The royal family members and civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were all ready to leave the palace and return home.

Some people even started yawning. It takes real concentration to watch a show, and after watching for too long you get tired.

Su Qingyu, in particular, almost fell asleep with her chin supported by one hand.

Just as I relaxed my body and mind, the guard came in.

These two sentences perked up everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

His Royal Highness the War King? Back then, His Royal Highness the War King rebelled and almost massacred the capital.

The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.

There are actually people who want to vindicate His Royal Highness the King of War. Do they think their lives are too long?

The three members of the Li family, who had already stood up and were preparing to leave the palace, were all stunned where they stood.

Li Jingchuan shuddered subconsciously. What happened back then was his nightmare, something he had not dared to face for all these years.

Princess Yongjia and Li Chaoyun were also shocked. Did that man really fall into Shen Zhixiu's hands?

Emperor Xuande frowned, "Zhou Yangze was disloyal and unfilial, and deserved to die. How can we rehabilitate him? He has been dead for more than ten years. Is there anyone who still intends to overthrow the government?"

When talking about the War King Zhou Yangze, Emperor Xuande was still full of hatred.

Shen Zhixiu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to meet this man. It was I who arranged for him to beat the drum for reporting."

Emperor Xuande looked at him calmly, "Shen Zhixiu, you arranged for him to beat the drum to report the incident. Are you trying to say that I wronged Zhou Yangze back then?"

"Don't forget, you are my minister, not Zhou Yangze's."

Shen Zhixiu knew that the emperor had always had a knot in his heart regarding the matter of the Zhan Wang. The Zhan Wang was the prince that the previous emperor had trained as the crown prince, and the Zhan Wang's ability was also superior to that of the current emperor.

Later, because Zhan Wang's maternal grandfather's family was anxious and intended to support Zhan Wang to ascend the throne too early, which violated the taboo of the previous emperor, so Zhan Wang was driven to his fiefdom.

Therefore, after the current emperor ascended the throne, he worked diligently and did not slack off in government affairs. His purpose was to be a wise ruler and prove that he was more suitable for the throne than the War King.

Even though it was Shen Zhixiu who advised him today, he was still on guard and resisted.

Shen Zhixiu said sternly: "Your Majesty, this matter also involves the death of Princess Yongning. Don't you want to know how Princess Yongning died?"

When Princess Yongjia heard this, her heart sank to the bottom.

She turned around and glared at Shen Zhixiu, "Master Shen, you are such a liar. Sister Yongning died in the slaughter of the War King. Is there any need to discuss this matter again?"

She looked at Emperor Xuande again, "Brother, I think Lord Shen is trying to redress Prince Zhan's innocence, and he deserves death."

Shen Zhixiu suddenly emphasized his tone, "Your Majesty, I brought this man into the palace today just to seek the truth for Princess Yongning. It has nothing to do with King Zhan."

Su Yuanzhou also stepped forward, "Uncle Emperor, Yuanzhou also wants to know how my mother died."

When Emperor Xuande heard that Princess Yongning was involved, he said without hesitation: "Puyi, go and bring the person in yourself."

Letting Puyi go is also to prevent someone from intending to silence him. Who knows who will be involved in this matter.

Princess Yongjia's body swayed slightly, and she subconsciously grabbed Li Jingchuan's arm, looking at him in panic.

After the two separated, they rarely got so close. Li Jingchuan lowered his eyes to take a look, but he didn't get rid of her. Instead, he whispered to her in a comforting voice, "It's okay. Words are not enough. They may not have any evidence."

Princess Yongjia was not as calm as Li Jingchuan. Li Jingchuan did not know that Chen Ping and Jia Huai had disappeared. If these two people also fell into Shen Zhixiu's hands, wouldn't there be evidence?

No one else noticed Princess Yongjia's expression, but Su Qingyu saw it clearly.

He sneered in his heart. It was time for the Shen family and Ning Wang Mansion to fight back. He just didn't know if the Li family would have the same luck as the Shen family.

Soon, Li Hu was brought to the main hall.

Even though more than ten years had passed, many people present still recognized Li Hu.

This was the deputy general that His Royal Highness the King of War relied on the most back then.

Before the King of War went to his fiefdom, some people even speculated that General Li would become the chief military general after the King of War ascended the throne.

But who could have imagined that the young general, who was once so talented, would now be limping into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

There is no longer the high spirits of the past, only the tragic heroism of dying bravely.

Ever since Li Hu stopped the Shen family's carriage and told them what happened that year, he had been prepared to die.

Even if the prince was wronged, Emperor Xuande would not allow him to live any longer.

Li Hu walked to the center of the hall and saluted Emperor Xuande.

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of speaking, Shen Zhixiu asked on his behalf.

"Li Hu, in front of the emperor, please tell us what happened back then."

"Why did His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhan suddenly raise his army to rebel, and why did he massacre Princess Yongning's villa?"

"As far as I know, His Royal Highness Prince Zhan was extremely caring towards Princess Yongning."

Li Hu raised his head and suddenly looked at Princess Yongjia.

What he said made everyone present smile from ear to ear.
