Qin Lan pondered for a moment. He knew well that this was a test from his Imperial Father. Ying Zheng had always been lenient regarding the infighting among his sons, provided it did not endanger their lives. However, for Prince Fusu to commit such a grave error—if Qin Lan were to seize this opportunity to take his life, it would certainly disappoint his father.
Having sorted out his thoughts, Qin Lan replied slowly: "Your Majesty, though his crime is grave, it does not necessarily warrant death."
"In my view, punishing him by having him sweep the inner palace will serve as a warning to others." This method would warn all the other princes while allowing the court officials to witness the majesty of Your Majesty.
