Prince Li read those pages of the letter again. He did not actually favor his eldest son.
His most outstanding son was his third son, Huangfu Jinglun, and he intended to give the title of the Princely Heir to Jinglun, which is why he had delayed making an appointment.
For the Emperor's grand birthday, all the imperial grandsons were originally summoned to the Capital City, but his eldest son Huangfu Jingwei was not included because he had returned a few months earlier to attend to some affairs before the celebration.
However, on his way back, Huangfu Jinglun encountered an accident.
The Emperor had said that if Jinglun had been around, he would surely have made him the new Crown Prince.
But by that time, Jinglun was no longer there, and the Emperor gave the position of Crown Prince to Prince Zhuang.
It is very likely that Jinglun was killed by Jingwei.
