After the old minister finished his statement, the other ministers also immediately knelt down. One by one, they looked at King Jing Zhen. "Your Majesty, please, for the sake of the nation, for the future, please agree to our request!"
Jing Zhen's face fell. "My daughter is not dead yet!"
The old minister then exclaimed, "But it's been a day and a night, and the search team only found some tattered clothes and broken guns where they landed... Isn't this enough to prove it? There are many large beasts on Huyi Island, and we all know where the bodies have gone! Your Majesty, you must not deceive yourself!"
"Are you saying that if we can't find the Princess's body, Your Majesty will never appoint a crown prince? Then what about the future of the country?"
A country's heir was to be nurtured from an early age. After Shen Ruojing was established as the Crown Princess, she should have stayed in the palace to learn how to handle national affairs.
