"Why did the Fourth Prince want to kill the Second Miss?"
The Fourth Prince pretended to marry Situtu Qinger while scheming against Xuexue, which the Emperor was also aware of. Therefore, upon learning that the Fourth Prince's plan failed, he was quite furious. As for Situtu Qinger's affair with a servant, he did not take it seriously.
Indeed, she was merely a pawn. How could the Emperor pay attention to a Concubine-born Daughter with such low status?
However, since a murder case has occurred, General Situ must pursue it. As the Emperor, he cannot just ignore it; otherwise, it would dishearten so many ministers present. Moreover, Situ Yongjie holds military power and has long been someone he's tried to win over. However, since this matter involves the Prince, given its significant implications, it must be handled with caution.
"Um..., Subject does not know. You would have to ask the Fourth Prince himself."
"Did only Miss Situ see this incident?"
