Wang Guo knelt down with a thump. The moment he couldn't find the old doctor, he knew that he was probably already tossed out by Fang Qin. Fang Qin's face was merciful but his heart was cruel. Feelings and morality generally did not mean anything to him. He should have known better — at first, that Fang and Lu Chang were also incredibly close, didn't he directly sell him out, stabbing him in the back?

The servant shouted out his grievances and was dragged aside, his mouth blocked after a few shouts. Fang Qin said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang is the Imperial Uncle of our court. Your subject doesn't believe that he could do such a thing as communicating with foreign countries. I also ask Your Majesty to make a clear observation and return the uncle's innocence."

Wang Guo: "..."

Uncle Wang's words of grievance were blocked by Fang Qin's words. He originally intended to shout for discrimination of injustice. He wanted to gamble that the Emperor still had affection for his uncle, or did not want to kill an old minister from the last dynasty and open his net to let him go.

If they were to make a big deal out of this, it was the big crime of falsely preaching the imperial edict and disrespecting the Emperor. But if the Emperor himself did not want to investigate it, it could be passed off as Uncle Wang being senile and confused, mishearing the decree plus meddling in and creating a misunderstanding.

But Fang Qin was too cruel. When he opened his mouth like this, Li Feng would not be able to protect Wang Guo even if he wanted to do so. That was to admit that his uncle really had a problem. If Wang Guo was truly clean, he would welcome a thorough investigation. The problem was, he was completely dirty.

Would the Barbarians cover for him? Would the gifts sent to him cover for him? Would the traitorous eunuchs cover for him?

Wang Guo's heart was crossed at the moment. As it had already come to this, except stirring it up even further, he could not think of any other solution.

"This old subject's crime is worth a thousand deaths," Wang Guo said. "At that time, I truly was eager to see Yan Wang, thus I had distorted Your Majesty's meaning."

Li Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. "I don't know when Yan Wang had become a rare treasure that was difficult to seek. Normally, you all see each other in court everyday, you have never been close to him. He only took a two-day vacation but Imperial Uncle already missed him so much?"
