PS: Wishing everyone a Happy Lantern Festival ^0^
As the Prince of the once most powerful force in Great Zhou, the Royal Residence of King of Tai, built by Ji Yancheng, was very luxurious. However, at this time, the King of Tai's Residence was eerily silent and desolate, with not more than ten people inside, servants included.
In fact, Ji Haodian never explicitly stated his intention to depose Ji Yancheng.
Originally, Ji Haodian had only proposed that the other princes come to the capital to compete for the position of Crown Prince. But it was clear to everyone, Ji Yancheng and his allies had become objects of extreme distaste to Ji Haodian. To still support him as heir to the throne was pure folly, akin to idiocy. Thus, their situation back then was almost as good as being deposed.
Since the incident in the Kunlun Secret Territory, the five princes including Ji Yancheng were thoroughly ostracized and subjected to the desolation of the cold palace, appearing extremely miserable.
