"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. The traitors have been executed. The Crown Prince has done a great service in saving you and is loyal to you. Your Majesty should think more about the Crown Prince. If you pass away, he will be very sad."
The emperor finally completely believed Xiao Yan. If the eldest prince had not arrived in time during the palace coup yesterday, he would have died.
"Ayan, come here, let me take a good look at you. You weren't hurt during that dangerous situation that day, were you?"
Liu Xi brought over a stool, and Xiao Yan sat down beside the bed, his face expressionless. "Thank you for your concern, father. I'm fine. Thanks to Eunuch Liu for coming to report the news, I was able to evade the assassins and come to Zhengyang Palace."

Such filial piety is much more powerful than those flowery words."
The emperor was finally relieved. "Ayan is not good at speaking. I couldn't see clearly before, but now I see clearly. After all, Ayan is still the most suitable to be the crown prince. Go and invite Lord Tian to come. I want to draft an edict to make the eldest prince the crown prince!"
