From the moment they heard the royal summons from the Emperor, Prince Xiao and the others had only one thought in their minds: It's over, they must have fallen into a trap set by their father and Prime Minister Song.
Their father delayed coming out, waiting until they were about to break into the palace, then leisurely announced he'd meet them. Isn't this just watching them perform like monkeys?
Even with a thousand galloping horses stamping in their hearts, Prince Xiao and the others had to brace themselves to meet the Emperor, not forgetting to glance at Song Zhiyuan, whose gaze...
Complete disaster.
They had completely offended Prime Minister Song. He would surely make things difficult for them in front of their father later.
Song Zhiyuan smiled faintly: Sorry, but I've already sabotaged you before this. If the Emperor still appoints you as the heir, I'll admit defeat.
