“I will convey your opinions to His Majesty. That’s all for today. At the morning court tomorrow, His Majesty will announce the candidate for the crown prince.”

With that, the Empress Dowager stood up and returned to the harem.

Everyone came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in twos and threes and discussed the appointment of the crown prince in low voices.

The Old Marquis, Wei Xu, and Su Cheng were the last out.

The three of them knew Emperor Jing Xuan’s condition better than the others. The Empress Dowager was probably the one who made the decision.

Su Cheng pondered and said, “Did the Empress Dowager look at us a little strangely just now?”

Wei Xu said, “The Empress Dowager is a smart person. She knows what to do.” The Empress Dowager went to Emperor Jing Xuan’s bedroom.

After the imperial physician’s relentless treatment, Emperor Jing Xuan could already open his eyes.

However, although he was awake, he could not speak or move.

Eunuch Fu, the seal eunuch, the eunuch holding the brush, and the editor of the Hanlin Academy knelt in front of the dragon bed.

At this moment, Editor Jiang of the Hanlin Academy had just finished writing an imperial edict and the seal eunuch was about to seal it.

Hearing the news that the Empress Dowager had arrived, they stopped what they were doing and turned around on their knees to bow to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager slowly walked in with the Empress and glanced at everyone coldly. “Bring the imperial edict.”

Editor Jiang glanced at Emperor Jing Xuan on the dragon bed.

Emperor Jing Xuan’s eyes widened and his body trembled slightly. Saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth, but he could not make a sound.

The Empress Dowager said in a low voice, “Editor Jiang, do you want to disobey my decree?”

“I wouldn’t dare.”

Editor Jiang braced himself and handed the imperial edict that he had just written to the Empress Dowager.

Eunuch Cheng brought the imperial edict over and handed it to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager opened it and took a look. “The few of you, wait outside the hall.”

The few of them stood up and left. The Empress Dowager said, “Fu De Quan, stay.”

Eunuch Fu stayed behind in fear.

After Editor Jiang, the seal eunuch, and the pen eunuch left, the Empress

Dowager looked at Eunuch Fu. “You’re really a good servant of His Majesty.”

Eunuch Fu knelt down. “Empress Dowager, please forgive me!”

The Empress Dowager unhurriedly came to the bed and threw the imperial edict into the incense burner.

The veins on Emperor Jing Xuan’s forehead throbbed.

The Empress Dowager looked at him indifferently. “Raise your second son as the crown prince? Have you considered the consequences?”

Emperor Jing Xuan stared at the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager said, “You only have two choices. Establish the third son or the grandson of King Nanyang.”

Emperor Jing Xuan’s pupils trembled!

The Empress Dowager said, “That’s right. King Nanyang has descendants. You can only choose one of these two so that the Qin, Wei, and Su families won’t rebel. If you think that Second Brother can withstand the rebellion of these three families, pretend that I didn’t come today!”

With that, the Empress Dowager left without looking back.

The Empress followed the Empress Dowager out without looking at Emperor Jing Xuan.

“Mother.”

The Empress spoke outside the Qianqing Palace.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes in pain. ‘You want to ask King Nanyang’s grandson?”

“No.” The Empress shook her head. “I’m just worried about Mother.”

The Empress Dowager said, “I’m quite envious of you sometimes. You only have one child, so you don’t have to worry about siblings killing each other. Among the three grandchildren, the second son is the closest to me. He has been raised by me for two years and is sensible and motivated… The third son is also my biological grandson. It’s a tough call a tough call, but who asked them to be born into the emperor’s family? If possible, I would rather never enter the palace and be the Empress Dowager.”

The next day, the Empress Dowager went to coart on behalf of Emperor

Jinxuan and read the edict to establish the crown prince.

When they heard that it was King An, Xiao Zhonghua, Xiao Duye and Xiao Shunyang were shocked.

Xiao Duye felt that if it wasn’t him, it would be Second Brother. It wouldn’t be Third Brother’s turn.

Xiao Shunyang understood that his father would definitely appoint him as the heir apparent.

Why was it King An, Xiao Zhonghua?
