Yueyao's face was very grave.
Xiang Wei saw Yueyao's expression and laughed: "What are you worried about? An Zhichen is not here, and you keep to yourself. Even if the sky falls, it won't affect us. We'll just watch the spectacle."
Yueyao was worried about more than the current situation: "With the Fourth Prince gone, now among the legitimate children, only the Ninth Prince remains. Tingzheng is with the Ninth Prince, and the future is still uncertain."
Xiang Wei just laughed: "As you say, the Fourth Prince being assassinated might actually be a good thing. With the Fourth Prince gone, the Ninth Prince, being the legitimate child, has access to great legitimacy." In the Great Yuan Dynasty, a legitimate heir is chosen if available, otherwise the eldest. With the Ninth Prince as the only legitimate child left, he is sure to gain the support of many old conservatives.
