"Your Highness, a secret report has just arrived from Xuan Manor. The Xuan Prince is going to take a maidservant as his wife." A retainer of First Prince Chu Hengyue was reading the news from Chu Hengyuan's estate to Chu Hengyue.
"Sixth Brother no longer has his birth mother, so he can never amount to much. It is Third Brother and Fourth Brother who truly pose a threat to this prince. I simply cannot understand what His Majesty is thinking. Clearly, I am his eldest son, yet all these years he refuses to appoint me as the crown prince, simply because I am not born of the empress. What a senile old fool! Where is this prince lacking?" With that, Chu Hengyue clenched his fists and slammed one of them down onto the table.
"Your Highness, watch your tongue." The retainer immediately glanced toward the door, relieved to see no one else was about.
