After a while, everyone knelt at the foot of the stairs. Zhao Ying took the hands of Shangguan Qingyue and Shangguan Qiyou, who loved to watch the fun, and sat next to the emperor and empress.

Shangguan Shu stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, I have verified that the Crown Prince was indeed replaced!"
