The Emperor instructed Prince Chu not to hurry to court, but to rest at home for several days, considering his journey had been extremely arduous.
Prince Chu did not refuse the opportunity to rest this time and obediently followed the Emperor's arrangements, planning to recuperate at home for several days. He specifically announced that he did not wish to be disturbed by anyone during his rest period. Regardless of who came to see him, he would not meet them.
Ministers who supported Prince Chu went to pay him a visit, only to find themselves turned away.
Others saw Prince Chu shut himself away, refusing to see anyone, and they grew more puzzled, secretly wondering: What is Prince Chu up to?
They knew that Prince Chu visited the Emperor the day he returned to the capital and had a lengthy conversation with his Majesty in the Imperial Study. If there weren't important matters, Prince Chu wouldn't have talked to the Emperor for such a long time.
