoned in the past two days after committing crimes.
Before Mo You could ask any questions, Mo Yunxian had revealed her identity and led them out of the Ministry of Punishments.
Wu Liang and the others had been somewhat worried, but they had felt that the reason for their mishap was very strange. They had wanted to investigate the matter earlier and had left.
In the end, they had been outside for a few days but had not found any clues.
"Your Majesty, please be merciful. We were wrong." Now that the Eternal Emperor had summoned them to court, everyone knew that something was wrong.
"Mo Yunxian, who gave you the ability to leave with a prisoner?" The Eternal Emperor's gaze suddenly fell on Mo Yunxian. Although Mo Yunxian was the daughter of a general, she was not qualified.
Mo Yunxian's face was pale, but she braced herself and said, "Your Majesty, I left because there was a reason."
"What reason?"
"That day, things happened very strangely. I felt that something was wrong, so I didn't leave and wanted to get to the bottom of it." Mo Yunxian did not think that there was anything wrong with her thinking. She had found it strange that the three people had suddenly appeared and then died.
"Then did you find out anything?" The Eternal Emperor asked, his tone uncertain.
Mo Yunxian opened her mouth but pursed her lips and shook her head.
The Eternal Emperor laughed coldly. "Mo Yunxian, you were rash and impetuous at the banquet. I spared you on account of your father, but you refused to repent. Do you really think you can be so lawless? Why do you need to investigate such a matter? Do you think that everyone in the Ministry of Punishments is dead?! "
The Eternal Emperor growled, his anger evident.
Mo Yunxian and the others panicked.
The Eternal Emperor could not be bothered with Mo Yunxian and the others. He turned to look at Ling Yan.
"Ling Yan, you've heard what happened today. What explanation do you have?"
At that instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Ling Yan.
The two major crimes today were directly pinned on Ling Yan. If it was true, Ling Yan's royal status would be erased, not to mention his position as Crown Prince.
The Eldest Prince was in an extremely good mood. He was waiting to see Ling Yan's downfall.
Although the embezzlement of the disaster relief funds could not be carried out flawlessly due to the lack of time, and Ling Yan might be able to find a way out, he could not resolve the matter of Ling Yan's trusted aide stirring up trouble.
The First Prince and Second Princess had put in a lot of effort to trap Mo You and the others. Even if the Eternal Emperor had his suspicions and investigated the identities of the dead, he would not find anything amiss.
In addition …
Mo Yunxian's act of leaving the Ministry of Justice without permission had really done them a favor.
