The Emperor has fallen into a coma, and the Sixth Prince is now acting as regent. This sudden event left the court officials unprepared.
Many officials privately harbored doubts, yet recalling the recent kidnapping of Xiao Moreng and his siblings Daozi, combined with uncertainty over whether the Emperor would ever regain consciousness, they wisely chose to remain silent.
Since the Sixth Prince began acting as regent, he allowed members of the Imperial Clan and ministers to visit the Emperor during the first two days. Afterward, he cited the Emperor's recovery requiring peace and quiet as a reason to refuse all visitors.
"How dare they! The Concubine Shu and Sixth Brother are clearly just keeping Father under house arrest!"
"Fourth Brother, you can't simply stand by and let this happen!"
