After Nian Gengyao's corpse was dismembered in the bustling market, it was taken to the Mass Burial Mound.
No one cared whether it was dragged away by wild dogs or not.
Prince Zhi was now burdened with another crime, for inadequate supervision.
Before Prince Zhi entered the capital, Ye Zao called Hongxin over: "Tell your people to talk to Hongyu and ask him to inform his mother that your eldest uncle is definitely going to be punished. But His Majesty, considering brotherly ties, won't go too hard on him."
Hongxin laughed: "Mother, I admire you!"
With that, he left.
Ye Zao raised an eyebrow, her understanding with her son was getting better and better.
The Eighth Prince looked on in confusion, tugging at his mother's hand after a while: "Mother, where did Fifth Brother go?"
"Hmm, your Fifth Brother went to tell your Cousin Hongyu about it, didn't you hear?" Ye Zao said with a smile.
"But... Eldest Uncle did something wrong." The Eighth Prince didn't understand.
