Should Shao Yunduan resort to begging the Crown Prince now?
The urgency of the situation weighed on Shao Yunduan's mind. Delaying any further could complicate matters, making it harder for both him and the Crown Prince. Despite considering the advice nonsensical, Shao Yunduan dismissed it.
The two provocateurs, feeling a sense of accomplishment, believed they had touched a nerve in Shao Yunduan. Frustrated by his lack of response, they resorted to complimenting each other and congratulating themselves on their supposed cleverness.
However, they remained concerned that Shao Yunduan might not take the bait. What if he resisted their attempts to provoke him and sought help from the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince held him in high regard, and such a request might receive favorable attention.
