If his own family was the only one so close to the Crown Prince, he couldn't help but feel anxious. After all, the Hesheli family had been declining in recent years—what goes up must come down, that's an inherent law. They had already foreseen this situation when the head of the family was appointed as a regent and minister. But who wouldn't hope that their family could prosper peacefully for many years? They were even hoping to rise to a higher level with the help of the Crown Prince!
So now the burden is all on Suo'etu's shoulders. If there were no one else to share the burden with him, he would definitely be even more anxious.
But now that he suddenly realizes he has Prince An as a powerful ally, he can be considered to have an invisible ally—after all, they are all close to the Crown Prince now, so they can be considered allies, right?
We might be able to discuss it later, so there's not much of a rush...
Others, unaware of what Suo'etu was thinking, couldn't help but mutter to themselves, "Suo'etu is indeed getting old. He's lost all his former drive. Perhaps he's been scared out of his wits by the Emperor and doesn't dare to do anything underhanded now?"
It's worth noting that he was quite ambitious in his younger days, so his current state has disappointed many people...
Let them think what they want; as long as I live my life peacefully, that's all that matters.
The main issue is that, given the current situation, the Crown Prince has incurred the wrath of many, and even the interests of the Hesheli family are inevitably at risk. However, he is someone who considers the bigger picture and naturally knows to side with his own family, so he hasn't said anything. But some people have expressed their dissatisfaction along the way.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the Emperor had safely sent the Crown Prince away.
When the news came out, he couldn't sleep for several nights.
Why is the Crown Prince so reckless?
This problem has existed in the court for a long time, but no one has brought it up. Could it be that those people have discovered it?
They just don't want to be the ones to take the lead.
Moreover, these officials, especially those in high positions, have a significant share of the benefits, so naturally they turn a blind eye.
However, the Crown Prince made it clear to him. He was worried but also proud. As expected of someone with the blood of the Hesheli family, he was so bold!
He's getting old, and all those youthful passions have been suppressed in his heart. You know, when you're young, who doesn't want to serve the Qing Dynasty and make it better? But as time goes by, and with his health failing, he's forgotten those passions.
"Master, our Heyue is still waiting for the Crown Prince..." Before Suo'etu could say anything, his wife, Ma Qishi, was indeed getting restless. Heyue was her most beloved granddaughter, who had practically grown up in her arms. This girl was beautiful, gentle, and sensible, and was about the same age as the Crown Prince. When they were raising her, they had already planned to marry her off to the Crown Prince!
Ma Qi's family is actually in decline now, so it's probably not feasible for this girl to marry into the Crown Prince's family. But even as a concubine, given the prestige of the Hesheli family, it would be glorious enough!
When she first started raising the girl, it wasn't just out of affection; she naturally had her own plans. But what's going on now?
Before the matter could even be mentioned, the Crown Prince already had a candidate for Crown Princess.
