The eldest prince was confined to his quarters. After a few days of agitation, he quickly calmed down and spent his days reading and practicing calligraphy, showing great composure.
For him, temporary gains and losses are nothing in the long journey of life; only on the last day will he know who the winner is.
The crown prince may be enjoying his current glory, but as long as he can be patient and lie low for a long time, the outcome is still uncertain.
In the more than 100 years since the founding of the Daze Kingdom, there have been many cases where the crown prince did not become emperor.
At that time, the lives of Qiao Lian'er and the Qiao family will be in his hands. He can crush the Qiao family with a flick of his finger.
As long as his mother remains his father's most beloved concubine, he will always be his father's most cherished son.
Over the years, Consort Han has remained a favorite of the emperor, and she has her own methods for winning his heart.
The eldest prince was very confident about this.
Therefore, when the news of Consort Han's madness came, the eldest prince remained calm, his gaze still fixed on the scroll in his hands.
"I know that some people are upset because they see that I am not angry or upset and that I am diligent and hardworking every day. They are spreading rumors to try to shake my mind, make me lose my composure, and make me completely lose my composure."
A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "What's so strange about such a trick? To say that Mother Consort is crazy is ridiculous. All the concubines in the harem, including the Empress, are crazy. Mother Consort could not possibly be crazy."
The eunuch who came in to report looked terrified and said anxiously, "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine has really gone mad. She keeps shouting that there are ghosts, and that Princess Feiluan is the ghost. From morning to night, she is either acting crazy or falling asleep from exhaustion."
The eldest prince paused, put down the scroll, and stared intently at the eunuch.
The eunuch's reaction gave him a strong sense of unease.
Say it again.
"The Imperial Concubine has gone mad, she's really gone mad."
"Who's crazy?"
"Consort Han, your mother."
"The entire harem knows, and it's all the talk of the high-ranking families."
The eldest prince's face changed instantly, the color drained away, and it turned bluish.
He knew very well that the main reason he received the most love from the emperor since childhood was because of Consort Han.
If Consort Han went mad and spoke recklessly, saying things she shouldn't have, how would the Emperor view her and her son?
So he panicked, he was scared. It concerned his future, and nothing was more important than that.
"Why is this happening? My mother was perfectly fine, how could she have gone mad?" The eldest prince exclaimed, his voice trembling slightly.
He still couldn't fully believe it, much less accept it.
"I don't know the reason, but the Imperial Concubine keeps mentioning Princess Feiluan and saying that Princess Feiluan is a ghost. This servant thinks that it may be related to Princess Feiluan. Perhaps the Imperial Concubine was frightened by Princess Feiluan."
The eldest prince said in a somber tone, "Qiao Lian'er is cunning and ruthless, but my mother lives deep in the palace and has no contact with that little bitch Qiao Lian'er. How could she have fallen for her scheme?"
"I don't know, but the Imperial Concubine is perfectly fine. She wouldn't suddenly go mad. There must be a reason."
The eldest prince got up and paced anxiously in the study. He was under house arrest, but sooner or later the term would expire and he would regain his freedom.
