The little eunuchs collectively knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and did not dare to express their anger.
On the dragon bed, Murong Leiting was half-lying, his face looking very bad because he was woken up from his sleep. It was hard to tell whether it was due to terminal illness or anger, his face was bloodless and extremely pale.
Murong Leiting coughed twice and said in a low voice: "Xia Xiang, do you have something important to do when you come here late at night?"
Xia Qingtian, who was standing in front of the bed, looked calm and said: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report. This is the memorial. Please take a look at it."
Murong Leiting glanced at Eunuch Lei beside him. Eunuch Lei immediately stepped forward to take the memorial and presented it to the emperor.
"Corruption?" Murong Leiting took it over and glanced at it, a flash of gloom quickly flashed in his eyes.
What's going on? This is not what Murong Xitian has been doing recently. He plans to take the opportunity to unite officials to impeach Xia Qingtian?
How did Xia Qingtian know?
Murong Leiting couldn't help but read it carefully, and his face became heavier the more he read it. Looking at the contents of the memorial, Xia Qingtian not only knew Murong Xitian's plan, but was the first to report the matter, and actually removed it completely.
"Your Majesty, it was the truth's negligence that allowed several disciples to embezzle money in the name of the truth and do such wrong things that were in vain for the country and the country." Xia Qingtian opened his eyes as Murong Leiting's expression changed.
Full of grievances, he showed off his superb acting skills.
When it comes to the emotional part, Xia Qingtian even sheds tears.
Murong Leiting closed the memorial and looked at Xia Qingtian with deep emotion.
It is normal for an old fox like Xia Qingtian to abandon his disciples to protect himself, but it is unusual to abandon all the disciples involved in the corruption case in such a hurry.
Could it be that he had just received the news, so he had no time to make arrangements and had to abandon his troops to save his commander?
After summing up, Murong Leiting was about to speak when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps heading straight towards the inner court.
His eyes that looked like splashes of ink suddenly lit up: "It looks like something happened again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Xitian, who had changed into court clothes on the way to the palace, walked in.
As soon as he came in, he saw Xia Qingtian standing in front of the bed, his face suddenly darkened, and a terrifying aura of terror emanated from his body.
Sure enough, Xia Qingtian, the old fox, entered the palace.
Murong Xitian looked at His Majesty's face and looked very unhappy. Although he didn't know exactly what happened, he could roughly deduce it.
"Your Majesty." Murong Xitian came to the bed in a few steps and performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.
Murong Leiting coughed twice and asked, "Why did you suddenly enter the palace without letting anyone know in advance?"
"The Queen Mother has been dull and has no appetite recently. In the evening, I got some special cakes, so I went to the palace to bring them to the Queen Mother to taste. When I came back, I saw the lights in Your Majesty's palace were on, so I came over to take a look." Murong
Xi Tian replied while his eyes caught sight of the memorial in Eunuch Lei's hand.
Then he turned his attention to Xia Qingtian: "Since the prime minister came to the palace so late to report, something important must have happened. Could it be a border incident, or another disaster somewhere?"
With that said, he walked over naturally and took the memorial from Eunuch Lei's hand.
Xia Qingtian glanced at Murong Xitian with his shrewd eyes, and then made a mournful gesture: "Hey, I am no longer useful when I am old. I can't even control my own disciples."
Murong Xitian was not surprised at all that Xia Qingtian was the first to report the corruption case.
