It was only after kneeling for an entire night that Nalan Jie summoned Nalan Rongyu. Because he had knelt for too long, Nalan Rongyu was practically unable to stand up and walk normally.

Nalan Jie was dressed in bright yellow dragon robes, his complexion looked good, and there were no signs of him being severely ill, but his face was filled with anger, and the gaze he used to look at Nalan Rongyu with was filled with even more disgust.

He had obviously put aside the matter regarding the crown prince for the time being. It was all because of this useless son of his that he did not have the time to worry about the crown prince!

”Father, your son is guilty. I am willing to accept punishment!” Nalan Rongyu kneeled on the ground, his face pale white, looking extremely haggard.

Nalan Jie coldly snorted, ”You know your crimes? What crime do you know of? ”

Although he did not like Nalan Rongyu, he did not hate him either. In fact, there was a trace of guilt in his heart whenever he mentioned that Nalan Rongyu had gotten injured on the battlefield, and he felt that he should pay more attention to him.

After Nalan Rongyu defeated Silver Moon, the Nalan Jie was prepared to give him the title of king. However, he never expected that the first thing he would do after returning to the imperial court would be to help the crown prince set a trap for Nalan Rongxuan!

After that, Geng Qing found the items again. It was only then did Nalan Jie realize that the little son who was running around fighting for him in the battlefield actually had such an important role to play in the battle for storage.

Nalan Rongyu knelt on the ground with a thump, and replied with a hoarse voice: ”This son was confused before, and has done many wrong things. Please punish me, royal father.

Nalan Rongyu glanced at Geng Qing, who was standing beside Nalan Jie. He knew that there were some crimes that could not be explained, but since disaster relief was a major event, he was unwilling!

Nalan Jie raised his eyebrows, grabbed the paperweight on the table and threw it at him. ”Unfilial son, you're still trying to argue!”

”Father, is it true? It's Vice Minister Zhang. He and Second Imperial Brother are the ones who planned this …”

Nalan Rongyu had already determined that Vice Minister Zhang had betrayed the Crown Prince and joined hands with the Second Prince to design him. However, before he could finish, he was slapped in the face by the Nalan Jie with a imperial report, ”You unrepentant unfilial son, this is your second royal brother pleading for mercy for you, you actually spouted such nonsense!”

”…” Nalan Rongyu was also shocked, he never thought that his second brother would actually plead for him, and then he understood, he was lacking another move! This way, the Second Prince would only push him into an even more irreparable situation.

”Father, this son really did not misappropriate the food for the disaster! Even if this son of mine is a bastard, I have never thought of making a fortune on the basis of refugees. royal father, this son truly does not have one! ”

Nalan Rongyu could not accept it, he really could not accept it. Although he coveted the position of emperor and did not care what methods he used, in his eyes, these displaced refugees were just pitiful people. He had never thought of relying on them to get rich.

Geng Qing's eyes flashed, the case of the relief case this time was indeed strange, investigating it was not too difficult, it was Nalan Rongyu's deputy general and a official in the Department of Revenue who colluded with each other, and planned this matter together.

Regarding the crimes, regardless of whether it was the assistant general or the officials from the Ministry of Revenue, the two of them admitted it, but they were not willing to reveal where the relief money was hidden. Furthermore, the deputy general said that this had nothing to do with Nalan Rongyu, and it gave people a feeling that there was nothing wrong with the place.
