The Crown Prince is different from Prince Fu. No matter how things unfold in the future, Prince Fu is currently just pressure placed by the emperor on the Crown Prince and simply the emperor's son.

But the Crown Prince is different. Up until now, the emperor still wants to leave the realm to the Crown Prince.
