Yujing City, White Pavilion Manor.
In the afternoon of February, the hustle and bustle of Jianghu and the temple were no longer present here.
Only a deathly silence remained.
The entire Yan Country knew that Second Prince Zhao Mengtai colluded with Houjin to assassinate the Crown Prince, intending to rebel. In an instant, the Second Prince's faction scattered like monkeys fleeing a fallen tree. Regardless of whether one actually had colluded with Zhao Mengtai, everyone was now eagerly trying to disassociate themselves from him, fearing they may be implicated by 'misunderstanding' and suffer annihilation.
Only Zhao Xuening tried several times to visit, but was blocked by the nearby Imperial Forbidden Army, ultimately having no choice but to give up helplessly.
At this point, the entire manor was extremely quiet; one could hardly find three or five servants inside and out.
"In the end, I can only talk to you about many thoughts in my heart."
