The officials who were earnestly presenting evidence against the Seventh Prince saw Li Yuan's expression nearly conceding, but suddenly he stood up.
Especially as his face changed dramatically.
Moments ago, his expression was clearly one of disappointment at unmet expectations, teetering on the edge of despair. Now, however, he was full of authority and joy.
"Saint Emperor?"
"Saint Emperor, though the Seventh Prince, as a prince, turned a blind eye to the crimes of Consort Zhen's family, is his heart truly with the Imperial family or the Jin family?"
"I also request severe punishment for Consort Zhen..."
Though they didn't understand why Li Yuan was suddenly acting this way, the officials were old foxes in the political scene, worried that Li Yuan was intentionally diverting attention, so, after a brief pause, they once again pressed the issue of harshly punishing the Seventh Prince.
A thin smile appeared at the corner of Li Yuan's mouth.
He surveyed the court officials.
