"Your Excellency and Lord Chen, have committed the following crime of lèse-majesté," Liang Wenfu said cautiously, "We had our doubts about Your Highness's identity. We are guilty and beg for Your Highness's forgiveness."
Chen Shuhua added, "Please forgive us, Your Highness."
So that was the matter.
He had previously said that he had bumped his head and lost some of his memory. Setting that aside, although he tried to imitate the Crown Prince, his actions and habits were somewhat different from the true Crown Prince. And trusted officials such as Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua, who were quite close to the Crown Prince, would find such changes--attributable just to memory loss--hardly convincing.
Moreover, the Crown Prince's amnesia was a serious matter. It was understandable that it was not disclosed publicly for fear of causing unrest, but privately, he had not summoned any royal physicians either.
