The King was at a loss for words as he looked at the Crown Prince's serious face, so he could only leave without any success.
Queen Zhao stood next to the Crown Prince and watched the King leave with an unfathomable gaze.
"Mother." Mo Lian frowned and broke off her gaze. "If Courtesan Zheng is too irritating, just find an excuse and eliminate her. Why should you overtax yourself over it?"
"Crown Prince, don't interfere in this matter." Queen Zhao hastily clutched her son's hand and softly said, "A mere Consort Zheng is naturally nothing, and the entire Zheng Family is just a minor patrician family who's only been in the royal capital for less than 20 years."
"However, I've heard that the Zheng Family's main clan is in Shuntian Prefecture…" the Queen continued, her voice growing quieter.
"Heh, Shuntian Prefecture again." A tinge of annoyance flashed through the Crown Prince's eyes.
