After the meeting, the Crown Prince left the mansion and entered Chunhua Hall.
There were noticeably more guards, inner officials, and palace maids inside Chunhua Hall. The defense was tight, making it seem impenetrable even to a fly. However, these people were not only defending against outsiders but also against those inside.
The Crown Prince entered the hall calmly and settled in the main hall. The Primordial Consort walked out from the back hall and sat directly opposite the Crown Prince, without any courtesy.
One of the civil servants behind the Crown Prince frowned and shouted, "How dare you! Why do you not kneel before the Crown Prince?!"
The Primordial Consort said indifferently, "I only kneel before the Great King."
The civil servant was at a loss for words, yet unable to retort. Prince Jin was not dead yet, and the Crown Prince had already started to overstep boundaries, something easily recorded in history.
