"Oh? Let's hear it."
The Second Prince looked at his advisor with great interest. Though the man had only joined his household for a little over ten days, he had already earned the Prince's great favor, and his words were always pleasing to the ear.
"Young Master Song was once clearing out bandits near the Royal Hunting Ground. It was during that time that he brought back Yue Niang, the only concubine in the Song Mansion to have ever borne a child."
"Of course I know about that. My mother-consort was the one who had a wealthy merchant arrange for that Yue Niang. We never admitted it, but the Song Family was adamant it was our doing, which is why they poisoned me and my mother-consort with that sterility medicine."
The mere mention of it made the Second Prince grind his teeth in hatred.
All he had wanted was to get the Song Family under control, to keep them from getting too full of themselves after helping him ascend. Why did they have to take it so far?
