Fan Datong, upon thinking of this, wrote a letter and had it sent to Danren Cliff.
Xi Xiaomeng received Fan Datong's secret letter and, seeing it mentioned the Ninth Prince, frowned.
Supporting the Ninth Prince's ascension is somewhat challenging, but indeed he is the only suitable candidate. Although the Eighth Prince Luo Yinian in the palace holds no power or influence, making his support relatively easier, Luo Yinian's birth mother is Xiang Pin.
There are heard rumors that Xiang Pin once heeded both Consort De and Consort Xian, and even had a discord with Noble Consort Bing. If one chooses the Eighth Prince Luo Yinian, there might be many troubles in the future.
Thus, the Ninth Prince became the sole choice.
Xi Xiaomeng thought of the Ninth Prince's circumstance and couldn't help but smile wryly. The Ninth Prince's name was not bestowed by Emperor Xuan, but by the Grand Empress Dowager, indicating the Ninth Prince wasn't favored by Emperor Xuan.
