A light "clang" echoed, and Prince Li was utterly shocked in his heart. Did Father Emperor ever consider passing the position of Crown Prince to him? This sudden revelation caused his chopsticks to hit the bowl, and he coughed lightly, showing a trace of sorrow: "Father Emperor, Jinglun had a short life..."
It was initially an emotional lapse, but it appeared as though hearing his beloved child's name reminded him that he was no longer alive, leading to the sorrow in his heart.
The Emperor gently patted the back of his hand in comfort and also sighed: "Unexpected events are unavoidable, so don't be too sad."
Prince Li sobbed quietly: "Father Emperor, your son knows! Your son was discourteous!"
