Liang Chen's mind suddenly conjured up the image of King Yan on the day of the deposed Crown Prince's palace coup, sitting on the palace railing, smiling and gazing up at the kite in the sky.
"In the eyes of the court officials, King Yan has always been the youngest child favored by the Empress, and indeed, he has lived under her watchful eye all these years.
"Yet I do not know how he managed to secretly plan all of this?"
Pei Zhan stopped in his tracks, bit his lower lip, and looked at him, unable to respond.

Just after Pei Zhan entered the palace without turning back, Fu Zhen turned around and caught Liang Xuan, intending to send him back.
Liang Xuan refused no matter what and quickly ran to Mrs. Pei to act cute. Mrs. Pei was naturally soft-hearted and couldn't resist his coaxing. She immediately decided to let him stay, and the grandchildren treated Fu Zhen as if he were invisible, discussing food in front of him back and forth.
Fu Zhen returned to his room sulkingly.
