Capítulo 253: Fortification

In the western study of the Eastern Palace:

An oppressive atmosphere circulated around the officials.

The officials looked at His Highness the Crown Prince, who sat behind the desk and had his head lowered as he read through the memorials, and then at each other. They were all unwilling to be the first one to speak.

"I heard everyone has been quite lively recently! Quite a number of memorials berating this crown prince were sent to the Queen Dowager!" The crown prince swept his eyes over the people before him while flipping through the memorials.

The Marquis of Stability, Zhao Sheng, stood outside of the crowd with his head haughtily facing the sky, his face taut and his mouth silent.

Without any surprise, the people standing behind the Marquis of Stability were from the crown prince's party led by the marquis, and they were all aiming murderous looks at their fellow officials.

Humph! Who told you to be cocky and jump around?!
