——The princess suddenly died within the depths of the palace.
Regardless of the dynasty, such an event is destined to stir a storm, especially since the child had always been healthy.
This sudden death would become the fuse igniting the court's upheaval.
The entire Imperial Palace was almost immediately sealed off by Li Zhi's orders.
He initially intended to summon all the ministers at once.
But amid his thoughts, Li Zhi calmed down, arranged everything, and immediately returned to Taiji Hall, then ordered:
"Summon the Grand Tutor at once!"

Gu Jing received the news from the harem first.
Although he could not uncover all the details, he had a general understanding—Empress Wang had visited the princess before His Majesty went to Li Zheng Hall.
This detail gave Gu Jing a vague instant awareness.
It's just that the outcome... was quite unimaginable for ordinary people.
But Gu Jing was different.
