Zhu Yu realized that the conspiracy and scheming they were now facing seemed to have started much earlier than initially thought.
In her mind, Lu Ze was the most suspicious person.
This Prince Shu, who appeared like an innocent and naive youth, had hidden his true intentions very well, seamless from the outside. If he hadn't been in such a hurry to dig traps for others in front of Lu Qing, he wouldn't have exposed his flaws, leading others to connect his past actions.
As the only offspring of Princess Consort Duan, who was most favored in the palace, Lu Ze enjoyed many privileges that other princes did not. In such circumstances, if he developed ambitions to overthrow the threatening Duke Yan in front of him to clear obstacles for his future succession, it made sense that Emperor Jin would tacitly approve, as he also intended to deal with Duke Yan's faction.
Yet, now it seems clearly incorrect.
