Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 761 Grounded (First Update)
It rained heavily.

Inside the Hall of Prayer for the Origin, the air seemed to freeze.

Xiao Chenglin looked directly at Emperor Muwu, "Your Majesty, I have been frail since childhood and have always lived a secluded life, behaving with propriety. I have no idea why Lord Fan would slander me in this way. As for the matter between him and Lord Zheng, I have no idea. I implore Your Majesty to investigate and clear my name!"

Emperor Mu Wu looked at Fan Chengzhuo and said, "What Prince Jing said is not without reason. Fan Chengzhuo, do you have any evidence to support what you just said?"

If it's just one side of the story, it's naturally not something to be readily believed.

Fan Chengzhuo was breathing rapidly.

evidence?

He had done so many shady things in the past, so to be on the safe side, he would make sure to check repeatedly that he didn't leave any evidence.

Because he never imagined that he had been tricked from the very beginning!

But it's too late to understand now. How can he prove it given his current situation?
Fan Chengzhu remained silent for a long time, seemingly speechless.

Xiao Chenglin added, "Since that's the case, I'm willing to stay at the Prince Jing's residence until the truth comes out, until everything is thoroughly investigated!"

He glanced at Fan Chengzhuo, his tone cold.

"If I am unjustly imprisoned in the capital, I am willing to request to be confined to my quarters!"

His attitude was firm and his tone resolute.

On the contrary, Fan Chengzhuo seemed to be the one who felt guilty.

So Fan Chengzhuo was also severely provoked by his words.

"you!"

Fan Chengzhuo spoke in a hoarse voice.
"If I hadn't been instructed by you, why would I have given up such a promising future to do those things!"

This is something that many people don't understand.

What kind of interests, what kind of obsession, could drive Fan Chengzhuo to take such a risk?
He has no shortage of money, and he also has power.

after all……

"Everything is because of you—"

"Report——!"

Before Fan Chengzhuo could finish speaking, a palace servant rushed in from outside the hall, his face still showing lingering shock.

"Your Majesty! The heir of the Marquis of Dingbei requests an audience!" Emperor Muwu picked up his teacup, his brow furrowing slightly. "What does he want?"

The palace maid, not having time to wipe the rain from her face, stammered, "He... he said... he brought Yu and the princess to pay their respects!"

Bang——!
The cup in Emperor Mu Wu's hand fell and shattered on the ground.

A rare look of shock crossed his face. "What!? He said...who!?"

Not only him, but everyone in the hall was stunned.

Princess Yuhe?

Xiao Lanxi?
But wasn't she already dead?!

How come now—

Ye Chutang glanced at Xiao Chenglin with a slight tilt of her head.

He stood there, his lips tightly pressed together, his emotions unreadable.

However, compared to his previous composure and calmness, he now seemed to have a hint of anxiety.

"Let them in."

Emperor Mu Wu sat up straight, took a deep breath, his hand on the armrest tightened slightly, and his lips turned a little pale.

He raised his hand, as if he wanted to punch his chest, but he held back.

Ye Chutang took in this scene and said softly, "His Majesty's medicine is almost ready. Shall I go and bring it to you?"

Emperor Mu Wu paused and glanced at her.

Their eyes met, and he slowly nodded.

"it is good."

Emperor Muwu had actually taken the medicine before, but today's situation doesn't look good.

Fan Chengzhuo not only reported Prince Jing, Xiao Chenglin, but Xiao Lanxi, who had been dead for a long time, suddenly reappeared!
Each and every one of these events would be difficult for an ordinary person to bear, let alone Emperor Mu Wu, whose health was already poor.

Ye Chutang was merely looking for an excuse to personally prepare the medicine for him again, just in case.

After saying this, Ye Chutang curtsied, turned around, and left.

After leaving the Qiyuan Hall, she turned and walked towards the side hall.
