Great Hall
The Fourth Prince, accompanied by several guards, was pacing back and forth in the great hall with his hands behind his back, glancing around from east to west.
The table was filled with pastries and hot tea, yet not a glance did he give, let alone sit down.
Ever since his return to the Imperial Palace, the Empress Mother had analyzed the current political situation with him, pointing out how crucial Great General Situ's position was, explaining that by winning him over, they could at least reduce the War Prince's influence.
Moreover, securing Xuexue's support would make his ascension to the Crown Prince's position a trivial matter.
The Fourth Prince thought it over and concluded that the Empress Mother was right. Hence, he came to the General's Mansion today, intending to get close to Xuexue, hoping for the early bird to catch the worm.
