Chapter 605 Questioning the Fault (2)_1
Having said everything in one breath, Mo Yan held her breath, concentrated, and respectfully bent down, touching her forehead to the ground. She remained there with her head lowered for a long time. With this kneel, she willingly accepted her position, not for anything else but for the relatives still at home waiting for her return.
Without explanation of why she could "command beasts," nor a defense for her coincidental presence in the Savage Beast Forest, Mo Yan knew that if Emperor Huian was determined to pin the beast attack on her, even if she had mouths all over her body, she would not be able to clarify.
All she hoped was to convey that she and her family harbored no ill intentions toward the Imperial Family and express their gratitude to Emperor Huian, wishing he would drop the idea. Although she knew this possibility was slim, she could not just do nothing.
Looking at the woman kneeling motionlessly before the hall, Emperor Huian’s expression was inscrutable, leaving everyone guessing what he was thinking at that moment.
Xiao Ruiyuan watched the woman kneeling on the cold floor tiles with a chilling gaze. His hands by his sides were clenched so tightly that he tore the skin in his palm without even noticing.
The atmosphere in the hall seemed to solidify for a time, pressing down on Mo Yan until she could hardly breathe. At this moment, her heart was far from the calm appearance she showed; the back of her shirt was already soaked with dense cold sweat from her unseen back.
Outside the traveling palace, Yan Junyu absentmindedly teased Little Flower with a bone, occasionally glancing toward the door. Seeing that half an hour had passed and no one had come out, his concern grew deeper and deeper.
