Chapter 3112: Courage
King Jing Zhen’s office desk was stacked with letters from the officers. Even if he did not open them, he was aware that the content included more bad-mouthing of the prince and requests to take a deeper look into the case involving Steel Scene’s death. He knew the content would be very intense.
It was like if he did not kill Han Sen, he would be a bad king. It was like they were saying if Han Sen was not dead, he would become a tyrannical villain governing the government.
“My King, Mister Crown Prince is not coming to the palace,” a eunuch reported.
King Jing Zhen looked surprised. He knew what his son’s personality was like. No matter how headstrong he was, he still listened to his father. Qin Bai always listened to his commands.
This time, Qin Bai had rejected his summons. This was something that had never happened before.
“Mister Crown Prince said…” The eunuch behaved quite awkwardly.
“Just tell it to me straight,” King Jing Zhen said.
The eunuch said, “The crown prince said if he cannot maintain his friend’s innocence, there is no point in him being a crown prince. He said he would prefer not to be one.”
“Nonsense!” King Jing Zhen shouted. In his heart, he had a growing interest in the enigmatic Han Sen.
