“Did my Royal Brother and Sister sleep well last night?” The Second Princess sat primly . She had rather narrow eyes that were set in a cold face, and her eyes now swept over the Eldest Prince and Princess .
“Of course we slept well . ” Although the Eldest Prince had already guessed the Second Princess’s thoughts, he continued to maintain his posture of a kindly elder brother .
Rather, it was the Eldest Princess whose eyes glittered with disdain when she looked at the Second Princess .
The Second Princess laughed coldly and ignored the Eldest Prince’s calm reply .
“Eldest Royal Brother must be in a good mood to be able to sleep so well . But I… could not sleep at all last night . ”
“Oh? Is our Second Royal Sister worried about something?” The Eldest Prince pretended not to understand .
The Second Princess grunted coldly and smoothed out a small wrinkle in her sleeve . “Eldest Royal Brother, why bother with this pretense at stupidity? You probably didn’t sleep a wink either . ”
As she spoke, the Second Princess did not wait for the Eldest Prince to reply and said bluntly, “I am not here for this . Our Royal Father made Ling Yan the Crown Prince yesterday . Eldest Royal Brother, that must have been unpleasant for you . After all, you had just invited the ambassadors from the Temple of Shadows, but the position of Crown Prince fell to someone else . ”
“Second Royal Sister, I don’t understand what you are saying . It is our Royal Father’s will for our Third Royal Brother to be the Crown Prince . I have no complaints,” the Eldest Prince said with a smile .
The Second Princess detested the Eldest Prince’s hypocrisy . Although he always acted like a gentleman, he was actually more like a beast .
“Eldest Royal Brother, I shall just be direct . Ling Yan, you, and I have fought for the position of Crown Prince for a long time . Eldest Royal Brother and Sister previously worked together to imprison Ling Yan . Ling Yan will not easily overlook this wrong . If he really becomes the Emperor one day, what kind of life with my Eldest Royal Brother and Sister have?”
The Second Princess’s words caused the Eldest Prince’s expression to change slightly .
“Today, I have personally come here to form an alliance with my Eldest Royal Brother . We should set our quarrels aside . Our immediate problem is Ling Yan, who is currently the Crown Prince . He is our true enemy…” The Second Princess continued .
The Eldest Prince’s expression grew more solemn, and the smile on his face vanished . He took a small breath, and the warmth in his eyes was replaced with a sharp look .
“Second Royal Sister, you are here at just the right time . I was just discussing the matter with the ambassadors from the Temple of Shadows . ”
When the Second Princess saw that the Eldest Prince was finally speaking the truth, a trace of amusement appeared in her eyes . She looked over at Ye Qingtang and the others, who were sitting nearby .
“I wonder if the ambassadors from the Temple of Shadows have any good suggestions?”
The Second Princess and the Eldest Prince had been enemies . But now, they had a common enemy, and so they secretly formed a temporary alliance .
Lady Ghost laughed softly, but her gaze naturally fell on Ye Qingtang, and everyone else in the hall also looked at her .
Ye Qingtang really had nothing to say .
Lady Ghost was clearly testing her to see how she reacted .
What sin had she committed!
Ye Qingtang secretly took a deep breath but continued to smile faintly . She slowly reached out and lifted her teacup from the table, then took a leisurely sip . “The Emperor makes the final decision on who will be the Crown Prince . If the Emperor likes you, he can make you the Crown Prince . But if he doesn’t… he can just as easily strip the Crown Prince of his title . ”
