Chapter 93: Your Highness, do you want to be the crown prince?

Lin Wan'er chased after him in panic and finally stopped Li Yunrui at the door.

"Mom, didn't you just say you wanted to stay for lunch? Why are you leaving now?"

"I still have things to do in the palace, so I won't eat."

Li Yunrui forced a smile, waved at Lin Wan'er while sitting in the carriage, and slowly left.

Watching the carriage slowly disappear, Lin Wan'er came back to her senses.

Although she didn't understand what the conflict was between Li Yunrui and Li Chengping, she could vaguely guess something.

Just then, a carriage slowly approached from a distance.

The car door opened, and Lin Ruofu lifted the curtain and walked down.

Lin Wan'er's eyes suddenly widened, joy flooding her face, and she threw herself into Lin Ruofu's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"I came to see you. Look, Dad bought your favorite peach blossom cake."

Lin Ruofu chuckled, changing his indifference in the court, and looked at Lin Wan'er with eyes full of love and doting.

"You're lying. Dad must be coming for the Third Prince." Lin Wan'er snorted.

"Haha, you are worthy of being Daddy's good daughter. We are really in tune with each other. Don't be angry. Daddy really has something important to discuss with the Third Prince this time."

"I know, I know. He's upstairs. Go ahead and I'll go find Ling'er first."

Lin Wan'er waved her hand, picked up the peach blossom pastry and left with a smile.

Compared to Li Yunrui, she was more natural in front of Lin Ruofu.

Although this prime minister has great power, he does not put on airs in front of his family, unlike Li Yunrui who is always pretentious.

The second floor.

Li Chengping sat there sipping his tea leisurely. He did not see Li Yunrui off when he went downstairs just now.

After what happened last night, the relationship between him and Li Yunrui has become strained.

He didn't need to gain any benefits from the other party, and there was no need to chase after him to please him. On the contrary, Li Yunrui finding Lin Wan'er at this time made him a little annoyed.

"Your Highness, it's so boring to sit here and drink alone. I wonder if I could have the honor of sitting down and drinking with you."

Suddenly, a laughing voice came from the stairs.

Li Chengping's thoughts were interrupted. He looked up and found Lin Ruofu walking up to him with a smile.

"Uncle, why are you here? Please take a seat."

"Don't be so polite, sit down."

Lin Ruofu smiled faintly and asked casually when he saw the two empty teacups on the table.

"Did someone come here just now?"

"Yes, the princess just left not long ago." Li Chengping nodded.

Lin Ruofu frowned: "What is that woman doing here?"

"I'm not sure about that. She left as soon as I arrived, without even saying a word."

Li Chengping shook his head. In fact, he was also very curious about the purpose of Li Yunrui's visit.

Speaking of this, the atmosphere in the room unconsciously became a little depressing.

The atmosphere did not gradually ease until Lin Wan'er brought over a plate of cut fruit.

"Dad, Your Highness, please eat some fruit first. I will ask the kitchen staff to prepare dinner. Everyone will stay for lunch today."

Lin Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled, her voice as clear and sweet as jade beads falling on a plate.

Her smile soothed the worries in their hearts, and they smiled at each other and nodded.

After Lin Wan'er left, Lin Ruofu sat up straight and his expression became extremely serious.

"Your Highness, you were too reckless last night, breaking into the palace at night. Fortunately, His Majesty did not pursue the matter, otherwise it would be a serious crime!"

"Uncle, I don't want to do this either, but I have no choice."

Li Chengping smiled bitterly and told the story of how Li Yunrui had kidnapped Shen Wan'er and framed him.

Although it was just a few words, Lin Ruofu broke out in a cold sweat. If it was someone else, he would have just taken it as a joke, but if it was Li Yunrui, it might be true.

This woman has a problem with her brain. There is nothing she can't do.

"Now it seems that you did the right thing, but your method was a bit extreme. According to the rules, you should have consulted His Majesty first."

"But fortunately, His Majesty did not punish you. On the contrary, because of this incident, a lot of news that was unfavorable to the Crown Prince appeared in the court."

"Some even say that His Majesty intends to make you the new crown prince!"

Lin Ruofu looked solemn.

He was definitely not just talking. This news has been circulating among the people since the morning court ended today.

"Make me the crown prince?"

Li Chengping was a little confused. What happened so early in the morning?
"Uncle, what do you think about this?"

Li Chengping turned to look at Lin Ruofu. Since he had come all the way to see him, he must have already thought of a plan.

"Your Highness, I think that not only should we ignore this matter, but we should also secretly fuel it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became extremely quiet.

Li Chengping paused holding the teacup, silently put it back on the table, and stared at Lin Ruofu with dark eyes.

"Uncle, do you know the consequences of this?"

Lin Ruofu smiled disapprovingly.

"If you encourage treason, your entire family will be executed at the least, and your entire clan will be implicated at the worst."

"Now, only I and Dabao are left in the Lin family. Why should we fear death?"

"Your Highness, it is inconvenient for you to act with your identity. I will help you. Everything will be handled by me. Even if the truth is revealed, it will not be traced to you!"

Lin Ruofu looked calm.

Recently in the court, Emperor Qing began to gradually weaken the power in his hands. With his keen sense after years of being an official, it was obvious that he was planning to take action against him.

At this rate, it won't be long before he is kicked out of the court by Emperor Qing.

Once he lost power, his former glory would be nothing but a joke. In order to ensure Lin Wan'er's future life, and also to let Li Chengping take care of the Lin family in the future.

This time, Lin Ruofu was willing to gamble his future and life.

If this really happens, Li Chengping will ascend to the throne of the crown prince, and the Lin family will be a huge contributor.

If things fail, it's just bad luck.

Anyway, there are only him and Lin Dabao left in the Lin family. As for Lin Wan'er, she is protected by Li Yunrui and Li Chengping, so Emperor Qing will not take any action.

Looking at Lin Ruofu's eager eyes, Li Chengping sensed something and ultimately did not agree.

"Uncle, this kind of thing can't be rushed. Wait a little longer. I'll contact you when the time is right."

Li Chengping smiled slightly and calmed Lin Ruofu's emotions.

Is the position of crown prince attractive? However, his goal is not just to be a crown prince.

You only have one chance, so you must seize it.

But definitely not now!

Lin Ruofu's bringing up of this matter made Li Chengping a little upset, and he did not stay long after the meal.

"Wan'er, I have something to do so I have to go back first. If you are free some other day, you can come to the palace to play."

Li Chengping smiled at Lin Wan'er and turned to look at Lin Ruofu.

"Uncle, don't think too much. See you another day."

Lin Ruofu stood quietly at the door until Li Chengping's carriage disappeared, then he came to his senses.

Yuan Hongdao noticed something unusual and walked forward and lowered his voice.

"Prime Minister, what did you say?"

"I said, no, let's go."

Lin Ruofu waved his hand, opened the curtain and sat down. Now he felt his mind was a little confused and he needed to calm down.
