"Emperor, I am wronged! Your Majesty..."
"Emperor, you must not listen to the slanders of vile people! Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
As soon as the Emperor finished speaking, the hall echoed with the voices of two people proclaiming their innocence. Shortly afterward, they were dragged out by the imperial guards.
"Father, I believe Lord Wan was framed by a villain. Please order a thorough investigation. Lord Wan would never commit such a deed."
The Third Prince, seeing his grandfather was dragged out, hurriedly knelt and kowtowed. His grandfather could not possibly do such a thing.
"Father! Third Brother is right, this matter requires a thorough investigation!" The Eldest Prince also quickly knelt. Song Shuqing was his concubine's father; both emotionally and logically, he had to plead on his behalf.
"This subject pleads for Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation." At this moment, several officials stood up to plead for the two.
