The Emperor now favors the Ninth Prince the most. Since him, no other princes have been born in the harem. Although he is still young, the Emperor is already grooming him as the next monarch.
The civil and military officials of the entire court now know that as long as no unexpected events occur, the Ninth Prince is set in stone to be the next ruler.
However, since the Ninth Prince is currently young, he does not pose a threat to the Emperor. When he grows up, the Emperor's lifespan may already be over. Therefore, everyone is pleased, as they don't have to waver between the Emperor and the prospective Crown Prince, and to transition peacefully to the next emperor is indeed a great fortune for the ministers.
As for Qi Le, it was long after when Chen Xing sent Wang Yongzhu a document revealing Qi Le's true identity, confirming he was indeed one of the betrayers from before.
