The full moon banquet was drawing to a close.
The Emperor and the Empress Dowager took their leave.
Having had a few too many, Li Hao was already a little tipsy.
Just then, a eunuch hurried over, stopped beside him, and spoke in a low voice.
"Your Highness, this servant just went to get you some sobering tea and accidentally ran into Liang Yong on the way."
Li Hao's mind was a bit fuzzy, and for a moment, he couldn't remember who Liang Yong was.
The eunuch reminded him, "He's the eunuch who serves the Fourth Prince—the skinny, small one."
Li Hao finally remembered.
"Oh, him. What about him?"
The eunuch glanced around, and only after confirming no one was paying them any attention did he quietly repeat what he had overheard.
"Liang Yong ordered someone to find Zijuan's family, arrange an 'accident,' and kill them all. This is to prevent them from spreading the word about Zijuan and causing trouble for the Fourth Prince."
