Chapter 836

"Slander!"

"This is naked slander!"

Almost the moment Chu Qingluan's voice rang out, Xu Xuanji suddenly spoke, pointing at Chu Qingluan, trembling with rage.

This Chu Qingluan was truly molded by Gao Yang; the method of slander was exactly the same.

The Second Princess of Great Chu had personally entered the fray; today, he was in danger!

Gao Yang's face revealed shock; he turned to look at Xu Xuanji and said in surprise, "Xu Xiang, it's actually you!"

"You actually colluded with Great Chu to smuggle armor and weapons?"

The words fell.

Xu Xuanji resolutely flicked his sleeves and said, "It is not this old man!"

"This is slander, the same slander as when this Chu Qingluan just slandered General Wang!"

Gao Yang stood beside Xu Xuanji and looked at Chu Qingluan seriously.

"Second Princess of Great Chu, speak properly; is it really the Prime Minister? If you dare to slander randomly again, be careful, or this official will not be polite!"

"At that time, there will be thousands of ways, and I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it!"

Chu Qingluan nodded and said.

"It is him, that's right!"

"Great Qian Xu Xiang Xuanji!"

Chu Qingluan's voice rang out again, filled with certainty.

For a moment, the entire court was shocked, and they all turned their gazes toward Xu Xuanji.

At this moment, even if Wang Zhong was slow-witted, he understood a little; Li Yun's initial attack, the Great Chu Second Princess's affirmation.

Even if this were fake, it had to be made real!

Cui Xinghe, Lu Wen, and Wang Zhong fell silent together; their relationship with Xu Xuanji was average, and if they spoke up for him, the dirty water would be splashed onto them, which would be too unworthy!

Song Li's eyes rolled, and he immediately smelled that it was Gao Yang's attack!

This was a great time to make amends!

He immediately said, "Your Majesty, this concerns the Prime Minister and the Second Princess of Great Chu; this matter should be thoroughly investigated!"

Gao Yang immediately cast an appreciative gaze toward Song Li, and Song Li returned an expression of reassurance.

Everything was understood without words!

He, Song Li, was just as his name suggested; he should lead the charge!

"Your Majesty!"

Xu Xuanji shouted loudly, his aged eyes looking at Wu Zhao.

Now Xu Xuanji prayed that Wu Zhao was not involved, and that this was merely the Living Yama's attack.

Otherwise, once this charge was confirmed, he feared his entire clan would be gone today, but what made him angriest was that he clearly knew it was the Living Yama's handiwork, yet he couldn't say it out loud.

Gao Yang, this guy, was leading all of this, yet he still wore a face of wanting to restore his innocence!

How could there be such a shameless person in the world!

Xu Xuanji's molars ached from clenching them!

"Based solely on the words of the Chu Kingdom, I still believe the Prime Minister is innocent. The Prime Minister has worked hard and shed blood for my Great Qian; I don't think he could do such a thing!"

"Lord Gao, what do you think?"

Wu Zhao spoke solemnly.

"Your Majesty!"

Xu Xuanji shouted, his face moved.

But Gao Yang spoke beside Xu Xuanji, "Your subject also believes in the Prime Minister; for this Second Princess of Great Chu to want to slander the Prime Minister, there is simply no way!"

"It just so happens that the Chu diplomatic mission is also in the Imperial City; why doesn't Your Majesty summon them? If it really is the Prime Minister colluding with Great Chu, given the Prime Minister's status and position, he must have informed the Chu Emperor. The Great Princess of Chu came from the Chu Imperial City and must know!"

While speaking, Gao Yang patted Xu Xuanji on the shoulder and said to him, "Xu Xiang, rest assured, this official has been at odds with framing and slander all his life; today, I guarantee to restore your innocence."

Xu Xuanji's eyes widened.

The sky had collapsed!

The Second Princess of Chu was enough for him to handle, and now the Great Princess of Chu was coming too?

Xu Xuanji just wanted to say something when he heard Wu Zhao's voice ring out, "Xu Xiang, do not worry; the innocent will clear themselves. If the Chu Kingdom really cannot produce evidence, I will surely make the decision for you, even if it means going to war with the Chu Kingdom, I will execute the Second Princess of Great Chu."

"How can I allow others to slander the officials of my Great Qian?"

"Summon the Great Princess of Chu into the palace!"

Wu Zhao's voice was firm and resonant.

For a moment, some officials who were unaware of the truth and reacted slowly were directly moved by Wu Zhao's words.

"Great Qian has Your Majesty and Lord Gao; the Prime Minister is worth it!"

"Willing to die for Your Majesty!"

"If Great Chu slanders, then we fight to the death!"

Chu Qingluan stood to the side, her phoenix eyes scanning Gao Yang and Wu Zhao; only one thought remained in her mind.

Adulterers!

Colluding together!

Shameless!

A perfect match!

But she also had to admire Wu Zhao; she was worthy of being the Emperor of Great Qian, saying these words not only without a hurting conscience but without even blushing.

Immediately, her pitying gaze fell on Xu Xuanji, and she said to herself in her heart.

"I'm sorry, Xu Xiang!"

At this time.

Gao Yang continued to speak, "Your Majesty, since the Second Princess says the Prime Minister smuggled armor and weapons!"

"Your subject has another plan to restore the Prime Minister's innocence!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuanji's eyes suddenly widened.

Again?

"Lord Gao, this is absolutely unnecessary!"

Xu Xuanji hurriedly spoke to stop him.

Gao Yang immediately reached out to interrupt, saying to Xu Xuanji, "Xu Xiang, there is no need to be polite with this official."

"Censor Li suddenly impeached you, and no one has left the Jin Luandian, so there is no possibility of news leaking. This official has always heard that the Prime Minister is incorruptible; as long as we send the Imperial Guard Commander Li Long to search the Prime Minister's residence for any gold and jewelry of unknown origin, this can also restore the Prime Minister's innocence!"

Hum!

Xu Xuanji's head buzzed.

He had long held the position of Prime Minister; although he was not like some prime ministers who held power over the court, he had received many gifts in secret.

Among all these civil and military officials, who didn't have some dirt on their hands?

Gao Yang insisted on saying he was incorruptible; this was a huge pit!

"Lord Gao..." Xu Xuanji wanted to refuse.
