At the Xie Residence in the East Fourth Hutong, the Lady was lamenting with Su Xingze.
"Things in the capital change suddenly. This morning, people were still crowding me, proposing marriage, and by tonight, an entire family has been thrown into prison."
Ever since the second prince was thrown into prison, those who were aligned with him knew that things were looking grim for them. They began to frantically search for alternatives. Many people turned their attention to Su Xingze. However, nobody could have anticipated that the palace would swiftly slice through the chaos – all in a single night, the emperor ordered the death of the second prince and the homes of everyone who belonged to the second prince's faction were raided.
