"Nonsense!"

Having said that, he immediately turned around, knelt down on both knees, and looked up at the emperor.

"Father, Song Yanqing is framing me. I beg you, Father, to do justice for me!"

The emperor was so angry that his eyes twitched. He tried to suppress his anger and looked at the civil and military officials whispering among themselves.

Finally, their gaze fell upon the kneeling Second Prince.

Before he could speak, Song Yanqing had someone hand him another memorial.

When the emperor heard that Song Yanqing had something else to report, he felt a lingering fear.

With trembling hands, he picked up the memorial that Li Dequan presented with both hands.

This time, the handwriting on the document was much clearer to him.

After he finished reading both documents, the corners of his mouth began to twitch involuntarily.

Just as Li Defu noticed that the emperor's expression was not right, he wanted to step forward to ask the emperor if he should dismiss the court and invite the imperial physician to examine him.

Song Yanqing then presented the emperor with a heart-saving pill, which he took in public.

Now the emperor's gaze was no longer fixed on his good-for-nothing princes.

Instead, he stared intently at Song Yanqing's face, even fearing that Song Yanqing would uncover more crimes.

Fortunately, a last shred of reason was still tugging at his last nerve.

The emperor slammed the two memorials heavily on the desk, and said, "Issue my decree: imprison the Second Prince in the Imperial Prison."

The remaining princes are immediately confined to their residences and are forbidden from stepping outside!

Finally, the emperor fixed his gaze on Song Yanqing's face, "The Second Prince's crimes must be investigated and clarified by the Prince of Libei's heir, and there must be no mistakes!"

Having said that, the emperor stopped looking at the civil and military officials in the hall, waved his sleeve, and walked out of the hall.

Seeing this, Li Defu shouted at the top of his lungs, "Dismiss the court!"

Then, following in the emperor's footsteps, they left the main hall together.
