Jinrong complained bitterly: "Imperial Father, I'm innocent. How can this be true? Second Brother insists on obtaining legitimate tokens for ascending the throne. Otherwise, faced with the world's doubts, he won't have the ability to secure the throne firmly. I had previously probed Zhang Cunhai's intentions; as long as he doesn't disclose the location of your critical item, both you and he will remain safe."
... However, the punishment Zhang Cunhai received was much more severe than imagined. Alas, it's fortunate that his body is robust, otherwise, Jinrong's words would truly be difficult to utter.
The emperor's eye twitched, never mind, no need to argue with this fool. Lih Mian was aware of the collusion between the Crown Prince and Prince Fu and had reported it to him, for he wanted to see where his sons' boundaries lay. However, he underestimated the power of the Crown Prince and Prince Fu and the ministers' frenzied pursuit of power.
