Although the throne had nothing to do with them, they were still princes of the Ming Dynasty, holding an extremely prestigious position.

Therefore, during these periods, they enjoyed a series of privileges to varying degrees, and many people genuinely feared their status. This is not surprising; such things have happened in every dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen's special status is due to the current Emperor Ying Shi's favor, so there's no need to be surprised.

Although they are unlikely to commit evil deeds or even think about concealing rebellions, their extraordinary status means that a casual remark can actually change the fate of many people or cause some turmoil.

Ultimately, it's because they wield so much power that it's not surprising they might take certain actions. Moreover, these seemingly noble princes often lack ambition in life, so they might harbor other thoughts and ambitions.

As the head of the third generation of the Zhu family, Zhu Yunying naturally needed to do more. Governing the country well was his duty, and managing his own clan was also a responsibility that the head of a large family should bear.

Since Xu Miaoqing gave Zhu Yunying a heads-up, it naturally means that she must have heard some rumors.

It's just that she's not comfortable saying it outright for some reason. This is most likely a matter of personal ethics.

Although she was the Empress and his sister-in-law, the current Prince Qin and Prince Jin were not Zhu Yunying's younger brothers, and moreover, they had both started their own families. Therefore, Xu Miaoqing could not say much.

These matters could only be handled by Zhu Yunying, and these matters involved Zhu Yunying formally summoning his cousins.
