Chapter 357 I Don't Want to Be the Crown Prince

"Hahaha, so you also know who His Majesty's favorite person is." Consort Shen laughed as she looked at her.

Shen Ru was unaware of this until one time when Gu Tianlin suddenly called out her name in a moment of emotion. Only then did Shen Ru realize that she was merely his second choice.

From that moment on, a seed of hatred was planted in her heart, which is why she told the demon about Yuan Jinyue's great opportunity when they met.

She had originally thought that perhaps if she spent more time with Gu Tianlin, she would gradually enter his heart and successfully replace Yuan Jinyue's position, but the result seemed to be less than satisfactory.

"So what? At least I'm more important to His Majesty than you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen me, would he?" Shen Ru's expression was arrogant.

Although she did not win against Yuan Jinyue, at least she won against Consort Shen, who was showing off in front of her.

Consort Shen sneered: "You can only beat me because you have that thing on you that can help you get some things that the Emperor can use. Do you really think he likes you for who you are? Shen Ru, you are too naive. I thought that the beauties who enter the palace every year would help you see reality clearly."

Shen Ru's hands clenched instantly.

She had always thought that she was the destined heroine in the novel, and the emperor was the male lead. As for whether he was a virgin or not, she didn't care, since she wasn't a virgin either.

But she thought that once she successfully captured the emperor's heart, he would be obsessed with her and eventually either dismiss the harem or treat it as a mere formality, doting on only her.

But she seemed to be wrong. After they poured out their hearts to each other, Gu Tianlin continued to participate in the annual talent shows. Although on the surface it seemed that he was indeed only favoring her, he probably didn't even know how many people he had favored behind the scenes.

Every time I get jealous of him about this, he always says it's for the greater good, but is that really true...?

Shen Ru now has doubts about everything Gu Tianlin says; no, she no longer believes any of it.

Gu An stood aside, watching the standoff between the human and the ghost, his head down, lost in thought. No one knew what he was thinking.

"So what? The Empress's position that you've been longing for, I still got to sit on it." Shen Ru forced herself to stand up, her legs weak, and patted the phoenix robe that was the epitome of an Empress, her meaning self-evident.

Consort Shen's eyes reddened. Yes, she had indeed wanted to sit on that throne when she was alive, but after her death, she realized that she would never be able to sit on that throne in this lifetime, even if her son was still alive.

Because her family held too much power in the previous dynasty, Gu Tianlin would never allow himself to sit in that position and have too much power. Being a Noble Consort would probably be the best option.

However, thinking of her son, Consort Shen suddenly glared at her fiercely: "Shen Ru, I swore before I died that if you did anything to my son, I would not let you go. Now, I'm here to fulfill my promise."

Gu An suddenly looked up at Consort Shen, paused for two seconds, and said, "Your child is fine."

Consort Shen stopped moving, suddenly disappeared, and the next second, she appeared directly in front of Gu An, wanting to touch him. But just as her hand was about to touch him, she was suddenly burned by something and quickly withdrew it: "You just said that my child is alright, is that true? How did you know?"

“If your child is named Tianlin, then he is indeed fine. Not only is he fine, but he now has a very close relationship with the immortals. If I’m not mistaken, my status as the crown prince shouldn’t last much longer.” Gu An’s face didn’t show much disappointment. It was just the status of the crown prince, far less than the confusion in his heart.

Consort Shen paused for two seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, hahaha, Heaven blesses my son!"

Mo Qianxun looked at Sang Tianlin, who seemed somewhat bewildered as the gossip had now spread to him, and asked, "Tianlin, do you really intend to become the crown prince?"

Sang Tianlin pointed to himself: "Me? I don't think so. I grew up among commoners and I don't have enough knowledge. I'm afraid that if I become the crown prince, my knowledge won't be up to par and I'll ruin this country. That would be something I can't live with in my conscience."

Chen Min raised an eyebrow: "Then you still have self-awareness. But you don't need to be too self-conscious. Just from the way you've fought your way up, it's clear that you have some ability. As long as you serve the country and the people, your knowledge and such can gradually increase."

Sang Tianlin quickly waved his hand: "Forget it, those old guys have been driving me crazy these past few days. If I really become the crown prince, I'll have to meet with them every day and occasionally have to target each other. There's no need, really no need."

Besides, he really had no interest in outsmarting those old guys.

"What if Gu Tianlin insists on making you the crown prince?" Lou Ye tilted his head. Faced with power, especially power that was offered to him, he didn't believe that Sang Tianlin could really refuse to eat the fat meat that was right in front of him.

"Then I'll go with you. Actually, I'd also like to cultivate immortality." Sang Tianlin looked at Yuan Jinyue, "Sister Jinyue, you wouldn't abandon me, would you!"

"Hey, what are you doing? Trying to steal our master from us!" Qingfeng and the other person rushed forward instantly, protecting Yuan Jinyue behind them.

Mo Qianxun and Chen Min were still secretly laughing to themselves.

Mo Qianxun thought that Sang Tianlin had taken a liking to Yuan Jinyue.

"It seems Qingfeng and the other guy have met their match this time," Mo Qianxun whispered to Chen Min with a smile.

Yuan Jinyue looked at Sang Tianlin curiously, only to see Sang Tianlin quickly shake his head and wave his hands: "No, no, sister, don't misunderstand. I have no romantic feelings for Sister Jinyue. I just want to take a shortcut." As he spoke, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

After all, he's probably one of those who's made taking shortcuts so clear.

Fox Charm and Lou Ye knew who Sang Tianlin had feelings for. Out of the corner of their eyes, they secretly glanced at Mo Qianxun, who was chuckling to herself, and felt extremely sorry for Sang Tianlin. Why did you have to like someone who was completely clueless?

"Shortcut? If you don't have spiritual roots, even if I give you a shortcut, you can't take it. Without spiritual roots, you can only be an outer disciple. You might as well stay here and be a prince." Yuan Jinyue smiled calmly.

Even if she brought Sang Tianlin into the sect because they were on the same page, if Sang Tianlin doesn't live up to her potential, there's nothing we can do.

"It's not a big deal. We can just find time to test his spiritual root. If Tianlin proves himself and develops a good spiritual root, then there won't be any other trouble."

Sang Tianlin asked nervously, "Me? Can I do it?"

"Believe in yourself, you can do it." Mo Qianxun patted his shoulder.

He's someone with great fortune, so his spiritual roots shouldn't be too bad.
