In the Imperial Study Room, the Emperor had just finished with the day's memorials when he heard that Princess Longzhu had gone to the Prince Zhao Mansion.
The Emperor asked, his interest piqued.
"What was she doing at the Prince Zhao Mansion?"
Zuo Ji answered honestly, "According to my subordinates' report, Princess Longzhu went to see Prince Zhao. However, Princess Consort Zhao accompanied the Prince to meet with her. The three of them spoke in a room for a while, and in the end, Princess Longzhu was forcibly dragged out by Chen Guard. It appears they parted on bad terms."
The Emperor asked, "Do you know what they talked about?"
Zuo Ji shook his head. "Our men couldn't get close, so we failed to overhear the details of their conversation."
The Emperor's index finger tapped on the desktop.
It was a habit of his whenever he was deep in thought.
Zuo Ji didn't dare disturb the Emperor's thoughts and stood quietly to the side, unmoving.
