A slow and leisurely voice said, "Elder Brother, you are mistaken!"
Following the voice, Prince Li unhurriedly strolled out, stopping half an inch behind the Crown Prince, and bowed to the Emperor. His positioning was interesting; if not observed closely, it would seem as though he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the Crown Prince.
But if someone were to find fault, he indeed stood half an inch behind; half an inch is still a distance!
Besides, everyone was now focused on how the Emperor would decide. The previous court disputes suddenly became a clash of differing opinions between the Crown Prince and Prince Li. Who would care about such a minor difference in positioning?
It was unfortunate for those officials with low ranks, standing far in the back; they couldn't hear what was being said up front nor clearly see the situation, yet they had to remain there, waiting the entire time.
