"Mr. Dong, I don't think Mr. Su is necessarily the Crown Prince's man."
"Why?"
"If Mr. Su had pledged allegiance to the Crown Prince when Lien retired, it would be very unwise. When a person leaves, his influence fades; it's unlikely Mr. Su would act so impulsively. Moreover, Mr. Su is a leading figure in the faction Lien left behind. If he did that, this group would likely fall apart instantly. Mr. Su enjoys a good reputation in the court and is known for his calm demeanor. Why would he urgently make such a choice now? I think the Crown Prince, when recommending someone to investigate, wouldn't choose his own man, nor someone related to King Qi. The choice would definitely be someone unrelated to both, yet whom the emperor can trust," analyzed Zhuo Qingfeng. "Having been in the court for years, the Crown Prince wouldn't want to give the emperor a reason to doubt him."
