Faced with the censure of the officials, Xiao Juan looked straight ahead and had no intention of defending himself.
The emperor set those memorials aside and said helplessly.
"Duke Lang is indeed a little rash, but I know that he has a good heart. He did all this for the Imperial Court. Let's put this matter aside for today and talk about it slowly in the future."
In a few words, he covered up this matter. The officials felt stifled and looked at Xiao Juan with even more dissatisfaction.
When the morning court session ended, the officials gathered in groups and chatted.
Only Xiao Juan was alone. His hearing was extremely sharp. Even though the officials behind him deliberately lowered their voices, the contents of the conversation still entered Xiao Juan's ears.
"Today, Duke Lang deliberately captured those scholars at will. Tomorrow, he can capture any of us. How can the Imperial Court tolerate him continuing to do whatever he wants?!"
