"The Empress is devastated by the death of the Crown Prince, and I too am deeply distressed. From yesterday to today, I have had all the ministers accompany me in a tireless investigation to ascertain the cause of the Crown Prince's death, leaving everyone physically and mentally exhausted. Now, the matter of the Crown Prince's death will be handled by the Imperial Censorate."
All the royal family members and high officials knelt on the ground, saying, "Please, Your Majesty, take care of your health."
Xiao Zhanping nodded and then commanded sternly, "The funeral of the Crown Prince shall be managed by the Minister of Rites and be conducted with the grand rites of Daxuan. The Crown Prince had no children, let Chen Wang and Prince Xiao Jinyu guard the spirit of the Crown Prince, and let the whole nation mourn!"
"This son obeys the decree."
"Your servant obeys the decree."
After issuing the commands, Xiao Zhanping stood up from the Dragon Throne.
