"Just this one thing?"

The prince stood up and walked in front of him, looking down at him condescendingly.

Qin Taifu said calmly: "The burial was also done by this old minister."

"no yet?"

The prince had a sinister look in his eyes and a cold tone.

"No, only these two things were done by the old minister."

These two things could be big or small, but regarding the Yichunyuan incident, Master Qin could only deny it.

The prince is narrow-minded. If he knew that he was the one who did this, he would definitely kill Ranran to vent his hatred!

The prince looked at Zhu San, who was standing aside with his jaw clenched, and said, "Zhu San, have you found out who was responsible for the incident at Yichunyuan?"

Zhu San shook his head truthfully, "We haven't found any clues yet."

The prince squatted down and looked at Master Qin at eye level. His eyes were bloodshot. "Master, I think I have treated you well over the years. Why did you betray me?!"

"Your Highness, the girl from the Bai family is about the same age as Ranran. I just don't want that girl to die at such a young age."

Qin Taifu wanted to say that the prince was immoral, killed innocent people indiscriminately, regarded the people of the world as ants, had a crooked mind, and was not fit to be a king.

But he dared not.

Considering their past friendship, he would let her die with dignity. If she angered him, it would be disadvantageous to Ranran.

I've endured it for a lifetime, so this time won't make a difference.

The prince stared at him hatefully, "You feel pity in your heart, but do you know how many people will die with me if I lose?"

"Your Highness, the Emperor has always had your heart set on you. Instead of wasting your time dealing with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, you might as well cultivate yourself and establish virtues and conduct."

Qin Taifu's eyes were filled with tears, and he spoke earnestly, "Whether you are a monarch or a minister, you should put the people first, be kind, and implement benevolent policies, rather than abuse your power and pursue your own selfish interests. Only in this way can the world be peaceful and prosperous, and the country will last long!"

Watching the tiny baby grow up into a handsome man, he felt extremely regretful and ashamed.

It was his incompetence that caused him to fail in training a qualified crown prince!

The prince looked at him with an extremely guilty expression and chuckled at himself, "I also want to be a crown prince praised by everyone, but I was born in the royal family and I can't help myself."

Qin Taifu's eyes were filled with tears, but he couldn't help but persuade: "Your Highness, the way of a king is to clarify virtue, and the king's rule is based on the people. Only by following the great way of heaven and earth and practicing benevolence and righteousness can you win the hearts of the people!"

The prince sneered, "Taifu, what you said is very high-sounding. As for the way to be a king, I have to reach that position first before I am qualified to talk about the way to be a king!"

Master Qin's lips trembled and he was speechless for a long time.

After all, he is also a poor man.

"Your Highness, when you rule the country in the future, please do not forget what I said today."

"I will never forget your sincere teachings, Grand Master."

The prince stood up and said, "However, since you are willing to plead guilty to these two things, I will not pursue the others. As for how to do it, you should know it."

When Qin Taifu heard him say that he would not pursue anything else, his heart relaxed. This result was the best he could have expected, and he had nothing else to ask for.

Zhu San, who had been silent, said, "Your Highness, Master Qin is old, can you give him a lighter sentence?"

The prince glanced at him and said, "Zhu San, you should know what to do if someone betrays me?!"

Be punished!

Zhu San couldn't utter these two words, and he lowered his head dejectedly.

"It is my fault. I plead guilty." Qin Taifu slowly stood up with a calm expression. "I thank Your Highness for your grace."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

A guard came in hurriedly and reported: "Your Highness, Princess Liyang and Miss Qin Ran are here to see you."

The prince frowned slightly, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes, "Let them in."

Princess Liyang led Qin Ran in, and Qin Ran knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, I beg you to spare my grandfather's life!"

The prince snorted coldly, "Those who betray their master deserve to be put to death!"

Ran Ran raised her head, tears blurring her vision. She looked at the prince pleadingly, "Your Highness, my grandfather was honest and upright all his life, and everything he did was out of kindness. For the sake of our past friendship, please forgive my grandfather this time!"

Princess Liyang also echoed, "Prince, Master Qin is old, why don't you spare his life for the sake of our past friendship?"

"Auntie, you don't know the truth. I've already thought of our old friendship..."

The prince looked at Princess Liyang with some headache.

He may not care about others, but Princess Liyang has treated him very well since he was a child, and she is his father's favorite sister. No matter what, he has to give her some face.

Princess Liyang said softly, "Prince, Qin Ran lost her parents when she was young, and she was raised entirely by the Grand Tutor. If the Grand Tutor is gone, how will the child survive?"

The prince looked at Qin Ran's pitiful appearance and wavered a little. But when he thought of the betrayal of the master that had ruined all his previous efforts, his heart suddenly hardened again.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "Qin Ran, I can spare your grandfather's life, but he can no longer be the Grand Tutor!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ran kowtowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Highness. As long as my grandfather is alive, anything is fine."

The prince glanced at Master Qin with dark eyes, then waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

After leaving the East Palace, Qin Taifu bowed to Princess Liyang with his hands clasped, "Thank you for what you did today, Princess."

"Taifu, please don't be polite." Princess Liyang helped him up, "It's just a small favor, don't mention it."

"grandfather."

Qin Ran held his arm, her throat choking with sobs.

When she received the news today, she knew something had happened and rushed to find Princess Liyang.

She knew that her grandfather had found Liang Wenchang as her husband because Liang Wenchang had done a favor to Princess Liyang.

With Princess Liyang around, the prince will definitely not touch her easily.

"Your Highness, please take good care of Ranran in the future. I will be grateful to you forever!"

"Ran Ran will be Mr. Liang's wife in the future. Don't worry, I will never let anyone bully her." Princess Liyang smiled and said, "I am tired today. Let's go back quickly."

Princess Liyang led her maids and servants towards the imperial study, while Imperial Tutor Qin led Qin Ran to stagger out of the palace.

When Liang Wenchang saw them coming out, the worry on his face faded away, and he smiled and walked over to them quickly, "Master, Ranran!"

Tutor Qin nodded to him gently, and Liang Wenchang supported his arm and helped him get into the carriage.

The carriage was moving slowly. Master Qin looked at Liang Wenchang, who looked like a gentle jade, and said gently, "Tomorrow is a good day, you should get married."

Liang Wenchang was stunned for a moment, "Master, isn't tomorrow too hasty?"

"No rush, I have already asked people to prepare it."

"grandfather!"

Qin Ran thought of something and her face turned pale. Her lips trembled and tears fell down in strings.

"Grandfather is going to resign from the position of Grand Tutor in a few days. While Grandfather still holds the official position and those people can still give Grandfather some face, Grandfather will hold a grand wedding for you two."

The grand wedding that Qin Taifu talked about actually only had a few close friends coming.

Bai Youyou sent someone to deliver a gift, and the next day she received a piece of news that shocked her!
