When did you receive this letter? Ling Heng looked at Luo Cheng and asked.
Last night! Luo Cheng said calmly.
Li Xiaoran glanced at the letter in Ling Hengs hand curiously and wondered what was written in this letter to make the Third Prince so angry.
Luo Cheng naturally saw Li Xiaorans gaze.
He took the letters from the three of them and placed them in front of Li Xiaoran.
Look at it! Luo Cheng said.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran picked up the letter and read it without hesitation.
The fourth prince had written this letter to Luo Cheng.
From the beginning to the end, this letter was to rope Luo Cheng in, in hopes that he could help the fourth prince ascend the throne.
Not only that, but the fourth prince also promised in the letter that as long as Luo Cheng was willing to help him, everything in Sichuans White Foothill City would be under his control in the future. In the future, Luo Cheng didnt have to come to the capital. He could even be a local emperor in Sichuan!
After Li Xiaoran read the letter, she immediately laughed.
Seventh Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at? Ling Heng didnt understand how this letter was funny.
Li Xiaoran explained with a smile, Third Brother, Im laughing at the fourth prince for being too naive! Hes just waiting for us to fall for his trap! Whats the difference between him giving us those things or not? If we wanted White Foothill City to be completely under our control, we wouldnt have let Luo Han retire from White Foothill City. If we wanted the things in the mine in White Foothill City, we wouldnt have reported it to Father in the first place! Therefore, isnt the fourth prince trying to lure us into his trap without risking anything of his own?
When Ling Heng heard Li Xiaorans words, he came back to his senses.
Just now, he was immersed in the fourth princes anger at wanting to rope in his seventh brother.
Because he knew very well that the fourth prince had bullied Luo Cheng very badly when he was young.
Although it wasnt as bad as his second brother, it wasnt much better. At this moment, he actually wanted to rope Luo Cheng in. How shameless. Third Brother, the Duan siblings brought me the news that Father hasnt been in good health recently! Luo Cheng asked, What do you think Fourth Brother means by sending such an alliance letter at this juncture?
When Ling Heng heard Luo Chengs words, he immediately said, Thats impossible! When I left, Father was in good health and spoke with vigor. Why did his health suddenly deteriorate?
Luo Cheng voiced his thoughts, This is also what Im most puzzled about! Fathers health suddenly deteriorated, and the fourth prince suddenly came to deal with the Duan siblings. Because he didnt succeed, he sent an alliance letter. All these signs indicate that something big must have happened in the capital. Otherwise, why would the fourth prince, who has always liked to keep a low profile, suddenly want to ally with me?
If Father really got schemed against by someone and his health suddenly deteriorated, the fourth princes actions would be very reasonable! In that case, a new question arises. Why was the fourth prince the only one who made a move?
After Li Xiaoran and Ling Heng heard Luo Chengs words, they began to think about it.
After Ling Heng thought for a moment, he raised a possibility, According to the news my people sent, theres no special movement in the capital! Even the fourth princes behavior in the capital is the same as usual. If it werent for the fact that the fourth prince attacked the Duan family and that the fourth prince sent a letter to you, Luo Cheng, I wouldnt have known all of this at all. I have a feeling that weve all been schemed against. Could the news in the capital be just a facade and in reality, things are already very dire?!
Li Xiaoran thought of Wu Qinghes divination.
Brother Luo Cheng, Madam, the weather has changed and the turbid forces from before have already begun to separate. All kinds of forces are swarming out, so Im afraid the world will be in chaos next. What happened in the past few days is already a sign, and Sichuan will be the center of the vortex. Everything is centered around the mine! Its only in the brewing stage now. In three months, things will change. At that time, conflict will arise! Theres not much time left for us to prepare!
Husband, do you remember what Wu Qinghe said previously? Li Xiaoran couldnt help but remind him.
Luo Cheng nodded at Li Xiaoran and said, Its precisely because I remember that I came back to ask Third Brother if youre interested in that throne! If you are, Ill help you ascend the throne. Compared to other brothers, Im more willing to let you take the throne! At least with you around, I dont have to worry about my life!
Ling Heng was touched by Luo Chengs words.
Luo Cheng, do you really not want the throne?
Luo Cheng looked at his Third Brother as he said solemnly, Third Brother, Ill only say this once! From the beginning to the end, I didnt have any designs on that throne. The others are proud to be born in the royal family, but I want to stay far away from the royal family. From the moment I was born until now, the royal family has only given me pain and torture. If I hadnt been born into the royal family, I would have lived a happy and peaceful life long ago!
These words came from the bottom of his heart. There was no deception at all. They were Luo Chengs true thoughts.
Luo Cheng disliked the royal family, the throne, and his ident.i.ty even more.
If possible, he wanted to give up all of this and live a carefree life with Li Xiaoran.
However, he was now deeply involved, so it was impossible for him to escape now.
In order for them to have a peaceful life in the future and not have to be on guard all the time, Luo Cheng felt that it was best to let his Third Brother ascend the throne.
At least, Third Brother was tolerant of him and wouldnt attack him from time to time!
That was why Luo Cheng made such a decision.
Li Xiaoran understood Luo Chengs thoughts. If another prince ascended the throne, the couple would definitelv become thorns in the side of the new emperor.
However, it would be different if the Third Prince ascended the throne!
The two of them had a deep brotherhood to begin with. Coupled with Luo Chengs promise to help him ascend the throne, as long as the couple didnt have any ill intentions, they could live the rest of their lives in peace.
When Ling Heng heard Luo Chengs words, he knew that he really didnt have any designs on the throne.
Luo Cheng, I know what youre thinking! I can give you a promise.. If I can sit on that throne, Ill definitely let you live the life you want!
