Xie Jingyan agreed with this point, saying, "It's no injustice that the Left Prime Minister was arrested."
However, Xie Jingyan hadn't expected that the Left Chancellor would fall into the Empress Dowager's trap so easily.
The fact that the Empress Dowager was able to so easily eliminate the Left Chancellor shows that she had been rather slow in supporting the First Prince, as if she wanted to let the First Prince and the Prince of Jin fight it out themselves.
As soon as he got involved in the struggle for the throne, the Empress Dowager was eager to kick Prince Jin out of the game.
