"The Crown Prince should go to his mother and then ask about it. She will not say such a big thing to us and ask the Crown Prince to trust her and Prince Lóng Wei," Jin Yu opined. Xiaoming agreed with her words.
"I will see you later," Xiaoming said and left for his mother's manor.
Xiaoming told Sun Fuguo not to follow him. When he reached his mother's manor, the court lady informed Zhu Liling about it. She turned happy and stood up from the broad mahogany chair.
Xiaoming entered soon and bowed to see his mother. "I would like to request my mother to withdraw all the servants who are present around her chamber," Xiaoming said. Zhu Liling was a little confused to hear that, but she did not question him. She gestured to the court lady, who bowed and left the chamber first.
"Please take the seat, Crown Prince," Zhu Liling told him.
"After mother," Xiaoming answered.
