Empress Jia looked straight at Prince Huaiyin.
"I do not consider myself a virtuous empress.
"After dealing with Concubine Chen, in order to eliminate future troubles, I did order people to take action on you.
"But all those people failed." At this point, Empress Jia displayed a regretful expression.
When she saw Prince Huaiyin's eyes flickering, she continued, "The reason these attempts failed was not because the people I arranged were unreliable. Neither was it because you were lucky, Huangfu Wudi. It was because…" Empress Jia suddenly paused.
Prince Huaiyin frowned slightly again.
Empress Jia sighed and continued, "It's because of your Emperor Father."
Prince Huaiyin looked at the Emperor upon hearing these words.
The Emperor's eyes revealed an uncharacteristic look of affection, and his gaze was filled with conflicting emotions.
Prince Huaiyin's heart shuddered slightly when he saw that expression.
