Shen Yanchuan looked at him and suddenly smiled.
"Why the panic, Second Prince? My meaning is that someone framed General Huo, resulting in this miscarriage of justice. It even implicated you, leaving you with the charge of negligent supervision. So, in a way, you've been wronged too, haven't you?"
His tone was soft and unhurried, his expression nonchalant, as if it were a mere passing comment. It made Xiao Chengxuan's reaction seem all the more excessive.
Xiao Chengxuan realized he had lost his composure. He swallowed and forced himself to calm down.
He clenched his fists, forcing a relaxed tone. "Ah, so that's what you meant. Please don't misunderstand, Princely Heir. I also never imagined someone would go to such great lengths, setting an inescapable trap to doom General Huo."
Shen Yanchuan gave a slight nod.
