Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Tianxin, stepped forward. He was from the maternal family of the Second Prince, the biological father of Consort Liang. The Eldest Prince's loss of sight after falling into the water was naturally advantageous to the Xu Family.
The Emperor won't last long. If the Eldest Prince cannot recover, then the Second Prince is the most hopeful candidate. As a member of the Second Prince's maternal family, Xu Tianxin naturally needed to strive for the Second Prince's future.
"Your Majesty, this humble minister believes Mr. Xu's words are reasonable. We don't know when the Eldest Prince will recover, and our Dayan cannot be without a Crown Prince. I urge Your Majesty to give it thorough consideration and prioritize the greater good."
