Chapter 58 The Crown Prince's Secret Scheme
Chapter 58 The Crown Prince's Secret Scheme
"News has come from the palace that His Majesty summoned the three princes late at night and opened the royal secret realm!"
"What?!"
Lin Ruofu suddenly stood up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"The Royal Secret Realm? That secret realm known only to emperors throughout history?"
"Exactly!"
The confidant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Moreover... according to our spies, the three princes stayed inside for a full two hours before coming out."
"Upon emerging, His Majesty was greatly pleased, seemingly... seemingly extremely satisfied with Prince Xiaoyao!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruofu's heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of unease welled up inside him.
"Prepare the car! We're going to the East Palace!"
Lin Ruofu made a decisive decision.
At this point, only by going to Lu Heng can we find out what exactly happened in the secret realm.
……
Half an hour later, in the secret chamber of the Eastern Palace.
Looking at Lu Heng, who looked like a stray dog, Lin Ruofu frowned, a hint of undisguised disgust flashing in his eyes.
Then a wave of regret washed over me.
It's a pity that my own son, who was so outstanding, died tragically in the Demon Hunting Forest. Why is this good-for-nothing able to come out alive?
"Your Highness, what exactly happened?"
What secrets lie within that hidden realm?
Upon hearing this, Lu Heng raised his head, looking blankly at Lin Ruofu, even though he felt extremely resistant to this uncle.
But at this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else, and recounted his experiences in the secret realm in a hoarse voice.
From the initial illusionary trials, to the so-called false inheritance, and finally to the true inheritance that Lu Xuan obtained...
After hearing all this, Lin Ruofu was stunned, and then stood there blankly for a long time without coming back to his senses.
"You mean... Lu Xuan obtained the true inheritance of the Dharma Aspect Realm?"
"And you... are just pieces of trash who have overdrawn your life's potential?"
Lu Heng forced a bitter smile and slowly nodded.
There was an indescribable desolation in his voice.
"Rubbish……"
"That's right, in Father's eyes, he's utter trash."
"How laughable that I still regard it as a treasure! How utterly foolish!"
"That good-for-nothing..."
"How did they manage to pass such a high-level test?"
"You must know, that was a test personally left behind by a powerful being at the Dharma Aspect Realm!"
Lu Heng grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, almost to the point of madness.
Lin Ruofu's heart was filled with turmoil.
Although he had never set foot in that secret realm, as a Heavenly Origin Realm expert, he understood better than anyone what the words "Dharma Aspect Realm" truly meant.
That is the true pinnacle of the entire Eastern Wilderness!
Ke Luxuan?
What exactly makes him so special?!
After all, before this, most people's impression of Lu Xuan was that of a useless prince who did nothing but eat and wait to die.
Although he didn't want to believe it, Lin Ruofu took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his emotions.
In just one day, he experienced too much, from the death of his son to learning that Lu Xuan had obtained the inheritance. He was really struggling to recover.
"Your Highness, now is not the time to give up on yourself."
"Lu Xuan has received the inheritance, and His Majesty will surely make him the crown prince."
"Once he takes power, neither you nor my Lin family will have a way out!"
"so……"
A hint of madness flashed in Lin Ruofu's eyes.
"We must strike first!"
"Before the decree is issued, before he truly seizes power..."
"Kill him!"
Upon hearing those three words, a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in Lu Heng's previously gloomy eyes.
Yes!
As long as Lu Xuan is dead, there is still a chance for everything to turn around!
What about true inheritance?
What about the Dharma Realm Technique?
A dead genius is nothing.
Once Lu Xuan dies, the Emperor will only have him and his sixth son left.
Could that treacherous Lao Liu be a match for me?
When the time comes, won't the position of crown prince be rightfully his?
Thinking of this, Lu Heng suddenly grabbed Lin Ruofu's sleeve, as if he had grasped the last straw.
"Uncle! You're right!"
"He must be killed! He can't be allowed to live to see tomorrow's sun!"
A mad light flashed in Lu Heng's eyes, but it quickly dimmed again.
"But... I have no one left to command!"
"What am I going to use to kill him?"
He looked up at Lin Ruofu, his eyes full of pleading.
"Uncle, please help me! You must help me!"
"As long as you help me eliminate Lu Xuan and ascend the throne, I swear that I will rule this Great Yan empire together with the Lin family!"
"Although my cousin Tianjie is no longer here, I am still your nephew!"
"Now, you can only count on me!"
Lu Heng spoke with sincerity, but in his heart he was making his own little plans.
In his view, with Lin Tianjie's death, the younger generation of the Lin family has been cut off.
If Lin Ruofu wanted to preserve the Lin family's wealth and status, he had no choice but to support the crown prince, who had half of the Lin family's blood, to ascend to the throne.
That's his confidence!
However, Lin Ruofu looked at the groveling, self-righteous fool in front of him and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Hoping you'll be the one to rely on?"
Lin Ruofu sneered inwardly.
"idiot."
"Do you really think I only have Tianjie as my son?"
"Even if he's the only child, if he loses his son, he can always have another one."
"As long as I'm alive, as long as the Lin family exists, how many sons can't I have?"
"But the throne of the Great Yan Dynasty... can only be held by one person!"
A glint of ambition flashed in Lin Ruofu's eyes.
All he ever wanted was an obedient puppet.
A puppet that would allow the Lin family to legitimately seize the Great Yan Empire.
"Your Highness, rest assured."
Lin Ruofu concealed the coldness in his eyes and put on the face of a kind elder.
"I'm your uncle, of course I'll help you."
"That little beast Lu Xuan not only stole your opportunity, but also killed my son Tianjie."
"If I don't avenge this, I swear I'm not a man!"
At this point, Lin Ruofu stood up, exuding a terrifying killing intent.
"This time, I won't need anyone else."
"I will personally lead a group to the Prince of Xiaoyao's residence!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Heng was overjoyed.
"Is Uncle going to take action personally?"
That's a Heavenly Origin Realm expert!
In the Great Yan Dynasty, the Heavenly Origin Realm... is synonymous with invincibility.
As long as Lin Ruofu is willing to take action, even if Lu Xuan has three heads and six arms, he will surely die.
"Great, that's fantastic!"
Lu Heng was so excited that he danced with joy.
"With his uncle's help, Lu Xuan is nothing but a lamb to the slaughter!"
"Uncle, you must tear him to pieces and avenge me!"
Lin Ruofu nodded slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"That's natural."
"However, this matter should be addressed sooner rather than later."
"Before that little bastard can react... let's make our move."
"Tonight is his death day!"
After saying that, Lin Ruofu stopped talking and strode away.
Watching Lin Ruofu's departing figure, Lu Heng's smile gradually turned into a sinister one.
"Lu Xuan... my dear third brother..."
"Weren't you supposed to be a great fighter? Weren't you supposed to be arrogant?"
"I'd like to see if you can still be as arrogant as before in front of a Heavenly Origin Realm expert!"
"This time, even if Father Emperor comes, he can't save you!"
