In fact, the Crown Prince did think about how to deal with Ye Qiu, because the military power Ye Qiu held was truly significant, and to say he wasn't apprehensive would be a lie.
However, after careful consideration, he chose not to act. Firstly, he didn't have the confidence to ensure the border's stability while moving against Ye Qiu. Secondly, as Ye Qiu had thought, he was somewhat considerate of Ye Jing and his son Xiao Rui.
Since marrying him, Ye Jing had always adhered to the rules, never overstepping by the slightest bit. During their time in Nanyue, she even endured years of hardship with him. After returning to the capital, she was neither arrogant nor did she disregard the Princess Consort relying on her son's status. Even his subordinates praised her greatly.
