People in the court who learned that Ye Zi'an fell ill were either delighted or concerned.
Those who were delighted thought that although Ye Haoxuan had become Prince An, how could a child protect his royal title without Ye Zi'an?
Truly a person of meager blessings, once favored too generously, he couldn't bear it.
More than a few shared this sentiment, and one day, someone even proposed to the Emperor to retract the title of Prince An, arguing that a lowly life couldn't bear such substantial grace. "Isn't his father ill now?" they said.
As a result, the Emperor sternly reprimanded them.
When the news reached Shandong, Yang Chuxia harshly mocked those people. How foolish to think Brother An's illness was due to being unable to bear the favor of the imperial family, indirectly blaming the Emperor. If the Emperor didn't confer the title, would Ye Zi'an not fall ill?
