Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 423: The Royal Family Problems

Putting down the communication jade, Lin Xiao walked out of his residence and then walked to the residence not far from his. The bustling people who were busy in this area hadn’t changed, but the aura they emanated had grown stronger after a period of time.

"You’re here?" Lu Jian was stunned. He did come back with Lin Xiao, but he returned back to his residence directly, so he thought that Lin Xiao wouldn’t pay a visit.

"I have a task that you can do."

"What is it?"

"Bring a group of people to take a mission in the Sha Mountain right beside the capital city. When there’s a chance, destroy the dam."

"Huh?"

Lu Jian knew that there was a river in Shan Mountain not far from where they were staying. However, the water was diverted so that it would form the river outside the capital city. If the dam was destroyed, it would flood the north area of the capital city, which was also the closest to the Palace.

Those who dared to do so would be making enemies with the Royal Family.

"That’s..."

"Not now. I want you to do that when I make a call to you."

Hearing that, Lu Jian knew that it was the time for Lin Xiao to make his move soon. Sighing, he could only nod. "Fine. But make sure that I won’t get punished for doing that."

"You won’t."

"Tsk, you’re so annoying."

"Ah?"

Lin Xiao only laughed and returned back to his own residence. He settled some other matters and arranged plans for him to make sure that he would be able to stay alive on the day of phoenix inheritance because there would be a lot of things that would be going on.

...

In the palace.

Prince Lin Fei’s face was turning even sourer. During the morning court, it was clear that the officials were all praising Prince Lin Bo Wang to the sky. Even some other princes who were usually neutral were now singing praise for Prince Lin Bo Wang.

Looking at how the prince was basking in light, Prince Lin Fei’s eyes were filled with even more hatred.

’Why? Why? Why is it have to be him?’

He couldn’t’ accept this ending at all.

Prince Lin Yan silently watched Prince Lin Fei’s expression. Prince Lin Bo Wang was not present today because he had to pay a visit to Hua Lan Kingdom Emperor with Princess Lan Xiao Yue. As the result, only Prince Lin Fei was present here along with Prince Lin Hong.

Looking at the two princes’ expression, he could guess that they were doing whatever they could to hold back their rage and surging emotion. If they didn’t hold back, it was clear that they would have created a mess in the palace.

’Arrogant princes who can’t even take a setback.’

That was the best description that Prince Lin Yan could think of them. Unlike Lin Xiao who had to face many adversities ever since he was young, the four princes were placed at pedestal and always treated themselves as they were the best.

Prince Lin Fei was already famous since young as the best one.

While Prince Lin Hong always treated himself just slightly below Prince Lin Fei while above the other two princes.

When Prince Lin Kai fell from his graze and finally died along with his followers because their enemies didn’t let them be, they didn’t feel anything. In their eyes, it was only logical for someone as muscle headed as Prince Lin Kai to fall down.

But when Prince Lin Bo Wang attracted more attention from the beautiful princess, they couldn’t hold it back anymore. Their heart was not content because in their eyes, they were much better than Prince Lin Bo Wang.

Unfortunately, the reality proved that they were not any better than him.

’if any of them become the Emperor, I’m sure that Sun Kingdom’s day will be numbered.’ Prince Lin Yan sighed. He looked at the Emperor, who was also distressed.

The Emperor had long known that Prince Lin Bo Wang was more superior than his own son. However, he couldn’t accept that and silently made his move. However, Prince Lin Bo Wang was also smart as he always did his things at very low profile, making it difficult to catch him.

Now that things have developed to this stage, it was clear that it wouldn’t be easy to turn things back around again.

"Court dismissed."

"First Brother, let’s go back." Prince Lin Xian pointed outside. The two of them were still students of Sun Dragon Academy, so they still stayed in the academy even until now. Prince Lin San didn’t participate because he wanted to focus more on his training because he was one of the youngest.

Prince Lin Yan nodded and sighed. "What do you think will happen in the next few days?"

"Hmm? If there’s no chaos, it’ll be weird instead."

Prince Lin Xian had noticed how the two princes behaved and knew that things wouldn’t go well. If Prince Lin Bo Wang was not hard to deal with, they would have been able to deal with him by themselves.

Now, using borrowed sword would be much better.

"Do you think he can make peace with the other two?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because all of them want the same thing and it means that whatever they do, they’ll never be able to be at peace with each other." Prince Lin Yan looked into the distance. Now that he thought about it, Lin Xiao didn’t try to enter the Dragon Pavilion Hall at all. Did his younger brother didn’t have any interest in it or he didn’t want to show the fact that he was also eligible for the throne?

Prince Lin Yan was not totally sure, but whatever it was, he would support his younger brother’s decision. Getting embroiled in the fight right now was not really wise since Lin Xiao’s supporters were still quite low in number.
