In Prime Minister He's residence, Grandmaster Liu, Song Dekang, Chu Ying, and others were drinking tea and chatting with Prime Minister He. The topic of their conversation was naturally the emperor's sudden marriage edict from the morning court.
This marriage edict not only caught Kong Taichang off guard but also left Prime Minister He and the others bewildered.
Song Dekang, a straightforward man, drank tea as if chewing on peonies. After gulping down the tea, he placed the teacup on the table with such force that it made a "thud" sound.
"What do you think the emperor is thinking? Why would he suddenly betroth Old Kong's youngest daughter to Prince Dai?"
Shen Hu furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Could it be that the emperor truly intends to depose the Crown Prince and establish Prince Dai as the heir?"
