The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending-Chapter 520

Chapter 520

Thanks to the second prince, they finally had a clue and knew where to start.

Next, following the existing clues, they would surely be able to dig out more of Wang Yus strongholds!

Just thinking about it made Yuan Minggang eager, so much so that his eyes were sparkling. Over the years, imperial guards have only dealt with trivial matters, and they have been idle for a long time; they have long wanted to do something big!

It was clear that Gu Jing was also involved in the case, but the emperor still ignored him, pointing his finger directly at Lord Chengen.

Lord Chengen, what do you say?

Why did the account book you brought to impeach Wei Xiushi come from Wang Yus stronghold?

Almost at the same time, the spider outside the window had crawled to the prey circling it with its legs

The emperors gaze was like a sword piercing Lord Chengen, as he said sternly. Whaton earth is your relationship with Wang Yu!

The emperor was usually gentle, but at this moment, his face looked so strict and his whole body naturally released a thunderous aura of a majestic emperor, like waves on a stormy night overwhelmingly pressing down on Lord Chengen.

The emperor had never spoken to Lord Chengen in such a tone, and this made Lord Chengens heart suddenly shrink, his face turned paler and his feet became weak, he knelt on the cold brick floor with a thud.

He could not help but look at Gu Jing with a trace of hope in his eyes, hoping that Gu Jing would help him say a few words in front of the emperor.

However, Gu Jing silently moved his gaze away, half-hanging his eyes, and still maintaining a bowing posture.

The imperial study room was burning with silver coal, making the room warm as spring; however, at this moment, Lord Chengens heart suddenly became cold.

He clearly could not count on Gu Jing.

Of course, Lord Chengen would not just accept his fate. Taking a deep breath, he calmed his chaotic mind and continued to defend himself, Your Majesty, this account book was accidentally obtained by me. It was handed to me anonymously, but I failed to investigate. I thought Lord Wei was guilty, but I didnt expect to fall into the instigation of Wang Yu.

He sighed self-reproaching, as if he were really confused.

Oh? The emperor looked at Lord Chengen with a smile on his face, as if listening to a play.

Yuan Minggang pulled the corner of his mouth in disbelief, thinking that Lord Chengen was determined to see the Yellow River, and had no trace of a lordships temperament in him.

In addition, if he had some vision and foresight, he would not have to look at the second prince who was unable to achieve success or see the world due to poor ability.

Lord Chengen could only bite the bullet and say, I blame my selfishness! Because the emperor wants to establish a crown prince, I want to use this to bring the empress down on her horse.

This minister is guilty.

Lord Chengen kowtowed his head heavily to the ground and raised his head. The turbid eyes on his old face were covered with bloodshot eyes, like spider webs. He said in a firm voice. Your Majesty, I did not collude with Wang Yu.

When things got to this point, to minimize charges, Lord Chengen could only admit that he had ulterior motives in pulling down Empress Wei. In any case, this was much lighter than the charge of colluding with Wang Yu.

The Liu family still has the empress dowager; perhaps he could still maintain his title.
