Unexpectedly, he completely refused to cooperate, staying neutral, does he really think this will gain Chu Heng's favor?
Chu Heng straightened up, his voice clear: "It seems this matter cannot be concluded yet. Lord Guo need not rush. If this matter truly is my doing, I will accept the legal consequences. If I am being framed, once the Ministry of Punishment clarifies the truth, I hope Lord Guo will not be so hasty in judgment next time."
"Those who know might think Lord Guo is righteous; those who don't might believe he is deliberately framing the loyal."
"You..." Imperial Censor Guo, hearing his righteous words, was furious, face turning dark: "Even if Lord Chu delays, it won't change the facts!"
"Your Majesty, I am wronged, I beg for justice." Chu Heng directly addressed Emperor Xuanming.
"Your Majesty, the evidence is right in front. No matter how Lord Chu argues, it is a fact. Please reconsider, Your Majesty." Imperial Censor Guo quickly spoke up as well.
