Although Mr. Zhu was Li Qiong's teacher, he was, after all, an unrelated man.
It was improper for Princess Consort Zhen to meet with him directly.
She sat behind a screen, listening to the conversation between the Crown Prince and Mr. Zhu.
Li Qiong explained his current predicament, eager to hear what brilliant ideas Mr. Zhu might have.
Apparently, Mr. Zhu hadn't expected the Emperor to pull such a move before his death, and he was inwardly quite surprised.
However, he didn't let any of this show, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor throughout.
"Do not be anxious, Your Highness. This matter is not without a solution."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiong's spirits immediately lifted. He pressed urgently.
"What is your plan, Mr. Zhu? Please, tell me everything."
Mr. Zhu proceeded to lay out his plan.
As Li Qiong listened, realization dawned on him.
'So that's how it could be done!'
