These days, the atmosphere at court is extremely tense, with the Crown Prince's faction and Prince Dai's faction fiercely clashing. If it's not you biting me, it's me biting you, biting viciously. Both sides have taken a piece of flesh from one another.
The officials who remain neutral or support the Fourth Prince or other princes watch the battles between the Crown Prince's faction and Prince Dai's faction as if they are watching a monkey show.
The members of the Crown Prince's faction and Prince Dai's faction dare not make too much of a fuss. If they go too far, the emperor will not easily spare them.
