Chapter 189: Adding fuel to the fire
Murong Yang was so angry that he stood up immediately and said, "Your Majesty, I neglected to discipline my son. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I will take him back and ask him to reflect on his mistakes!"
As he said that, he was about to go over and pull Murong Ye away.
Emperor Mu Wu raised his hand and said, "Lord Murong, don't be nervous. I know his character. Since he dared to plead for Ye Heng today, I think he has evidence. Let's listen to him carefully."
After hearing these words, Murong Ye shuddered and his mind instantly became clear.
evidence?
Where does he have any evidence?
It was just because he felt sorry for Ye Shixian and wanted to rescue Ye Heng as soon as possible that he lost his temper and said those words just now!
But it was too late to wake up now. Murong Ye was in a dilemma, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The entire hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and all eyes were focused on Murong Ye.
Murong Ye racked his brains and finally spoke, but his voice was not as strong as before.
"Your Majesty, actually, I didn't..."
Suddenly, the King of Qi, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke slowly.
"Aye, don't be nervous. If you know the inside story, just tell me everything. Father is wise and will give Lord Ye Heng justice."
Murong Ye was stunned and looked over there subconsciously.
The King of Qi nodded calmly.
Murong Ye suddenly felt much more at ease.
——How could he forget that Ye Heng is King Qi’s man!
Ye Heng has been doing very well in the past few years, and he has relied a lot on the support of King Qi.
Now that Ye Heng is in trouble, King Qi will definitely not stand idly by!
Thinking of this, Murong Ye's last bit of hesitation and nervousness disappeared.
He clasped his hands together and said word by word, "Your Majesty, I don't have direct evidence to prove Lord Ye's innocence, but this matter is very strange from beginning to end, it is hard not to be suspicious. What Lord Su Wei said now is just speculation, isn't it?"
Su Wei looked straight ahead with an indifferent expression, seemingly unmoved.
Murong Ye continued:
"Master Ye is the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple after all. It is inappropriate for Master Su to take him away and lock him up in public. If Master Ye is found innocent and is released, how will he explain it to everyone? That is too much of a joke!"
When Su Wei heard this, he suddenly sneered.
"I don't know where Mr. Murong's confidence comes from. Now that all the results are not known, can Mr. Murong conclude that Ye Heng is fine?"
"Of course I—"
"Aye!"
Murong Yang shouted loudly, his face turning ashen.
Murong Ye's heart skipped a beat and he finally swallowed the rest of his words. He looked back at his father in surprise and confusion.
He just said a few words for Ye Heng, why did his father do this?
Before he could figure it out, he suddenly heard a deep and pleasant voice coming from the front right.
"I never thought that Master Murong had such a foresight. Ye Heng's case is still under investigation, but Master Murong has already concluded that he is innocent and will definitely be released."
Chen Yanchuan raised his thin lips slightly, as if smiling.
"Then, Master Murong, why don't you calculate for me - who was the person who wanted to kill me a few days ago in Wulan Mountain?"
The huge hall suddenly became extremely silent, and all sounds disappeared instantly.
Everyone was shocked, and Murong Ye was also stunned - he never expected that Shen Yanchuan would suddenly speak and interfere!
Murong Ye's forehead was covered with cold sweat:
"Your Highness, you must be joking. How would I know this..."
