The Emperor was so furious he stood with his hands on his hips, panting for breath. A storm was brewing on his brow.
Commander Lu, the head of the Imperial Guards, hurried in. Seeing the Emperor's expression, he hesitated to speak.
"What is it now? Speak!" the Emperor snapped, his tone foul.
Commander Lu lowered his head. "Reporting to Your Majesty, I fear the matter with the Li Family is not so simple. Li Hai's illegitimate younger son, Li Linghao, is also requesting an audience."
The Emperor now loathed the Li Family with a passion.
"We have no desire to hear their fabricated excuses. They're just here to plead for mercy again. Li Yuyi stole credit for Ningning's achievement and claimed it as her own. Who's this Li Linghao trying to steal credit from?"
However, Commander Lu raised his head, his gaze profound. "Your Majesty, Li Linghao wishes to… report his father, Li Hai, for the cruel murder of Mr. Zhang Liu."
