Li Lianhua's expression remained calm as he slightly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, since this commoner chose to step through these palace gates, I naturally never thought of turning back. Yesterday, this commoner obtained a letter written in Eunuch Zhao's own hand incriminating the Prime Minister. The letter is currently in Lord Fang's possession. Once Your Majesty has seen it, you will understand who is behind the recent events. Lord Fang and Young Master Fang harbor absolutely no disloyalty toward Your Majesty."
Hearing this, the Emperor frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Li Lianhua, do you know what a grave crime it is to frame a high-ranking official of the imperial court?"
"Naturally, I do," Li Lianhua replied unhurriedly and with composure. "To rashly frame a high-ranking official of the current dynasty is a capital offense. Without conclusive evidence, how would this commoner dare to make reckless accusations against the Prime Minister before Your Majesty?"
