This... is too easy to ruin!
But he happened to meet the emperor's gaze, which was sinister and cold, and he was so frightened that he lowered his head and wrote down the decree stroke by stroke.
The crown prince's face was paler than a dead man's. He kowtowed desperately, trying to shout that he was wrong and that he was willing to be the empress's son.
The emperor, no longer wanting to listen, narrowed his eyes and said, "Guards, I don't want to see the Second Prince. Drag him out."
