章 485: Even your son won't be able to save you

Sheng Li reached the Eastern Palace and saw Jian Guozhi. The two bowed at each other. "The First Brother returned after many days," Sheng Li stated. "Hopefully, the journey was not troubling." 

"The journey was comfortable, Brother Sheng unless the rain poured and the route became muddier. That's why we returned late," Jian Guozhi replied. "How is Brother Sheng doing? I heard a few things from a few ministers," he stated. 

"I am well, First Brother. You might have heard about the Ministers," Sheng Li stated. The two started to walk towards the Pavilion. 

"Yes. The Imperial mother's name is dragged. The Ministers are creating chaos among the Royal Family members," Jian Guozhi opined. Sheng Li did not tell the First Prince about the true intentions of Deng Hui as he wanted to give her a chance for improvement. Moreover, Sheng Li had promised the Fourth Prince that he would take care of his mother.
