Inside the hall, there were no civil or military officials present.
Aside from the Emperor with a gloomy face, there was the crying Empress Han, the Crown Prince, and Prince Rui. Of course, also present was the Imperial Forest Army General who had delivered the decree earlier.
It seemed that Emperor Qin Cang did not intend for this matter to be publicly tried.
Seeing this setup, Mu Qingge already understood Emperor Qin's intentions. Indeed, if it were to be a public trial, the minor punishment for Han Sheng wouldn't hold up.
Emperor Qin was a shrewd man. Since Han Sheng was dead, he naturally didn't want to bear the stigma of protection.
"Mu Qingge, you killed a member of the royal family in public, do you know your crime?" Qin Cang directly gave a rebuke.
Mu Qingge responded confidently and proudly, "Your Majesty, I only sought justice for the Mu Family Army who perished in Yi City."
