"It seems, my young friend, you really know nothing about the Imperial Clan."
The vendor shook his head, then whispered, "Who told you these princes are Empress Yunyao's offspring? Empress Yunyao is still single; where would offspring come from?"
"These princes are the sons of the Supreme Emperor. When Empress Yunyao ascended the throne, it's said she reached an agreement with the Supreme Emperor that the princes' statuses remain unchanged, allowing them to maintain their princely identities and wield power after her coronation."
"I see."
Ling Chen gradually showed a look of understanding in his eyes, indeed confirming the complicated relations within the royal family. It's likely Empress Yunyao had made considerable compromises with the royal direct line when she took the throne; otherwise, no matter how talented she was, she couldn't suppress those old relics of the direct line and become a supreme empress.
Bang!
