King Qi frowned slightly. Logically speaking, Zu An was part of the emperor's faction, so the other party should definitely protect him. However, as an adversary for so many years, he understood his cold-hearted brother better than anyone else. He knew that Zu An had been hated by the emperor, which was evident from his previous willingness to let all sides attack Zu An. But now it seemed that he had changed his mind.
The question was clearly full of implications. If Zuan denied it outright, then Yichun would have no chance to take revenge. If the situation was dragged out by various parties, Zuan's ordeal would be over.
Bi Linglong also looked at Zu An with anticipation, thinking that this guy was always smart and must have understood the hint.
To everyone's surprise, Zu'an nodded directly: "I did go to the Sang family before entering the palace, and I killed Yi Zhibing."
These words caused an uproar throughout the court. Jiang Boyang and Murong Tong shook their heads slightly and retreated back into the ranks. Now, even the people from the Eastern Palace could not offer any help.
Yi Chun's hair and beard bristled as he cursed loudly. If it weren't for the emperor's sake, he would have already made a move.
Anger from Yi Chun: +444 +444 +444...

Bi Linglong: "..."
King Qi glanced at Zu An with some surprise. Why was this kid still so calm?
Killing government officials without authorization is tantamount to treason, especially since there is a victim here now.
Bi Linglong was also extremely anxious and, disregarding everything else, asked directly, "Lord Zu, what exactly happened to the Sang family that made you resort to such a deadly attack?"
Many ministers in the court admired the Crown Princess's intelligence, as she had found a way to defend herself so easily.
As expected, Zu'an followed up on his words and said, "When I learned that Lord Sang was in trouble, I was extremely anxious. After returning to the capital, I went to the Sang family to check on the situation. As a result, I happened to run into Yi Zhibing, who was so audacious that he tried to do beastly things to Miss Sang and her daughter-in-law while the Sang family was in trouble. That's why I was filled with righteous indignation and took action."
The ministers' expressions were somewhat subtle. In fact, since they were all in the capital, they had long heard about Yi Zhibing's character, so few of them doubted his words.
However, since they were all seasoned politicians, they naturally wouldn't easily do anything to uphold justice, especially when it meant offending a high-ranking official.
King Qi sneered inwardly, thinking that this kid had some trump card, but it turned out to be nothing.
Young people are too naive and simplistic.
