The Crown Prince frowned ”I wouldn’t dare”
The empress suddenly raised her voice, ”Do you not know Fan Xian isthe Second Prince on his boat?”
The prince suddenly raised his head and stared directly into the empress’s eyes He said calmly, ”Mother, will you allowpoet, it isn't unusual for Fan Xian to meet with Second Prince”
The ery and frustrated, but she didn’t kno to respond
The Crown Prince looked at her and continued: ”I have often wondered; can you not be so sensitive? You will only chase my potential allies away to join my brothers”
The empress clenched her teeth ”As thea e?”
The prince said in faint ridicule, ”Mother, you shouldn’t have let Minister Han do that the other day There is no way you would really have Fan Xian beaten to death Why make enemies out of the Prime Minister and the entire Fan clan? I believe Minister Han will lose his standing in a few days The nuly get involved with the Eastern Palace are already few in number, and you just had to stomp on your own foot I really don’t knohat you were thinking”
The empress frowned ”Han Zhiwei is a properunder Imperial order What can the Prime Minister and Fan Jian do?

Despite the fact that the Eldest Princess had been close to the Eastern Palace in recent years, after Fan Xian’s propaganda fell upon the capital like snow, even the Crown Prince started to become wary of her Of course, there were other reasons as well
The empress painfully said, ”We have no other help to rely on; only the Eldest Princess”
”We shall rely on Lord Father,” the princess replied calmly He, who had always appeared soe a prince
The empress slowly closed her eyes, ”In any case, I do not like Fan Xian He must die, soer ”Die? Did you forget he is Chen’er’s husband? Please do not listen to everything the Eldest Princess says That woman is insane; a psychopath! Do you know that? Do you want to be a psychopath and get chased out of the palace too?”
This enraged the e at the prince’s nose, she said in a shaking voice, ”What do you know? What do you know? What do you know? You… what d
o you know?” Perhaps what the prince said really hit the empress where it hurt She repeated the sairls had already left this heated exchange Only the mother and son re period of silence, the e weak, she swayed The Crown Prince immediately stood up and held her steady Without ed her pardon
The empress was heartbroken as she watched her son Wrinkles already appeared around her graceful eyes ”Throughout history, the Crown Prince has always had the most difficult position You have to watch out for those in front of you and behind you There is no one else on o—I doubt you haveto you, if you don’t struggle for them, others will take them from you”
The Crown Prince softened his tone ”I understand Mother, please go rest for now”
The empress shook her head ”You don’t understand You don’t… I've had this feeling recently that soo, when that woman entered the capital”
”Which woman?” The Crown Prince was curious
