Everyone was caught off guard, as it was none other than the Prince of the Barbarian Country who spoke up.
And he...
The direction he was pointing...
Was actually at the eldest Princess!
Both men and women present widened their eyes in disbelief.
Has the Prince of the Barbarian Country lost his mind?
The Empress had arranged for him to marry the second Princess, clearly in an effort to secure the current heir's position—it was obvious to anyone with clear sight. Not to mention the influence the Qin family now wielded.
The succession of the second Princess seemed almost a given, to the extent that ministers had already begun choosing sides in their hearts.
Was the Prince of the Barbarian Country unclear in his thinking, or what?
The envoys from the Barbarian Country exchanged glances. Seeing the looks in the eyes of the ministers and palace maids present, they signaled to the Prince not to speak any further.
