Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 416: Report! (Update )
The sky is gloomy.

A group of court officials walked slowly towards the hall. Unlike the usual greetings, today everyone kept their mouths shut and remained silent in the cold wind.

All I heard was hurried footsteps.

Everyone knows that today is an unusual day - today marks the tenth day for the trial of Xu Jie and Huo Yucheng.

Your Majesty wants an answer, so no matter what, there will be a result today!
A cold wind blew, and Xie Pei took a deep breath, feeling the chill almost penetrating his lungs.

He saw a familiar figure in his peripheral vision and tilted his head slightly.

Murong Yang looked at him and quickly bowed his head.

Xie Pei nodded, but his mind was still restless.

He raised his head and looked forward, only to see large, gloomy clouds gathering in, seemingly covering everything.

The hall stood majestically, yet it exuded an inexplicable chill.

……

As soon as he stood still in the hall, Xie Pei immediately looked at Xiao Chengxuan who was standing in front of him.

Being at the center of the storm, Xiao Chengxuan has basically stayed in the mansion recently. Even Xie Pei only saw him today.

Xiao Chengxuan had lost some weight and looked sickly, but this appearance made his facial features look sharper, making him look more like Your Majesty.

Xie Pei sighed inwardly.

No wonder His Majesty is particularly fond of this son.

Leaving aside his military and literary talents, just in terms of appearance and temper, Xiao Chengxuan is the most like him.

If today is peaceful, then...

"Your Majesty has arrived——"

Eunuch Li sang loudly, interrupting Xie Pei's thoughts.

As the bright yellow figure appeared, everyone knelt down.

"Long live His Majesty!" Emperor Mu Wu looked around expressionlessly. His sharp and cold gaze was like substance, weighing heavily on everyone's heart.

After a long while, he spoke in a deep voice:
"Xu Fengchi."

Xu Fengchi immediately stepped out and said, "I am here."

Emperor Mu Wu narrowed his eyes and asked, "How is your investigation going on with the case I asked you to investigate?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the entire hall seemed to freeze.

Everyone looked at Xu Fengchi at the same time, with different thoughts in their minds.

Ten days is really too short. How difficult would it be to thoroughly investigate an unjust case from several years ago?
But His Majesty has a tough attitude. If Xu Fengchi cannot give a result today, I am afraid he will have a hard time reporting back.

In the silence, Xu Fengchi bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have found evidence that Xu Jie murdered Huo Yucheng, and it is proven beyond a doubt!"

Every word he spoke, his sonorous and powerful voice fell clearly into the ears of everyone present:

"Xu Jie did conspire with others to frame Huo Yucheng, causing the entire Huo family to suffer injustice!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings became even quieter.

This is actually a fact recognized by everyone, but the key is that Xu Jie alone was not enough to accomplish this task.

There is obviously an invisible hand behind the scenes controlling everything!
But... who on earth could this person be?!
Emperor Mu Wu's expression was stern: "Accomplice? Who is it?"

To deceive superiors and subordinates and harm loyal and good people is a great crime!

Xu Fengchi held his breath and slowly raised his head.

His eyes swept over a figure in front of him.

Xiao Chengxuan suddenly felt a chill on his back and shivered for no apparent reason.

At this moment, Xu Fengchi finally spoke:

"Xu Jie admitted in prison that he framed Huo Yucheng on the orders of the King of Qi! More than a hundred people in the Huo family died at the hands of the King of Qi!"

Every word and sentence was powerful, like thunder, exploding fiercely in everyone's hearts!
