Chapter 800
The eldest prince rushed into the palace in a great hurry.
Upon entering the palace, he discovered that Consort De was waiting for him.
"Sit down quickly!"
As soon as the eldest prince sat down, Consort De dismissed all the servants without even offering him a sip of tea.
The eldest prince silently swallowed.
"What on earth is going on?" Consort De asked anxiously. "How did you suddenly become the Crown Prince? Didn't I tell you to just train your third brother? What have you done?!"
If someone else suddenly became the crown prince, their whole family would probably be overjoyed. Consort De's behavior was really too strange.
The eldest prince sighed: "Mother, I didn't do anything! Before, you said that I was no match for my second brother, and that I didn't have the ability to contend for the throne. I took it all to heart! I really didn't have any other ideas!"
Consort De frowned: "You fought so fiercely with the second prince before, and the position of crown prince was still a long way off. Now that the second prince is gone, and you are focusing on assisting the third prince, the position of crown prince has fallen into your hands?"
These words sounded very strange.
The eldest prince sighed: "Mother, I really can't figure out the situation now... Should I go and ask Father?"
After pondering for a long time, Consort De finally nodded: "This is the only way now, you should go quickly."

This imperial edict also stirred up a huge wave outside.
Previously, everyone thought that the emperor's mind was uncertain and that the selection of a crown prince would not be decided for the next two years. The ministers were all considering which side to take. Unexpectedly, the imperial edict was issued just like that.
It happened so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard.
For a moment, no one dared to have any other thoughts, and they all lay low, waiting for the emperor's next move.
However, the Yunnan Prince's Palace was completely unaffected by this news.
Huo Yue and Chen Zongwen even had the leisure to sit together and drink.
"Brother Chen, you really know His Majesty well. Just a couple of days ago you said that His Majesty might choose the eldest prince, but who would have thought that the imperial decree would be issued so soon!"
Chen Zongwen waved his hand: "It's not that I know His Majesty so well, it's just that many people think this way, and I'm the only one who said it out loud."
The eldest prince has been in the court for so many years and has a deep foundation, which is something the third prince cannot compare to.
This is not something that only Chen Zongwen could see.
But only he said it.
"Who cares about all that?" Huo Yue waved his hand. "Brother Chen, brilliant!"
Chen Zongwen smiled and clinked glasses with him.

As night fell.
The emperor left the imperial study and was about to go back to rest when a eunuch suddenly came to report that Consort Jing had arrived.
Recently, the Emperor has been quite impressed with Consort Jing.
The young girl in the palace was brought in by Consort Jing.
"Let her in."
Consort Jing approached gracefully. Seeing the emperor's furrowed brow, she stepped forward and began to massage him.
She stood behind the emperor, focused solely on massaging him, without uttering a single word.
It seems she came here for no particular reason other than to see the Emperor.
