As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present shuddered.
Inside the Yihua Palace—
Lu Yichen looked down at the people below, his eyes icy cold, only warming slightly when they fell upon Zhong Niangyao.
There weren't many people in the palace, apart from the concerned party, Zhong Niangyao, there were also witnesses such as Hua Rui, Wei Ruo, and Yuan Hao. Of course, Linxi and a few other acquaintances were also present. As for others, they had not entered.
Or perhaps it should be said, not everyone was qualified to enter the palace.
Yuan Hao reported everything he had witnessed without omitting a single detail or adding any personal sentiment.
After surveying the room, Lu Yichen slowly spoke, "So, you didn't actually see Yaoyao take action, did you?"
Merely using that address made everyone present see Lu Yichen's favoritism towards Zhong Niangyao.
Wei Ruo and Hua Rui's hearts suddenly skipped a beat; they had a feeling that Yaohui might indeed escape being blamed today.
