Liu Hong's sickly face was clouded with gloom, and his eyes gleamed with a chilling light.
"Father, please calm your anger!"
Seeing Liu Hong's murderous intent, Liu Wei said, "Please investigate, Your Majesty. I entered the palace only by order of the Empress. Otherwise, how could I have even stepped inside?"
"It was the Empress's people who led the way and brought me here to wait."
"As for why Consort Xiao is here, I also do not know!"
“Summon the Empress and her people for questioning, and you will know that everything I have said is true.”
Liu Hong's face was terribly gloomy. Seeing Liu Wei's confident and eloquent words, and remembering the irreconcilable conflict between Empress He and Liu Wei, he immediately said:
"How could the Empress possibly summon you to the palace alone?"
"Guards, seize him! I am about to strip you of your royal title, confiscate your military power, and throw you into prison!"
Liu Hong stared intently into Liu Wei's eyes, and the guards and eunuchs were about to come forward to arrest him.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. There's something fishy about this!"
After all, Wang Chengen had received benefits from Liu Wei and also had a good impression of Liu Wei.
Anyone with eyes can see that the King of Clouds was framed!
Even if you gave the King of Clouds ten heads, he wouldn't dare to come to the palace and sleep with His Majesty's woman!
Hearing Wang Chengen shout something was amiss, Liu Hong said in a sinister voice:
"Wang Chengen, you said there's something fishy about this, so what exactly happened?"
"Wasn't this Consort Xiao arranged by you? How did this beast manage to barge in?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I just arranged for Consort Xiao to stay here, and then I went to invite you."
"This servant does not know why the King of Clouds has appeared here."
Wang Chengen quickly said:
"Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding!"
"Since the King of Yunzhong claims to have come on the orders of the Empress, then we request that the Empress come here to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Liu Wei glanced gratefully at Wang Chengen, realizing that the gold hadn't been wasted.
However, he also knew that summoning the Empress was just a delaying tactic.
Since Empress He used this scheme to frame him, she probably already had her excuse ready!
Now, we can only react to each situation as it arises.
Upon hearing Wang Chengen's words, Liu Hong's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty: "Someone, go and fetch the Empress immediately!"
No sooner had Liu Hong finished speaking than a clear and melodious voice rang out.
"Your Majesty need not summon me, I have already arrived!"
