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.

"Mister Crown Prince said..." The eunuch behaved quite awkwardly.

"Just tell it to me straight," King Jing Zhen said.
