Chương 604: Inconceivable!

[Such a huge event. Even you, the king, had absolutely no idea. How could I know about it? I really didn’t know it, and even if I knew it, how could I dig on that? He was your son! He was supported by many powerful figures! The Second Prince! How could I supervise him? How?]

He couldn’t help sweating on the forehead.

It was truly not easy to answer. Old officials were all loyal and had been following the king for decades.

"Do you know, among the officials you should supervise, somebody is planning treason?" The king’s deep voice was like a thunder striking in Minister Zuo’s heart.
