Rebirth of the Strongest Empress

1315 Impeachment 2

But Lord Hu said, “Of course, I would not dare to make casual speculations involving the Crown Prince. When I received the news, I specially sent men to the various regions to investigate. The investigations showed no discrepancies. I also ordered men to bring some of the officials and citizens from these border cities here. If His Majesty does not believe me, he can summon here for questioning.”

The Eternal Emperor immediately summoned them to the hall for a confrontation.

The officials all came from far-flung border cities and had never seen the Emperor before. Upon meeting him, they were filled with fear and trembling and fell to their knees in unison. The citizens quivered even more violently and kneeled behind them.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

“Look up. Let me ask you, how did the Crown Prince, Ling Yan, do when he was in your cities to perform disaster relief?” The Eternal Emperor asked sternly.

“There is no need to hesitate when answering His Majesty. You just need to speak plainly. If you dare to deviate from the truth, you will immediately be dragged out and flogged to death!” The Second Princess said coldly.

All of them immediately became so frightened that they shivered all over and stammered.

“When the Third… Prince was at our borders, he did his very best and did not do anything inappropriate…”

“Yes, yes, yes. The Crown Prince attended to everything personally and loved his subjects as he would his own children.”

When the officials from the various cities spoke, they strenuously praised Ling Yans efforts.

The Eternal Emperor calmed down a little, but at that moment, the citizens kneeling behind the city officials suddenly turned pale. They raised their heads and said, “Your Majesty! Please give us justice!”

This sudden turn of events startled the ministers, who were beginning to suspect there was some mistake in Lord Hus investigations.
