Yang Ling's speculation is not entirely without reason, but Prince Chu truly doesn't see that the emperor values Zhao Yao.
"Your Highness, I suspect Prince Han isn't aware of the emperor's intentions." If Prince Han knew the emperor valued him, he wouldn't be indifferent. From the reports returning from the Swamp Prefecture, Prince Han seems busy with crafting or business, not engaging in other activities. He previously sent someone to investigate Prince Han's second uncle and found he's only focused on business, not secretly contacting the ministers.
Prince Han is close to the youngest sons of the four Great Generals; he originally thought Prince Han would secretly curry favor with them, but he did not. Prince Han has always maintained distance from the four Great Generals.
