Xiao Chenglin's eyelid twitched. "I do not understand what Mr. Fan means."
Fan Chengzhuo stared at him, a blazing hatred practically spilling from his eyes.
"Let me ask you! The matter with Zheng Baosu—did you know all along and deliberately deceive me!?"
Xiao Chenglin's heart sank.
He had made countless guesses, but he never thought Fan Chengzhuo would come to the palace today over *this*!
But his expression remained perfectly calm. "I am not sure what Mr. Fan is referring to," he said coolly.
"Still playing dumb!" Fan Chengzhuo suddenly erupted. He looked like he wanted to charge forward, but his body was so weak that even the slightest movement was a struggle. "You knew all along! Yet you repeatedly used him as an excuse to threaten and cajole me! You—! Xiao Chenglin! You deserve to die!"
Emperor Muwu's brow furrowed. Eunuch Li immediately signaled for the guards to step forward and restrain the frenzied Fan Chengzhuo.
