Now that it's been discovered by Prince Zhan, the person who is most protective of his people, being found out trying to frame Fu Ming, even a simple death would be considered light.
You have to know, back then Prince Zhan pulled the Retired Emperor down for the Emperor, let alone now, the Retired Emperor has been directly imprisoned.
"I... I..."
Lord Fu lifted his gaze, glanced at the secret guards watching them from a distance, and quickly averted his eyes as if terrified.
What could he do now, being watched? He believed that any movement from him wouldn't simply result in being kicked; it might even cost him his life with a single blow.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. As long as we insist that the things were done by Fu Ming's family, we won't be in trouble," he said in a low voice.
What was wrong with his actions? If these things were discovered on him, death would be the only outcome.
