Tao Qingging smirked. Get to the bottom of what?
‘The crown prince had protected Feng Wu against the Gu family; it was so obvious that he was fond of her! That Zuo Qingluan should stop daydreaming!
She gave Zuo Qingluan a mocking glance.
It just so happened that Zuo Qingluan glanced in her direction at that moment.
Tao Qingqing was scared out of her wits. She turned the other way, and her face lost all color.
Mrs. Tao shook her head in resignation.
Meanwhile, on the street.
Emperor Wu was outside when he saw the words.
“Jun Linyuan the sovereign descends to the world and Feng Wu the phoenix soars above the land?”
Emperor Wu stood in the busy street and looked at the central square from afar. He narrowed his eyes when he read the words.
Gao and Qin Yan looked at each other in astonishment.
“TIL look into it,” said Qin Yan.
Emperor Wu smiled a little. “Of course it has to be that boy. Who else is bold enough to say such a thing?”
“The sovereign descends to the world? He just can’t wait to take the throne, can he?” thought Emperor Wu.
Neither Gao nor Qin Yan dared to utter a word.
However, the fury they expected never came. Emperor Wu said quietly, “Jun Linyuan the sovereign descends to the world and Feng Wu the phoenix soars above the land. That’s quite a match! What a clever boy!”
That settled everything.
Gao and Qin Yan’s clothes were soaked in sweat.
“I thought he had abandoned Xiao Wu, but here he is, planning something big. My dear son is so smart, isn’t he?”
No one answered.
When he turned around to see the two scared subordinates, he snapped, “Grow some balls!”

“Jun Linyuan, are you going to usurp the throne now?”
But then, he remembered something.
Before his father abdicated, he had summoned Emperor Wu to the study and told him something.
“The throne was meant for your younger brother because he’s better than you.”
Emperor Wu worshiped his wise father, and that comment almost broke him.
However, there was a “but.”
“But you have an excellent son, so you’re going to guard the throne for him for 20 years. After that, it’ll be his.”
Emperor Wu was overwhelmed by all the information.
“Father, I promise you that I’ll pass the throne to Jun Linyuan!”
‘The old man gave him a long look and said indifferently, “If he wants it.”
‘The young Emperor Wu almost cried.
He and his brother had fought tooth and nail for the throne, but what did his father say?
Seeing that he was upset, his father patted him on the shoulder. “It’s a family tradition. We only get a genius every other generation. Your generation just isn’t lucky enough..”
