Chu Qingmeng fell silent for a moment, glanced at Mo Chenfeng, and then spoke calmly, "Imperial Uncle, what Anning has to say might sound rather harsh."
"It doesn't matter. Go ahead and speak your mind." The Emperor's voice remained unhurried.
"As things stand, the princes with designs on the throne have split into factions and are fighting among themselves. Regarding the Crown Prince's faction—well, Imperial Uncle, you can hardly be blamed for refusing to hand the throne over to him. This Crown Prince is, to some extent, simply foolish beyond belief." Chu Qingmeng's feigned casualness drew a soft chuckle from the Emperor, and she continued, "All fairness aside, if you look just at his very first day in court—at a time as critical as this fight for the succession—he actually dared to openly offend the military generals. Truly, a man with such a brain cannot shoulder the title of Crown Prince."
