Hearing that the Crown Prince had fallen ill, all the senior court officials came to the Eastern Palace and gathered outside in a bustling assembly.
After the Emperor finished speaking, he ordered his carriage to return to the Imperial Palace.
Although no one saw the Crown Prince, observing the Emperor's expression, they believed the Crown Prince's condition must be serious. The faces of those from the Eastern Palace were all somber and grave, and Little Zhongzi's eyes were red as if he had cried.
Everyone thought differently about the Crown Prince, who had been very robust since childhood, and who rarely fell ill due to his martial arts training. Considering the looks on the faces of the Emperor and those from the Eastern Palace, they thought the illness must be severe.
