“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 Heng’s hand curiously and wondered what was written in this letter to make the Third Prince so angry.
Luo Cheng naturally saw Li Xiaoran’s 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 Sichuan’s White Foothill City would be under his control in the future. In the future, Luo Cheng didn’t 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 didn’t understand how this letter was funny.
Li Xiaoran explained with a smile, “Third Brother, I’m laughing at the fourth prince for being too naive! He’s just waiting for us to fall for his trap! What’s the difference between him giving us those things or not? If we wanted White Foothill City to be completely under our control, we wouldn’t have let Luo Han retire from White Foothill City. If we wanted the things in the mine in White Foothill City, we wouldn’t have reported it to Father in the first place! Therefore, isn’t the fourth prince trying to lure us into his trap without risking anything of his own?”
When Ling Heng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he came back to his senses.
Just now, he was immersed in the fourth prince’s 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 wasn’t as bad as his second brother, it wasn’t 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 hasn’t 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 Cheng’s words, he immediately said, “That’s 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 I’m most puzzled about! Father’s health suddenly deteriorated, and the fourth prince suddenly came to deal with the Duan siblings. Because he didn’t 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 prince’s 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 Cheng’s 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, there’s no special movement in the capital! Even the fourth prince’s behavior in the capital is the same as usual. If it weren’t for the fact that the fourth prince attacked the Duan family and that the fourth prince sent a letter to you, Luo Cheng, I wouldn’t have known all of this at all. I have a feeling that we’ve 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 Qinghe’s 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 I’m 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! It’s only in the brewing stage now. In three months, things will change. At that time, conflict will arise! There’s not much time left for us to prepare!”
“Husband, do you remember what Wu Qinghe said previously?” Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but remind him.
Luo Cheng nodded at Li Xiaoran and said, “It’s precisely because I remember that I came back to ask Third Brother if you’re interested in that throne! If you are, I’ll help you ascend the throne. Compared to other brothers, I’m more willing to let you take the throne! At least with you around, I don’t have to worry about my life!”
Ling Heng was touched by Luo Cheng’s words.
“Luo Cheng, do you really not want the throne?”
Luo Cheng looked at his Third Brother as he said solemnly, “Third Brother, I’ll only say this once! From the beginning to the end, I didn’t 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 hadn’t 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 Cheng’s true thoughts.
Luo Cheng disliked the royal family, the throne, and his identity 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 wouldn’t attack him from time to time!
That was why Luo Cheng made such a decision.
Li Xiaoran understood Luo Cheng’s 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 Cheng’s promise to help him ascend the throne, as long as the couple didn’t have any ill intentions, they could live the rest of their lives in peace.
When Ling Heng heard Luo Cheng’s words, he knew that he really didn’t have any designs on the throne.
“Luo Cheng, I know what you’re thinking! I can give you a promise.. If I can sit on that throne, I’ll definitely let you live the life you want!”
