Lin Suqing had not been back at the mansion long before someone came to report, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, just after noon today, His Majesty moved to Prince Ying's mansion to visit him."
It was likely that the Crown Prince himself had specifically instructed to keep an eye on the movements of the Emperor and others.
"How is Prince Ying's condition?"
The spy said, "Prince Ying is not in the mansion, and no one knows his exact whereabouts. After several inquiries, I heard that Prince Ying did not inform anyone of his trip, not even the Princess Consort knew."
"I understand," Lin Suqing dismissed the spy, thinking that Prince Ying really never rested for a moment.
Wasn't he just poisoned last night? Since he already started this ruse, he should have expected the Emperor to visit him after issuing the decree, right? Yet he was conspicuously absent from the mansion at this time, and it was unclear what exactly Prince Ying was planning.
