"If it were any other time, General Yingyang visiting the brothel at Yi Hong Yuan would at most cost him a position, but if it happens during the late Empress's mourning period, then the punishment would be doubled," Zhao Yao continued, "The Crown Prince's people are waiting for this moment, aiming to make Prince Dai lose his staunch supporter, General Yingyang."
Tong Xi remarked with a sense of realization, "The Crown Prince's people are truly insidious."
"It's not insidious, it's clever. Besides, if anyone is to blame, it's General Yingyang himself. If he had kept himself pure, the Crown Prince's men wouldn't have caught him by surprise," Zhao Yao said. "And Prince Dai is also to blame, for if he had strictly controlled his subordinates, such a thing wouldn't have happened."
"Your Highness is right," Tong Xi said, "Now everyone is saying that Prince Dai does not govern strictly and that he shows disrespect to the late Empress."
