The Emperor, upon hearing that Situtu Xueer was extorting five hundred thousand taels of silver from him, was so angry that his whole body trembled. He believed that all of this was definitely orchestrated by the War Prince.
If it had been in someone else's hands, he could have summoned the person back in the Emperor's name. However, he always had a deep-seated apprehension of the War Prince, so he naturally dared not openly seize anything. Thus, with a heavy heart, he parted with the five hundred thousand taels of silver and let a few Imperial Forbidden Guards take it to the War Prince's Mansion.
By the time the Imperial Forbidden Guards arrived at the War Prince's Mansion with the five hundred thousand taels of silver, the sky had already grown overcast.
