He had publicly humiliated him!
The courtiers were all reminded of a crucial fact - Emperor Xuan's temperament was mercurial, and when he turned malicious, he spared no one's dignity.
Emperor Xuan remained unmoved, a cold sneer on his lips. "Silence! I have no desire to hear any more of your nonsense! My court will not tolerate heretics, evildoers, and despicable individuals like you! Men, remove his black hat, strip him of his official attire, and escort him out of the Golden Throne Hall!"
Censor Liu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. "Your Majesty…"
He had intended to plead for mercy, but upon seeing the icy glare in Emperor Xuan's eyes, he dared not utter a word.
If he said anything more, the Emperor would surely reprimand him for his lack of insight.
His entire body went limp as he was dragged out of the chamber.
Officer Tian felt as though he had been slapped across the face, the sting of humiliation searing through him.
