Zhao Zhuang Chen gave a very valid argument. It should have delayed the punishment for a while…at least that was what he had hoped.
He had thought of sending someone to Qin by then and asking his uncle to involve himself with this investigation so that his mother could be saved.
However, he had never thought that his words would be answered with such a casual answer from none other than his so-called father.
'Zhen had investigated the matter ourselves years ago, Zhuang Chen. Qin Wenya had even threatened Zhen with Qin Empire waging war against Xin if Zhen revealed anything about her deeds. The present investigation also leads to the same results. What more do you want!"
Zhao Wang Lei's cold voice seemed to be calm but it held the rage anyone could decipher.
What could have Zhao Zhuang Chen said? He couldn't really say in front of so many ministers that he didn't believe the Emperor himself.
