In the Hulong Temple, the Crown Prince completed his morning ritual prayers and learned about what had happened in the court today. He furrowed his brows and went straight to the Eighth Prince's room, without returning to his own quarters.
The Eighth Prince had received the news slightly earlier than the Crown Prince, but of course, he pretended to be unaware in front of the Crown Prince.
As soon as the Crown Prince entered the Eighth Prince's room, he cursed Prince Dai for being insincere.
The Eighth Prince quickly asked what had happened.
"During the morning court today, Prince Dai pleaded for the Kong family's case and earnestly requested Father to cancel his engagement with the youngest daughter of the Kong family," the Crown Prince said, displaying a mocking expression on his face. "He hypocritically claimed that he didn't want to force the young Miss Kong to marry him, and that he didn't want the Kong family to suffer grievances because of him."
