Shen Chenghao's remark instantly shifted the complexions of many present.
The Royal Family's brushes with the Hell's Flower had been sealed by orders of Yang Wenxiao and Emperor Yongan, and few were privy to the details. Shen Chenghao, always at odds with the Royal Family, should have never heard of such things.
Yet now he somehow knew that everything Emperor Yongan tasted was bitter, and he had brazenly announced it before everyone!
With such a sinister laugh, what was he plotting?!
In the span of a lightning thought, Yang Wenxiao abruptly stood up and pointed at Shen Chenghao, shouting, "Guards, seize Shen Chenghao!"
Many Imperial Guards encircled the platform, packing it densely.
A dozen guards stood atop the platform as well, the personal guards of Yang Wenxiao, Emperor Yongan, Yang Hao, and Yang Zheng. Adding the Imperial Guards, there were a hundred total. Upon Yang Wenxiao's command, movement stirred amongst the guards on stage and the Imperial Guards below.
