章 759: His Highness the Crown Prince Is Really Affectionate

"What explanation did the crown prince give?" Gu Qingxue asked.

"Everyone treated this incident as an accident, so no one took it to heart. In addition, on the day of the thirteenth princess's accident, the crown prince had brought the beaten-up Peng Zhou to the palace to look for the emperor, pleading for the emperor to punish him as well, saying that he had failed to protect the thirteenth princess. Naturally, the emperor did not blame the crown prince. He said that this matter had nothing to do with the crown prince and asked him to go back. After the crown prince sent Peng Zhou away, he returned to the empress' Fengling Palace and took care of the thirteenth princess for a day and a night. He only left this morning and returned to the crown prince's residence," Qin Yun said.
