"Your highness, I-I don't know w-what..." He could not complete his words as Sheng Li gripped his neck tightly and pulled him closer. "Crown Prince, calm down," Han Wenji stated.
"Father, I am calm. It is just this person who created so much trouble for us and now instead of admitting his crimes, lies to us!" Sheng Li proclaimed. Jian Guozhi stood up from his seat and went to Sheng Li.
"Let him go, Crown Prince. At this rate, he will die," Jian Guozhi affirmed. Sheng Li loosened his grip from Yang Fei Ke's neck and pushed him.
"Just speak the truth else the entire Ju family has to take the punishment," Sheng Li sternly said. Jang Fei Ke got onto his knees and asked for forgiveness. He was pleading with the Emperor. Sheng Li and Jian Guozhi turned towards the Emperor.
"Why did you do this?" Han Wenji demanded the answers from Yang Fei Ke who did not open his mouth.
