Chapter 171: Otherwise, She Would Have Escaped!
Rong Chu was very nervous that he sweated profusely and immediately bowed and said, "No, I dare not! I, Rong Chu, definitely did not mean it!"
Di Fuyi frowned and with the same indifferent voice, he said, "What do you mean by you don’t mean it? Do you think that you are yet to be qualified as an emperor?"
Rong Chu, "..." He did not know what to reply anymore!
Even though the court officials knew that he wanted to be an emperor and could do so too, he could not confess as he was not making any moves yet. However, if he directly denied, he would lose his qualification to ascend the throne!
Therefore, regardless of his answer, it would be still wrong. As Celestial Master Zuo easily trapped him with only a few words, his sweat would soon fill a swimming pool if nothing was done to help him.
After pausing for a moment, he suddenly knelt down on the floor and kowtowed at Celestial Master Zuo, "Celestial Master... I know I’m wrong! Please forgive me."
Celestial Master Zuo smiled at him but did not say anything. Hence, Rong Chu could only keep kowtowing. After about a hundred bows, Rong Chu’s forehead was bleeding to the point that his face was covered with blood. Di Fuyi smiled and said, "Fourth Prince, I did not say that I was mad. Are you trying to disgust me with your bloodily face?"
Rong Chu, "..." He could only stand up and bow again, "My bad. If you can excuse me."
Celestial Master Zuo no longer said anything, and Rong Chu quickly withdrew himself as if he was chased after by an evil spirit!
