In the Prince's residence, Hongfen sat idly in the front courtyard study.
Suddenly, he was put under house arrest. He had been receiving news from outside, and when Lady Li was almost sentenced to death, he nearly rushed out.
Unfortunately, the Imperial Forest Army was guarding the place, so he couldn't get out.
Finally, news came that it was the Noble Consort who had saved his mother, but there was still no word from outside the palace.
He did not know how his maternal family was faring.
But no matter what, as a Prince, he was now useless.
No ministers would ever request for him to be made the Crown Prince again.
The events from a few years ago remained vivid in his memory, and now his mother was still a tainted consort. The Li Family was branded with the crime of treason.
Whatever the final decision might be, they would lose their titles at best, and face exile at least.
Perhaps his maternal grandfather and uncles might even have to die.
