The Fourth Prince and the Third Prince had other matters to attend to, so after visiting the Crown Prince, they returned to the palace. Zhao Yao, out of concern for the Eighth Prince's injuries, did not return with the Fourth Prince but stayed at Hulong Temple to watch over the Eighth Prince.
Initially, the Fourth Prince was uneasy about Zhao Yao staying behind. After all, the Crown Prince had just been assassinated last night, and there might be a second assassination attempt. Staying at Hulong Temple was indeed dangerous. However, Zhao Yao told him that the Emperor had already sent people to tighten the defenses at Hulong Temple, ensuring there wouldn't be a second wave of assassins.
Seeing Zhao Yao's insistence on staying to look after the Eighth Prince, the Fourth Prince could only agree. If the Fourth Prince had not been occupied with historical records, he would have stayed to accompany Zhao Yao.
