"I do, I do!"

"Father-in-law..."

Shamuha was so shocked by this sudden change that he didn't even finish reading the letter Liang Jiugong showed him.

Listening to the people around him confidently accusing him of things he had never done, Shamuha felt dizzy. He looked at these people who usually flattered him with bloodshot eyes.

"You are slandering me! You...you..."

Shamuha finally ran out of breath, rolled his eyes and fainted.

Seeing this, Liang Jiugong called out two imperial guards to hold Shamuha up, and then said to the others,

"I have heard what you have said, my lords. I have already prepared refreshments in the side hall of Wenhua Palace. Please follow Xiao Fuzi. I will be there soon."

As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone rushed to get up from the ground. Even Hai Lin, who had been unconscious for a long time, was pulled up by the people next to him. They supported each other and walked towards the side hall of Wenhua Palace.

Only Chen Tingjing still knelt there stubbornly, refusing to move at all.

Liang Jiugong seemed to have expected this and did not urge him to get up. After everyone had gone away, Liang Jiugong spoke.

"Master Chen..."

"Don't say more, eunuch. You can always find a pretext to accuse me! I am upright and honest. If the emperor wants my life, then take it! As long as I am still alive, I will never give in!"

The smile on Liang Jiugong's face deepened.

"Master Chen has misunderstood me... Please come with me. His Majesty has been waiting for you in the main hall for a long time."
