Zhou Shuren sighed, "From what's happened with the Lin Residence, I'm stumped."
Zhulan was just curious, but there was a bit of schadenfreude in her tone as she said, "I bet the fifth prince is anxious to get back to the capital now!"
Zhou Shuren lowered his voice, "It's strange, the Emperor treats all his sons well, yet he was particularly harsh on the fifth prince. First, he put the fifth prince on the hot seat, and now he's even brought back an imposter to the capital. It's so odd. You know, for the fifth prince to try to return to the capital now would be too difficult, the other princes would not allow it."
Who knows, there might already be a net thrown around near the capital.
Zhulan, "I've been wondering, you see, the Emperor treats the Crown Prince the best, which reflects his feelings for the Empress. So the difference in treatment between sons of the same mother is too great."
