This old Prince Wu Nianduo is considered an extremely just and principled prince. Many times, his reputation surpasses that of Emperor Wu Rong in Yuanyang Country.
Although Emperor Wu Rong seemingly respects this royal uncle, he has long felt apprehension, fearing Wu Nianduo might seize his throne.
Everyone is aware of this; it's just not openly discussed.
"Minister Cheng, once the hunt in the western suburbs has ended and the Crown Prince's usurpation is quelled, pushing the Second Prince into position, you should leave first." Wu Nianduo told his close friend Cheng Zhuan, "As a member of the royal family, I can't simply leave. It will take time to completely depart."
"But you..." Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhuan looked extremely worried, saying, "The Emperor is very wary of you, afraid that you will seize the throne."
"Old Prince, let's leave together, hide our identity, and live in seclusion."
