"Cough, cough, cough." Emperor Taifeng sat hunched on his couch, his cold eyes fixed on the Third Prince as he scoffed, "Judging by your actions today, it is clear that I was right not to favor you."
The Third Prince flicked his sleeve hard, his expression sullen. "Whatever you say, Father, you must face the reality that it is I who stands before you now. You do not have long to live, and your other sons will soon follow in your footsteps. Instead of letting the empire of Dayu fall into the hands of another, you had best write the edict of abdication and pass the throne to me!"
Emperor Taifeng slowly scanned Right Prime Minister Meng, the Duke of the State, and Heir Huidun, who stood beside the Third Prince. He suddenly chuckled. "Are you asking me to pass the throne to you, or to them? Shen Mingyao, with your intellect, you are no match for them."
