The Empress, leading everyone out, left behind Consort Qi who glared at Consort Song and her child with resentment before departing.
She knew that if the Third Prince were to move to the Prince Residence, her own Second Prince would surely follow.
Although logic told her they would have to leave by next year at the latest, she still felt uneasy.
Even if it was just a month earlier, Consort Qi would find a reason to disdain Consort Song.
However, thinking it over, she felt it was good that the Third Prince was being sent away now. The more incompetent the Third Prince became, the happier Consort Qi would surely be.
Having understood this, she returned with a smile on her face.
As for Ye Zao, she did not pay much attention. She had seen it clearly.
The Third Prince had a temper, but not much courage.
If he truly had the courage, he wouldn't have begged for mercy today. What was the point of crying and wailing?
He was still young now, and Fourth Master looked on him with favor.
