Forensic Imperial Concubine

"Prince Francis is smart and virtuous, so he is qualified for the position of the crown prince."

"But Prince Francis has been weak all year round. He has to spend more than half a year on the bed every year. With such poor health, how could he perform the duties as a crown prince well? I don't think he is a good choice." Someone immediately objected to the proposal. After all, Francis had been weak for so many years and was often seriously ill. If he was to be chosen as the crown prince, it wouldn't be good for the Bright Dynasty to have a crown prince who might succumb to his illness at any time.

"Prince Lucas is smart and in good health. Although he is such a ladies' man."

"He enjoys all forms of gambling and likes to go whoring. Aren't you afraid that he might lose the entire Bright Dynasty on the gambling table?" Someone furiously expressed his disapproval. Lucas' dishonorable deeds were too numerous to be listed down. When he was only thirteen years old, the emperor gave him a beauty, but he immediately lost her in a gambling game. When he was fourteen years old, the emperor gave him a mansion as his residence, but he lost the deed of its title in another gambling game even though he had only been living in it for a couple of days. Fortunately, Matthew had brought the title deed back to him. When he was fifteen years old, the emperor ordered him to work at the Ministry of Revenue. Later on, he ended up owing a huge sum of money from gambling and told his creditors to collect the money from the Ministry of Revenue with evidence of debt, including the debt he owed for going whoring and throwing banquets with his whores.

"Well... But except those mentioned bad habits, Prince Lucas doesn't really have any other one."

"Don't you think he already has too many bad habits?" a courtier blurted out, flying into a fit of rage. "How can such a wicked prince like him handle the great responsibility? No, I absolutely disagree. He is even worse than Prince Francis. Prince Francis' health has been seeing some improvement. Who knows? Maybe he would even recover completely very soon."

"Prince Francis has been ill for fifteen years. He should have recovered a long time ago if he could. Considering the fact that he still hasn't recovered yet, it's safe to say that he is never going to recover completely."

now, can't he? Why would you think that he can't recover? He's a much better option than Prince Lucas, who goes whoring every day, without even attending to his proper duties. How could such a man as Prince Lucas
