The Empress trusted him and sent him out to find the Crown Prince many times. In the Crown Prince's eyes, he represented the Empress.
The search turned into a pursuit, and the Crown Prince naturally felt disheartened. The head of the guards then told the Empress that the Crown Prince hated and was heartbroken that the Empress had attacked him, so he was unwilling to return to the palace.
The Empress felt guilty for hurting her own son, so it was only natural for the Crown Prince to hate her; she wouldn't doubt that.
Moreover, the head of the guards was someone who had repeatedly risked his life for the Empress when she suffered at the hands of the late Emperor; he had been utterly loyal to her in the past, and it was difficult for the Empress to doubt his loyalty.
But in reality, the head of the guards was someone she had deliberately placed next to the Empress.
Although she was born a woman, she was born into the royal family, and the pursuit of power is in the nature of royal children.
She just awakened earlier than others, and thus she had a plan at a young age.
Unfortunately, the late emperor was incompetent and died young. In fact, she hated the Grand Princess deep down.

Moreover, he was the son of the late emperor and had a blood feud with the current emperor for killing his father. He would naturally suspect that the emperor and empress could not tolerate him and deliberately framed him for regicide in order to take the opportunity to get rid of him.
Furthermore, since the Empress's confidants plotted to kill him, the Crown Prince naturally believed them.
The old princess couldn't see any trace of Kang Le lying, but she always believed that there was more to it than that.
Then she thought about how many people in the world, whether royalty or officials, longed for the Crown Prince's death.
She can take advantage of a situation, and others might be able to as well.
Prince Yun, Prince Ning, the other princes, and even their supporters and followers are all possible candidates.
