When Yu Chaoyang heard this, his eyes lit up and he poked Shangguan Zishu beside him.

The two exchanged glances.

Shangguan Zishu immediately stepped forward and knelt before the prince.

"Father, I will do my best to be the crown prince of the Rong Palace. I will be filial to my parents, respect my mother, brothers and sisters-in-law, and shoulder the responsibilities of the Rong Palace."

The determination was expressed very positively.

The prince looked coldly at the bastard kneeling in front of him.

His eldest son couldn't wake up, and he was sad for a long time. However, as a man and the head of the palace, he had his responsibilities and couldn't be immersed in sadness forever. He couldn't be careless about what he had to do.

Since the eldest son is unconscious, the position of crown prince will sooner or later fall to the second son.

However, he still couldn't help but look at the princess beside him.

I hope to see the princess nod.

But the princess did not express anything yet.

"Why is your Highness looking at her? You are the head of the family. Establishing a prince is a major event in the palace. What does a woman like her know?"

The Rong Palace is the glory earned by our ancestors, and we cannot let it be destroyed by a living dead who may die at any time."

The second old lady shouted angrily, her face distorted.

"Brother, you have to make a decision sooner rather than later on such an important matter. Ziqi is already in such a state, we can only count on Zishu. If you don't want to pass it on to Zishu, you can pass it on to my Zifeng. As long as you are willing."

The second master Shangguan Hongchen chimed in to persuade him, but what he said was just nonsense.

"Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense. He is just a reckless person." Second Madam Miao Luoying quickly explained.

"How can you talk like that? I'm your man, don't you have any dignity? Be careful or I'll beat you up." Shangguan Hongchen glared angrily at his wife next to him.

"Your Highness, the position of Crown Prince is indeed very important. Since the Crown Prince can no longer wake up, it is better to make plans early."

The speaker was Shangguan Hongxiang, the eldest son of the old prince's second brother.

"Yes, Your Highness. The Crown Prince is related to the century-old foundation of our Shangguan family. We can't delay it any longer." Shangguan Hongyun also advised.

He is Shangguan Hongxiang's younger brother.

These brothers all depended on the palace for their livelihood, and every month they received money from the public treasury to support their families. However, those in the next-door households received less, but the public treasury still had to pay for weddings and funerals.

"Princess, what do you think?" The prince saw that everyone was waiting for him to make a decision, but he still wanted to get his wife's opinion.

"The palace belongs to the prince, and my opinion is not important." Qin Yuyan said expressionlessly.

She can't stop it alone.

This is the general trend.

All of them are eyeing the position of the Crown Prince like wolves and tigers. It is not that they want to fight for the position, but they want to establish a good relationship with the Crown Prince in advance and gain more benefits for themselves.

The clan's business and land management are all managed by clan members. How much benefit they can get depends entirely on the attitude of the prince and the crown prince, so everyone wants to decide the position of the crown prince as soon as possible so that they can make plans.

"Doctor Gu, what is the possibility that the prince will wake up?" The prince wanted to confirm again.

"I have done my best. The prince has been in a coma for six months. The possibility of him waking up is very small.

However, there are always people better than you. Perhaps there are better doctors among the people, but I have not heard of them yet.

I will continue to treat the Crown Prince, and do my best and leave the rest to fate."

Doctor Gu didn't say anything definite, but it was as good as saying nothing.

Yu Yuanzheng watched everyone arguing about the position of the crown prince, and no one could wait for Shangguan Ziqi to die before making a decision.

How cold-hearted people are.

Shangguan Zishu, who was still kneeling on the ground, was waiting for his father to make a decision.

Yu Chaoyang was obviously excited.

She was waiting to become the Crown Prince's consort so that she could suppress her second sister, and she would glance at her from time to time.

Yu Yuanzheng was too lazy to look at her, but he could feel her gaze sweeping over him.

Yu Chaoyang was extremely excited at this moment.

Because in the previous life, the whole family sat down to discuss the ownership of the throne of the crown prince on this day, and the princess could not change the outcome at all.

She was the Crown Prince's Consort for only ten days, and then the palace began to prepare for the Second Young Master's marriage with great fanfare.

In this life, she took the initiative and the position of the Crown Prince's Consort was hers, and the position of the Princess would also be hers in the future.

"Your Highness, the imperial physician has done his best. There is no need to wait any longer. The sooner it is decided, the sooner it will be. The second young master is also your son. It is natural for him to receive the honor. Why are you still hesitating?" The second old lady wanted to finalize the matter today.

The prince glanced at the second old lady.

This is his aunt and stepmother. She took good care of him when he was a child, but she became more and more nosy as she got older.

Sometimes he doesn't distinguish between superiors and subordinates and even yells at the princess.

"Mother, what if the prince wakes up in the future?" Yu Yuanzheng gently pulled the princess' sleeve and asked quietly.

But her voice was heard by everyone when no one spoke.

"You have no right to speak here?" The second old lady suddenly got angry at her.

"Second Madam, I'm just saying just in case. No one can predict what will happen tomorrow."

Yu Yuanzheng would not be afraid to speak just because she scolded him.

"Second sister, stop talking. The adults will make the decision on this matter. How can you, a new bride, have a say?" Yu Chaoyang also criticized her.

The princess gently patted Yu Yuanzheng's hand and told her not to get involved.

This matter mainly depends on the prince.

"Okay, everyone, please go away. I still need to discuss this matter with the emperor." The prince was in a dilemma.

Since we were discussing this with the Emperor, everyone had to disperse.

When Yu Yuanzheng was about to leave, the prince asked her to stay.

"Princess, Ziqi's wife, please follow me to my study. I have something to tell you."

Yu Yuanzheng supported the princess and followed the prince to the front yard.

The prince's study was quite grand. Although there weren't many books inside, it was decorated with great style. Besides the books, there were also several weapons on the wall.

"Yuyan, I'm sorry, I'm incompetent. But don't worry, even if Ziqi loses his position as Crown Prince, I won't give up on him. I will continue to seek medical advice until the very end."

The prince said this very solemnly, with a sad look on his face.

"I know you are sad, but the palace cannot be without an heir. I hope you can think more positively." The prince said again.

"Your Majesty, I didn't think much of it, I just felt sorry for my son.

They were too cold-hearted to even wait for him to die.

When Ziqi was doing well, what was their attitude? Wasn't Ziqi good enough to them? But in return, they were treated so coldly.

As Qin Yuyan spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

The prince had nothing to say. This is human nature, interests come first.

They will be close to whoever can benefit them.

"Your Highness, Zheng'er is a good person. She is much better than Chaoyang. The daughter of the Earl's family is no more than this. It's just that this child has suffered."

"Yes. I know, that's why I have to tell her some things." The prince wiped the tears for the princess.

"Wife Ziqi, yesterday you said that when the prince wakes up, you will ask to leave the palace.

But now it seems that Ziqi can't wake up.

How much longer he can hold on, we can't be sure.

You will have to rely on yourself in the days ahead.

While the two of us are still alive, we can still take care of you a little, but sooner or later we will go ahead of you, and the rest of the way will depend on you.

It’s hard to say whether there will be room for you in this palace in the future.

I heard that your sister is not very nice to you, and your life will be even more difficult.

Therefore, I will give you ten men. You should make good use of them. They will protect you and Ziqi." The prince continued to speak to Yu Yuanzheng.

A daughter-in-law who marries into the palace will basically stay there for the rest of her life, unless the palace divorces her on its own initiative.

It is foreseeable what kind of life a widowed sister-in-law will have in the future.

"Thank you, Father. I will live my life well. I have one more request, and I hope Father and Mother can agree to it."

Yu Yuanzheng didn't expect that the prince also recognized her, which made many things easier for her.
