Chapter 318: Persuasion!

"Big uncle, do you really believe that the First Prince will become the future emperor?" Wang Chong suddenly asked.

Upon hearing those words, shock immediately surfaced on Wang Gen's face.

Wang Gen had always spoken to Wang Chong with an intimate voice. However, after hearing Wang Chong's words, his face immediately grew stern.

Even though His Majesty has yet to confer him as the crown prince yet, the role that he assumes is no different from one. There is very little doubt regarding his position.

"Everyone, be it those in the royal court or those beyond it, shares the same view as me."

Wang Gen shook his head.
