Immortal Baoguang managed to turn the tables with baseless accusations, leaving Lord Wang and Eunuch Wan green in the face as if they had swallowed flies.
However, Yuan Yunzhong started to laugh.
Looking at Lord Wang and Eunuch Wan, he said to Immortal Baoguang, "Immortal, please rise! If someone has indeed wronged you, it is naturally my duty to hold them accountable."
Lord Wang felt a chill in his heart at these words, knowing trouble was brewing.
Yuan Yunzhong, youthful and successful, was notoriously overbearing and unruly, not even considering his father, who was the Vice Chancellor of the Imperial Cabinet, Minister of Punishments, and Grand Scholar of Honour Hall, as someone to regard. How could he possibly refer to himself as "this official" in front of a mere eunuch?
His phrase "it is my duty" hit Lord Wang's head like a hammer.
Was Yuan Yunzhong using Immortal Baoguang's words to frame the purpose of his visit to Jingde Town?
What did the Emperor detest the most?
