Elder Ding Nuo said.
However, although it was Jian Xun who made the move, it was ultimately due to lax supervision by the people in the stockaded village. Otherwise, such an incident wouldn't have occurred.
"Sigh!"
Qian Jiyun let out a heavy sigh.
"Let the dead be dead. Order our people in the 18 villages to spread the word that Jian Xun, in his struggle with Prince De for the military power over the 18 villages, accidentally killed Prince De."
"That... Will others believe it?"
Elder Ding Nuo felt that few people would believe such a statement.
"It doesn't matter whether others believe it or not," Qian Jiyun said.
The old emperor had been imprisoned anyway. What difference would the death of a Prince De, who was far away at the southern border, make?
Could anyone really have the audacity to inquire into how Prince De died? He was certain that even if everyone had doubts in their hearts, not a single person would dare to voice them.
