Upon hearing this, Prince Xian was furious, yet he did not blame Zhou Wu, but rather Zhao Housheng.
"How can this matter be blamed on Young Master Zhou? It is Zhao Housheng who dared to lay such a heavy hand on my son. Even though Dingyuan Marquis is behind him, what of it? The Dingyuan Marquis has already gone to Jiangxi, so I'd like to see who else dares to stand up for him now," Prince Xian spoke, his face full of malice.
To say that Prince Xian was usually a benevolent person, without much temper towards anyone, yet this son of his was his one and only precious, the sole surviving child between him and the Princess, after several sons failed to survive.
As a result, his son's lineage has been broken, a fate worse than having their ancestral graves desecrated. If it wasn't for the Dingyuan Marquis' influence, Zhao Housheng would have been executed on the spot, rather than being kept alive in a cell.
