章節 1313: Everything Is Ready (3)

The Eldest Prince and the Second Princess worked together seamlessly so that although they seemed to be speaking up for Ling Yan, they hinted that the Eternal Emperor should finish listening to Lord Hu.

The Eternal Emperor's expression grew sterner. He finally spoke in front of the full court of civil and military officials.

"If you dare to malign the Crown Prince today, I will make sure you are quartered."

The Eternal Emperor's eyes were sharp. His words clearly showed that he was protecting Ling Yan.

"I hear and obey…" Lord Hu replied. Then, he continued. "I wish to impeach the Crown Prince on two major counts. Firstly, the Crown Prince condoned his subordinates when they broke the law and committed crimes in the capital. They have harmed people and caused good and loyal citizens to suffer."

As he spoke, Lord Hu presented the memorial he had prepared earlier to the Eternal Emperor.
