The Emperor nodded in approval, "What the Crown Prince said is very true. When you cut weeds, you must remove the roots. But what crimes have the Grand Princess Consort and the Governor of Yaoshou and his son committed?"
Ye Yiheng replied, "This Grand Princess Consort in the palace and the Governor of Yaoshou's father were childhood sweethearts. Under someone's instigation, they murdered Commandery Princess Li Mian from Prince Zhenbei Mansion, attempting to provoke a conflict between Prince Zhenbei Mansion and the Tian Family, which is a punishable intent!"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor was furious.
The Prince Zhenbei Mansion has always been loyal, but rumors began a few years ago, suggesting that Prince Zhenbei Mansion intended to rebel.
Hence, he repeatedly put pressure on Lai Ran.
When Lai Ran lost his daughter, he even sent Lai Yu to the capital city as a hostage.
Even so, he still did not trust Prince Zhenbei Mansion and wanted to seize their military power several times.
