Qiyuan Hall.
Fan Chengzhuo was brought in.
In just a few days, he lost a lot of weight, became dirty, and looked extremely miserable.
Emperor Mu Wu looked down at him.
"It seems that you have figured it out."
Fan Chengzhuo slowly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot and madness was surging in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, before I submit my statement, I have one more request."
Emperor Mu Wu narrowed his eyes, "You still dare to negotiate terms with me?"
"I dare not." Fan Chengzhuo's voice was hoarse. "But if Your Majesty wants to know the truth, it would be best if you grant this guilty minister's request."
"presumptuous!"
Eunuch Li scolded,
"How can you be so in front of His Majesty!?"
Fan Chengzhuo didn't move, but just stared straight ahead with a stubborn look on his face.
Emperor Mu Wu raised his hand and Eunuch Li immediately stepped back.
Emperor Mu Wu asked, "What do you think?"
Fan Chengzhuo slowly turned his stiff neck and glanced around, but did not see the figure he wanted to see.
He supported himself on the ground with both hands, gradually tightening them.
"I want to wait for someone."
"Waiting for someone?" Emperor Mu Wu was stunned. He didn't expect him to make such a request. "Who?"
Fan Chengzhuo held his breath and his body trembled slightly.
I don't know whether it's anger or fear.
He said every word,
"The person I am waiting for... is none other than Prince Jing!"
The expression on Emperor Mu Wu's face seemed to freeze at this moment.
His facial expression did not change at all, except for the slightly twitching corners of his eyes.
"You want to see Prince Jing?"
Fan Chengzhuo said firmly, "Yes."
After saying that, he closed his mouth tightly.
It seemed as if he would not speak again until he saw Xiao Chenglin.
The hall fell into a cold stalemate.
Suddenly, Ye Chutang, who had been standing quietly beside him, looked up and looked outside as if he had noticed something.
Her eyebrows raised slightly.
——You came really quickly.
Just as this thought flashed through my mind, I heard a voice from the transmitter -
"Prince Jing requests an audience—!"
Emperor Mu Wu also looked up, his eyes dark and difficult to read.
After a moment, he said in an ambiguous tone,
"Speak of the devil! Let him in."
Soon, Xiao Chenglin appeared in the Qiyuan Hall.
A servant followed behind him on the left, supporting him all the way to the door.
Ye Chutang took a quick glance and suddenly his gaze fixed.
This person...is not the one who followed Xiao Chenglin before.
Did he change people?
Ye Chutang's mind raced, and many speculations emerged in an instant.
It seems that things haven't been peaceful in Prince Jing's residence these days...
Xiao Chenglin walked forward. Because of his disabled leg, although he tried his best to keep his body steady, his body still swayed when he walked.
He walked forward as if he didn't see Fan Chengzhuo, and finally stopped in the hall and saluted respectfully.
"Your son greets His Majesty."
Emperor Mu Wu's eyes swept over the two of them before he spoke, "Your legs and feet are not in good condition, why did you suddenly think of coming to the palace today?"
Xiao Chenglin bowed his head and said respectfully, "In reply to your Majesty, I came here today to report something important."
"oh?"
Emperor Muwu nodded and said
"you say."
Xiao Chenglin paused, "My son——"
He had just opened his mouth when Fan Chengzhuo, who had been staring at him since he came in, suddenly interrupted him.
"Prince Jing should have been staying in his own residence recently. Is there anything important he needs to report to His Majesty?"
Anyone could tell that there was something wrong with his words.
Xiao Chenglin turned his head and looked at him calmly, "Why do you say that, Master Fan?"
Fan Chengzhuo looked at him sinisterly.
Xiao Chenglin hesitated for a moment before looking at Emperor Mu Wu and bowing, "I didn't know your Majesty was interrogating Lord Fan today. I don't mean to disturb you. How about I withdraw first—"
"How can Your Highness Prince Jing retreat?" Fan Chengzhuo suddenly gave a short and strange laugh. "I, your humble servant, have waited for you for far too long." (End of this chapter)
