He did not even look at the pile of gifts at the side. After some thought, he understood that Emperor Xia was warning the First Prince and his brothers not to break the rules. Regardless of whether they were the ones who did it last night, it was best not to let him find out. Otherwise, whoever found out was the one who suffered! He wanted to give himself an explanation before showing it to the officials.
However, within the rules, just like how the Crown Prince did not use any tricks to attack their people, if they wanted to bring him down, they had to follow the rules.
For example, when he dealt with Qian Wenli some time ago, it was all within the rules and not an outside move.
Otherwise, the Xia Emperor would be the first one to disagree, and the civil and military officials would not agree either!
