After a prolonged silence, Shao Yunduan seized the opportunity to reveal the purpose of his visit.
The Crown Prince, taken aback, fixed his gaze on Shao Yunduan and gradually regained his composure.
"No! I cannot agree! Officer Shao, why entertain such thoughts? It is in your best interest to remain in the capital. Others pursue such endeavors to amass experience, but you are exempt from this necessity!"
The Crown Prince displayed a mix of anxiety and anger.
Undeterred, Shao Yunduan maintained his resolve. Bowing respectfully, he asserted, "Crown Prince, I fear that if I linger in the capital, the Fourth Prince may stir up trouble, and other princes might exploit the situation. What if it implicates Your Highness?"
"I have contemplated this, and I believe a temporary departure from the capital to lie low would be prudent. Wouldn't it be beneficial for everyone to alleviate tensions?"
