章 1318: Plead Guilty (2)

The Eldest Prince and Ye Qingtang secretly exchanged glances and waited to see how Ling Yan would redeem himself.

Ye Qingtang was aware that of the two charges, the one of indulging one's subordinates had been planned more rigorously. The disaster relief matter was just the icing on the cake.

She just did not know…

How Ling Yan would deal with it.

Ye Qingtang's gaze involuntarily fell on Ling Yan.

Ling Yan maintained his composure although everyone was looking at him. He only raised his eyes slightly to look at the Eternal Emperor.

Just as everyone was staring at Ling Yan to see how he would refute the charges, he suddenly spoke.

"Lord Hu has asked to impeach me on the grounds of two charges. I plead guilty to them both."

Ling Yan's words shocked everyone present.

"What's going on? Ling Yan… is pleading guilty just like that?" The Eldest Princess whispered to the Eldest Prince behind her, her eyes wide in disbelief.
