He looked extremely haggard, down and out...
But in those eyes, there was still pride, unyielding.
When I looked at him, he was looking at me too.
Within that cold gaze, there was a hint of a smile, mocking, and somewhat playful.
For some reason, even though the court was silent, I thought I heard Gu Yuanzhou speaking to me.
"Ayun, you want me dead, don't you! I'll grant your wish!"
But when I looked carefully, I realized his lips were tightly sealed and no sound came out. Was I hallucinating?
I covered my face with my hands and quickly shifted my gaze.

My prepared testimony,
and all the documents Su Peisheng had ready to overturn his case, were now invalid.
