Xiao Zhanping's move can be said to be brilliant!
After all, the Crown Prince's establishment is at his beck and call.
He says establish, it is established.
He says depose, it is deposed.
What's most important now is to stabilize Xiao Jinxing's heart, to make him utterly devoted and rid him of any traitorous thoughts.
Ye Qichi has figured this out.
Xiao Jinxing has naturally figured it out too.
But he can do it without any fanfare.
Xiao Zhanping, despite his physical weakness, picked up the brush and personally wrote the imperial edict for the establishment, firmly pressing the Jade Seal onto it.
He then destroyed the previous surrogate-written will to smithereens.
"Choose an auspicious day to establish the Crown Prince!" Xiao Zhanping ordered.
"Your Son is grateful for Your Majesty's grace." Xiao Jinxing kneeled on the ground.
Three kneels and nine kowtows, performing the grand ceremony.
