Because the Crown Prince and Prince Li were at odds, it even became apparent on the surface, and the court was often bustling with excitement.
In the past, such situations would not have occurred. The Emperor would send the Vassal Kings out of the Capital City. Even if Prince Li was in the Capital City, he rarely participated in politics, let alone attended court.
Now, things have changed. Prince Liang was demoted and did not leave the Capital City, and Prince Li also stayed. After the Crown Prince took over, Prince Li seemed invigorated.
The Emperor did not stop him because Prince Li lost a son of dragon-like grace and phoenix-like beauty. His affection for Prince Li grew stronger than before, and Prince Li's power gradually and quietly established itself.
Given the situation, it's clear that the Emperor intentionally supports Prince Li in opposing the Crown Prince.
However, the underlying motive is still unclear.
