Fang Lao's body trembled, and he frantically kowtowed. "This old man only has the Crown Prince in his heart!"
"If you didn't have me in mind, would you even be standing here?! You openly and secretly excluded Qin Shangzhi. Did you really think I didn't know?! Fang Lao... Considering your loyalty and the years you've planned alongside me, I have always helped you suppress Qin Shangzhi. You hinted at others to ostracize Qin Shangzhi both openly and secretly. Did you really think I was blind?!"
The Crown Prince, in a fit of rage, walked up to Fang Lao and bent down to yell at him. "I knew everything! But I never questioned it because you accompanied me through my most difficult times! To me, you are worth more than ten Qin Shangzhis! Even if your strategies sometimes weren't as good as Qin Shangzhi's, I still followed them. In the worst case, I would make up for it afterward. Tell me, how has this Crown Prince treated you?!"
