The next day.
Prince Tai's Mansion.
The Western Emperor Wu Zheng has a total of seventeen children. Among them, the Eldest Prince Wu Kun, the Second Prince Wu Tai, and the Seventh Princess Wu Yiren were born to Empress Lin Yuan.
The Eldest Prince Wu Kun has been killed by Si Minglan, while the Second Prince Wu Tai is gentle in character and steady in actions, earning considerable support from many ministers in the court.
Yet, his birth mother, Empress Lin Yuan, treats him with extreme indifference, never supporting Wu Tai's claim to the title of Crown Prince.
As a result, the position of Crown Prince in the West Imperial Dynasty has remained undecided.
This has led to the other princes coveting the position, and although Wu Tai is the Second Prince and born to the Empress, he does not have much advantage in this battle for succession.
Among Wu Zheng's seventeen children, the Seventh Princess Wu Yiren is the most favored and is allowed to reside within the palace.
