The primary reason is revenge!
When the Crown Prince was at a crucial point in his ascent, he extended an olive branch to Xuelong. Not only did you, a reckless young man, refuse it, but you also turned around and exposed the unspeakable recruitment to the public. So, do you think the Crown Prince would be furious?
Now that the Crown Prince has gained power, sweeping through the princes with no opposition, his position in the Eastern Palace is as stable as an old dog. If he doesn't target you, who would he?
What is the second reason?
The Emperor is seriously ill, and the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne. However, some key figures in the court are fiercely opposing the Crown Prince's ascension. As long as there's any matter opposing the Crown Prince, they all vehemently resist.
How can the Crown Prince ascend the throne with peace of mind without getting rid of these people?
