Chapter 098: Doubts

The Crown Prince returned to the palace and steadfastly refused to discuss state affairs.

He never inquired about what Prince Zhi was doing.

Even when ministers such as Suo Etu sought an audience, the Crown Prince would not consent to see them.

However, as time passed, even Kangxi of Mongolia began to feel somewhat remorseful towards the Crown Prince, and thus issued a new imperial edict, instructing the Crown Prince to manage state affairs with Prince Zhi assisting from the side, and both Third Master and Fourth Master lending their help as well.

The Crown Prince received the edict calmly, showing no other emotion.

Prince Zhi smiled, "It should be like this."

"Eldest brother, do you truly believe it should be like this? Eldest brother..." the Crown Prince called out, but upon seeing the servants around, he said no more.

Shaking his head, he smiled, "I'm tired today, I will return first. Eldest brother, you go ahead with your duties."
