Consort Xian closed her eyes in disgust, her voice filled with anger, "With your careless attitude, how can you fight against Prince Anzheng! Have you forgotten the Liang family? The Liang family that you seized four years ago!"
She was pregnant at the time.
The second prince's heart trembled, but he firmly believed, "No, it can't be. She's a helpless woman; she's probably already dead."
"Foolish!" Consort Xian was furious at his lack of resolve. "I want to see her alive or dead. If Prince Anzheng finds her, the secret he's kept hidden for four years will be exposed.

The second prince understood, "Mother's thoughts are indeed more comprehensive."
Consort Xian gave him a cold look. “Remember, unless absolutely necessary, do not break ties with Prince Anzheng. He holds half of the military power in Dongling. After years of war, the people respect him, and even His Majesty has to give him some face. We must not provoke this troublemaker.”
"Fortunately, he has no interest in vying for power, but only His Majesty fails to see this and is always on guard against him."
