Chapter 761: House Arrest (Part 1)

It's raining heavily.

The air inside the Qiyuan Hall was frozen.

Xiao Chenglin looked directly at Emperor Mu Wu. "I have been frail since childhood, living in seclusion and always behaving properly. I wonder why Lord Fan would slander me like this. As for the matter between him and Lord Zheng, I have no idea. I beg Your Majesty to investigate and clear my name!"

Emperor Muwu looked at Fan Chengzhuo and said, "Prince Jing's words are not without reason. Fan Chengzhuo, do you have any evidence for what you just said?"

If it is just one-sided statement, it should not be believed.

Fan Chengzhuo was breathing rapidly.

evidence?

He had done so many shady things in the past that, just to be on the safe side, he would make sure again and again that no evidence was left.

Because he never thought that he was being plotted against from the very beginning!

But it's too late to understand now. How can he prove it based on his current situation?

Fan Chengzhuo remained silent for a long time and seemed to have nothing to say.

Xiao Chenglin added, "In that case, until the matter is thoroughly investigated, I am willing to stay in Prince Jing's mansion until the truth is revealed!"

He glanced at Fan Chengzhuo with a cold tone.

"If I am wronged and walk around the capital, I will willingly ask to be confined to my home!"

The attitude is firm and the tone is confident.

On the contrary, Fan Chengzhuo seems to be the one who feels guilty.

So Fan Chengzhuo was also deeply stimulated by his words.

"you!"

Fan Chengzhuo uttered a hoarse voice,

"If it weren't for your instructions, why would I give up my bright future and do those things?"

This is also a point that many people do not understand.

What kind of interests and obsessions can make Fan Chengzhuo take such a risk?

He has no shortage of money and he also has power.

after all……

"It's all yours—"

“Report—!”

Before Fan Chengzhuo finished speaking, a palace servant came hurriedly to report from outside the hall, with a look of horror still on his face.

"Your Majesty! The prince of Dingbei Marquisate requests an audience!"

Emperor Mu Wu picked up the teacup, his brows furrowed slightly, "What's the matter with him?"

The palace maid didn't have time to wipe the rain off her face and stammered, "He, he said... he brought Princess Yuhe and came to see the emperor!"

Bang——!

The cup in Emperor Muwu's hand fell to the ground.

A rare look of shock crossed his face. "What!? He said...who!?"

Not only him, everyone in the hall was stunned.

Princess Yuhe?

Xiao Lanxi?

But wasn't she already dead before?!

Why now——

Ye Chutang turned his eyes slightly and glanced at Xiao Chenglin.

He stood there, his lips tightly pressed together, his emotions unrecognizable.

But compared to his frankness and calmness just now, he seemed to have a hint of anxiety at this moment.

"Let them in."

Emperor Mu Wu sat up straight, took a deep breath, tightened his hands on the armrest slightly, and his lips turned a little pale.

He raised his hand, as if he wanted to hit his chest, but he held it back.

Ye Chutang took in this scene and said softly, "Your Majesty's medicine is almost ready. Shall I bring it to you?"

Emperor Mu Wu paused and looked at her.

Their eyes met and he nodded slowly.

"good."

In fact, Emperor Mu Wu had used medicine before, but the situation today did not look good.

Not only did Fan Chengzhuo report Prince Jing Xiao Chenglin, but Xiao Lanxi, who had been dead for a long time, actually appeared again!

Even ordinary people might not be able to bear all of these things, let alone Emperor Mu Wu who was already in poor health?

Ye Chutang was just looking for an excuse to personally prepare medicine for him, just in case.

After saying that, Ye Chutang knelt down, saluted, turned around and walked out.

After leaving the Qiyuan Hall, she turned and walked towards the side hall.
