In the end, it was County Governor Ji Xuechang who stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying, "My lord, regarding this matter, we must prepare for the worst as soon as possible."
"I know..." Xiao Jingchuan supported his forehead, sighing with a face full of worry.
It had been a day since he learned of this event, and only now had he somewhat recovered from the shock of his son's imprisonment.
As a Governor and a leading figure of his faction, with so many eyes on him, he couldn't remain lost in grief and lose his rationality indefinitely.
He ultimately needed to recover; the more urgent the crisis, the more he needed to make calm and correct decisions.
He was very aware that in the worst scenario, he might have to abandon his two sons if necessary.
If there was the slightest chance, he would try to rescue his sons.
Unfortunately, the political enemies who sent Xiao Hongyang to prison were backed by one of those six Princes.
