On July 25th, there was a small discussion in The Court.
Early in the morning, Li Xuan ran out from the Xuanwu Gate north of the Forbidden City, then took a long detour, pretending to have just hurried from his residence, entering the palace with the rest of the ministers through the south gate.
Yu Jie, who had already returned from the grasslands, Quan Dingtian, and Wang Wen, among others, watched the radiant Li Xuan in speechless amazement.
They all thought, do you really think you're fooling anyone? Who here doesn't know that once you entered the palace yesterday, you didn't come out for the entire night!
It's only because the Jianguo Princess, who now holds the reigns of power within the palace and state, is a spinster and has made many sacrifices for the country; otherwise, they would have certainly accused Li Xuan of the crime of 'defiling the palace'.
Before the death of Jingtai Emperor, it was well-known that the Princess had feelings for Li Xuan.
