Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Unfortunately, Qian Jiyun ruined his beautiful plan.
Prince Lei Ting’s gaze was as intense as poison, piercing through the black cloth and drilling several holes in Qian Jiyun’s body.
As the defender of the southern border, Prince Zhan Yun’s fame in the capital was immense.
Many people gathered outside the capital’s city gate, most of them noble children, to watch the commotion. After all, they had heard Prince Zhan Yun was escorting Prince Lei Ting, who had made a mistake, back.
Of course, they were only ordinary nobles and did not know what Prince Lei Ting had done.
However, they were dumbfounded when they saw a prisoner’s cart among the 500 soldiers. No matter what mistake Prince Lei Ting made, he was still a member of the royal family.
Why would Qian Jiyun use a prisoner’s cart? And there was a black cloth covering it!
Was he trying to deceive them? Did he think they would not know that the person in the prisoner’s cart was Prince Lei Ting?
“Who is that?”
“What kind of question is that? Other than Prince Lei Ting, who else could it be?”
“Prince Lei Ting? No way. He’s from the royal family. How can they use a prisoner’s cart?”
“They’re even using a prisoner’s cart? What crime has Prince Lei Ting committed? Did he sell the border to an enemy kingdom?”
The people who came to welcome Qian Jiyun began to whisper among themselves.
Even commoners like them cared a lot about their reputation, let alone the royal family. Prince Zhan Yun was really bold to escort Prince Lei Ting in a prisoner’s cart.
However, although they thought so, they did not say that.
Everyone began to speculate what crime Prince Lei Ting had committed for Prince Zhan Yun to be undaunted by the Emperor’s wrath and drag him back in a prisoner’s cart openly.
Prince Lei Ting, who was in the prisoner’s cart, was not as embarrassed because he could not be seen.
But his face burned when he heard their words. He had always been high and mighty in his life. He had never been so embarrassed!
He decided he would take Qian Jiyun to court for insulting the royal family when he met the Emperor later, regardless of whether he would be convicted!
However, unexpectedly…
After they entered the city, Qian Jiyun instructed Yan Nuo to bring An Jiuyue and Qian Yiyun back to the Prince Zhan Yun Residence. Then, he got ready to enter the palace to meet the Emperor.
The prisoner’s cart arrived outside the palace. The Emperor’s personal servant was already waiting there.
Qian Jiyun dismounted his horse and walked up to the servant.
“Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Zheng.”
“Prince Zhan Yun, you’re too polite. It’s not hard work. You must be the one having it hard.”
Although Eunuch Zheng had always served the Emperor, he was very upright.
The royal family’s blood ran through Prince Lei Ting, who lived in luxury and privilege, but he still sought out those who plotted against them. Eunuch Zheng looked down on him.
“Your Highness, I’m here to relay the Emperor’s oral decree. Prince Lei Ting shall be sent to the prison of the Court of Judicial Review. You may bring the evidence into the palace to meet the Emperor.”
“What?!”
Before Qian Jiyun could reply, Prince Lei Ting screamed in horror.
If he could not meet the Emperor, Qian Jiyun could fabricate stories about him in front of the Emperor, and he would not be able to defend himself!
“You old thing, are you going against me on purpose? How can the Emperor say such things? You must have faked his oral decree, right?”
