The issues in Dongan Province are just isolated incidents. The greater enmity remains the exposure of the forbidden affair between Gong Qiu and Noble Princess Consort by the Third Prince.
It was he who reported it to the late Emperor, leading to Gong Qiu's beheading, the Noble Princess Consort's death punishment, and revealing the Second Prince's lack of royal lineage. Several matters were implicated.
The Second Prince's current fate is entirely orchestrated by the Third Prince.
These two are mortal enemies, yet now the Third Prince is harboring the Second Prince??
Shu Yu looked at the letter, unable to help but sigh: In these times, interests truly reign supreme; for a common purpose, even deep-seated hatred can be temporarily set aside.
It's understandable that when the Third Prince was close to the throne, suddenly the current Emperor swiftly got ahead, marking him as a major threat, unable to act in any capacity; naturally, he's unwilling to accept this.
