Chapter 1291: The Eternal Royal Family (2)
A look of cold amusement flashed across the Eldest Prince’s eyes . He had no friendly feelings for this younger sister who was always vying with him for the throne .
The Eldest Prince could not help but be somewhat worried when the Second Princess had sought the support of the Advisor . In recent years, the Eternal Emperor’s health had declined steadily, and the fight for the throne had become more intense .
Although the Eldest Prince knew that the Temple of Shadows had chosen him, he had yet to see the Temple of Shadows make a move . He could not help but worry, so he had invited the ambassadors from the Temple of Shadows to provide added security .
When he thought of that, the Eldest Prince’s gaze involuntarily fell on Ling Yan, who had yet to speak .
The truth was, he was more worried about this Third Royal Brother than the Second Princess .
Everyone was aware of Ling Yan’s brilliance . However, Ling Yan had not appeared to ally himself with any other power . As a result, the Eldest Prince had not taken him seriously before, although he had tried various schemes to get rid of him .
However, Ling Yan had escaped unscathed from these schemes . This had caused the Eldest Prince to be even warier of Ling Yan’s ability and intelligence .
However…
Now that the ambassadors from the Temple of Shadows had arrived, he felt even surer of seizing the throne .
Although Ling Yan was brilliant, it would be extremely difficult for him to oppose the Temple of Shadows and the Sacred Ground of Reflection .
On the surface, the banquet was a picture of harmony . But fierce currents lurked beneath the surface .

The Eternal Emperor looked at the three ambassadors from the Temple of Shadows . He had met Lady Ghost before, but the other two were unfamiliar . “Some matters have arisen within the dynasty recently . If we are remiss in anything, I hope the ambassadors from the Temple will forgive us . ”
Lady Ghost smiled and said, “Before we arrived, the Eldest Prince already told us that the Fourth Prince recently passed away . The Emperor must be deeply grieved . ”
The Eternal Emperor could not help but sigh softly at the mention of the Fourth Prince . “I am already old, and it is time to consider the matter of succession . Miao’er was unfortunate to die at such a young age . This had brought me much grief . ”
The Eternal Emperor’s passing comment caused all the princes, princesses, and senior ministers present to prick up their ears .
“Although Miao’er is dead, the Eternal Dynasty needs a new crown prince to reassure the people . I do not have many children, and they are all seated here today . ” As the Eternal Emperor spoke, his loving gaze swept across his sons and daughters who were seated at the banquet .

The Eternal Emperor seemed to be hinting at something .
At that moment, the Eldest Prince and Princess were the most agitated . Today’s banquet was to entertain the guests from the Temple of Shadows, but the Eternal Emperor had brought up the matter of succession . Was he hinting at something?
The Eldest Prince felt assured of victory, whether in terms of timing, location, or support .
An expectant look involuntarily surfaced in his eyes .
Rather, it was the Second Princess who looked rather pale . She had already arrived at the same conclusion as the Eldest Prince . At that moment, she could not conceal her inner unease . She kept glancing out of the hall . After a while, a look of joy suddenly surfaced in her eyes .

“Your Majesty worries too much . Your Majesty is still hale . There is no need to make hasty decisions regarding the succession . ” A casual voice suddenly rang out from outside the entrance of the main hall .
Everyone looked over and saw a white-robed old man with white hair slowly walk through the door of the main hall .
This old man had a suave and other-worldly air .
“Advisor, you’re late . ” The Eternal Emperor looked up and said with a smile .
