"The biggest suspicion about the eldest prince is that for so many years, he would rather wander outside than return to the Imperial Palace to reunite with his parents. If there is to be an explanation, it must be that there are unfavorable factors for him in the palace. It makes sense."
Pei Zhan took a deep breath: "Previously, I had speculated that he refused to return to the palace and refused to show his face for so many years because the deposed Crown Prince had already raised a knife against him.
"But now the deposed Crown Prince is dead, and it has never been a secret that the Empress and Emperor have been waiting to meet him for these many years. He should have shown himself by now, no matter what."
"Therefore, there are only two possibilities for him not appearing until now: either he is already dead, or he still feels it is not safe to show himself."
