Chapter 166: The Fox corners the King

Chu Yun wished he could have seen all these events unfold from the perspective of the King, and the few gathered officials who were present at his side.

But he knew the chain of events went something like this:

Xiao Yuan burst into whatever hall his father was in, looking very haggard, and talking disjointedly about treason, and conspiracy, and other such things that didn't make much sense, but must have filled the King with glee, especially when he heard Xiao Zai's name being mentioned in conjunction with them.

The King didn't waste time, he called an emergency court session -- all the ministers, judges, and officials were to come to the Crowning Moon royal palace at once.

Treason was serious business, and it seemed history was about to repeat itself.
