Ye Weida was observing the remnants of the former dynasty and discovered that a prince was colluding with them.
The powerful remnant of the former dynasty, colluding with this prince, was indeed the prince acting as the regent of the government.
The official was merely using the prince.
When he found discrepancies in the information from the borders, from another nation.
He wanted to wait for someone, who did not come; the eunuch and the assassins he brought were missing.
He sent people to find out what was going on.
It was known that from the Northern Cold Lands should have been lost already.
Yet no information about the defeat has come through.
The remnants of the former dynasty, apart from attending court, were conspiring.
Messages from people elsewhere indicated that the borders were calm.
Their people couldn't enter the city, they didn't know whether the two countries were at war.
