Hearing Ying Zheng's words filled with anger, the Yan minister kneeling in the great hall turned pale and hurriedly said, "King of Qin, my state of Yan has always been grateful to Qin. This act of war was not our king's intent but was because our Crown Prince insisted on acting on his own accord. Our king has said that Yan is willing to compensate Qin. Besides compensation, even if the King of Qin demands the life of our Crown Prince, Yan will have no complaints whatsoever. We beg the King of Qin for forgiveness."
Saying this, the Yan Envoy kowtowed, filled with trepidation.
"Why did Qin send troops?" Ying Zheng's face remained cold and detached. "It was because your state of Yan pleaded for aid. If not for Qin, would Yan even exist? If not for Qin, you would have become captives of Zhao. How dare you stand in my court and speak? Your state of Yan has broken faith and betrayed us, yet you still expect my forgiveness?"
