A cold smile flashed across the Eldest Prince's eyes. He had no feelings for his younger sister, who had always been fighting with him for the throne.
The Eldest Prince could not help but be worried when the Second Princess had cozied up to the Advisor. In recent years, the Eternal Emperor's health had been deteriorating, and the fight for the throne had become increasingly intense.
Although the Eldest Prince knew that the Temple of Shadows had chosen him, he could not help but worry when the Temple of Shadows had not taken any action. Thus, he had invited the Temple of Shadows messengers just in case.
At that thought, the Eldest Prince's gaze involuntarily fell on Ling Yan, who had not spoken all this while.
Compared to the Second Princess, he was actually more worried about his Third Royal Brother.
Everyone knew about Ling Yan's intelligence, but Ling Yan did not seem to have joined forces with other forces. Thus, the Eldest Prince had not taken him too seriously and had only schemed to get rid of him.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yan remained unscathed after all these schemes. This made the Eldest Prince even more wary of Ling Yan's intelligence.
However …
Now that the Temple of Shadows messengers had arrived, he felt more confident about the fight for the throne.
Although Ling Yan was exceptionally talented, it was still extremely difficult for him to go against the Temple of Shadows and the Sacred Ground of Reflection.
The banquet appeared peaceful on the surface, but in the dark, turbulent waves were surging.
The Eternal Emperor looked at the three messengers from the Temple of Shadows. He had seen Lady Ghost before, but he did not recognize the other two. "There have been some matters in the dynasty over the past few days, and I hope that the messengers from the Temple will not take offense."
Lady Ghost smiled and said, "Before we came, the Eldest Prince already told us that the Fourth Prince has just passed away. I believe that the Emperor must be grieving."
At the mention of the Fourth Prince, the Eternal Emperor could not help but sigh softly. "I am already old, and it is time to consider the matter of appointing a successor. Miao 'er was young, but he unfortunately passed away. It is truly heartbreaking."
The Eternal Emperor's casual words caused all the princes, princesses, and officials present to perk up their ears.
"Although Miao 'er has passed away, the Eternal Dynasty still needs a new Crown Prince to stabilize the hearts of the people. I don't have many children, but they are all seated in the hall now." As the Eternal Emperor spoke, his gaze swept across his children, and his eyes were filled with love.
The Eternal Emperor's words seemed to be hinting at something.
At this moment, the Eldest Prince and Eldest Princess were the most nervous. Today's banquet was for the honored guests of the Temple of Shadows, but the Eternal Emperor had suddenly mentioned the appointment of the heir apparent. Was he hinting at something?
Whether it was the right time, the right place, or the right people, the First Imperial Prince felt that he had a high chance of winning.
At that moment, a look of anticipation surfaced in his eyes.
On the other hand, the Second Princess did not look too well. She had naturally thought of what the Eldest Prince had thought of. She could not hide the uneasiness in her heart as she looked out of the hall. However, a hint of joy suddenly surfaced in her eyes.
"Your Majesty is worrying. Your Majesty is still in the prime of your life. There is no need to be so hasty about appointing the heir apparent." A leisurely voice suddenly rang out from the door of the hall.
Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw a white-haired, white-bearded old man in a white robe slowly walking out of the hall.
The old man had an otherworldly aura, and he had the demeanor of an immortal.
