The Inheritance Jade Ring?
The second prince’s stomach lurched.
If he could have it, the chance of him inheriting the throne would be…
At that thought, the second prince immediately bowed and said, “Yes, father.”
Emperor Wu glanced at “Jun Linyuan.” “Although you’re the crown prince, don’t think that you’re bound to become the next emperor!”
Jun Linyuan didn’t say anything.
But Feng Wu frowned.
Jun Linyuan was quite willful, but that didn’t mean that Emperor Wu couldn’t do anything about it.
Emperor Wu had been indulging Jun Linyuan because he felt sorry for Jun Linyuan’s late mother and for not being around when Jun Linyuan was little.
Had it not been for that, no matter how talented Jun Linyuan was, Emperor Wu would never allow Jun Linyuan to challenge his authority.
Jun Linyuan wouldn’t be able to behave in such a reckless way.
“The throne is mine right now. It’ll be yours only if I give it to you. Don’t blame me if I give it to someone else.” Emperor Wu gave “Jun Linyuan” one last look before he turned around and left.
Seeing this, the second prince couldn’t hide his excitement.
After Emperor Wu left, he stared at “Jun Linyuan” and smiled. “My dear brother, the throne will only be yours if our father gives it to you.”
He left after that.
Once they were gone, Feng Wu asked unhappily, “What did Emperor Wu mean? Was he not going to let you inherit the throne?”
This whole time, Jun Linyuan had been sitting cross-legged on the ground and repairing Feng Wu’s body.
“The damage is too severe.” Jun Linyuan didn’t answer her question.
Feng Wu sat down in front of him and looked distressed. “Forget about cultivating already! You may not be the crown prince anymore!”
Other people would have been so worried.
But Jun Linyuan…
He didn’t even open his eyes.
Not only that, he was also breathing normally, and only nodded indifferently.
Feng Wu was anxious. “Didn’t you hear that? Your father is encouraging your brother to compete with you!”
Although the second prince had asked to be part of the investigation, if Emperor Wu hadn’t given his tacit agreement, the second prince wouldn’t have shown up at that moment!
“Him?” Jun Linyuan only smiled indifferently.
Feng Wu clenched her fists and said, “I know you don’t like the second prince and feel that he’s not good enough to be your rival, but Jun Linyuan, you’re too proud!”
Jun Linyuan went on cultivating as if he didn’t hear her.
Feng Wu said grumpily, “If you’re Emperor Wu’s only child, no matter how willful you are, you’ll still be his only choice.
“But that’s not the case. You still have other brothers!” Feng Wu stared at him. “Yes, they’re not as talented or smart as you are, but they’ll follow your father’s orders.
“If you’re an emperor, which son will you choose? An obedient but mediocre one, or a talented but arrogant one?”
“The latter,” Jun Linyuan said without hesitation.
That almost rendered Feng Wu speechless. She took a deep breath and said, “That’s because you’re a wise ruler. What about your father? He’s not as subjective as you are. He likes whoever makes him happy.”
