Chapter 207: Gossip
Inside the hotpot restaurant, thanks to General Shen Chi’s heroic performance, the atmosphere gradually livened up.
Then, the big screen continued broadcasting the real-time news: [Crown Prince Ji, the Galaxy Empire’s first in line to the throne, due to his health, has voluntarily renounced his imperial succession rights. Emperor Lante is deeply grieved, and both the Empire’s Congress and Senate have repeatedly tried to retain him. However, Crown Prince Ji’s mind is made up, and after much consideration, Emperor Lante has agreed to his request.]
Huh?
What’s this?
As this news was broadcast, the hotpot restaurant instantly buzzed, and everyone started talking.
"Crown Prince Ji is stepping down?"
"Doesn’t this feel like it’s full of conspiracies?"
"So sudden, if Crown Prince Ji gives up the succession rights, wouldn’t the throne fall to the second in line, Prince Qi?"
"That’s a bit tragic."
"Crown Prince Ji has been frail since childhood, it’s not surprising that he has health issues now."
...
Ji You, joining everyone in eating hotpot, couldn’t help but make a quip after seeing the news: "Poor Crown Prince, look, even a Crown Prince faces unemployment risks these days, we commoners really need to work harder."
