Xiao Ze, these past days, although he had people watching over the Second Prince's residence, he dared not send anyone to barge into Xiao Zhen's residence and take action. First, he found that the Second Prince's residence was tightly secured, and second, the Emperor would send the eunuch Zhao every so often to visit Xiao Zhen and check on his injuries.
The Emperor had neglected Xiao Zhen for many years, but now that Xiao Zhen had grown up, having come back from the brink of death at Ghost Gate Pass, the Emperor seemed to suddenly find his son more appealing. Although he didn't visit the Second Prince's residence in person, he made his stance clear enough. Every time the eunuch Zhao went to visit Xiao Zhen, he would bring imperial gifts of fine medicine for recuperation or other fine wares.
