Within the grand Imperial Palace,
The news of the Fourth Prince's sudden conferment as a King spread like wildfire!
In the blink of an eye,
It reached every corner of the court and the people!
For a time,
All the royal family members and civil and military officials who heard this news were shocked!
The Eastern Palace!
Upon receiving this news,
Crown Prince Li Cheng Qian's face instantly turned dark!
Even the faceless lady he was painting was torn off and crumpled into a ball, thrown violently to the ground!
“Good, good, good!”
“The Second Brother was already enough of a headache!”
“Now…the Fourth Brother, is he going to step in as well?!”
Li Cheng Qian's eyes were burning with suppressed fury,
He never imagined,
that Li Cheng Lin would be granted the title of King!
When Li Cheng Lin was merely a prince, no matter what he did, the Crown Prince could ignore him, not care, and just smile…
But after being conferred as King,
It was completely different!
“Prince”, is a noble title!
“King”, is a genuine rank!
This rank,
is a rank of promotion!
And what lies above “King”?
The position of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace!
Therefore,
The Fourth Prince, having been conferred as “King”, now had the legitimate right to compete with him for the position of Crown Prince!
Now,
Just the Second Prince alone was enough to make him anxious,
Unexpectedly,
Now the Fourth Prince had suddenly joined the fray!
How could the Crown Prince not be enraged!
“No wonder the Fourth Brother, who was idle in the past, has been acting like a different person recently, so active!”
“First, he ingratiated himself with Guo Bao Kun, the son of the Minister of Rites!”
“Then at the poetry gathering, he publicly declared his love for Fan Ruoruo…”
“I’m afraid, his infatuation is fake!”
“His true purpose, is to use this opportunity to get close to Fan Jian and Fan Xian!”
“Cultivating his own power!”
“Fourth Brother, you hide your cards well!”
Recalling these events of the past few days,
The Crown Prince gritted his teeth, suspicion flashing in his eyes.
On the desk beside him.
A woman dressed in black, with her hair in a cloud bun, holding a scroll of green paper, looked at the Crown Prince deeply.
“Among Your Majesty’s sons, you and Your Majesty, are truly the most alike.”
Princess Li Yun Rui said sarcastically,
“Both of you are so suspicious!”
“Aunt, can you blame me for being suspicious, the facts are plain as day…”
“Facts?”
Li Yun Rui shook her head,
Her gaze returned to the scroll of green paper in her hand,
She read word by word,
“Your name, is the most beautiful love letter I have ever seen!”
“I love you, forever and a day, until death do us part!”
“If loving you is wrong, then I don't want to be right!”
“If being right means not having you, then I would rather be wrong for a lifetime!”
“Did you hear that?”
“These, are all written by the Fourth Brother!”
Li Yun Rui's face was full of intoxication,
She muttered to herself,
“If he wasn't a person deeply in love…”
“How could he write such intoxicating words?”
“Yet you, are actually doubting the Fourth Brother’s motives for liking the Fan family girl?”
She was also a person deeply in love,
So she could naturally feel the tender affection in these love words.
Therefore,
Li Yun Rui not only disagreed with the Crown Prince's view,
But she was also quite disgusted by his suspicion.
“Aunt, are you saying…”
“The Fourth Brother was pushed into this position by His Majesty?”
The Crown Prince was speechless,
“But, no matter how he got this position, we can't just sit back and do nothing!”
“What are you panicking about?”
Li Yun Rui put down the scroll and said calmly,
“The Fourth Brother’s foundation is too shallow, he won’t be able to make any real progress in the short term!”
“Moreover…”
“People like him, who are deeply in love, are rare in this world!”
“And I, hate people who are deeply in love!”
Speaking of this,
A crazed smile suddenly spread across Li Yun Rui’s face.
“What’s so good about being deeply in love!”
“Being covered in wounds is being deeply in love!”
“Humbling yourself is being deeply in love!”
“I loved him my whole life, because of my love, I did so much for him, things that he wanted to do but couldn't!”
“I bore the shame, my hands stained with blood!”
“But in the end, what did he give me?!”
“He even wanted to cruelly take away the only treasury I have left!”
“So…”
“People who are deeply in love, in the end, will be hurt the most!”
“People who are deeply in love, are pathetic, very pathetic, extremely pathetic!”
“The Fourth Brother, who is deeply in love, deserves to die!”
“I will have him die, to help him escape sooner, to prevent him from enduring the pain of love like I did!”
“The Fourth Brother, in my eyes, is more deserving of death than Fan Xian!”
“People who are deeply in love, all deserve to die!!”
“Even if he wasn’t made King, just because of his love, he deserves to die!!”
“Hahahahahaha!”
“Die!!!!!!”
“You all deserve to die!!!”
“…”
Li Yun Rui acted like she was insane,
She tore the scroll of green paper in her hand to shreds,
Then she laughed loudly through tears.
This scene,
Scared the Crown Prince beside her, making him break out in cold sweat and gasp.
Not only was he terrified by the Princess’s current madness,
But he was even more terrified by her words,
He was scared!
Aunt’s meaning…
Is, she’s going to directly kill the Fourth Brother?!
Crazy!
Killing a prince,
Aunt, has gone crazy!!!
…………………………………
In the Duan王府.
Second Prince Li Cheng Ze, furrowed his brows.
After a moment,
He shook his head self-deprecatingly.
“Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, you still couldn’t escape His Majesty’s schemes!”
“King?”
“Heh, you’re just like me, just another sharpening stone for the Crown Prince!”
“…”
Regarding Li Cheng Lin’s sudden conferment as a King,
The Second Prince knew it all too well!
He had been conferred as King at the age of thirteen,
Granted a王府 at fourteen,
Started attending court at fifteen…
All of this,
Wasn’t it all arranged by His Majesty?
I had no ambition to compete for the throne,
But being elevated to such a position,
How could you say you weren’t competing, who would believe you?
Would the Crown Prince believe it?
He’s just as suspicious as His Majesty!
If you don’t compete, you’ll only be waiting to die!
For the sake of survival,
The Second Prince could only desperately fight, desperately fight!
And now,
The Fourth Brother had been dragged in!
The Fourth Brother said he wouldn’t compete,
I believe him,
But the Crown Prince won’t!
In the end,
The Fourth Brother will just have to walk the same path, the same path as me!
“Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, your Second Brother feels sorry for you!”
“But, little brother, there’s nothing we can do!”
“This, is our fate!”
……………………………………
“Now you know why my face is so dark!”
Li Cheng Lin complained angrily,
He was venting to the audience in the livestream,
“I’ve seen fathers who cheat their sons!”
“But I’ve never seen one who cheats his son so badly!”
“I’m just having a nice time with the girls of my heart, kissing and hugging, how nice and carefree is that?!”
“Can’t I just be a carefree second-generation emperor?!”
“He suddenly gave me the title of King!”
“Although it sounds awesome!”
“But it’s a lot of trouble!”
“What will the Crown Prince and the Second Brother think of me?”
“Won’t they come after me?!”
“…”
Li Cheng Lin wasn’t actually afraid of the Crown Prince or the Second Brother coming after him,
He had nothing to fear,
If it really came down to it,
He would just break off all pretense and fight!
Not to mention Li Cheng Lin’s martial arts cultivation was rising like a rocket,
Breaking through to Grandmaster,
Was just a matter of time,
The key was,
He could fly!
A Grandmaster, unless he suddenly ambushed him, otherwise, once Li Cheng Lin reacted, he wouldn’t be able to kill him!
He would just fly into the sky,
Even the four Grandmasters combined, could only stare!
Therefore,
Li Cheng Lin wasn’t afraid at all,
He wasn’t afraid of anyone!
The main thing was,
He was annoyed!
Emperor Qing was making trouble for him for no reason!
Previously, he was so comfortable, no matter if he met the Crown Prince or the Second Brother, they were all brothers, friendly and respectful…
But being conferred as King was different,
It became hypocritical social interaction,
Friendly and respectful,
Would inevitably turn into brothers fighting!
This was what Li Cheng Lin was annoyed about!
He wasn’t afraid of others coming after him,
But he was annoyed that trouble always found him,
Annoying, right?
He was just enjoying a peaceful life,
But there were always flies buzzing around him, both openly and secretly!
He just wanted to date girls, be a carefree second-generation emperor, why was it so hard?!
After hearing Li Cheng Lin’s complaints,
In the livestream,
The audience instantly understood,
Finally, they knew,
Why Li Cheng Lin, was suddenly frowning!
