Yesterday, no matter what he said or did, his charges were not to be reduced by a single count, and his death was certain.
Avoiding the noisy clamor, the Fifth Prince's gaze fell upon Jin Zijin.
He was the only one in the hall who had remained silent from beginning to end.
He said with a mocking laugh, "What's the matter? Isn't the Crown Prince taking this opportunity to claim credit?"
Faced with his provocation, Jin Zijin remained silent as if all the noise had nothing to do with him.
He appeared as an outsider observing everything.
Seeing Jin Zijin's calm demeanor, the Emperor almost imperceptibly furrowed his brows.
"Someone, take the King of Xining away. Lock him up in Zongrenfu."
This was a place specifically for imprisoning members of the royal family.
As the Emperor's voice echoed, the hall finally fell quiet.
Soon, two guards came in and carried the Fifth Prince away, one on each side.
