This matter, whether Prince Gong did it or not, he still knows.
Even though he has been sent to the provinces, Prince Gong will never give up the fight for the throne, nor can he let it go.
He has been at odds with the Crown Prince for years, becoming mortal enemies. If the Crown Prince ascends the throne, even if he spares him, those around him will not.
However, he is not foolish. He has just been sent to the provinces, and hasn't even stabilized morale in Luozhou. At this moment the most crucial thing is to earn the pity of the Emperor and Empress, in order to possibly return to the capital in the future.
He was even planning to fall ill after some time, then write to the Emperor claiming he couldn't eat due to homesickness, and plead to return to the capital.
Why would he incriminate the Crown Prince during the New Year?
Everyone knows that if something happens to the Crown Prince, he would be the most suspicious?
