The person holding back the Crown Prince is, naturally, Xu Fan.
Kidding aside, Xu Fan had painstakingly orchestrated such a grand game of chess, coinciding perfectly with the Crown Prince's cooperation with the Third Prince. Having finally reached this stage with difficulty, how could Xu Fan sit idly by and allow the Crown Prince to escape and ruin a great game?
Of course, it's impossible!
The Crown Prince's face turned pale, yet he dared not rebuke Xu Fan loudly. He simply whispered, "Old Ninth, what are you doing? Let go quickly!"
Not to mention rebuking loudly, at this moment the Crown Prince didn't even dare to speak too loudly for fear of being seen by the Third Prince.
Right now, his side was at a disadvantage. The Third Prince—no, Xu Fan must not be allowed to let the Imperial Court Crown Prince escape!
