Kapitel 573: Chapter 573: The End is Nigh (2)_1

Following him, the Crown Prince, seated in a wheelchair and pushed out by the attending eunuchs, and even though the attending princes did not care for the feeble Crown Prince, they dared not act presumptuously in front of Emperor Huian. According to the order of seniority, they earnestly followed behind the Crown Prince to the already constructed high platform, lining up on either side of Emperor Huian.

The ministers and accompanying families who had long been waiting below kneeled en masse on the ground, hundreds of voices unified and loud, respectfully greeting, "Long live the Emperor, long live, long live; long life to the Crown Prince, long life, long life!"

The awe-inspiring voices carried far across the tranquil wilderness and echoed in the distance, startling countless birds into flight from the trees.
