Gate of God

The Crown Prince Lin Tianrong was infuriated. However, he could not help but be fearful of what Fang Zhengzhi had in his hand. This was because the situation today was extremely unfavorable to him.

After all, the Majesty had just reprimanded him.

He did not wish to be entangled in further complications after that incident.

However...

Fang Zhengzhi seemed bent on giving him trouble. After opening the letter, he gave an exceptionally surprised and horrified expression.

"Wow, so this is what happened!"

He then gave a series of astonished gasps to attract the courtiers’ attention. All of them then stared at Fang Zhengzhi with unmoving gazes.

"What exactly is written in the letter?"

"Could it be the conversations between the Southern Region Noblelite and the Crown Prince?"

"It should not be the case. The Southern Region Noblelite had already been dead for more than a year. How could the Crown Prince be in possession of this letter?"

The courtiers were all curious, though none of them believed that the letter in Fang Zhengzhi’s hand was a real copy.

Talking about curiosity...

Ping Yang’s curiosity was definitely higher than anyone else.

Hence, when Fang Zhengzhi released a sound of exclamation, Ping Yang quickly grabbed the letter from his hand without any hesitation.

"Hm?" Ping Yang swept her gaze across the letter as her usual rosy and playful demeanor was slowly drawn out from her face. Her pair of clear eyes seemed stuck to the letter as she displayed an incredulous expression.

Clearly, Ping Yang was extremely shocked.

This led the courtiers to feel horrified.

If only Fang Zhengzhi displayed such an expression, they would all have thought that the problem lay in the letters. However, if even Ping Yang had such an expression, then these letters might be pointing to some clues that they never discovered.

As this thought flashed through their minds...

Ping Yang suddenly grabbed all the letters from Fang Zhengzhi’s hand and smirked condescendingly at him.

After which...

Ping Yang then bolted towards the Emperor Lin Mubai.

As the Crown Prince Lin Tianrong saw this scene, he became extremely anxious. To think that the letter was now in Ping Yang’s hands. Furthermore, she was going to hand it over to the Emperor!

How could he not be anxious!

"What kind of letter is that? What evidence did this person create out of thin air?" The Crown Prince widened his eyes, hoping to get a glimpse of the content of the letter.

But he was unable to.

He regretted his previous actions. Why did he have to deny his connections to those letters? Why did he have to say they did not belong to him.

If...

If he had not said those words? Then these letters would never have been torn open, not would it land into Ping Yang’s hands and then in the hands of the Emperor.

"Fang Zhengzhi, it is not so easy to frame me, the Crown Prince!" Lin Tianrong gritted his teeth and stared at Fang Zhengzhi accusingly.

After King Duan saw this scene, he also topped in his tracks and a hint of doubt flashed through his eyes. Up till now, he had also thought that Fang Zhengzhi’s actions were way too fake.

Although the outcome of his actions seemed to be satisfactory.

However...

Would such a childish technique work on the Emperor Lin Mubai?

Even if those letters truly contained information regarding Lin Tianrong’s connections with the Southern Region Noblelite, the Emperor Lin Mubai probably would not believe them.

After all, it was a simple task to forge a letter. If one could mimic a person’s handwriting, it was not a difficult thing to do.

This was King Duan’s opinion of the situation, and also the all the courtiers were having.

As for the Emperor Lin Mubai...

His face seemed to be expressionless as he watched Ping Yang running over with the letters. He then stared at the letters in her hand.

In the end, he still took over the letters.

He then slowly opened the letter in his hands.

The courtiers watched intently as Lin Mubai took over the letters. They were carefully observing the minor changes in his facial expression

"Hm?" At that moment, Lin Mubai’s lips opened ever so slightly and emitted a soft hum. At that same time, his eyes glimmered in shock.

He then looked up at Fang Zhengzhi. That gaze was akin to the one a hunter would cast on his ferocious prey before he commenced his kill.

It was both shocking and inexplicable.

Many a time, people thought that a hunter would be extremely elated to see a ferocious beast. However, when a hunter truly meets a ferocious beast that exceeded their imaginations, joy and happiness was a far cry from their actual feelings.

It was a battle.

A battle for life and death.

The survival of the fittest!

Lin Mubai’s gaze was of such a nature. He wanted to detect something from Fang Zhengzhi’s face, and although he failed terribly, he still kept his gaze tightly on him.

Time....

Seemed to have stopped.

Everyone looked at Lin Mubai expectantly while the Lin Mubai observed Fang Zhengzhi with interest.

Apart from them, both Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu were also watching.

Of course, Wen Dabao also stared intently, although the expression on his face was totally different. His expression was one of fear, a fear that made him tremble with unease.

After god knows how long, Lin Mubai cast his glance away from Fang Zhengzhi and at the same time, folded the letter in his hands.

"Tianrong!" Lin Mubai cast his glance towards the Crown Prince Tianrong.

"You son is present!" Lin Tianrong was shocked as he stared into the eyes of Lin Mubai. Despite not knowing what happened, he subconsciously knelt down.

"Do you know what sin you have committed?" Lin Mubai had a cold expression on his face.

The courtiers were all shocked at this result. This was because the Emperor would not question the Crown Prince with this tone without any basis.

Sin?

That would mean that he was guilty!

But what crime did the Crown Prince commit?

Although Lin Mubai did not explicitly state his crime, the courtiers only had one possibility in their minds. Could it be that the Crown Prince indeed maintained connections with the Southern Region Noblelite?

How could that be!

No courtiers would believe in such a thing.

Crown Prince Lin Tianrong was even more perplexed at the situation. He couldn’t have not known what was in his study room. How could he miss out on a letter from the Southern Region Noblelite if it was truly present?

It is a fake!

Everything is a fake!

"Father, Fang Zhengzhi is wronging me. I have never sent any letters to the Southern Region Noblelite. Father has to believe me!" Lin Tianrong gave an expression which showed that he was being wronged.

"Is that so?" Lin Mubai still maintained his stern tone.

"Father, please think carefully. My study room has already been destroyed. The entire room was burned to a crisp. How can there still be any letters present in this situation? Besides, even if there are letters present, how can it be regarding the Southern Region Noblelite. How can father believe in this coincidence! Fang Zhengzhi is the one who had created this fake letter to frame me. Father, please make the correct decision!"

The Crown Prince Lin Tianrong was bitter. How could he, a prestigious Crown Prince, be framed in his own residence by such childish tactics. How could he not be bitter about this?

Fang Zhengzhi!

I, the Crown Prince, will kill you!

"The entire study room was burnt? Destroyed? Are you sure?" The moment Lin Mubai heard this sentence, another cold presence enveloped the area. Everyone could feel immense pressure coming from him.

The sudden change in the situation left the courtiers with cold sweat breaking out from their forehead.

However, they still could not understand...

Why would Lin Mubai be so infuriated after reading the letter? Why would he not first check the validity of the letters?

This should not be the case!

Judging from Emperor Lin Mubai’s intelligence, he should not be acting too rashly, especially when this issue was related to the Crown Prince.

What exactly...

Did the letters contain?

"You son... Your son..." Lin Tianrong felt perspiration dripped down from his forehead. However, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Your son would never lie to Your Majesty!"

"You bastard, how dare you deny the accusations!" Lin Mubai finally released his fury as a golden glow lit up in his eyes.

This was a blinding golden brilliance.

It was exactly the same as the light emitted when Hua Fei saved Lin Tianrong.

As this golden light shone across the room, a bright voice bellowed across the atmosphere. It was as though the dragon had offered his mighty roar.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"Father, please calm down!"

Voices rang consecutively across the room. Following which, all the figures knelt down in respect. Even King Duan Lin Xinjue also knelt down subconsciously.

However, the golden brilliance surrounding Lin Mubai did not seem to be diminishing. IN fact, it was becoming brighter every second, as though he was bathed in golden light.

At the same time, a giant shadow seemed to be appearing behind him. It looked like an extremely huge creature.

"I will ask you one more time. Do you know what sin you have committed?"

"Your son, Your son... do not know of any sins!" The Crown Prince had long kept his head stuck firmly to the ground. However, he gritted his teeth and stood his ground.

Most importantly, he did not even know what crime he had committed, not to mention the content of the letter that Fang Zhengzhi gave Lin Mubai.

How then, could he have admitted to anything?

"Hmph, it looks like you are not going to admit it!" Lin Mubai then bellowed and swung his arms. IN an instant, a golden light was released from his body and rushed into the horizon.

The night sky was instantly illuminated.

The countless stars dazzling in the night sky seemed to lose their luster as well.

Boom! A loud explosion rang from the horizon. Following which, a golden ray shot downwards as though a meteor had fallen from the sky, smashing onto the study room which was already completely charred.

Bang!

Rubble and dust exploded in all directions.

The golden light blew up all the ashes in the area. Countless black flakes danced around in the air and covered the horizon.
