Chapter 596: Reversal (5)
"It’s true that I brought the old prince into the palace, but there’s a reason. Moreover, I didn’t know that he would harm His Majesty."
As soon as they entered the Yangxin Hall, they heard Song Jingchen’s calm voice.
The imperial guards around him had yet to disperse. Xuanyuan Ce sat down on a stone stool in the courtyard of the Yangxin Hall understandingly, indicating that he would enter after they were done inside.
Shangguan Yu smiled and sat down with him.
Shangguan Pu sneered. "What a good reason. Are you saying that the old prince’s attempted assassination of His Majesty had nothing to do with you?"
"Yes, if I knew that he had such ulterior motives, I definitely wouldn’t have let him enter the imperial study alone."
It turned out that after Song Jingchen entered the palace, he saw a large amount of thick smoke rising in the direction of Fragrant Teahouse. He sensed that something was wrong, so when he reached the door of the imperial study, he excused himself and didn’t follow the old prince in.
In order to prevent the old prince from biting back, he even analyzed the pros and cons with him again.
