Meng Yunzheng replied, "The Third Prince is dead. They planned to force the palace, thinking it was a foolproof plan, and the Third Prince personally led it. Little did they know, they fell into the Emperor's trap and were shot dead on the spot."
After the death of the Third Prince, Empress Dowager Xiao, who was still residing in the palace, hanged herself immediately upon receiving the news.
"What about the other members of the Xiao Family..."
"Except for Xiao's parents' branch, everyone else was arrested and thrown into prison."
The arrest of the Xiao Family was personally led by Xiang Weinan. Only then did the main branch of the Xiao Family realize that Xiang Weinan had always been the Emperor's man, which explained why no matter how they tried to win him over, various accidents always happened that kept the Xiang Family out of the whirlpool.
They never expected that one day they would be tricked by a junior, truly blind they were.
