"Mr. Dong, urgent message from the capital!"
"What's it about?"
"The Crown Prince has voluntarily resigned from his regency, saying he's caught a cold and is recuperating in the Eastern Palace, refusing to see any visitors."
Upon hearing this sudden news, Pei Jian's forehead began to bead with sweat, unusual for this early winter season.
Right now, any small move by the Crown Prince foretells the court's next steps. Clearly, at this juncture, the Crown Prince falling ill is definitely not a good sign.
"What about the Fifth Prince?"
"His Majesty has been delaying the Fifth Prince's title, and as for the choice of the Fifth Princess, His Majesty has already rejected Qingtang from Grand General Qingye's family. It's likely the official princess will be chosen between Lien Yurou from the Lien family and Tang Yan from the Tang family!" Zhuo Qingfeng stated.
Tang Yan, the youngest daughter of the Deputy Chief Minister Tang Jing.
