The Emperor over there opened his eyes, his voice weak and hoarse: "Jin Tianzhong, state your purpose, surely you are not here just to spite the Empress Dowager!"
"Yes, let's get to the main point!" Jin Tianzhong stepped forward a few paces, smiling faintly: "Your Majesty is already gravely ill and unable to manage state affairs. I boldly request that Your Majesty appoint a Crown Prince to manage the state and ease your worries. In this way, Your Majesty can recuperate peacefully in 'Renshou Palace'."
"Oh? In your opinion, who should be made Crown Prince?"
Jin Tianzhong's heart surged with joy, hurriedly replying: "King Jin, being the legitimate son of the late Empress, is virtuous and talented. I boldly request Your Majesty to establish His Highness King Jin as Crown Prince."
"Ha..." The Emperor let out a cold laugh: "His mother was demoted to a concubine, he is now a concubine's son!"
