The night was deep.
In the hostel located dozens of miles away from the capital, Prince Dai burned the letter he had just finished reading over the candle flame.
The warm candlelight did not dispel the chill on Prince Dai's face. Fu Zhong cautiously spoke, "Your Highness, has something happened in the capital?"
With a cold expression, Prince Dai said in a grim voice, "There has been a change regarding adding jewels to my crown." He was set to arrive in the capital the next day, but the matter of adding jewels to his crown had yet to be finalized. He had originally thought it would be done before his return to the capital.
"Did the Emperor disagree?" For some time, there had been no imperial decree to add jewels to His Highness's crown, so Fu Zhong had a bad feeling that the matter might fall through. He hadn't dared to bring it up in the past few days, fearing it would anger His Highness.
