"Whoosh!"
Angrily swinging his sleeve, he walked inside with a sullen face.
...
Inside the carriage.
Chen Xuan suddenly began to laugh.
If it werenât for Lin Fei, he wouldnât have gone at all. They still want to win him over.
They even painted a big picture for him.
This is also why he didnât like Qin Hong, and even those princes were the same.
Too ambitious!
He didnât like it.
Besides, he didnât want to be involved in the struggle for the throne.
"But itâs almost time, isnât it?"
Chen Xuan murmured.
Earlier, he had heard from the Chief Eunuch that the attack on the Stone Cave was actually Emperor Yuâs decision, Duke Yuan was just a catalyst.
All of this was done to resolve the Ten Great Dangerous Lands.
Only when there are no distractions can he proceed with the final step in peace.
Moreover, Liu Sheng speculated that this wouldnât take long.
...
Early the next morning.
Chen Xuan went to Liu Sheng as usual. Just as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw him standing there alone, gazing up at the morning sun.
"Why are you out here alone, sir?"
He took a step forward to support Liu Sheng, just about to lend a hand, "No worries, I can move now. If I continue lying down, Iâll mold."
Yet Chen Xuan still infused some Spiritual Power into his body, checking him carefully.
Moments later!
"Hmm, itâs not bad, you can move around a bit now."
The internal organs have completely regenerated, but are still very fragile. The broken meridians and the ruined dantian will need some more time.
However, with the nourishment of Spiritual Liquid, itâs just a matter of time.
"I said Iâm almost fine but you didnât believe me."
Liu Sheng gave him a sideway glance, yet his face was full of smiles.
Firstly because he really didnât choose the wrong person, Chen Xuanâs meticulous care for so many days truly comforted him.
Also, he could finally get out of bed and walk.
"Itâs good that youâre feeling better."
"But you still need to be careful, your internal organs have healed a bit but are still very fragile after being severely wounded."
Chen Xuan reminded.
"Yes!"
Liu Sheng didnât retort, "Donât worry, old man still doesnât want to die, thereâre still many affairs waiting for me!"
"By the way, what do you think of Lin Fei, sir?"
"Hmm?"
Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow, looking at him curiously, then asked, "Why did you suddenly mention Lin Fei?"
Chen Xuan told him what happened yesterday.
"Hmm, Lin Fei is just that type of person, she neither fights nor competes. Honestly, I quite like her personality."
"Then who do you think will eventually take that position, sir?"
Chen Xuanâs words were startling.
Even Liu Shengâs expression changed slightly.
He then scolded, "Youâve got a lot of nerves to ask such a thing!"
"Hehe!"
Instead, Chen Xuan chuckled lightly, "Isnât it because Iâm asking in front of you, sir?"
"Qin Hong drew a big picture for me yesterday, honestly, itâs hard for ordinary people to refuse!"
"Yet didnât you still refuse? Rascally kid, still putting on an act in front of me."
Liu Sheng certainly understood his character.
Cake?
Even a dog wouldnât eat something like that.
Besides, it was Qin Hong who drew the picture.
In his view, that position hardly had any connection with him.
Seeing his expression, Chen Xuan continued to ask, "Does the Chief Eunuch think Qin Hong canât take that position?"
"Hardly any hope!"
"His foundation is too weak, regardless of background, talent, or strength, heâs much inferior even to Qin Junmo, let alone Qin Tiandao."
"What a pity!"
Suddenly, Liu Sheng sighed.
"He is pitiable?"
Chen Xuan was puzzled, wasnât there no hope at all? Whatâs there to pity?
"Foolish!"
"What I pity is Qin Ying. Itâs a pity sheâs a woman, otherwise, that position would be hers."
Liu Sheng shook his head.
"That position isnât all that great."
Chen Xuan shrugged.
"In the Royal Family, you canât help yourself. Failing to compete only leads to death, itâs not as simple as you think."
"Not everyone is like you, free of desires!"
This was one of the reasons he valued Chen Xuan.
"Alright, you just donât participate in this matter, let those little brats fight and kill!"
Of course, even though he said this.
The final decision still rested in Emperor Yuâs hands, and the premise was that he could successfully take the last step, otherwise, itâs uncertain who would sit in that position.
"Empress!"
The phrase suddenly surfaced in Liu Shengâs mind!
Not impossible!
...
Qin Hong arrived at Duke Qinâs Mansion.
"Duke Qin, Prince Xuan refused! Unless the Chief Eunuch agrees."
Duke Qinâs expression turned cold.
No surprise itâs someone favored by Liu Sheng, with the same arrogance, directly rejecting his favor, very well!
Qin Hong sat there, feeling the anger in his heart, and didnât dare to speak.
After a long while.
"You may go back first, donât tell anyone about this!"
"Rest assured, sir!"
Qin Hong stood up. Being the head of the Three Dukes yet being refused by a small prince, it wouldnât sound good if it spread out.
However, just as he left Duke Qinâs Mansion, Duke Yuan arrived with a solemn expression.
Even he just nodded slightly to Qin Hong, hurriedly heading inside.
"Something big has happened!"
For Duke Yuan, a figurehead, to show such an expression, even awkwardly, it must be something significant.
After leaving Duke Qinâs Mansion, he immediately sent someone to investigate.
"What?"
"You say the Blood Race inside the Blood Cry Realm is stirring again?"
Duke Qinâs expression froze, this hadnât stayed peaceful for long before starting again, but this was unreasonable; originally, it was all Ten Great Dangerous Lands moving simultaneously.
To pressure Great Yu.
But now other dangerous lands are calm, does the Blood Race intend to break out of the Blood Cry Realm?
