"King Liang once had a counselor named Du Zhiwei. This person was King Liang's strategist. However, this person is now dead. Previously, I thought King Liang would be harmless without Du Zhiwei. Unexpectedly, King Liang tied himself with Liu Ruofu and King Xian," Bai Qingyan said to Dong Qingyue. "King Liang is now eager to claim the throne. Meanwhile, King Xin, the true son of the emperor who was demoted to a commoner, has also returned to Dadu. The Empress is also pregnant with another legitimate son. It seems the struggle for the throne in Dadu City has become... increasingly lively."
In Bai Jinxiu's letter, she mentioned that after King Xin returned to Dadu, he remained quiet. Aside from visiting the Empress every day, he stayed in his mansion to pray for the Empress and the child in her womb... He received no visitors and made no trips outside.
