At this point, they dared not bring up the matter of Du Jiaoniang being the daughter of a minor official. After all, if the emperor wanted to investigate, it would be impossible to hide it, so it was better to tell the truth.

"My dear minister, take a look!" The emperor, sitting on his high throne, showed no emotion whatsoever after hearing Li Zhan's words.

Instead, with an angry expression, he threw some evidence at Li Zhan.

When Li Zhan saw the letters lying in front of him, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Then, with a stiff expression, he picked it up with his hand.

Upon seeing the contents, a look of astonishment flashed across Li Zhandi's eyes, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

He never expected that the news circulating outside was true, and that the Emperor already had evidence!

Thinking of this, several lines of cold sweat rolled down Li Zhan's forehead.

"Your Majesty, I was unaware of this! Please forgive me!" Li Zhan said to the Emperor with a panicked expression, his voice trembling with fear.

"You deserve to die, taking in the descendants of enemy soldiers!"

"How many young men of our dynasty have died at the hands of the enemy! You, a general, have actually harbored people from an enemy country!" The emperor rebuked Li Zhan with a furious expression.

His voice was filled with intense anger.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I am guilty. Please forgive my mistakes." Li Zhan said in a panic after hearing the emperor's words.

His expression was very unpleasant.

You deserve to die!

"However, because you have previously rendered meritorious service to our dynasty, you may be spared the death penalty, but you will not escape punishment!"

"The land of Lingnan, three thousand miles away, will be your final resting place!" the emperor said coldly.

Upon hearing the emperor's fierce words, he felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and his face turned extremely ugly.

However, he managed to control his expression and thanked the emperor!
