Prince Cheng was inwardly distressed and hurriedly said, "Since Father says it's important, then it's indeed important! Alright, I'll have Jingchen come see His Majesty!"
"Hurry and get out of here!"
Prince Cheng bowed and quickly slipped out.
Upon leaving the hall, surprisingly none of the other princes outside had left yet.
Prince Lu asked, "What was Old Fifth saying to Father alone in secret?"
Actually, they had all heard the sound of the teacup smashing to the ground and the Emperor's furious voice earlier, but being farther away, they didn't know what was said.
Prince Cheng calmly replied, "What else could he say? Talking about how marriage affairs should be based on mutual affection, and not recklessly matching couples, ruining lives!"
The princes exchanged glances; indeed, this was typical of what Prince Cheng would say. Moreover, such words would indeed anger Father, and it was natural for Father to throw the teacup and drive him out!
