A heavy, suffocating pressure filled the air, gripping everyone's hearts!
Anyone could hear the anger in his words!
Fan Chengzhuo, an official of the court, had been secretly afflicted with a poisonous insect. If this hadn't come to light by chance today, everyone would have remained in the dark!
The thought alone was terrifying!
Especially since... the envoys from Nanhu had yet to arrive in the Capital City, yet the Poisonous Gu Technique had already been used on a minister in the capital!
How could Emperor Muwu not be enraged!?
He feared this vast Capital City had long since become as porous as a sieve!
"Your Majesty, please quell your anger."
Surprisingly, the first to speak was Ye Chutang. With her eyes lowered, her tone remained calm and placid.
"We cannot yet be certain that a poisonous insect is the cause of Mr. Fan's illness. In my opinion, he requires careful observation."
These words, however, did little to appease Emperor Muwu.
