The Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince were full brothers of the Crown Prince.
The two exchanged a glance, moved behind Yin Chu, and Yin Su lowered his voice and whispered, "Fourth Brother, today is not a grand court assembly, so why are the eldest brother, sixth brother, eighth brother, and ninth brother, who are usually rarely seen, all here?"
Yinzhi's question was something the other princes also wanted to know.
So everyone pricked up their ears, ready to hear Yin Chu's answer.
