"I, Liu Cheng, have a clear conscience; I definitely did not poison you!" Liu Cheng was so angry that his beard was bristling.
"Humph, as if you haven't done any other vile deeds over the years. Even if you swore an oath, I wouldn't believe you!"
Chu Hesheng had already made up his mind that Liu Cheng wanted to murder him, so he was unwilling to believe anything the other party said.
Emperor Yan Tian just watched the two men with a scrutinizing gaze.
After a long while, he finally spoke coldly to Chu Hesheng, "You just said that the Grand Tutor has done some vile deeds, so what exactly are these deeds?"
Hearing the Emperor's words, Chu Hesheng seemed to come to his senses a little.
His heart sank several notches.
He had been so furious earlier that he had spoken without thinking, tearing into a quarrel with Liu Cheng.
"Your Majesty, please discern the truth. Your servant has a clean conscience and has done no vile deeds, let alone plotted against General Chu!"
