By noon, many commoners had gathered at the Main Gate of the royal palace. The commoners seemed to have been incited by something, claiming they were there voluntarily to ask the King to release King Yuchuan.
The King sent Lian Jia with guards to check the Palace Gate first, to see what kind of tricks the Divine Hall was playing. Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun volunteered and followed Lian Jia to the Palace Gate.
The mood of the commoners wasn't very agitated, only occasionally someone would shout, "We beseech His Majesty to release King Yuchuan!"
Others would join in, echoing the chant. Afterward, the clamor would die down, but from the looks on everyone's faces, they didn't seem like they were paid to pretend.
"Ladies and gentlemen, whether King Yuchuan is guilty or not, the King will make a judgment after an inquiry. If the matter is unrelated to King Yuchuan, the King will surely release him from the Palace," Lian Jia used his inner strength to say aloud to the commoners.
