The Fourth Prince, wearing an eye patch, although still tall and handsome, had lost his once beautiful features due to the loss of one eye, and his temperament had grown increasingly eccentric as a result.
The Second Prince felt a surge of pride in his heart. Fortunately, the Fourth Prince had a physical disability, which led the Empress to adopt him under her name. Henceforth, to outsiders, he was officially the Empress's legitimate son, a done deal that couldn't be easily altered. The Fourth Prince was too naive.
The Second Prince, not wanting to clash with the Fourth Prince, deliberately went along with his words, planning to dismiss the Fourth Prince first, and then subtly inform the Empress of the matter later.
Since the Empress intended to use him to ascend to the Crown Prince's position and preserve her status, she would certainly not allow the Fourth Prince to cause trouble.
