Li Chengzhen flicked his sleeve, his tone impatient: "Understood."
With a sullen expression, Li Chengzhen followed the palace maid back to resume his studies.
Shen Wei frowned subtly. The Empress was already confined to Kunning Palace and could no longer force Li Chengzhen to study.
Yet why did the boy still have dark circles under his eyes, unsteady steps, and a listless demeanor?
Shen Wei shot Cai Ping a meaningful glance: "Cai Ping."
Understanding immediately, Cai Ping nodded swiftly. Once they returned, she would thoroughly investigate the Second Prince's recent activities.
The palanquin arrived promptly, and Shen Wei departed with her two sons.
"Mother, what is that?" Li Chengyou, seated beside Shen Wei, pointed curiously at the large wooden barrel placed in the shade along the palace wall.
Shen Wei replied, "Mung bean soup."
