Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 758 - Xiaoyu’s Story



Chapter 758 Xiaoyu’s Story

At the mention of his story, Xiaoyu became less reserved.

However, at the thought of his family affairs, the innocent and lovely teenager put on his frosty look again.

Displeased to see Xiaoyu kept a straight face at such a young age, Lin Mengya reached out to pinch his face hard. Seeing the helpless look in his eyes, she looked at him with satisfaction and continued listening to him.

“In fact, Uncle Lie took me back because he had no other choice. I’m the youngest son of Wanyan Chenghui, the Emperor of the Lieyun Empire. Back then, my father had to send me away because our enemies plotted against my elder brothers. Now my returning to the Lieyun Empire has ruined their plan. Sister, don’t be afraid. No one in the Lieyun Empire can hurt you,” Xiaoyu said.

Lin Mengya felt nothing but astonishment at the moment.

What was wrong with her? Although she had this speculation before, she didn’t expect that Xiaoyu turned out to be another prince she met.

Why did she have various relationships with the royal members of various countries in this life?

“Are you alright, sister? What’s wrong? Did you catch a cold just now?” Lin Zhongyu asked.

He stared anxiously at his sister, wondering what made her hold her head, look up to the sky and sigh a moment later.

She sighed and finally accepted her unpredictable fate.

She had even gone through soul travel, not to mention this kind of thing less likely to happen than being struck by lightning.

Perhaps this was sheer dumb luck.

“I’m fine. I just sighed over the fleetness of fate. Since you’re the youngest son of the Emperor of Lieyun Empire, you’ll certainly inherit the throne from your father after going back. Since some people try to hinder you doing that, why don’t you make use of this opportunity to give up the throne?” Lin Mengya said.

She had never considered being an emperor as a good thing.

A wise emperor should care for the national fate and learn to weigh the pros and cons. No one other than the emperor knew how difficult it was.

If it weren’t for the current situation where her husband Long Tianyu had no other choice, she would not have been willing to encourage him to compete for the throne far less distinguished than it seemed to be.

Moreover, Long Tianyu had grown up in the royal family and been exposed to the tactics of manipulating power as an emperor.

She did not have different standards for the two of them, but compared with Long Tianyu, Xiaoyu had grown up in a much inferior environment.

Even if Xiaoyu were to ascend the throne, the powerful officials could easily make him a mere figurehead. Even if he were to manage state affairs in person in the future, there would be a lot of trouble in front of him. It would be much easier for him to be a prince or live a leisurely and wealthy life.

But it seemed that Xiaoyu had to inherit the throne despite his unwillingness.

“I don’t want to inherit the throne, but if I give up the throne, they will kill me sooner or later. My parents and all the officials of my clan will also be killed by them!” As Xiaoyu said, he suddenly showed a furious look on his delicate face.

Lin Mengya was taken aback by this, but she felt sorry for him.

Holding Xiaoyu in her arms, Lin Mengya tried all she could to warm him and let him know the world was not as cruel as he thought.

However, she swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue.

What could she say? Even she, involved in the trouble, had to part with her beloved person. Could she make up a lie to convince him that everything was going well?

After a long while, Lin Mengya spoke in a hoarse voice, “If you want to protect your clansmen, the first thing you have to do is to be cruel. Based on what you have done these days, I realize you have a high consciousness in this regard. So, now I teach you the second thing, which is to manipulate people’s desires. Remember, wars and pains in the world are all caused by people’s desires. If you can manipulate people’s desires, you will be close to success. I can’t teach you to be a wise monarch, but I can teach you to be a worthy person clear about what to love or hate.”

In fact, Lin Mengya didn’t know why she said that.

Perhaps it was because she was keenly aware that no one in the world could go against fate in his life!

Since she couldn’t change her fate, she decided to try her best to take control of it.

As long as she and Xiaoyu took everything under control, no one could get in their way.

Xiaoyu, who put his head on her shoulder, trembled slightly and lifted his head to look at her in puzzlement, as if he got to know her for the first time.

“Are you confused? It doesn’t matter. You just need to remember one thing: we can’t be overwhelmed by the duties on our shoulders. Although I don’t know why I share this soul soother with you, I find a great thing. If you become the Emperor of the Lieyun Empire, I will have another strong backing. In this case, I can do whatever I want in these countries in the future,” Lin Mengya said.

The first few sentences gave Xiaoyu a strong sense of responsibility.

But hearing the following sentences, he showed a bitter face.

Even after coming back to life, his sister still talked in the playful way he was familiar with.

Lin Mengya could occasionally give a lecture, but even she would be bored if she did that often.

After chatting with Xiaoyu for a long time, Lin Mengya finally collected the information she wanted.

The Emperor of the Lieyun Empire was a poor man.

He succeeded the throne with the support of several powerful families. Thus, after he became the Emperor, the forces tried to take their shares of the benefits.

Their first step was to try to take the Emperor under control.

For this reason, the powerful families tried every means to marry their daughters to the Emperor. If their daughters had the Emperor’s favor all to themselves and gave birth to the successor for the throne, the entire Lieyun Empire would be under their control in the future.

However, they had good plans, but they did not expect that the Emperor, who was able to unite them and maneuver among them all this time, was not a puppet.

The Emperor was truly a formidable ruler proficient in manipulating his officials.

The powerful families did not get any benefits over the years, but suffered great losses.

The Emperor could not let it go on like this, because he would definitely get old one day. However, almost all the members of his harem were inextricably related to the powerful families.

Once they had children, there would be another tempestuous storm in the Lieyun Empire. As such, the Emperor was upset so that he had plenty of beautiful wives and concubines, but no child.

The powerful families were frantic with anxiety. Apart from sending ladies into the Imperial Palace, they tried every means to present some medicine capable of helping the ladies get pregnant. The Emperor was anxious as well. If it went on like this, he would die without descendants.

Therefore, the Emperor used his quick wits to come up with a compromise measure.

Apart from selecting members of his harem from the powerful families, he managed to unite several families, which were weaker but easier to control or loyal to him, by marriage.

In this way, he finally had some children who were Xiaoyu’s elder brothers.

However, noticing the measure he took, the powerful families went even further.

The princes’ grandparents’ families were either sidelined and almost ruined, or forced or bribed to join the powerful families.

The princes either died prematurely or became the puppets of the powerful families.

Although almost all forces had their cards, the Emperor took no action and refused to announce his successor.

The powerful families manipulated the princes to play various intrigues every day and cause a tempestuous storm in the Imperial Palace where everyone lived in bloodless battles.

Seeing that his sons were either dead or brainwashed, the Emperor became even more upset.

Finally, driven mad by his sons, he went out incognito.

As the plot of some TV series, he met a lady as beautiful as a fairy during the trip.

The lady was not Cinderella, but from a noble family and of a high status.

The Emperor and the lady fell in love with each other, so he took her home in high spirits, and then married her and had a child. Their story was supposed to end happily here.

Unfortunately, a few villains came out to disrupt the happy life of the Emperor and the lady because of the lady’s prominent family background.

Although the powerful families were formidable, they could meet their match.

The lady came from the Xin Family, a noble family.

What did the Xin Family do? Lin Mengya remembered her teacher had told her that it was one of the families holding the positions of the state preceptor and the high priest in the Lieyun Empire for generations.

The ruler of the Lieyun Empire seemed to be the Emperor, but in fact it was the high priest.

Now that the Xin Family’s legitimate daughter had married the Emperor, the other powerful families suddenly felt that they had no hope of fighting for the throne.

This was supposed to be a good thing, but unfortunately, the current master of the Xin Family was ambitious.

Lin Mengya could figure out the following story.

The Xin Family tried to take away the baby of the Emperor and the lady, but they refused to give their baby away, so they asked the direct descendants of the royal family to take their baby out of the Lieyun Empire at all costs. After making sure their baby was safe, they fought desperately with the Xin Family.

Their baby turned out to have grown up into the young man in front of her.

She rubbed her sore temple with her fair and slender index finger.

Alas, she didn’t expect that Xiaoyu had a tougher life than hers, and his story involved all kinds of conventional strife for power.

“So now, are the loyal supporters of the Wanyan Family protecting you and fighting against the Xin Family?” Lin Mengya asked.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu shook his head and said with a serious look, “My parents are very smart. Over the years, they, who did not have to worry about me, have engaged in a fierce fight with the Xin Family. However, because of one thing, my father had to agree that he would only appoint either his sons or a male member of the Xin Family, who is my mother’s nephew, as the Crown Prince. After working hard over the years, they are all at the summit of their power. It’s not easy for me to surpass them.”
