The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 69: A Second Visit to the Palace!

Wei Jiuqian ignored the three stray dogs, had Lu Xuan brought out, and bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, His Majesty is still waiting for you in the palace."

"Now that tonight's business is over, His Majesty has much to say to you. Please come with me to the palace for another talk."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan was slightly taken aback.

"Shall we go now?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously turned around and took a deep look at the direction of the inner room.

"Please wait a moment, Eunuch Wei. I need to check on Wan'er's condition first, otherwise I will find it difficult to feel at ease."

"Please proceed, Your Highness."

Wei Jiuqian immediately stepped aside to make way for him, his expression respectful, showing no sign of impatience.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan didn't delay any longer and quickly walked into the inner room, going straight to the bedside.

At this moment, Lin Wan'er, who was lying on the bed, was still unconscious, but fortunately her breathing was much more stable than before, and a faint color had returned to her originally pale face.

Lu Xuan reached out and gently placed his hand on her pulse. After carefully examining it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it's just a deficiency of qi and blood; his life should be safe."

He took out an exquisite jade bottle from his pocket, poured out a pill that emitted a faint fragrance, and carefully fed it to Lin Wan'er.

This medicine is no ordinary medicine; it is a tonifying and nourishing pill that he personally refined.

Although it is not as immediately effective as the Rejuvenation Pill in bringing the dead back to life, it has an irreplaceable and miraculous effect in nourishing the meridians and restoring damaged vital energy.

After finishing all this, Lu Xuan turned his head and looked at Su Qinghuan and Shen Qiansan who were standing guard to the side.

"I'll leave Wan'er to you two!"

Shen Qiansan and Su Qinghuan quickly replied, "Your Highness, rest assured! With this old servant and Pavilion Master Su here, Miss Lin will be fine. Your Highness, please go see His Majesty."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly, said no more, and turned to walk out of the inner room.

Once outside, he said calmly to Wei Jiuqian, who had been waiting for a long time, "Let's go, Eunuch Wei."

"Please, Your Highness."

With a flick of his whisk, Wei Jiuqian, along with Lu Xuan and the three prisoners, took to the air and flew towards the palace.

The night wind howled in his ears, making Lu Xuan's robes flutter loudly.

From mid-air, seeing the majestic palace standing tall in the distance, he couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Come to think of it, this is my second time being imprisoned today.

Lu Xuan mentally complained, then sighed at his father's grand strategy.

He tricked everyone.

Of course, Lu Xuan is also on the ship now, so he will never allow it to sink.

When Lu Xuan entered the palace again, he was greeted by a lingering stench of blood.

Looking around, the area where the Imperial Study was located had become a ruin.

In the very center of this devastated ruin, Lu Tianxing remained firmly seated on the undamaged dragon throne.

His expression was calm, and his clothes were impeccably clean, with not a single strand of hair out of place.

In the shadows beside him, a masked figure stood silently like a ghost.

He was holding a still-dripping human head in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this old servant has not failed in his mission!"

"The remaining members of the Lin family have all been executed, and Consort Shu and the others... have also been captured!"

"Your Highness, this old servant has brought him safely!"

Wei Jiuqian strode forward and knelt down with a thud, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

He is already old and frail, so to achieve this result is an extraordinary performance.

Lu Tianxing nodded slightly, his gaze passing over Wei Jiuqian kneeling on the ground and landing on the black-robed youth standing on the edge, his posture as upright as a pine tree.

"Third brother, come here."

There was a hint of emotion in Lu Tianxing's voice.

"I never expected that we would meet again tonight."

"I originally thought it would take at least another two or three days."

"Those people are really impatient; they finished this carefully prepared show so quickly."

Lu Xuan bowed respectfully to Lu Tianxing, his expression respectful but without the slightest hint of humility.

"I never expected my palace to be so lively tonight."

"However, since they want to play, I will naturally play along to the end."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing burst into laughter, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

"You've got guts!"

Then, the smile on his face slowly faded.

"Third Prince, I know you have many questions in your heart."

"I'm even wondering why I suddenly took action against the Lin family, and why I was so eager to make you the crown prince?"

"Actually, it's quite simple, because... my time is running out."

"This country is like the study in front of us; it looks bright and beautiful, but in reality, it's like a tomb full of withered bones."

"The Lin family is a cancer that has grown to the core. If we don't find a way to remove it as soon as possible, it will eventually take the life of the Great Yan."

As he spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in Lu Tianxing's eyes.

"Before you ascend the throne, I must remove all obstacles for you."

"Therefore, the Lin family must perish!"

"Only in this way can you take over a clean and honest Great Yan, and lead Great Yan further."

Hearing these heartfelt words, Lu Xuan was slightly moved.

The emperor before us has devoted all his efforts to this empire.

"Rest assured, Father."

"Your Majesty, I will certainly not fail in your trust!"

"good!"

Lu Tianxing nodded heavily, a hint of relief in his eyes.

"With your words, I am relieved."

"However, although the Lin family has fallen, as the saying goes, even a centipede with a hundred legs does not fall down. Especially that old fox Lin Ruofu, who escaped with serious injuries, is still a considerable hidden danger as long as he is alive."

"Moreover, the surrounding countries will not let go of this opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

"The road ahead for you will not be easy."

Lu Tianxing gave Lu Xuan a deep look, his tone solemn.

Be careful in everything.

"Don't let all my efforts go to waste."

Lu Xuan bowed slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"Your subject understands."

"Whoever dares to stand in my way, I will make them regret ever being born!"

Looking at the sharp and ambitious young man before him, Lu Tianxing seemed to see his younger self in him.

No, I am even more dazzling and powerful than I was when I was young!

"Go."

Lu Tianxing waved his hand, his voice tinged with weariness.

"It's almost dawn."

"The new era of the Great Yan Dynasty should have arrived."

Lu Xuan bowed again, then turned and strode away.

Watching his departing figure, Lu Tianxing's lips curled into a faint smile.

"Third brother, oh third brother..."

"My old bones can still shelter you from the wind and rain for a few more days."

"The rest is up to you."
