"This time, Zhao Jing is to be sentenced to death."
Deng Liao was taken aback: "What death penalty?"
"Deceiving the sovereign." The words from the fallen young Crown Prince showed no sign of his fallen state.
Deng Liao was startled: "Is Your Highness planning to use that Yue Girl as leverage? But the Yue Girl is currently missing—"
"If she's missing, then ensure she never reappears," a slight pause, "Zhao Jing concealed his engagement to court the Princess, even resorting to murder—"
"Murder?!"
In the small chamber, a sudden chill filled the air.
The Crown Prince quietly watched him, eyes dark and deep.
Deng Liao steadied his breath and bowed: "Your Highness's plan is brilliant!"
The person was originally to be executed by the Emperor, but the Crown Prince intended to frame Zhao Jing.
The gamble was that the Emperor would not dare to investigate further, exposing himself.
This plan was bold to the point of arrogance.
