Looking at the retreating figures of the Crown Prince and Prince Rong, Li Yan's brows were tightly furrowed. What exactly was the situation now?
After some thought, Li Yan did not return home, but instead detoured to Prince Xiang's Mansion. Unexpectedly, Prince Xiang was not in residence, so Li Yan left a message through his attendants and then went back home.
Feeling uncertain, Li Yan went to see his father.
As Imperial Tutor Li grew older, he seldom saw outsiders these days. Seeing his second son arrive, he put down the prayer beads in his hand and asked, "Why have you come all of a sudden?"
Li Yan briefly recounted the day's events and then said, "Father, what do you think His Majesty's intentions are? Can the Crown Prince truly have such a deep brotherly bond with Prince Rong?"
