Chapter 658 - 657: The Elder’s Message
After Mr. Liu left, Leah Erickson also arrived, delivering the black robe she had made overnight directly into Yusuf Zuck’s hands.
"Leah, have a seat." Yusuf Zuck and Leah Erickson had some familiarity with each other. Leah Erickson, although not much of a talker and usually cold to everyone, was quite courteous to him.
"What’s the situation in the capital now?" As soon as Leah Erickson sat down, Yusuf Zuck immediately inquired about the current state of affairs.
Leah Erickson thought for a moment and said, "The Emperor still clings to a breath of life, all the Princes from outside the capital have been ordered to return, but they are commanded not to leave the city and to be ready for summoning at any time. The Crown Prince is also preparing for his ascension, and the old courtiers have decided to support the ascension of the young Crown Prince."
"How old is the Crown Prince?" Yusuf Zuck asked.
"Twelve years old."
"Only twelve, then what about the Crown Prince’s mother?"
"Empress Zhao is still here; the Empress comes from a meritorious clan of the Empire, with her father and brother—one in government and the other in the military—both holding significant power!"
"Doesn’t that mean that our Prince doesn’t stand a chance?" Yusuf Zuck frowned.
"Not necessarily," Leah said, "actually, those who can influence the change of dynasties are the honored elders within the palace, which are the Lopez Family’s honored elders. However, after the Prince sent a letter to one of the elders, there’s been no reply, and we are also waiting for news!"
