Lord Huai's forces had taken control of the court, closely monitoring the Crown Prince's mansion from within and outside. This strict surveillance made it impossible for the Crown Prince to leave his confinement.
Despite being grounded in the mansion, they managed to gather some information about the ongoing events. However, they remained indifferent to the situation, merely wasting their days within the mansion.
