The Emperor was taken aback: "Little Ningzi, does your Crown Prince know about your actions?"
As the Regent, the Crown Prince already wields immense power. What's more, Li Hongyuan is incredibly smart and capable, handling the affairs of the country with ease. If it weren't for the sudden emergence of the Prince of Zhao, he would have already won the support of nearly everyone.
Currently, the Prince of Zhao has been sent on a long expedition, which will last at least a year or so.
Normally, this would be a golden opportunity for the Crown Prince. With the Prince of Zhao away, he could consolidate his position and strengthen his power.
By the time the Prince of Zhao returns, he would have lost the power to compete with the Crown Prince.
As the Princess Consort, Jiang Ning should be supporting the Crown Prince with all her might.
But instead, she ran to the Emperor and requested him to handle the state affairs, giving the Crown Prince some leisure time.
