Consort Ru's heart leaped, and she immediately cut him off.
"Cheng Xuan, you needn't worry. With Yanchuan there, everything will surely be fine."
Meeting her warning gaze, Xiao Chengxuan was jolted back to his senses. 'I've said too much!'
'If the investigation into Ye Zheng's death three years ago truly uncovered a connection to Ye Heng, his imperial father would surely have second thoughts.'
'After all, his decision to demote Ye Zheng and banish him from the capital was made in a fit of anger. He had only meant to teach him a lesson and never intended for him to be killed.'
'If not for that edict of banishment, perhaps Ye Zheng and his family would never have died.'
'By bringing this up now, wasn't I just needlessly upsetting my imperial father?'
Xiao Chengxuan said quickly, "You are right, Mother Consort. I was worrying needlessly."
Emperor Muwu's face was expressionless, his emotions unreadable.
