Bab 122: He Wanted Revenge

The Crown Princess tapped her fingers as her thought went back to the assembly with the ministers that morning. The issues that Chancellor Chen had brought up that morning gave her a massive headache.

The first issue was regarding the next successor.

With Prince Jing banishment from the capital city, the ministers were starting to get restless with the issue of the next successor.

The ministers have started to pressure the Princess to get married to continue the line. As Princess Lingchen had declined to marry any of the princes invited to the Spring Hunt months ago, some of the ministers have suggested to the Emperor to let the Princess choose a Prince Consort among their sons.

The second issue was brought up by one of Chancellor Chen's trusted follower.

As the Emperor had commanded for General Jiang Xiao Xian to return to the capital city, the ministers were anxious that perhaps, with Xiao Xian's return, the Jiang family's power will grow.
