Since it's the Crown Prince's ceremonial procession being carried, if they're going to criticize, they'll criticize the Crown Prince.
When Rong Ning sent Rong Yang north, it was the end of March. The weather was still a bit chilly then. Now it's the end of May. Spring has gone and summer has come. The change of seasons has been completed without us even realizing it.
It was afternoon when we entered the city, and Nanyang was already unbearably hot. The sun was high in the sky, relentlessly pouring its heat onto the earth.
The streets were mostly deserted, with only a few stray dogs occasionally panting in the shade, creating an unusually quiet atmosphere.
In such weather, most people choose to stay at home to avoid the heat, so the arrival of Rong Ning and her group did not cause much of a disturbance.
"A-Ning...do you want to go back to the Princess's residence first, or go directly to the palace to see Father Emperor?" the Crown Prince asked softly, breaking the silence inside the carriage.
“Of course, I’ll go straight to the palace!” Rong Ning answered without hesitation. Her eyes were firm, and her tone revealed an unquestionable determination. “The evidence I have should be given to Father Emperor immediately.”
She clutched the dossier in her hand, which contained the secrets she had discovered during her journey north. Rong Ning knew the importance of these things.

Rong Ning looked up at the towering palace walls and said, word by word, "Brother... have you thought this through? Once you embark on this path, you can't back down or compromise. I will always be with you, but if you give up halfway, I will leave you without hesitation!"
Rong Ning's words echoed between the palace walls, her eyes firm and deep, as if she could see through people's hearts.
The Crown Prince clenched his fists, his eyes revealing an indomitable will. He nodded slowly, his voice steady and powerful, "A'Ning, since I have decided to embark on this path of no return, I will never give up halfway. Your support is my greatest motivation, and I will prove with my actions that I am worthy of your trust."
