"Rise, I pardon you of all charges," Su Chengyu finally spoke again, his voice indifferent, betraying neither joy nor anger.
"Thank you, Crown Prince," Wang Youbao obeyed and stood up, but his body was still trembling.
Su Chengyu continued, "There's no need for this. Ignorance is not a crime. Had you been guilty, I would have punished you long ago, rather than waiting until today."
"Thank you, Crown Prince." Wang Youbao dared not say anything else, fearing that saying more might lead to a mistake. It was better to speak less.
Su Chengyu nodded and added, "I presume the Prime Minister has already told you why I have summoned you to the Imperial Capital."
Though his legs were still shaking, Wang Youbao replied with utmost respect, "Your Highness, my father-in-law has indeed informed me."
Su Chengyu nodded again, "You shall first learn from the minister at the Ministry of Revenue. Once you have made sufficient progress, I will arrange proper employment for you."
