Prince Jing harrumphed, "What cunning! It must be Zhao Douan's handiwork again, not only tarnishing Zhuang Xiaocheng's reputation but also destabilizing the very foundation of the rumors painstakingly woven by the Kuangfu Society. Such a vile plot, so devoid of integrity, and indifferent to honor; there's no one else in the court who would employ it."
After a pause, he asked, "How did the Kuangfu Society react? How did they respond?"
Xu Jinglong lamented, "There was no response. After Zhuang Xiaocheng's death, the Kuangfu Society fell into disarray, though Xu Jianwen's son, the symbol, still lives. Qi Yuchun took up the banner, calmed the people, and barely kept the society from falling apart completely, but its essence is greatly weakened. To confront the court anytime soon is impossible."
