Aunt Weng's matter was something Su Xinyi could not possibly deal with by bypassing her third uncle, nor could she let outsiders perceive her actions.
Having returned to the Eastern Palace, Su Xinyi calmed her mind and carefully pondered the situation before beginning to write a letter to the Crown Prince. The affairs of the capital were closely related to the granary case and even to Shui State, especially now that Prince Yi and Assistant Minister Ji had met in secret, which seemed to evidence that their initial suspicions could very well be correct.
This letter was of great importance; Su Xinyi wondered how much Your Majesty knew. The Crown Prince's recent journey southward had quickly received Your Majesty's consent, what did this imply?
Did Your Majesty know something as well?
Or perhaps, did Your Majesty have other intentions for allowing the Crown Prince to leave the capital?
