The day before, Xu Zizhou submitted a memorial requesting the dethronement of the Crown Prince. On this day, all the civil and military officials gathered at the morning court, whispering about His Majesty visiting the Eastern Palace, Qiyun Mountain, and the residence of the Second Prince yesterday.
What exactly the Emperor did at these three places yesterday, most court officials naturally did not know, nor did they dare to inquire carelessly into His Majesty's whereabouts and matters. Only a handful of officials had spies in the Eastern Palace, but none in the Second Prince's residence or Qiyun Mountain. They could only vaguely guess that when His Majesty left Qiyun Mountain and the Second Prince's residence, although his mood wasn't particularly good, he was very cordial, which was a signal.
