After the rice cakes in the food box were quickly eaten, the emperor was full.
After Luo Cheng thought about it for a moment, he mentioned what had happened previouslv.
“Father, I want to ask, have you captured all the people who look like the eldest princes?”
Speaking of this, the emperor thought of something and sneered.
“Previously, I sent people to keep an eye on those people. I originally wanted to stay there and catch the mastermind. Unexpectedly, mania happened later, and the capital was in chaos. My people also suffered from mania, so there was no one to keep an eye on them. After the matter in the capital was resolved, I went to take a look, but they were long gone!”
Luo Cheng didn’t expect things to turn out like this!
Speaking of which, no one expected things to turn out like this.
This mania outbreak happened at the wrong time.
“In other words, these people are gone?” Luo Cheng asked.
The emperor nodded awkwardly.
Luo Cheng sighed when he heard this.
“Sigh, fortunately, I saved a trick up my sleeve!”
When the emperor heard Luo Cheng’s words, his eyes widened.
“What?”
“Father, you didn’t mishear me. I saved a trick up my sleeve!” Luo Cheng chuckled and bowed to the emperor before leaving the imperial study.
As the emperor watched Luo Cheng leave, he was stunned.
“Xiao Dezi, what do you think Luo Cheng means?” Xiao Dezi was also a little confused by Luo Cheng.
“Your Majesty, if you don’t Imow, I don’t know either!”
After Luo Cheng came out of the imperial study, he gazed at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief and strode out of the Imperial City.
Not long after, they bumped into the crown prince.
“Luo Cheng, are you here to see Father again? Look at you. When something happened in the capital, you couldn’t even be seen, but now that the capital is safe, you actually appeared!” The crown prince said sarcastically.
As Luo Cheng looked at the crown prince in front of him, he shook his head. Without saying anything, he left.
“Luo Cheng, are you that arrogant?”
“It’s not the first time I’ve been arrogant. You’ve never taken me seriously since I was young anyvvay! Now, you’re finally taking me seriously? Thank you, but I hope you’ll continue to treat me as if I don’t exist in the future!” Luo Cheng left after saying this.
The crown prince was so angry at Luo Cheng that he stomped his feet, his eyes filled with killing intent.
“Hmph, these people are looking down on me more and more! He’s just a son of a lowly slave, but he actually dares to show off in front of me. Just wait and see. Sooner or later, I’ll teach these people who underestimate me a lesson!”
With that, the crown prince snorted and flicked his sleeves before going to see the emperor.
The commotion outside naturally couldn’t be hidden from the emperor.
The emperor was becoming more and more disappointed in the crown prince.
Why did he think that the crown prince was a qualified crown prince back then?
From the looks of it, the crown prince’s potential was really mediocre. He had spent a lot of effort nurturing the crown prince, but in the end, this was the outcome.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t disappointed.
At this moment, the crown prince walked to the imperial study. After the emperor thought about it for a moment, he decided to meet the crown prince.
If they didn’t meet, the conflict between the crown prince and Luo Cheng would probably deepen in the future.
If the crown prince didn’t understand and really offended Luo Cheng, he probably wouldn’t have the chance to sit on the throne.
After all, just because Luo Cheng didn’t fight for the throne didn’t mean that the other princes wouldn’t fight for it!
The current crown prince’s status was in danger!
After the crown prince walked in and saw the current emperor, the first thing he did was to complain.
“Father, when I came in just now, I saw Luo Cheng go out! I greeted him out of kindness, but Luo Cheng ignored me.”
When the emperor heard the crown prince’s words, his gaze became a little strange.
“You came here just to talk about this?”
Could it be that the crown prince he had nurtured so painstakingly actually became a good-for-nothing? He actually only knew how to complain when something happened?
When the crown prince met his father’s gaze, he immediately had a bad feeling.
“No, Father, I have something to discuss with you! Father, since the chaos of the mania has subsided, it’s time to send officials out to calm people down! I heard that an army is about to arrive in the capital, so we have to calm the people down at this time! I’m willing to do this for you!”
Faced with the crown prince’s initiative, the emperor fell silent.
If it were any other son who said that he wanted to do this, the emperor would have agreed without hesitation.
But the person who made this suggestion was the crown prince!
At this moment, the emperor couldn’t help but wonder if the crown prince could do it.
Perhaps sensing the emperor’s distrust, the crown prince said anxiously, “Father, I’m the crown prince, so it’s most suitable for me to comfort the people on your behalf. As long as the officials and people in the capital are united, we won’t have to be afraid of that army!”
Seeing that the crown prince was anxious to prove himself, the emperor finally gave him this opportunity.
“In that case, go ahead and do it! Remember, make it interesting!” Seeing that the emperor had agreed, the crown prince was immediately overjoyed.
“Thank you, Father. Don’t worry, Father. I’ll definitely handle this matter well!”
With that, the crown prince left.
Looking at the happy crown prince, the emperor let out a long sigh.
The crown prince really didn’t seem to be suitable for the throne!
With his current state, if he continued to be the crown prince, that would probably harm him!
Thinking of this, the emperor became anxious to replace the crown prince.
However, he had many sons. Who should be the one to take the throne?
For some reason, the emperor suddenly thought of Luo Cheng.
If Luo Cheng was the emperor, he wouldn’t have to worry so much.
After all, with Luo Cheng’s intelligence and personality, it wasn’t difficult for him to manage a government.
Unfortunately, he had neglected this kid when he was young. Now, Luo Cheng didn’t want the throne at all. If Luo Cheng really had that intention, Li Shun wouldn’t have entered through the secret passage this time! Luo Cheng didn’t know that the emperor had designs on him.
Even if he knew, Luo Cheng would only scoff.
Whoever liked the throne could have it. He didn’t want it anyway.
After glancing at Li Yan, Li Xiaoran smiled.
“Congratulations. I heard that you did very well during the general examination. I wonder how the palace examination went?”
With that, Li Xiaoran thought of something.
It seemed that after the palace examination, the results hadn’t been announced yet.
No wonder. No wonder Li Yan was still in the capital..
