Chapter 41: Bursting Into Flames (First Update)_1

Xiao Ze returned to the Eastern Palace and unleashed a great fit of rage, smashing everything in the study.

The butler, leading others with hearts pounding in terror, waited outside the study, not daring to go in and stop him, truly wanting to tell the Crown Prince that if he continued like this, there would soon be no silver left to purchase anything for the Eastern Palace.

For years, the Eastern Palace had been running a deficit. Cultivating Hidden Guards, courting court officials, expanding power—all required silver. Additionally, daily household expenses were enormous. This year, the situation had been compounded by the Crown Prince's frequent tantrums that led to smashing the study. Each outburst meant sinking a large sum of silver into buying and replacing items.
