Chương 1316: Chapter 1316: Open Conflict and Covert Fight (1/4)

The conversation between the Ninth Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince made everyone present feel a cold dread in their hearts.

At the same time, it also made them understand that the rift between these three had grown beyond reconciliation.

After all, if the Ninth Prince truly gained power, how could the Third and Fifth Princes, who had orchestrated such acts, possibly end well?

The first they would have to deal with would be them.

"Alright, us standing here is making it uncomfortable for everyone to sit. Shall we take our seats first?" the Ninth Prince said with a smile, gesturing towards the officials and prodigies who had all stood up.

The Third and Fifth Princes nodded and followed the Ninth Prince to the seats that were two steps higher than all the others.
