Capítulo 986: Chapter 986: Unwise

Zhulan thought of Zhang Yang's injured leg, yet despite his injury, he was restless—this was a sign of genuine urgency, "Several princes have sons, but only the fifth prince has no child. The fifth prince is truly anxious for an heir."

Xue Han had heard the rumors as well, but she had her own opinion, "Mother, I think the fifth prince's actions are unwise. So many people have suddenly been added to the inner court; if there's no news in a few months, won't the rumors escalate? By then, even false rumors will be taken as truth."

"He has no choice. If he doesn't produce a child soon to squash the rumors, the power he has painstakingly gathered will crumble."

Zhang Yang's tactics rely on the backing of powerful supporters, while Prince Qi needs only to find one point of leverage to cause Zhang Yang endless trouble, revealing the clear difference between their capabilities.
