After a few breaths, the sound of low sobbing, belonging to some imperial grandson, could be heard in the Hall of Preserving Harmony. Although it was quickly covered up, the sound of crying could be heard again from the other side after a short while.
His Majesty sneered.
"You say you're innocent?" He paused, forcing back his throbbing headache, and gritted his teeth, "I sit high on my throne, my senses are impaired. All the irrefutable evidence has already been uncovered; do you want it laid out before you?"
The Emperor used a question, but Liang Jiugong, who was standing next to him, had already handed over a stack of papers.
The Emperor didn't even glance at it, and directly swung his palm down.
There were roughly a dozen or so memorials flying around the hall. The Third Master stared wide-eyed, almost climbing up the steps in front of the hall to read them.

The Third Master skimmed through the documents. No wonder he noticed that there were fewer servants around him lately. The documents clearly stated his intentions, orders, and arrangements, along with the assassin's confession and the fact that the jade pendant he always wore had appeared in the assassin's hands.

The Emperor remained unmoved. He raised a finger and said, "Take this rebellious son back. He shall not leave without an imperial edict."
Inside the Hall of Preserving Harmony, the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince exchanged a glance and remained silent.
No one cared what happened at the dinner party afterwards.
When the news broke, countless people were completely baffled.
Including Longkodo himself.
The person he investigated was clearly... the Second Prince Yinreng. Although the remaining assassins were handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial, but... why is His Majesty now blaming the Third Prince?
What exactly happened in between?
