Chapter 525 - 504 Second Update
The ministers also stood up one after another. Prime Minister Lin’s words were like a wake-up call to a dreamer. Everyone seemed to share the Crown Prince’s sense of injustice, displaying emotional countenances. The sacrifices the Crown Prince had made for Nanzheng State were indeed too great.
"However, Your Highness, the ancestral instructions of our Nanzheng..." Finally, a minister remembered these ancestral instructions. Before he could finish speaking, someone directly interrupted him.
"At this point in time, what is more important, the ancestral instructions or the future of our Nanzheng State?"
Qi Ling immediately straightened his spine again; things were progressing more smoothly than they had anticipated. Prime Minister Lin nodded as well, his mind full of sympathy for the Crown Prince. Now, this was the safest course of action. As for the future, they would discuss it after the Crown Prince ascended the throne. Once the position of the Empress was secured, they could make it up to the Crown Prince with other consorts in the Harem.
Zheng Congyuan was unaware of the thoughts of Prime Minister Lin and others. He relaxed slightly and quickly looked at everyone, knowing the following actions needed to be expedited.
Of course, his plans extended far beyond this. The forces from the Wen Family at the Eastern Border and Southeast Border were now like paper tigers, completely within his grasp. The only unpredictable element was the strength of the Northern Border controlled by the Marquis of Zhenbei. However, with Ju Nanyi and the forces from the Northwest Border in play, Zheng Congyuan was also very confident.

"Commandery Princess, Commandery Princess, something terrible has happened—" Xing Yu hastily rushed in. Zheng Nianru, who had been locked up here for a full day, might not have been as comfortable as in her own courtyard, but how could she treat herself poorly? Fortunately, Nanny Yun and a group of maids had been cooing over her, making sure she ate and slept.
Nian Xia struck Xing Yu on the shoulder with a fan, gesturing for her to quiet down. The Commandery Princess was still asleep. What could be more important than the Commandery Princess’s sleep? Especially since she hadn’t slept well the night prior.
