The Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Censor found it inconvenient to speak up easily.
Resolution was already visible in the Crown Prince's eyes.
In this pull and tug, even if he couldn't completely clear himself of suspicion, he couldn't gain the full trust of the Empress, but at least he dragged the Pei family into the water; they couldn't remain clean!
The interests of imperial power are above all. Given the limited choice of heirs, not only could the Emperor and Empress not make decisions lightly, but the entire court could not risk a dynastic interruption. As the Crown Prince, he held this trump card. Until it was absolutely necessary, who would want to tear this facade apart?
One must know that no matter how confident one is, fighting till the end comes at a cost!
It's good that Prince Rong and his son are dead!
Xu Yin did an excellent job on this matter!
