Capítulo 352: Middle Ground

The next day, the palace was still on edge with everything going on with Prince Yi. The Emperor had still not spoken on the punishment for the traitors but the details of the treason had finally surfaced soothing the confused minds of those who thought they had slept through a rebellion in the last few days.

Apparently, this case had to do with the deceased Crown Prince's failed rebellion. "New" evidence had come to light showing that Prince Yi, along with the imprisoned officials had been key members of that rebellion.

This revelation did not surprise most people considering his closeness with the then Crown prince and his perfectly timed arrival that fateful night, just in time to save the day and be the hero of the battle. Not to mention the fact that all the men in the rebel army killed themselves following the Crown prince's death. Why kill themselves when the battle was already lost? It only made sense if there was something left to protect.
