Su Hao returned to the city from patrolling outside, and it was already nighttime.
He hurried to check on Su Chenyang's injuries. Although Su Chenyang kept saying that he was not in pain and would recover with some rest, the blood-stained back was evident.
Su Hao was very angry, "The Zuo Residence is favored by the Eighth Prince, but their people provoke the Marquis's Manor. I will not back down!"
Su Hao intended to enter the palace overnight to report to the Crown Prince and Chu Jinling, but Wu Jinyan stopped him, "Rest for a night. The children are exhausted today. Princess Xi and Little Ning have both been injured. Princess Xi has a large bruise on her neck, and Little Ning is already fast asleep. If you disturb the Crown Prince, remember he is still a child."
With Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan absent, young Chu Heng shoulders the responsibility of overseeing the state. Even with his elder brother and loyal ministers by his side, he has been deprived of childhood joy.
