As expected.

While Wu was handling the case of Ye Pianpian being nearly assaulted by Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming testified before witnesses from the Lianwang Mansion.

He admitted what he had done.

But he looked completely fearless.

Wu should rebuke.

"Zhou Ming, do you now admit your guilt?!"

Zhou Ming looked fearless.

"I admit my guilt!"

Then came a sentence.

"So what?"

Wu Ying frowned.

"Don't you know the consequences of your actions?!"

"I know! It's nothing more than being exiled thousands of miles away for twenty years!"

"Lord Wu! Do you really think I would be afraid of such punishment?"

Wu Ying frowned.

"What? Do you think you can escape?"

"If I weren't so confident, why would I be so arrogant?!"

Wu Ying coldly replied.

"Zhou Ming! You have shown contempt for me, the judge, and for the court! You have disregarded the crimes you have committed!"

"Based on these points alone, I can sentence you to an even heavier sentence!"

"Don't even mention twenty years! I can add thirty years to your sentence!"

Zhou Ming sneered.

Add whatever you like!

"Even if you add my entire future to the equation, I don't care at all!"

"Wu Ying! Don't forget who's behind me!"

Wu Ying said it casually.

"I know that you are the only son of Prince Zhou. However, even princes are subject to the same laws as commoners!"

"Even if Prince Zhou pleads for you, I will completely ignore him!"

Zhou Ming shrugged.

"Who asked that old geezer to plead for me!"

"I don't want his pleas! I want his life!"

Wu Ying forcefully slammed the gavel!

"Zhou Ming! Prince Zhou is your biological father! How dare you try to kill him!"

Zhou Ming remained indifferent.

"It wasn't me who wanted to kill him, it was him who wanted to kill himself!"

"Twenty years of exile, that old geezer would never let me suffer!"

"The only way to save me is for him to commit suicide!"

"Then hand over the throne to me! At that time, the sentence you imposed on me today will be null and void!"

"How about it, Wu Ying? I'm afraid you're at your wit's end!"

Wu Yingdao.

"Zhou Ming, your idea of ​​escaping legal punishment is indeed perfect!"

"However, Prince Zhou is still alive! Therefore, you will be exiled!"

"etc!"

At that very moment.

The steward of the Prince Zhou's mansion led a group of people in carrying a corpse.

"Just a quarter of an hour ago! Lord Zhou committed suicide!"

"Now, Zhou Ming should rightfully inherit the throne from the old Prince Zhou!"

Wu Ying was taken aback.

He immediately got downstairs.

Lift the white cloth.

It really was the corpse of Prince Zhou.

Wu Ying frowned.

He let out a heavy sigh.

"Prince Zhou, why are you doing this?"

"Do you know that what you've saved isn't just one person at all!"

After Zhou Ming saw the body of Prince Zhou.

I didn't feel anything.

Instead, they became smug.

"See? I already told you!"

"That damned old man definitely couldn't stand to see me being exiled!"

"I was prepared from the start, so you'll die in my place!"

"How about it? How many of you can have the good fortune I have?!"

"So what if you're the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review! So what if you hate me to death!"

"In the end, we still have to obediently follow the late emperor's orders!"

"From this moment forward, I am Prince Zhou! The late Emperor has bestowed upon Prince Zhou immense honor!"

"As long as I haven't killed anyone, no punishment can be applied to me!"

"Wu Ying! Why don't you immediately declare me innocent!"

Wu Ying clenched his fists.

first.

He felt powerless.

but.

The late emperor's decree came first.

He had no choice but to obey.

Wu Ying had no choice but to sit back down and announce the verdict.

"Because Zhou Ming's current identity is Prince Zhou!"

"But he didn't kill anyone!"

The charge of exile is dropped!

"Release them on site!"

When this result came out...

The people condemned the injustice.

"This is so unfair!"

"Ye Pianpian was almost assaulted, but could she only watch helplessly as Zhou Ming was acquitted?!"

"If the late Emperor were alive today, seeing his own niece being harmed like this by an outsider, I wonder if he would regret the favor he bestowed upon the Prince of Zhou back then!"

"Alas, I feel utterly powerless! Even the Emperor can't do anything about Zhou Ming!"

"Is there really no one who can punish Zhou Ming?!"

“Zhou Ming is not the same Prince Zhou as before.”

"He will not be like his father, grateful for the late emperor's favor and obeying the law."

"I'm afraid that once he becomes a prince, he will commit all sorts of evil deeds!"

"In that case, it will be us ordinary people who suffer!"

Even the king was deeply saddened.

His beloved daughter was hurt, but he was powerless to protect her.

The news reached the palace.

Xu Qingzhi was also helpless.

"If the late emperor could appear and directly order Zhou Ming to be killed, how wonderful that would be."

Xu Qingzhi looked at Ye Qianqian.

Originally, I was hoping that Ye Qianqian could come up with a way to resolve this matter.

However.

Ye Qianqian sat on the bed with her eyes closed.

They were making strange gestures with their hands.

I don't know what they're doing.

Ah, this is a bit difficult!
