CHAPTER 307: CHAPTER 296: AFRAID OF HIM? NOT A CHANCE

As soon as Feng Wuchen entered the Imperial Study Room, he saw a high-ranking official lying on the ground in a pitiful state, unconscious and uncertain if alive. Instantly, his heart couldn’t help but tighten.

He quickly stepped forward to salute Feng Qingyang, "This son greets Father Emperor."

But Feng Qingyang did not immediately let Feng Wuchen rise; instead, he looked down at him with a heavy gaze and asked, "Old Third, do you recognize the woman beside you?"

Hearing this, Feng Wuchen couldn’t help but feel a sudden tension in his heart.

He didn’t know what Lingsu had done, so he didn’t dare to act rashly at this moment.

Moreover, if Lingsu failed to help him seize the throne, he would have offended Father Emperor, who might then believe he was in cahoots with Lingsu.

So at this moment, denying acquaintance with Lingsu was the best choice.

As for dealing with Lingsu, it would be much easier to explain.

Thinking of this, after quickly glancing at Lingsu, Feng Wuchen shook his head towards Feng Qingyang and denied, "Replying to Father Emperor, this son... does not know this woman."

Upon hearing Feng Wuchen’s words, Lingsu furrowed her brows slightly.

Why did he deny knowing her?

And Feng Qingyang, upon hearing Feng Wuchen’s words, was filled with doubt.

Doesn’t know her?

Then it seems this woman wanting the Old Third to ascend the throne has nothing to do with him.

Thinking to this point, Feng Qingyang narrowed his eyes and then addressed Feng Wuchen with a stern voice, "You don’t know her? Why would she insist I pass the throne to you?"

Feng Qingyang was not so easily fooled.

...

Feng Wuchen was shocked by Feng Qingyang’s words and then looked at Lingsu in surprise.

She actually dared to come directly and demand Father Emperor pass the throne to him?

She truly had a bold spirit.

However, Feng Wuchen quickly regained his composure.

He was not foolish; realizing the outside civil and military officials, and the injured ministers inside the hall, Feng Wuchen knew Lingsu’s straightforward tactics might actually work!

But the more it seemed like it would work, the less he could show any hint of joy.

Thus, Feng Wuchen resolutely shook his head and said, "This son also doesn’t know why she would want you to pass the throne to me. Besides, the Crown Prince elder brother is still here, and this throne is not for me to sit on." Feng Wuchen appeared as if he had no intention of competing for the throne.

Upon seeing this, Feng Qingyang cast a cold glance at him and then looked at Lingsu again.

"Miss, as you can see, Wuchen has no intention to ascend the throne. Insisting that I pass it to him, isn’t that making it difficult for him?" Feng Qingyang said.

Hearing Feng Qingyang’s words, Feng Wuchen’s heart instantly leaped.

He was a bit worried that Lingsu might truly believe he had no ambitions to be emperor and follow along with Father Emperor’s words to reject it.

Fortunately, he quickly heard Lingsu say, "Whether he likes the throne or not is his business, but today I am determined to make him the emperor!"

In her heart, she thought: Wuchen is just too kind.

Does he know that this Feng Qingyang has no intention of passing the throne to him at all?

Yet he still cherishes the father-son bond, not wanting to take his Father Emperor’s things.

But it doesn’t matter, she will make the decision he can’t bear to make!

The throne, she was determined to claim it for Feng Wuchen today.

As for whether Feng Qiwu would come out to oppose?

Even if he stepped out, so what?

Is she afraid of him?

...

Seeing Lingsu determined to make Feng Wuchen ascend the throne today, Feng Qingyang’s heart sank.

However, thinking that the bastard Feng Qiwu should have already gotten the news and would definitely rush over immediately, he was forced to calm himself down.

Perhaps when that madman arrives, things might still have a turning point.
