Xiao Chengxuan instinctively looked in the direction of the voice, his heart suddenly lurching.
'Shen Yanchuan… why is he asking that?'
'Could it be—'
'Impossible!'
'Shen Yanchuan wasn't even in the Capital City back then, so how could he possibly…'
Xiao Chengxuan forced himself to remain calm. "Since he claims I did those things, then naturally I'll demand evidence from him!"
Shen Yanchuan nodded slightly, as if in understanding.
"Prince Qi has a point. Without evidence, it would be an unjust accusation. It would be even worse if an innocent man were wronged, as in the case of General Huo all those years ago."
His words were spoken casually, but to Xiao Chengxuan, they were grating. He couldn't shake the feeling that Shen Yanchuan was implying something.
But he couldn't be bothered to argue over a few words right now.
