Suddenly learning the news that his Mother Consort was murdered, the Second Prince was in a state of chaotic confusion, both heartbroken and enraged, feeling helpless.
The Second Prince weakly waved Xiao Wen away, saying, "Leave me, I need some time to calm down."
Xiao Wen attempted to console him: "Second Prince, you need to take things a little easier."
The Second Prince shouted irritably, "Out."
"Yes."
Left with no choice, Xiao Wen stepped out.
The steward was guarding outside the door, and upon seeing him exit, he quietly asked, "What did you say to the Second Prince?"
Both of them being close to the Second Prince, there was no need to hide the truth, so Xiao Wen recounted the conspiracy and scheme of the Empress to kill the son and seize the mother.
The steward's eyes widened in shock; the Empress had always seemed so kind to the Second Prince, it was unimaginable she would commit such a heinous act behind his back.
