News that the Second Prince had been urgently summoned to the palace soon reached Shen Yanchuan's desk.
Yun Cheng bowed his head. "I hear that Eunuch Li went to the Prince Qi Mansion and escorted him away shortly after arriving. Four hours have passed, and Prince Qi still has not returned. Also, the Grand Secretary went to the palace today as well."
Shen Yanchuan leaned back in his chair, not even looking up.
"Mr. Jiang has always been well-informed."
After seeing the case file, Your Majesty would certainly demand an explanation from Xiao Chengxuan. When the Emperor is angered, his wrath is like a thunderbolt. Even the usually favored Xiao Chengxuan might not be able to withstand it.
Jiang Zhao Yuan, of course, rushed to the palace without a moment's delay to plead on his behalf.
Yun Cheng smiled. "I'm afraid Prince Qi is probably still fuming over Han Tong's betrayal. Deceiving the emperor is a capital offense. If he can't clear his name, he's in for a world of trouble."
