Chapter 709: Self-blame (Part 1)
Emperor Mu Wu raised his eyes, seeming surprised.
"Fan Chengzhuo? Didn't he say that he was seriously ill recently and even took a long time off from the court meetings? Why is he here at this time?"
Xie Anjun's heart was struck by lightning!
Fan Chengzhuo! ?
Everything that happened the day before kept reappearing in his mind, making him more and more uneasy.
Why did you come at this most critical moment, not earlier or later? ?
It’s easy to guess the purpose of Fan Chengzhuo’s sudden visit to the palace for an audience - it was obviously for Zheng Baosu!
Is he crazy? Is he really going to abandon himself to protect Zheng Baosu?
But Zheng Baosu had just self-destructed!
Fan Chengzhuo's arrival not only failed to save people, but made it easier to prove his guilt!
Xie Anjun really wanted to rush out and stop Fan Chengzhuo outside, but he couldn't.
At this moment, the only thing he could do was to continue kneeling here and watch things slide into an abyss that he could not control!
When Zheng Baosu heard the name, he was also stunned and took a long time to react.
He subconsciously looked at Emperor Mu Wu, and the next moment, he heard Emperor Mu Wu raising his hand.
"Let him in."
"yes."
When Zheng Baosu saw this scene, a sense of hope suddenly ignited in his heart.
——He is saved!
He had hardly ever been to the capital before, so he didn't have many connections here. Even if he wanted to ask for help, he didn't know which door to kowtow to.
But now, Fan Chengzhuo is here!
It is said that Fan Chengzhuo has gained the trust of His Majesty over the years and has risen rapidly. If he is willing to speak up, it may not be possible...
Thinking of this, Zheng Baosu's heart became even hotter. He looked back eagerly, waiting for Fan Chengzhuo's arrival with trepidation and anticipation.
——He thought about it, and realized that with things having come to this, he would definitely lose his position. However, if Fan Chengzhuo could turn the tide, perhaps he could save his life!
As long as I can walk out of here alive today, there is still hope!
Only Xie Anbai seemed not to have heard these words, his expression calm and indifferent.
Soon, the sound of light and hurried footsteps came from outside.
Fan Chengzhuo was extremely anxious. He endured the discomfort in his body and hurried all the way here, fearing that if he arrived a moment late, something irreversible would happen.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, he immediately saw the embarrassed figure of Zheng Baosu. His heart was relieved at first, then tensed again.
Ever since he learned that Zheng Baosu was escorted back to Beijing, Fan Chengzhuo has been worried.
Seeing him now and his appearance, it is not difficult to imagine how much torture he has gone through during this period.
I'm afraid there's no good place on my body...
Zheng Baosu also saw him, and in an instant he broke down and couldn't help shouting, "Uncle——"
Fan Chengzhuo suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart, forced himself to look away, and knelt down to kowtow.
"Your humble servant Fan Chengzhuo pays respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
Emperor Mu Wu frowned as he listened to his hoarse and weak voice.
"Why did you suddenly become so ill?"
Anyone with eyes could see how bad Fan Chengzhuo's situation was at the moment.
Fan Chengzhuo endured the bloody smell rising in his throat, and his voice remained humble.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have caught a cold and shouldn't have come to see Your Majesty in this sick state. But... Zheng Baosu is my cousin, and I really can't just sit there and watch. That's why I came here today to see Your Majesty and apologize!"
Others may not be clear about his relationship with Zheng Baosu, but he is not stupid and would not think that those tricks can be hidden from Emperor Mu Wu.
So...it's better to get straight to the point!
When Xie Anjun heard this, he was instantly frightened!
He looked at Fan Chengzhuo in horror.
——Please forgive me!?
Please...what crime!?
