Everyone was startled and quickly turned their heads.
The speaker was none other than their commander, the Right Guard General Wang Shaoji.
With a cold smile, he said, "The one truly responsible for stabbing your brothers and getting them exiled and their homes ransacked is still doing just fine. And yet, you spend all day looking for trouble with the Jiangdu Palace guards, who will never make it in life. Does that help?"
At these words, everyone fell silent.
One of the Imperial Guards cautiously asked, "General, who do you mean is the one truly harming us?"
Wang Shaoji glanced at him.
Another Assistant General, Fu Jiang, behind him quickly said, "You might not know this, but right after the incident, the General met with Your Majesty to request punishment for the Jiangdu Palace guards, and Your Majesty had actually agreed. But—"
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly asked, "But what?"
"But someone dissuaded Your Majesty."
"Who?"
