Emperor Muwu had two sons, with Ye Chengyan being the eldest and his favorite.
He loved him dearly, but also worried that his son might be deceived by others.
However, Ye Chengyan did not share the same concerns.
As the crown prince, he felt humiliated to be reprimanded in front of Ye Siheng and Chu Nanli.
It was a blow to his dignity.
How could he expect the Ninth Prince to respect him after such an incident?
With his head lowered, he felt a sense of shame and embarrassment. "I will remember the teachings of my father," he said meekly.
Emperor Muwu let out a sigh and rewarded Nanli before dismissing them.
As Ye Chengyan left the Changqiu Hall, he intended to leave immediately.
However, Ye Siheng called out to him, "Crown Prince, is that Taoist Xue still at Yuanqiu Mountain?"
"Uncle, rest assured," Ye Chengyan replied with a stern tone, "I have already sent someone to attend to him under the guise of serving him."
