Above the Golden Hall, there was a dead silence.
Emperor Zhaowu, Ye Chen, had a solemn expression on his face. After the civil and military officials finished their routine reports on national affairs, the atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
Jingzhao Mansion's governor, Deng Xingzhi, sighed inwardly before taking the initiative to step forward and report on the progress of his investigation into the spreading rumors. As he spoke, the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly oppressive.
After Deng Xingzhi finished speaking, the court remained silent. It wasn't until much later that Emperor Zhaowu's voice was heard from above, "Deal with this case according to your opinion."
Emperor Zhaowu issued no further orders, but Deng Xingzhi's brow furrowed even more. It was then that he heard the Eunuch Supervisor's voice, "The court is adjourned."
