"What brings you here, my lords?"
"Lord Marquis, the Emperor plans to appoint a Crown Prince. What's your opinion?" Assistant Minister Lan was the first to speak.
Ye Zi'an glanced at him, "If the Emperor wants to appoint a Crown Prince, then let him appoint one!"
"Uh!" Assistant Minister Lan was momentarily stunned.
Another lord bluntly asked, "Lord Marquis, Assistant Minister Lan means to inquire which prince you think the Emperor will appoint as Crown Prince?"
"How could this Lord possibly know?" Ye Zi'an shook his head, "Moreover, the matter of appointing an heir concerns the very foundation of Great Zhou. It is not something I can perceive. And how could I casually speculate on the Emperor's intentions? This matter still depends on the Emperor's will."
As he spoke, he patted Assistant Minister Lan on the shoulder, "I have other matters to attend to, I'll be leaving first. You all continue chatting."
