"The marriage was arranged by His Majesty, and the Crown Prince's attitude has already embarrassed the Tang family. At this critical juncture, if the Crown Prince were to favor another woman..."
Cui'er said, "Lin Qingwan is now the descendant of a disgraced official. Why not expose her identity and then add another charge of deceiving the emperor? That would guarantee her a death sentence."
"Why bother with a concubine?"
Su Yun narrowed her eyes, "This would be tantamount to telling everyone that the Crown Prince is protecting the remnants of the Jiang family. If the Crown Prince truly likes her, he will definitely investigate further."
"If I were to stab the Crown Prince in the heart, I would truly be cutting off my own escape route."

But the truth is that he wouldn't even see Yun'er once.
People outside are already waiting to see the prince make a fool of himself, especially if rumors spread that he's infatuated with another woman...
Yun'er's dignity as the Crown Princess was ruined before she even entered the palace.
Tang's mother said in a deep voice, "I won't let you suffer. We need to find out the truth about this matter ourselves before we take any action."
