Prince Li wore a mournful expression, why hadn't something happened to his son?
His most excellent son Jinglun, true to his name, though young, was full of wisdom. He harbored great expectations, especially since the Emperor liked him very much and even considered placing him by his side for upbringing.
However, later the Emperor decided against it to prevent the Crown Prince at the time from growing suspicious.
Thinking of his excellent son, he deeply hated Old Third with utter bitterness.
By then, Old Third had already been made Crown Prince, and the Emperor did not punish Old Fifth for Jinglun's death. Instead, he suppressed the matter.
His influence was now growing stronger, able to contend equally with Old Third, as compensation from the Emperor.
His son had died, yet nothing had happened to Old Third.
But when Old Fifth's son died, the Emperor stripped Old Third of the Crown Prince title.
Thinking this way left him feeling unsettled.
