Huizong instructed a secret investigation, yet the matter was deliberately leaked by someone with motives.
The deposed Empress Lin Jiao'er was shocked and urgently called her son and daughter over.
Their daughter Zhao Yuji was only seven years old, and their son Zhao Kang was five, having just been established as the Crown Prince.
This incident clearly targeted her and the Crown Prince.
She knew, regardless of their defense, the outcome would always be they had illicit dealings with their relatives and intended to rebel.
Crying, she instructed Zhao Yuji, "Yuji, you are now old enough to help your mother look after your brother. The palace is no longer suitable for you to stay in; take your brother and leave tonight!"
Zhao Yuji raised her brows, "Why is this?"
