Chapter 1245 - 1244: The person that night must be Feng Yexuan

Chapter 1245: Chapter 1244: The person that night must be Feng Yexuan

Lan Ji didn’t want to analyze what’s possible and what’s not.

But as things stand, the future of His Majesty is unclear.

At least with Prince Yu, he truly has the ability to ensure that the kingdom of Nanming will not fall into others’ hands.

"If you are reluctant to make a choice, then just wait and see how things unfold."

This was the only advice Lan Ji offered to Chu Lingyang.

"The people need to be appeased, and tomorrow someone from the Imperial Family must attend the ceremony. If the Emperor isn’t being held hostage, then he’s truly gravely ill and definitely won’t be able to attend the ceremony tomorrow."

"What can they do by having you go now? It’s to have you and Prince Yu co-host the ceremony!"

"How could I?" He was just a mere prince; besides, after all these years of only fighting wars, how could he know how to manage such a ceremony?

"Whether you can is one thing, but the most important part is, by attending, you’re implying you have intentions to vie for the throne."

"I absolutely do not, I can swear to the heavens!" Chu Lingyang immediately raised his hand.

Lan Ji smiled faintly, walked over, and pulled his hand down.

"I know you don’t, but the common people don’t know, the officials don’t know, and perhaps even the Emperor himself doesn’t know."

"If Prince Jing seeks you out tonight, if you don’t want to preside over the ceremony, they’ll persuade you to help the Emperor."

"When the ruler orders his minister to die, the minister has no choice but to die. Assisting the Emperor is naturally expected!"

"But what if they want you to assist a false Emperor, just like today, fooling everyone with a fake Emperor?"

Chu Lingyang could not utter a single word.

A fake Emperor showed up today, and if it weren’t for Lan Fan pointing it out, I’m afraid everyone would really have been deceived.

Do they intend to repeat the same trick tomorrow?

This absolutely cannot happen!

"That night you mentioned Miss Chu was on the Dragon Bed, the more I thought about it, the more something seemed off."

Lan Ji tugged at his sleeve, pulling him down to sit on a chair, and softly said: "The Emperor has never favored any woman for many years; how could he so impetuously pin someone down on the Dragon Bed the moment he took a fancy to her?"

"Moreover, knowing full well so many people were waiting outside, the Emperor would not be so reckless..."

Seeing Chu Lingyang’s face turn a bit red, she laughed and said: "Tell me, even just hearing about it makes you blush, doesn’t it? The Emperor has always been composed, how could he publicly engage in such acts?"

Chu Lingyang thought for a moment, and suddenly, he had a flash of insight: "Are you implying... that person was also Lord Yexuan that night?"

"Didn’t you know? Miss Chu was once Princess Yexuan."

This was something Chu Lingyang really didn’t know; why would he actively investigate such private matters of others?

He had assumed that Little Lili belonged to Achu.

"Although the two had already divorced, who can guarantee that the young couple, full of passion, hasn’t reconciled in secret?"

In any case, the truth about that night had already been laid bare to Princess Ling.

She said helplessly: "Time and again, they’ve used a fake Emperor to deceive everyone; I’ve temporarily lost confidence in the Emperor ..."

She looked at her husband, her voice gentle yet firm: "The Emperor’s illness is serious, and he has no heir. Prince Beiming Yexuan has been involved too much in external affairs on the surface."

"The relationship at the Emperor’s side may not be that pure anymore, in contrast..."

She let out a soft sigh, her gaze still tender.

"In contrast, although somewhat cruel, he has an heir and is wholeheartedly devoted to protecting Nanming as Prince Yu... he seems... more worth our support."
