Zhulan saw the future's glint of knives and bloodshed, wondering if the Crown Prince would perform better than the Emperor as she withdrew her gaze, "Mother is looking into the future."
Currently, the only reason the Crown Prince and the princes are so peaceful is due to the Emperor's extensive involvement. Without external enemies and the Emperor's need for his sons to unite, the relationships among the Crown Prince and princes wouldn't be as they are now.
Zhulan thought about how, without her and Zhou Shuren, the Emperor, even if he realized it, wouldn't be fully prepared. She vividly remembered that Shi Qing died due to a struggle for power, and this thought brought her great joy; their wings had truly hardened, changing the fates of many.
Xue Han didn't understand why her mother was joyous again and whispered, "Mother, I too want to build a greenhouse."
