Li Xiu bowed, awaiting instructions from His Highness.
However, His Highness said nothing and started walking.
Li Xiu hurried to catch up, cautiously asking, "Your Highness, should we send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to escort the Princess Consort and young princes back to the palace?"
Li Hongyuan gave him a sidelong glance. "Escort? If you can manage to bring them back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, you may as well replace me as the Crown Prince, OK?"
"I dare not!"
Li Xiu dropped to his knees in fright.
Li Hongyuan snorted, withdrawing his gaze.
By daybreak, everyone within and outside the Imperial Palace would know that the Princess Consort had gone home and not returned to the palace.
Undoubtedly many people would laugh at him, the Crown Prince, for not being able to control his Princess Consort.
Nevertheless, Li Hongyuan didn't care.
It wasn't that he couldn't control Jiang Ning, but rather the Jiang Family that stood behind her.
