But he had not yet received a reply, and while he was nervously pacing back and forth at home, the imperial decree summoning him to the palace from Emperor Jing arrived.
He did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly rushed to the palace in a flurry.
Just as he was about to pay his respects, Emperor Jing coldly spoke: "Mr. Wei, the commander of the southern gate says that on the night of the incident, your obese nephew left the city through the southern gate with a group of Protectors and headed to Liangzhou. What do you have to say?"
Mr. Wei was struck as if by lightning upon hearing this, and his knees gave way, making him kneel on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please have discernment! This old minister has never sent any nephew to Liangzhou!"
Emperor Jing's voice turned even colder: "But he used the Jade Pendant of the Wei Family to leave the city."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. I am innocent. This old minister truly knows nothing of this! There must be someone framing me."
