Hail to the Princess Episode 6 Recap
> Hail to the Princess Recap
Gu Rong learned about the affair between Princess Heng and the Crown Prince. Intentionally feigning distress, she pretended to seek solace at Lingyu Temple. She also caused the mosquitoes on the Empress Dowager's side, leading the Empress Dowager to come out and accidentally discover the Crown Prince and Princess Heng. Shen Mengchui, surprised by this revelation, questioned why Gu Rong was in such a hurry to deal with the Crown Prince, as the Crown Princess had been good to them. Gu Rong explained that unless the Crown Prince fell from power, Li Xiao couldn't ascend to the throne.
Shen Mengchui was astonished, and even Li Xiao hadn't anticipated that Gu Rong harbored such intentions. Li Xiao clarified that his opposition to the Crown Prince was due to the Crown Prince sending Gu Rong's mother and sister to the front lines, clearly targeting the Gu family. Gu Rong asserted that only with Li Xiao as emperor could she regain her status. She emphasized that among the female candidates, everyone else was either hot-tempered or lacked competence, while Li Xiao genuinely cared for the realm. With Li Xiao as emperor, Luli Country could prosper.
Li Xiao mentioned his connections in the court, and Gu Rong added that she was also there, while Shen Mengchui affirmed his support. Li Xiao's people uncovered evidence that the Crown Prince had sold the jewels meant for disaster relief. Seizing the opportunity, they informed the magistrate of the capital, who confirmed the truth and reported it to the Emperor.
Enraged upon learning this, the Emperor ordered the removal of the Crown Prince, demoting him to the title of "Yu Wang." Gu Rong, Li Xiao, and Shen Mengchui were pleased when they learned of this outcome.
