The Emperor received the news of Gu Jian's critical illness at the end of May. After a journey of over a month, by mid-July, the sons of several Crown Princes had arrived in Liangdu.
At the gates of Liangdu City, the relatives of the Princes who got the news had been waiting early in the morning, and all of them were the heads of their respective families.
With the Princes and their sons holding such esteemed statuses, no one dared to show negligence.
However, only Deshou, the butler from the Prince Residence, came to receive them. This was because there was no representative from the fourth Prince's side in Liangdu; it was only because Xiao Moreng, who seldom visited, did not come that he was sent to welcome them.
Regarding this, each family had some complaints in their hearts, and the An Family was the most dissatisfied among them.
