With those words, silence fell.
Even the ministers who had spoken in defense of Prime Minister Mu moments earlier... found themselves unable to utter a single word.
They knew the Rain Pavilion's reputation, but this… what scared them even more was that the Empress had actually managed to find safe houses belonging to them... those hidden rats in the deepest parts of the dynasty.
They weren't sure whether to be impressed or terrified at this feat.
Li Feng's mouth also opened slightly at this row upon row of evidence.
Yue Lan, who was beside him, blinked cutely before reaching out and gently closing his mouth.
Fen Ling's gaze remained as cold as ever as she pressed forward.
"You asked this Empress for evidence. So this Empress investigated."
"For thirty-six years of corruption."
"For twenty-nine years of communication with a lawless organization no different from a demonic sect."
"And for decades of embezzling the dynasty's wealth."
