Words:857Update:22/07/01 07:06:40
The Eldest Prince secretly exchanged a look with Ye Qingtang and waited to see how Ling Yan would turn things around.
Ye Qingtang naturally knew that between the two charges, the crime of conniving at one's subordinates was the most stringent. The disaster relief was merely icing on the cake.
However, she did not know …
How would Ling Yan respond?
Ye Qingtang's gaze involuntarily landed on Ling Yan.
Under everyone's gaze, Ling Yan's expression did not change at all. He only lifted his eyes slightly and looked at the Eternal Emperor.
Just as everyone was waiting to see how Ling Yan would refute, Ling Yan suddenly spoke.
"Lord Hu has impeached me for both charges, and I plead guilty to both."
Everyone present was shocked by Ling Yan's words.
"What's going on? Ling Yan … is pleading guilty just like that? "The Eldest Princess's eyes widened in disbelief as she whispered softly behind the Eldest Prince.
In the face of Lord Hu's two charges of impeachment, Ling Yan did not even try to defend himself and directly agreed to them?
Not to mention the Eldest Princess, no one present had expected this situation at all.
Ye Qingtang was also shocked by Ling Yan's words.
He was pleading guilty just like that?
At least put up a fight …
A look of surprise flashed across the Eternal Emperor's eyes as he looked at Ling Yan, who had directly admitted to his crimes.
"Ling Yan, are you really pleading guilty?" The Eternal Emperor asked uncertainly.
"Yes, I plead guilty." Ling Yan repeated himself as if he was afraid that others did not hear him clearly.
This time, the Eternal Emperor's face really turned green and white.
He had been prepared to reprimand Ling Yan. If Ling Yan retorted, he would naturally find someone to investigate everything in detail. After all, he would not so easily believe Lord Hu's impeachment.
However …
The person in question did not even have the slightest intention of resisting.
This really caused the follow-up plan that the Eternal Emperor had just hatched to completely fall into the water.
Even Lord Hu, who had stepped forward to impeach Ling Yan, was shocked by Ling Yan's reaction.
Could it be that the extremely intelligent Third Prince had been replaced by someone else today?
While everyone was still in shock, Ling Yan suddenly took out a few dossiers from his sleeve and handed them to the Eternal Emperor. Then, he lifted the hem of his robe and knelt on one knee.
"Reporting to Imperial Father, everything Lord Hu said is true. However, Lord Hu's investigation is a little superficial. These files clearly record the amount of money embezzled from the disaster relief that I participated in in recent years."
"…"
Ling Yan's words shocked everyone present.
How could there be such a way to trip oneself up?!
The Eternal Emperor frowned deeply as he flipped through the dossiers one by one. The dossiers clearly recorded the missing amounts of each sum of money. It was actually a lot more than what Lord Hu had requested.
The more he read, the more shocked the Eternal Emperor became.
The Eldest Prince also returned to his senses. Although he did not understand what was wrong with Ling Yan today, he would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity!
Take his life while he's down!
The First Prince took a step forward.
"Imperial Father, the Crown Prince is still young and may have made a mistake. Please have mercy on him!"
