Farewell

"How could it be King Cheng?" Lu Yurong looked pensive. "Is King Cheng after the throne?"

Chu Li burst into laughter. "Why wouldn't King Cheng want the throne?"

Lu Yurong opened her mouth but soon shut it tight. 

Every prince had a chance to be emperor. Although King Jing had the highest possibility, it did not mean the other princes did not stand a chance. It was indeed tempting for these princes to be just a step away from being emperor. 

The taste of power was not a temptation any man could refuse. 

Chu Li continued, "However, there is a possibility that the Holy Church of Light's trying to muddy the waters to buy some time for the Li Dynasty. They'll have it good if they're able to restrict King Ping."

"As long as King Ping isn't the mastermind," Lu Yurong answered.
