Fang Lao felt uneasy but couldn't stop the Crown Prince from entering the palace. After all, the eunuch sent by the Emperor was still waiting; it wouldn't be good to delay too long.
Fang Lao could only advise the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, if the Emperor asks how this matter should be handled, you must remember to play the role of a good elder brother well before the Emperor. Just say that King Liang was momentarily confused, and suggest to the Emperor... at this crucial moment of peace negotiations between Daliang and the Jin Kingdom, to keep this matter under wraps!"
"Don't worry, Fang Lao! I'll remember!" The Crown Prince straightened his sleeves, held Quan Yu's hand, and got into the carriage.
Seeing the Crown Prince leave, Fang Lao immediately sent someone to Master Wang, the Minister of Rites' residence, to investigate the situation.
