Imperial Palace, Qingping Palace.
The Emperor met with the Fourth Prince in the sleeping quarters.
"Imperial Son, what exactly is the matter with the rumors and gossip outside?" The Emperor, seated on the Dragon Throne with a grim expression, asked the Fourth Prince.
Having dealt with official duties until late the previous night, the Fourth Prince had just risen from bed and before even stepping out, Eunuch Zhang summoned him to the Imperial Palace, indicating that he was completely unaware of the events outside.
"Imperial Father, what are you talking about?"
"Stop feigning innocence before your father."
The Fourth Prince was always intelligent, and the Emperor thought he was pretending to be confused, trying to avoid dealing with the matter!
"No, I really don't know what you are talking about." The Fourth Prince looked at the Emperor with a face full of confusion.
The Emperor turned his head and glanced at Eunuch Zhang.
