The letter in Mu Yan's hand fell to the ground, and Liu Hanlin felt as if his dignity was being trampled upon by Mu Yan.
After all, he was a veteran courtier, and yet Mu Yan dared to treat him this way!
Among the courtiers, some frowned, some were terrified, some secretly rejoiced, and some felt a sense of satisfaction.
But being long accustomed to court life had turned them all into cunning foxes, and none revealed their true emotions.
The Crown Prince felt as though Mu Yan had slapped him in the face publicly since Liu Hanlin was one of his supporters.
Liu Hanlin's aged face could no longer hide his displeasure; veins bulging in his trembling hand, he pointed at Mu Yan's nose and scolded: "Mu Yan, you dare..."
Mu Yan's icy gaze bore down as he looked towards Liu Hanlin: "Why would I not dare? After all these years, I thought Prime Minister Liu understood my way of doing things."
