Chapter 704: Sudden Rise! (Update 1)
Mistakes made in a hurry!
How could he have forgotten this!
Xie Anjun's face changed, and countless excuses flashed through his mind, but when he came to his lips, he couldn't utter any of them - in this situation, all the words became pale rebuttals!
He swallowed hard, and with the last of his survival instinct, he spoke with difficulty: "This, this... Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Xie Anjun kowtowed violently to the ground, making a dull sound, and looked as if he was filled with regret.
"I did write a recommendation letter for Zheng Baosu, but I was asked to do so. It was not my own fault! I was also obsessed with it, so I—"
"Oh?" Emperor Mu Wu finally spoke. His tone was low and gentle, but it was full of strong pressure. "Entrusted by someone? Who is that person?"
"I--"
Xie Anjun was speechless.
The name lingered in his throat, as if it was about to come out.
But his remaining rationality made him hesitate again.
Say...or not say?
If you confess everything, Your Majesty will investigate it thoroughly!
By then, I’m afraid some things can’t be covered up anymore!
But if I don’t say it, what about the current situation…how can we reconcile?
The entire hall was in deathly silence, and even the air seemed to have frozen.
Xie Anbai watched coldly, his eyes full of mockery.
Of course he knew who the person Xie Anjun was talking about was, and even... His Majesty knew it too.
Asking questions at this time is just a formality.
Xie Anjun thought that his arrangements were flawless, but he didn't think about who actually controls this palace and this capital city?
It's ridiculous that he thought he could hide the truth!
However, at this moment, Zheng Baosu, who was kneeling beside him, suddenly reacted and looked at Xie Anjun in horror and anger, as if a fire was rushing straight to his head.
The next second, he dragged his sick body and rushed directly towards Xie Anjun!
“It’s you!”
Xie Anjun was caught off guard. When he heard the noise and was about to turn around, he bumped into the other party's ferocious face and was horrified!
He subconsciously wanted to step back and dodge, but he had been kneeling on the ground for too long and his legs were not flexible, so he was a step slow.
It just so happens that Zheng Baosu is a military general. Although he has no skills on the battlefield and is cunning and dishonest, his physique is much stronger than Xie Anjun, who has been pampered for many years.
With this pounce, he pushed Xie Anjun to the ground very accurately!
"You're the one who wants to kill me! I have nothing else to do now, so I might as well kill you and go to hell together!"
Zheng Baosu roared hoarsely, his eyes red, filled with resentment and hatred.
He was still confused at first, but after Zhao Zhe came in, he directly gave out the identity of Xie Anjun!
He didn't react at first, but after hearing Xie Anjun's rebuttal, he suddenly remembered that he had indeed gotten his position by relying on the Xie family's connections in the military.
The others had no grudges against him and indeed had no reason to attack him!
But Xie Anjun is different - there are extremely secret interests between him and him!
At this time, Xie Anjun was definitely one of the people who most wanted him to die!
After thinking this through, how could Zheng Baosu continue to endure it!
Even if he risked everything, there was no way he could let Xie Anjun live well!
When Eunuch Li saw this scene, he reacted very quickly. He frowned and shouted, "How dare you! Take him down right now!"
At first, the guards didn't expect that Zheng Baosu, who was already half-dead, would suddenly jump up. After being stunned for a moment, they immediately rushed forward!
