"This fool! He has dood the He Family!" He Cheng’s father collapsed to the ground, despair glistening in his eyes.
If Mu Xiong is angered, there’s perhaps still a glimr of hope.
But if the Royal Family is enraged,
in order to avoid rumors, to avoid entanglents, what couldn’t His Majesty the Emperor steel himself to do?
Having served as an official for a lifeti, He Cheng’s father knew very well the temperant of Qin Cang. Whether the matter had anything to do with Prince Rui was no longer important.
What matters is that the Royal Family cannot tear faces with Mu Xiong at this mont.
To maintain this semblance of harmony, his He Family could only be sacrificed as a pawn. But whom could he bla? He could only bla himself for not holding back and should have shot this abominable fool, He Cheng, onto the wall to prevent him from ruining the family.
With Mu Qingge’s guiding words, the issue seed to morph into questioning who was the mastermind.
Originally, being set up by He Cheng was a fact. Sticking to this issue would at most spell doom for He Cheng alone. She was always one to eradicate whoever offended her thoroughly. Since He Cheng kindly offered her an opportunity, how could she not seize it?
She firmly believed that this assassination attempt had nothing to do with Prince Rui.
Because Qin Jinhao didn’t seem to be such a foolish person.
But does that matter? Whether it was Qin Jinhao’s covert orders or not is irrelevant, as long as soone suspects.
Destroying the He Family, throwing dirt in Qin Jinhao’s face, and severing one of his wings in passing—this is simply a three-in-one opportunity. Why not take advantage?
Thus, she enticed He Cheng into speaking ambiguously, dragging Qin Jinhao down.
This ti, it’s hard for the He Family to escape death. Because Qin Jinhao was never soone who sacrifices himself for others, negatively impacting his interests.
Mu Qingge’s mouth cornered a cold smile, eyes like icy pools.
Facing Qin Jinhao, whose features twisted slightly, she was unafraid, as if appreciating a masterpiece.
"Father! I have nothing to do with this matter, please judge fairly!" Qin Jinhao crushed the killing intent within his heart and knelt, proving his innocence.
Qin Cang’s expression was also unpleasant at this mont. Initially, he could watch a thrilling drama, but didn’t expect the flas to turn toward him.
His son, Qin Jinhao, always made him proud. Yet this ti, he felt disappointed.
The disappointnt in Qin Cang’s eyes went unnoticed by others, but those observing—Concubine Jiang and the Empress—did see it. The forr was startled, calculations arose, while the latter rely smirked disdainfully, averting her gaze.
"Your Majesty, Hao’er has always been righteous, how could he make such a foolish decision? Besides, aren’t we relatives through marriage with the Mu Family? If Hao’er had the intent to kill the young Lord of the Mu Family, wouldn’t he be wishing doom upon his own sister’s fiancé?" Concubine Jiang twisted her snake-like waist, almost burrowing into Qin Cang’s arms, advising sweetly.
At this mont, she had entirely forgotten her status and the occasion, also dismissing the fact that an individual, one that Qin Cang dared not offend, was seated higher up. She only thought of using her best tactics to extricate her son.
This scene made the disdain in the Empress’s eyes deepen further, as if superlatively beautiful Concubine Jiang was just a clown in her view.
The softness in his embrace made Qin Cang’s heart ripple.
Fortunately, his reason remained. He slightly pushed Concubine Jiang with her bonelessly pliant body away, cold-faced, he confronted Qin Jinhao, asking, "If you are innocent, why did He Cheng not seek help from the Crown Prince or ?" He had to say this because the great figure above was watching.
"Father!" Qin Jinhao gazed at his father in shock. How could he explain?
