Back when doing the military examination, he secretly used Thunderbolt Grenades and ended up blowing his own leg crippled.
Later, he even led people to bully decent women in public.
Not a single piece of these scandals leaked out.
It was all suppressed by the Emperor. Do you really think nothing happened?
And then there's the Fifth Prince.

Whether it's sucking up to power or having deep schemes.
He's certainly not as simple as he appears.
Empress Dowager Zhen's own two sons are like this, yet she still has the nerve to criticize her.
It's simply laughable!
Empress Dowager Zhen, hit back with sarcasm, felt like punching cotton, only to find sharp needles hidden within, her face instantly full of awkwardness.
Unable to retort, she can only swallow her pride and anger.
