But the more it was like that, the more Geng Qing felt that something was off. After hearing what Nalan Rongyu said, he actually started to believe what he had just said.

There were so many ways to make up for the disaster, so how could a deputy general secretly trade for it? If what Nalan Rongyu said was true, then there was definitely someone behind that Lieutenant General, but who was it that was worthy of him giving up his life for nothing?

Nalan Jie did not believe him in the slightest, and only threw the crimes that Geng Qing had committed onto his body and said angrily: ”Unfilial son, you are still trying to quibble. Take a look at these crimes, which of them weren't committed by you? Tell me, does all of this have anything to do with the crown prince? ”

Geng Qing's eyes turned slightly. In the past few days, he had already gathered quite a bit of evidence against the crown prince, but the emperor would always deny it because of his body's discomfort. Now that he suddenly mentioned it, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, after a brief moment of silence, Nalan Rongyu opened his mouth and said, ”Royal father, please calm your anger, it is all because of this one.

Nalan Rongyu was not an idiot. He had no way to defend the matter of the relief money, and the evidence from the past was conclusive. Even if he wanted to deny it, he could not, because the crown prince was his last resort, he had to protect the crown prince no matter what.

As long as the Crown Prince was still alive, he would have a chance to rise up again. He wouldn't have to worry about losing the hope to rise up again!

”Your Majesty, these are the evidence that the crown prince is aware of …”

”The Crown Prince only found out after the incident and even severely punished his son. He did not report it to royal father because he did not want royal father to be worried. This son is willing to bear all my faults!” Nalan Rongyu kowtowed to express his thanks. He was very clear in his heart that the Emperor was still saying this to protect the crown prince.

With a ”pa” sound, Nalan Jie threw the inkstone on the table next to Nalan Rongyu's feet. The inkstone flew up and heavily smashed Nalan Rongyu's forehead, instantly causing him to bleed profusely.

”This is so infuriating. Immediately scram back to the outside of the pass. If you can't get the edict, don't come back for the rest of your life!” The Nalan Jie hated him for failing, but he was his son after all. Sending him far away to the border was the biggest punishment he could get.

Geng Qing frowned slightly. The emperor's punishment was indeed not light for the Sixth Prince, but for the crown prince … Maybe it was not a punishment at all!

But if the emperor didn't want to touch the crown prince, why did he have to bring him back? Why would he give himself such an important position?

Nalan Rongyu was actually shocked in his heart. He knew that he really had no way to save the situation, and could only hope that after taking on all the blame, the crown prince would be able to make a comeback soon.

Glancing deeply at Geng Qing, Nalan Rongyu kowtowed and expressed his gratitude, ”This son thanks royal father!”

”Let's go!” Nalan Jie closed his eyes, as if he was a lot more dispirited than before.

Nalan Rongyu stood up, but because his legs were shaking, he almost fell to the ground. It was Eunuch Huang who was by his side who was quick with his eyes and hands, supporting him as he said in a voice that only two people could hear: ”Leave him be, if he is not afraid, prince will not make a mess.”

Nalan Rongyu retracted his expression, he received the decree saying thanks and left, he was relegated to the border, but that place was his territory, if he had the military power, then he still had hope!
