Sun Kui thought of something, his expression shocked, "Your Majesty, if it really is related to the Yangzhou rebellion, wouldn't that mean there are Dong Jin's people within the capital?!"
The Emperor was not surprised that there were Dong Jin's people in the capital. He had always had people watching them, but he hadn't expected there to be Dong Jin's people in the Hulong Temple.
"Your Majesty, what is Dong Jin's purpose in assassinating the Crown Prince?" Sun Kui speculated, "To cause chaos in the capital?" Though the Crown Prince is the heir apparent, openly he is not as favored as Prince Dai. If the assassination of the Crown Prince were successful, the biggest beneficiary would be Prince Dai, but this wouldn't change anything.
