So the approach was the same: simply replace the person next to them.
Hongxi's expression changed instantly after he returned to his room.
"It's a real pity that my grandfather never personally taught me."
He wasn't very old, but living deep within the palace, he knew quite a bit and was mature enough not to be easily fooled. It was simply a matter of one willing to give and the other willing to receive.
