C157

The news the guard brought back made Second Prince's heart race. After the guard left, he couldn't calm down for a long time, even though he suppressed the urge to do something.

But on this deserted night, he also revealed his ambition. I must ascend to the throne for my own sake, for the sake of my children, for the sake of my subordinates.

"Pa ~ ~ ~"

With a light sound, the good Purple Bamboo Gold Crown Brush in Second Prince's hands broke into two pieces. He himself didn't care about it at all, as a prince, he didn't care about a mere few thousand gold coins.

At this moment, all he could think about was how to make better use of the resources in his hands and further enhance his own strength.

Just as the guards and Lu Chen had disappeared for a few days, the situation in the capital had undergone a huge change. The position of the Second Prince was in imminent danger, and even the Emperor was beginning to lean towards this direction.

Logically, as an emperor, he should be the most afraid of people peeping on his throne. However, for some reason, this year's emperor was suddenly very optimistic about the First Prince.

With the emperor's support, the situation in the Second Prince was very bad, there were even people who had started to change their names.

Under these circumstances, the Second Prince would bestow upon the unreliable Imperial Authority! The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. He was betting on the most difficult and boldest gamble of his life.

If he won, he would become the emperor that was the focus of everyone's attention. He would become the ruler of this country. If he lost, he would completely fall into the dust. At this time, there was no other choice.

Second Prince didn't have a choice either. All he could do was gamble everything on this one throw, moving forward bravely and running wildly on this narrow and seemingly impossible path.

Sure... He had to succeed!

As he sighed, the Second Prince unconsciously spoke out the words in his heart. These words were extremely clear and profound in the quiet room.

That night, the candle flame in Second Prince's study was never extinguished.

And it was also on this night that the news of Lu Chen's return spread, the spies in the General Lu Palace had already spread the news out.

No one would have thought that Su Qiang would receive the news that Lu Chen was still alive this very night. He had returned.

"Bang ~ ~ ~"

A loud noise was heard, followed by the sound of porcelain shattering. At this moment, inside Su Qiang's General Mansion, the room was a complete mess.

All the things that could be smashed and thrown away were smashed to pieces. From time to time, the room would be filled with the crisp sound of falling rain. However, it caused one's heart to be agitated to the point of shivering.

This was especially true for the woman in the room. She was just like Su Qiang, who was at a critical juncture. In the end, a Attendant said something and Su Qiang immediately became angry.

The woman with the pained expression thought to herself, I'm so damned unlucky, the young master went crazy and I caught up with him. I originally thought that it was all other sisters talking nonsense, but now …

The woman was sobbing as she hid in a corner beside the bed. Her body trembled from time to time and her entire body shivered. Her eyes were filled with fear.

However, at this time when no one was paying attention to him, Su Qiang was so angry that he was about to go crazy.

He had the heart to kill, but recently, because Su Weiran had been in closed door cultivation and did not come out, Su Qiang had restrained himself. He had even let his guard down because of the news of Lu Chen's death.

Damn it, they were all bastards! Fake news, all fake news!

As he screamed crazily, Su Qiang's eyes were as red as a rabbit's. He shouted crazily, trying his best to not believe the news he had heard.

Just now, his disappearance told Su Qiang that Lu Chen had returned, and was not dead. He had even returned to the General Lu Palace and was being protected by Lu Zhan.

Although he was injured and unconscious, he would definitely survive. This news was like a bolt from the blue to Su Qiang.

When he found out that Lu Chen was dead, Su Qiang was extremely happy. In fact, at that time, Su Qiang had already decided to get Liu Yanran.

All this while, he had always drooled over Liu Yanran's beauty. He wanted Liu Yanran to enter his house and become his concubine.

In his opinion, allowing Liu Yanran to become his concubine was valuing Liu Yanran, and had even given Liu Yanran a huge amount of face. Liu Yanran ought to have directly come to his side in excitement, and would be the most proper thing to do after throwing Lu Chen aside.

In the end, did not even spare a glance for her. This made Su Qiang, who thought himself to be stronger than Lu Chen, an outstanding and elegant person, to be extremely furious.

In addition, Liu Yanran was the maid of the infamous trash, Lu Chen.

A slut actually dared to be so hypocritical and not know how to appreciate favors. With disdain and contempt in his heart, Su Qiang began to target Lu Chen in every way, tormented Lu Chen in every way possible, and then began to take the opportunity to get close to Liu Yanran.

It was precisely because he did not succeed, that he became obsessed with Liu Yanran, who was originally just curious and lustful of beauties, and intended to give up after getting ahold of Liu Yanran.

As the saying goes, what cannot be obtained is the best, it was definitely not wrong to use these words on Su Qiang.

It was just one Liu Yanran, but Su Qiang was already dumbfounded. He had fought with Lu Chen who knows how many times, and he could win every time. It was only the last time, but he had actually lost.

Even to the point of being locked up by Su Weiran, Su Qiang felt ashamed of this, the anger in his heart was like a matter of fact.

When he heard about Liu Yanran and Lu Chen's engagement, Su Qiang became even more furious, and his desire to kill Lu Chen became even more determined.

But, he did not expect that before he could complete his confinement and make his move against Lu Chen, Lu Chen would be in trouble.

The moment he heard the news of Lu Chen's death, Su Qiang became excited. He began to scheme in his mind, thinking of ways to get Liu Yanran to come to his side, and even thought of all sorts of despicable and shameless methods.

In order to make things go smoothly, Su Qiang had decided to use warm water to cook the frog, and he had even schemed against the General Lu Palace. But how would he know that the people from General Mansion would actually not come out of their houses. Even Liu Yanran would not go out.

If he didn't go out, what could he do? Nothing could be done about it. In that moment, Su Qiang was depressed, but this did not affect Su Qiang's fun seeking.

Everything went smoothly, all the way until Su Qiang heard the Attendant's report and quickly changed his expression.

Wasn't he dead? Why are you still alive after death? Damn it, damn it …

As he roared furiously in his heart, Su Qiang's eyes turned blood-red. He gritted his teeth and grinded his teeth non-stop, as his entire body started to tremble.

It was because he was angry, because he was too angry. His body had already affected.
