The Retired Emperor himself understands this principle. Even if the Fifteenth Prince dies, he himself is to blame; isn't it his own doing? He could have been a proper prince, yet he chose not to act like one!
"All the evidence is in the hands of the secret guards. I will have them cooperate with you. Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince need not return to the capital; they shall be executed right here.
Let the people of Daqing Kingdom know that no matter whether one is a prince or a princess, once a crime is committed, none shall escape."
Qian Jiyun said.
"Understood, Prince Zhan."
Gong Jian responded. That was his thought as well; the issue with Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince must be swiftly handled, as it is just one of the reasons he has come to the Northern Lands. More importantly, there is the matter of the drought in the Northern Lands.
"Prince Zhan, Prince An Yang, if there are no other matters, I shall take my leave."
