"Hahaha!"

Leng Zian suddenly laughed out loud, the veins on his face exposed at this moment, and he replied in a cold voice:

"General Wu, are you trying to put the blame on me? I've already said that it was my men who came to welcome my son back to Yunnan. It was just that the show was a bit exaggerated, which led to misunderstandings."

"snort!"

Wu Hong snorted coldly, his face gloomy and he said in a cold voice:

"Prince Zhennan is truly capable of conflating right and wrong, but you've changed your ways so quickly. I advise you, it's fine if you say this to me, but if you go and tell the Emperor, even if he believes you, I'm afraid it won't convince the rest of the people!"

"So I came to you."

Leng Zian said without hesitation:

"I need General Wu to explain this matter to the Emperor and prove that this is all a misunderstanding. As long as General Wu allows me to leave the city safely, that visiting card will be gone forever."

When saying this, Leng Zian's eyes were fixed on Wu Hong. The reason why he could judge Wu Hong so accurately was that he was full of confidence in the contents of the letter.

"you……"

Wu Hong wanted to refute, but found that his words seemed pale and powerless in the face of facts.

After pondering for a while, Wu Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, his shrewd eyes flashed a few times, and he said seriously:

"Okay, I can promise to speak for you in front of the Emperor, but you also have to promise me that after you return to Yunnan, you will destroy that visiting card yourself and not tell anyone else what happened between you and me. No matter how big a storm this general stirs up in the capital, you will not get involved, you will not associate with Liu Dechang, Leng Yu, and the others, and you will not lead troops back to the capital to reinforce."

Leng Zian laughed loudly when he heard this, and held up three fingers.

"Hahaha, I only asked General Wu one thing, but General Wu asked for three in a row. However, I agreed. After I safely bring my son back to Yunnan, I will not bother to come to this capital again."

"Okay, it's a deal then."

Wu Hong half-closed his eyes, impatiently deciding to settle the matter with Leng Zian, and waved to the people outside, saying sternly:

"Someone, please invite the master."

Hearing this, Leng Zian looked at him in confusion, "General Wu, what do you mean?"

Wu Hong's sinister eyes flashed, and then he said mysteriously:

"Words are not enough to prove it."

"snort!"

When Leng Zian heard that he wanted to sign a document, he instantly felt insulted. He shook his sleeves vigorously and shouted angrily:

"You don't trust me? I'm an upright person. How could I do something so treacherous?"

"Since it won't happen, why is the Prince of Zhennan so anxious? It's just a written agreement."

Although Leng Zian still felt that this was somewhat inappropriate, time was running out. If Wu Hong was not settled as soon as possible and he did not go to the emperor to confess his crime, more troubles might arise over time.

After a while, the Wu family's legal advisor wrote two identical documents. Leng Zian and Wu Hong took a look at them, and after having no objections, they signed and put their fingerprints on them. This shady agreement was thus reached.

After doing all this, Leng Zian did not stop for a moment, quickly left the Wu Mansion and headed straight for the palace.

As soon as he left, Wu Hong followed him out. He wanted to inform his father about this matter, otherwise his father would definitely ask the emperor to punish Leng Zian in front of the emperor. By then, with Leng Zian's hot temper, he might say something unfavorable to them in front of the emperor, and it would be too late to regret.

…

Luo Lan learned from the Empress that Leng Yu had gone to Baohe Hall, and her brows instantly frowned.

It turned out that the Empress had received Leng Yu's order and came back to inform Luo Lan to take Xiao Zhi to Baohe Hall to plead for Leng Zian. This matter was of great importance and if not handled properly, the consequences would be serious.

Luo Lan frowned. She had to think about how to help Leng Zian. No matter what he did to her, it was all for Xiaozhi. She should help him.

Thinking of this, she rested one hand on her chin and thought carefully.

Inside the Baohe Hall, several ministers standing before the emperor were engaged in a heated debate.

The first to speak was Master Wu, who snorted softly.

"That Leng Zi'an is clearly planning a rebellion. Last night, he came before the Emperor with a sword in hand, intending to assassinate him. Today, he ordered the elite troops of the Yunnan Palace to attack the city, and yet Prince Yu is still making excuses for him?"

"I'm not quibbling. This is the truth. When the people at the Yunnan Palace heard that the Prince of Zhennan had found the young prince, his soldiers, impulsively, led their elite troops to meet him. They didn't use a single soldier, and no one was injured. How could this be considered an attack? It's premature for Grand Tutor Wu to say this."

"snort!"

Grand Tutor Wu swung his sleeves and snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth twitching constantly, and the anger on his face still did not dissipate.

Just when he came to ask the emperor for permission to send troops, he was stopped by Liu Dechang, which made him very angry.

Unexpectedly, Leng Yu, who was at odds with Leng Zian yesterday, actually spoke up for him today.

What went wrong?

When he came out in the morning, he had already discussed with his son that no matter what, Lengzi must be killed today.

At this time, Huang Shixiong, who had always disliked Leng Zian's style of doing things, also came out to agree.

"Your Majesty, this incident of someone coming before you with a sword is no small matter. If we don't use this to punish Leng Zi'an for the crime of regicide, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the people in the future. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider."

When he said this, he didn't even look at Liu Dechang, because he knew that Liu Dechang, who had always been kind-hearted, would definitely stop him from saying these words, and on this matter, he had to maintain his position.

The emperor listened to the conversation between these people, his face gloomy and his eyes filled with complicated expressions.

What Leng Zian did really made him angry. Leng Zian was an arrogant person. After so many years, he still didn't take him, the emperor, seriously. This time, he must not let him off easily.

So, no matter what people said in front of him, he remained silent. He had his own plans.

Leng Yu saw that Huang Shixiong also joined Master Wu in criticizing Leng Zian, and he thought to himself that it was not good. He really couldn't turn the situation around by his own strength.

At this moment, Liu Xi came with a whisk, reporting,

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhen...Zhennan is here."

Hearing these three words, the emperor's face was immediately filled with black lines, and he frowned and said:

"Let him in."

Liu Xi seemed to have something to say, but the words stopped at his lips. After getting the emperor's permission, he turned and left.

When Leng Zian appeared in front of everyone, everyone present was stunned. They stared at him in amazement, unable to believe what they saw.
