Chapter 290. There’s a mole, terminate the deal.
The events that transpired in the Imperial Palace spread like the wind throughout the entire Capital.
Not only were officials of all levels discussing it, but even among the common folk, countless people were talking about it.
Undoubtedly, someone was fanning the flames, perhaps it was Qiao Sen’s subordinates in the Crown Prince Mansion, or maybe those who were displeased with Di Ao were secretly adding fuel, making the fire burn even hotter.
For a moment, the once invincible Di Ao and the Di Faction seemed to be on the brink of a storm, with Great Xia showing signs of tilting.
Of course, this was just an illusion. Although Di Ao lost all three confrontations with Qiao Sen today, her strength wasn’t significantly damaged.
Those affected by this sudden wave were merely fair-weather friends.
However, Qiao Sen’s momentum had already surged, and with the legitimacy of her royal bloodline on her side, those neutral and indecisive were naturally her base, and they could turn into a major threat to Di Ao at any moment if they chose to support Qiao Sen.
After leaving the Imperial Palace, Fang Zhou first visited the Crown Prince Mansion.
The Crown Prince Mansion, previously desolate, now became bustling with activity, crowded with visitors.
A large number of fair-weather friends came to pledge their allegiances, with carriages lining up on the long street in front of the gate, mirroring yesterday’s scene at the General Mansion of Di Ao.
Inside the mansion, it was even more lively, with at least one-third of the court officials gathering, discussing state affairs with Qiao Sen regarding the regency.
