I declared....

Everyone was watching on dazed. She was slapping so mercifully without stopping even first prince and prime minister forgot stop when first prince gets up from his place his mother face was swollen like an elephant leg with red palm print.

"You, how dare you to slap my mother I will make sure you will pay price today"

He strides toward her only to get stop by Royal guards.

"Dare to stop me, did you forgot who I am. I am going to kill you all and your family let me go and kill her."

Guards were not fool enough not only princess was Royal blood she was sitting in heir position only fool will be not enough to understand king has already chosen her as next heir not only that if King didn't stop her slapping Consort Rong then, they should protect her than listen his order.

Not giving attention to shrill voice of first prince. King turn his gaze toward advisor Ling, understanding king look. He stood up from his sit.

"Consort Rong has shown her disrespect to late Empress, Royal ancestor and call Royal princess direct name and accusing…. this all act has only one word and that is treason. Your highness please do justice."

Advisor Ling was so affected by earlier scene he even dramatically bows down in front of majesty.

Frist Princess was so furious listening all the word he immediately fire back Advisor Ling.

"Advisor don't talk bullshit how it is treason; she is Royal Consort of course she has right to call her name. And beside when she is the mother of Crown Prince of course her rank is higher than Empress."

Before the mess spread anymore Emperor stand his feet and make the declaration.

"I, The Emperor of Yang Dynasty hereby announce that my first child the descendant of late Empress, only the Royal blood present princess MeiFeng to be the crown princess."

The whole court went silent before turning into fish market. Everyone thought that although Royal Princess is present today. With the influence of Prime Minister, it was indeed the first prince who is going to crowned today.

When first prince sees his father making declaration first, he was sure after he finally become crown prince then the accusing of treason will vanish but before he can react everything has turn upside down.

With such declaration the beaten consort was long forgotten. Even the herself had forgot the pain she was feeling a second ago.

First person to react was Minister Rong he was quite shocked with the Emperor words but he was somehow expecting this since the entry of Royal Princess. But he still has time of preparation, it was only a verbal presentation today but the true ceremony will be held after a week and this week he can fork the decision in his favor. But he didn't expect that in a week there will not be him for it.

He was sure with his trick he can turn the decision but before he can proceed any further his grandson has started another chaos.
