The list went on and on. Yan Zheyun had spent the entire afternoon grilling Shuangxi for the full story, making sure he hadn't missed out on anything that would help him to put forward a case against the perpetrators of the incident, many of whom were standing in the room with him now. He'd also memorised the summary the imperial physician had presented to him of Hua Zhixuan's condition.

Back then, he'd catalogued the evidence too.
