The old king's face changed, and his eyes were full of sorrow. He looked so helpless. Then, he shook his head and said to the old woman: "Stone City's city rules are like this, and the old king doesn't dare to change them without authorization. The city rules stipulate
, King Shicheng does not follow the hereditary system from eldest to youngest. If there are many princes and princesses, they must all be based on their abilities and those who are capable will take over."
I sighed and said: "Hongyi can't make a decision on the king's request. Again, I will follow the third prince wherever he goes. If you want me to accompany the other two princes, I will definitely do it."

Depressed, but he still gave me such a warm smile
