Chương 56: Chapter 56: Grasping at Shadows

Lord Ju Nanyi, serving as an Academician at Hanlin Academy, had just arrived at the Imperial Palace from the Traveling Palace and dealt with the relevant matters before heading straight to the Crown Prince's Mansion without stopping.

Although he had not personally participated in the events at the Traveling Palace, it was not difficult to deduce what had happened.

"Lord Ju, right this way," Qi Yu led him to a reception room in the outer courtyard. From the row upon row of wooden windows of the reception room, one could see the expansive Sunken Water Lake. In spring, thick and luxuriant, the corridors were built alongside the lake, leading directly to the Crown Prince's study. The courtyard was small, yet it captured the ingenuity of divine craftsmanship perfectly. Behind the study was an artificial hill, and through another side along the lake, vaguely visible was the inner courtyard of the Crown Prince.
