"Father Emperor," Prince Ying bowed with a fist, his eyes carefully observing the Emperor's emotional fluctuations, "Father Emperor, you are already beyond the age of sixty, if you were to depose the Crown Prince at this time, I'm afraid that throughout the court, from top to bottom, and even throughout the nation and beyond..."
He cautiously added, "I fear it would cause a huge uproar... For the sake of the nation's welfare, your son kneels and begs you to think thrice."
The Emperor, upon hearing this, became even more furious and scolded, "I have borne so many sons, the position of the Crown Prince is for whom I decree to sit—whoever I choose can sit! We are not lacking him!"
Trembling with rage, he pointed at Prince Ying and ordered, "You go investigate! Investigate thoroughly for me, and if that unfilial son truly harbors treasonous intentions, I will depose him! I shall make you the Crown Prince!"
