"Father!"
Wuu Xuan began to speak:
"Your Majesty's actions... could they be a warning to others by punishing one?"
"Everyone knows that Prince Fenyang was close to the Crown Prince, and the evidence of his rebellion is hardly convincing. But it's not enough that they've already taken down Prince Fenyang; now even those associated with him are being implicated."
"A warning?" The Wuu Patriarch shook his head with a cold laugh.
"The Emperor has disliked the Crown Prince for a long time. If the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Clan Court hadn't intervened, he would have deposed him long ago."
"The Third Prince is the one who is truly favored. Last month, he even moved into Chengde Hall. This is unprecedented since the founding of the Daqi dynasty."
The Daqi Royal Family has a rule: all princes and imperial grandsons, except for the Crown Prince, must move out of the Imperial Palace upon coming of age.
The Crown Prince resides in the Eastern Palace.
