Gong Jian let out a cold laugh at those words.
This was the funniest joke he had heard to date.
Over the years, he had carried out many tasks for the Emperor, yet it was the first time encountering such an official, who said everything but did nothing.
"So, the two princes kindly decided for the people, yet in the end, still need to clean up your mess? They've turned the matter into something that they deserved to handle, is that it? You truly are exemplary officials of Daqing!"
"Uh."
Prefect He was dumbfounded, his face turning crimson.
He didn't mean that—it was just Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince. They, as minor officials, truly found it difficult to act.
"Lord Gong, it's the Fifteenth Prince and Dowager Consort Yu who were sent to prison. As a subordinate... I'm just a lowly official; how dare I determine their guilt?"
