Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 421: Confrontation! (Second update)

The arrow is on the string.

At this moment, no matter how Ye Heng came back to life, or how he returned to the capital from Tongbei, Emperor Mu Wu had no choice.

He took a deep breath.

"Bring the people up!"

Xiao Chengxuan’s brain was about to explode.

He could no longer control his emotions and turned back to look outside the hall -

The palace is a sensitive place, he wants to see how Ye Heng, a criminal, can sneak in quietly!

In the silence of the room, there seemed to be the sound of footsteps coming slowly.

Xiao Chengxuan's heart seemed to be tightly gripped by something. He even forgot to breathe and just stared with his eyes open.

The next moment, a tall and straight snow-white figure came into everyone's sight.

The moment he saw that man, Xiao Chengxuan's heart beat wildly.

That was——

"The prince of Dingbei!?"

Some people couldn't help but scream out in shock.

The man was tall and slender, wearing a snow-white cloak with the corners of his clothes fluttering in the wind, and he exuded an elegant and noble demeanor as he walked.

If it’s not Shen Yanchuan, then who is it?!
Xie Pei's heart also skipped a beat.

No wonder I didn’t see Shen Yanchuan at the morning court today. It turns out... he was waiting here!
Countless eyes fell on him, but Shen Yanchuan seemed unaware of it and stood still in the hall to salute.

Emperor Mu Wu looked at him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You asked for leave from me earlier, saying that you had something very important to do today, but I didn't expect that it would be related to Ye Heng?"

Judging from the meaning of his words, there seems to be some blame.

Shen Yanchuan clasped his hands together:
"Your Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation of General Huo's case. Ye Heng is related to this case and may even be the most important witness. I dare not let my guard down. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

At this point, Emperor Mu Wu could not think of any rebuttal.

——After all, Shen Yanchuan was telling the truth!

Emperor Mu Wu knew that this was not the time to dwell on these matters, so he did not pursue the matter further and changed the subject: "So, the person is with you?"

Shen Yanchuan nodded gently: "Ye Heng is waiting outside the palace at this moment. However, his legs are disabled and he cannot walk well, so he did not accompany me to the audience."

Emperor Mu Wu frowned.

"Just bring him in!"

Eunuch Li hurried to give orders.

Soon, two guards came in carrying a man.

Everyone looked at them and saw that the man in the middle was haggard, with gray hair, and his legs hanging limply on the ground in a strange posture.

Although the face had changed a lot, someone soon recognized it.

"It's really Ye Heng!"

boom!
The guards forced Ye Heng to his knees on the ground with a muffled sound.

This sound was like thunder, exploding in Xiao Chengxuan's heart.

He opened his eyes and looked at the man in disbelief, almost thinking he was hallucinating.

However, his clenched fist was slightly swollen due to nervousness, and it reminded him repeatedly like needles - this person was Ye Heng!

He really is not dead! And he has returned to the capital alive!
"The road of exile is difficult. Ye Heng's legs were frozen and he has become disabled." Shen Yanchuan leaned slightly to the side and explained, "But fortunately, his mind is still clear. Ye Heng, why don't you salute His Majesty?" Shen Yanchuan said this lightly, but Ye Heng shuddered suddenly as if he had received a huge shock!
He raised his head tremblingly, but as soon as his sight touched the magnificent stairs, he dared not go any further and quickly lowered his head.

He had been to this place many times, but never was he as miserable as this time.

However, he had no choice.

He is lucky to be able to come back here!
Perhaps because of excitement, Ye Heng's body began to tremble slightly.

He bent down with difficulty and hit his forehead heavily on the ground. The intense pain was so real.

"Your Majesty, I, Ye Heng, greet you!"

This sound was a recognition of the identity.

All eyes were focused on one spot, and everyone had mixed feelings.

After just a few months of absence, the once glorious Shaoqing of the Dali Temple has fallen to this state.

Not only does he look ten years older, but his legs are also disabled.

This appearance is exactly the same as that of a street beggar.

Who would have thought that this was Ye Heng? !
Emperor Muwu had a grim expression on his face.

Naturally, he wouldn't care what Ye Heng looked like now, let alone whether he was disabled.

He only cares about what Ye Heng says!
Emperor Mu Wu spoke in a deep voice:
"The Dali Temple and the Censorate jointly investigated the case and said that Xu Jie framed Huo Yucheng and caused his entire family to be executed on the order of the King of Qi. Do you know about this?"

The entire hall was eerily quiet.

Everyone was waiting for Ye Heng's answer.

Everyone knows that he used to be Xiao Chengxuan's man!
If those things were really done by Xiao Chengxuan, then Ye Heng, as his confidant, must know the inside story!

Once he opens his mouth to testify, then... I'm afraid Xiao Chengxuan's situation will be difficult!
Xiao Chengxuan maintained his original posture, motionless.

He looked as calm as a mountain, but in fact he was already in a state of panic.

He had never expected that Ye Heng was not dead after all his calculations!
He wanted to give Ye Heng a warning, but with so many eyes watching him, how could he move?!
Ye Heng finally looked at the figure in front of him on the right.

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and countless emotions burst out from the depths of his heart!
The hatred in his heart was like a flood, swallowing him up in an instant!

Ye Heng stared at Xiao Chengxuan, gritting his teeth:

"That's right! It was the King of Qi who caused Huo Yucheng's death!"

Xiao Chengxuan finally couldn't hold back any longer and turned back abruptly: "Ye Heng! Who on earth gave you so much benefit to let you slander me!"

Ye Heng sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.

He raised his hand and pointed directly at Xiao Chengxuan.

Everyone then noticed that his hands were red and swollen, with many chilblains and several rotten spots.

It is not difficult to imagine how much suffering he suffered during this journey of exile.

"I'm telling the truth! Not a single lie!"

"you!"

"As for the benefits... I am now alone, so even if there are great benefits, what use will it be to me!?"

Xiao Chengxuan was shocked: Did Ye Heng already know what happened in Beijing?
Ye Heng was filled with hatred.

Before leaving Beijing, Xiao Chengxuan had repeatedly guaranteed that he would protect his wife and children.

But now——

His face looked somewhat ferocious.

"Why, are you disappointed that I didn't die in your hands?!"
