"Finally, there is my son, Xin'er."

After the people had all stood up, Yi Mianjue pulled Yi Mianxin aside and said, "Xin'er was the one who resurrected the gods, accompanied them on the journey, and used her own blood to open the forbidden area. This time, she is also a great hero of our clan!"

"Thank you, Third Prince!"

Upon hearing this, the people all raised their voices again. Although they did not kneel down, the reverence in their eyes was evident.

Yi Mianjue was very satisfied with the people's reaction, which made it a natural progression for Yi Mianxin to succeed to the throne in the future.

The princes beside them, especially the eldest prince, stared wide-eyed in disbelief upon seeing this result.

Back then, Yi Mianxin refused to marry no matter what, and without a princess, everyone regarded him as someone without any competitiveness. Who would have thought that he would actually make a comeback overnight.

By mentioning Yi Mianxin's achievements in such a setting, Yi Mianjue's attitude is very clear: his preferred successor is Yi Mianxin!

"Big brother!"

The princes and princesses around them all looked at the eldest prince. They knew that the eldest prince had done a lot over the years, which everyone had witnessed. So much hard work had gone to waste overnight, and he must be feeling very sad.

"It's nothing."

The eldest prince clenched his fists tightly, but finally took a deep breath and swallowed the sweet taste in his throat. "Our royal family has always believed in meritocracy. Father thinks the third brother is more outstanding, so naturally it will be the third brother."

“I am very pleased that my son thinks this way.”

At this moment, Yi Mianjue glanced at the eldest prince and nodded slightly, then turned to the people and said, "Therefore, today I hereby announce that the third prince is to be the crown prince."

"Father..."

Everyone thought that Yi Mianjue was just expressing his attitude today, but no one expected that he would actually appoint a crown prince, which completely stunned everyone.

"Greetings, Prince Xin! Congratulations!"

It was the people from the Third Prince's residence who reacted first, excitedly offering their congratulations.

"Congratulations, Crown Prince Xin!"

The people then realized what was happening and knelt down to pay their respects.

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the love of the world. The people were very satisfied with this outcome, and they had no say in what the other princes thought.

In their minds, no king was more trustworthy and worthy of their support than one who had gone to such lengths to find a way to break the curse.

"Congratulations, Crown Prince Xin."

Now that the die is cast, the princes can only bow and offer their congratulations.

However, deep down they were all resentful.

Because donating blood is related to the curse of the entire Yi clan, if it were them who were the ones Yi Mianjue brought back, they would have done it without hesitation.

Ultimately, it's because Yi Mianjue is biased!

Thank you.

Yi Mianxin had already anticipated this outcome, so he remained very calm. He smiled and nodded to everyone, then stepped forward and raised the bottle high, saying, "Today, I, the Crown Prince, will drink this medicine with everyone and embark on a new life together. The future is promising!"

"The future is promising!"

Upon hearing these four words, the people's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and they all roared out in unison.

After Yi Mianxin drank the blood from the bottle, the people all drank it down with a devout attitude.

Blood does have a slightly fishy taste, but everyone was so caught up in the joy of impending liberation that they didn't notice it. They just thought the medicine was sweeter and more delicious than anything else.
