Empress Dowager, using illness as an excuse, often summoned Imperial Consorts, Princes, and Princesses to Cining Palace to talk, among whom the most summoned were those Princes who served at the imperial court.
Inside Qianqing Palace, it was heard that the Crown Prince and others had gone to Cining Palace again. The Emperor merely responded with a faint "Hmm," while Xiao Yeyang, who had come to report, silently lowered his head.
After the death of the Princely Heir and Jiang Jinghui, did the Empress Dowager and Duke Cheng'en know that the Jiang Family was no longer able to train another obedient and understanding young Prince, and had turned their gaze onto the adult Princes instead?
The Jiang Family still had plenty of resources in their hands, but it was uncertain whether the Crown Prince and others could withstand the test.
After finishing his report, Xiao Yeyang left the palace. Just as he was approaching the palace gate, he unexpectedly met the Fourth Prince.
