Prince Ling's Mansion had an unexpected visitor.
The Fifth Princess.
Speaking of which, it had been some days since Murong Jiu had seen the Fifth Princess after her father and brothers went off to war.
Even the Empress had become much more low-key in the imperial harem, wary of the Emperor, let alone her, the Fifth Princess.
In the past, the Fifth Princess was also greatly favored. After all, there were only two princesses in the entire palace, and the other was merely seven years old, while she could act coquettishly and vie for favor. How could her imperial father not dote on her?
However, once the incident with Consort Jing and The Third Prince came to light, she realized that everything in the past was nothing but a fleeting illusion in a cup, and her father's affection was all a sham.
The Emperor pretended to dote on the Eldest Imperial Brother to set him against the Second Imperial Eldest Brother, all the while watching the Third Prince wait to benefit from their rivalry.
