Xie Anjun's mind went blank, and the blood in his body seemed to be frozen, unable to move.
Emperor Mu Wu's words sounded light, but Xie Anjun had not forgotten how he was "invited" into the palace!
And now, Emperor Mu Wu said he would personally interrogate him, and even asked him to join...
This is clearly an attempt to interrogate him!
Xie Anjun's throat was dry. After a long while, he spoke with difficulty, his face pale, "...I, your humble servant... obey your order..."
Emperor Mu Wu seemed not to notice his abnormality. He raised his chin and his tone became cold.
"Bring the people up."
Eunuch Li bowed and responded.
Emperor Muwu then looked at Xie Anjun and Xie Anbai again, his eyes lingering on the two brothers for a moment, and said with a smile, "Stand up, this is not a court meeting, there is no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xie Anbai followed suit, stood up, then took two steps back and stood to one side.
Xie Anjun became increasingly embarrassed.
In this situation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get up.
But whether it was because he had been kneeling for too long or for some other reason, when he stood up, his legs suddenly went weak and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Emperor Mu Wu leaned back in his chair and glanced at him, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xie Anjun managed to stand still and said quickly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine."
As he spoke, he also retreated to the other side and stood with his head lowered.
But the color of his lips was still eerily pale, and he looked frightened.
The hall became quiet again, and Xie Anjun could even hear his own heartbeat clearly.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Just when he was feeling confused, footsteps were heard from outside.
His heart was startled and he turned his head subconsciously, and saw the imperial guards escorting Zheng Baosu in.
Zheng Baosu is only thirty years old this year. At this age, he has achieved the position of General Xianwu, which is considered a meteoric rise and he has a bright future.
If he hadn't made any mistakes, he would have definitely reached a higher position in the future.
pity--
Now he is dressed as a prisoner, with disheveled hair and scars all over his body. He looks so miserable. Where is the dignity he once had?
Suddenly, a white light flashed in Xie Anjun's mind!
--wrong!
Now that what happened last night has been exposed, why does Zheng Baosu look like... there is no sign of poisoning! ?
The more Xie Anjun thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He stared at Zheng Baosu, wishing he could burn a hole in his body!
What on earth is this——
Before he could figure it out, another person was brought up.
The moment he saw the face clearly, Xie Anjun's heart suddenly sank.
He averted his gaze almost in panic, not daring to look up again.
However, everything that happened around him still fell clearly into his ears.
Eunuch Li said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Zheng Baosu and Zhao Zhe have been brought here."
Zheng Baosu had been in a coma from last night until morning. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was brought here.
He was confused before, until this moment, he finally realized where this was!
He looked up in shock, and when he saw the bright yellow figure, he was instantly scared to death!
“Your Majesty…”
He stammered but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
At this moment, Zhao Zhe next to him had already burst into tears.
"Your Majesty! I know I was wrong! But I am forced to do this! I beg Your Majesty to understand me!"
Emperor Mu Wu looked indifferent and spoke in a calm voice.
"As the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, who can force you?" (End of this chapter)
