Chapter 255 It goes without saying

Ji Yun looked at him, his eyes sharp as a knife, and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, our goal has never changed. The situation is like this, and the opportunity is fleeting. We must seize it to have a chance to preserve our own future and the future of everyone else." He paused, his tone more steady, "We must not only unite, but also fight against all those who may threaten us."

Gu Yazhu gently wiped away the tears from her eyes and looked up at Ji Yun, her eyes gleaming with determination. "We can't let anyone trample on our family's hopes. Whether it's the struggles within the palace or the pressure from the outside world, in the end, the Prince of Zhennan and the Prince of Jing'an must stand on the same side." Her words revealed an unshakable resolve.

Gu Yichen gazed at his parents quietly, his heart churning with unresolved turmoil. He wondered if he was ready for the impending storm, but he knew the situation was far beyond his control. The veil of his amnesiac past slowly began to unravel, and the predicament he faced was clearly no longer a simple matter of fate.

"So, Your Highness." Feng Jingxuan's eyes were filled with a hint of teasing as he glanced at Gu Yichen. "Are you ready to take on this responsibility? If you are willing, we can work together to overthrow everything that exists and replace it."

Gu Yichen's heart leaped, as if a heavy hammer had struck his chest. He had never imagined he would be thrust into such a turbulent situation. As the crown prince, his fate seemed predetermined, yet now he stood at a crossroads. Each path held unforeseen dangers.

"I..." His voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, and a trace of powerlessness and struggle flashed in his eyes. "I can't let innocent people bear the consequences for me."

Feng Jingxuan smiled faintly, his eyes filled with an elusive meaning. "Your Highness, do you truly understand the meaning of 'innocent'? In this struggle, the so-called 'innocent' is merely a synonym for the weak. If you wish to protect everyone, you must possess sufficient strength."

Gu Yichen's heart trembled, those words piercing his heart like a sharp knife. He finally realized that the choice before him was not as simple as it seemed. He turned his head and glanced at his parents, a strong sense of responsibility rising in his heart. No matter what, he was no longer a bystander; he had been drawn into this vortex and could no longer retreat.

"I understand." He took a deep breath, his eyes becoming firm. "I won't let others bear the pain that I don't deserve."

Ji Yun and Gu Yazhu exchanged a glance, a glimmer of relief in their eyes. Gu Yazhu nodded gently and whispered, "In that case, let's go forward hand in hand and walk together."

Outside, the wind roared fiercely, as if foreshadowing the coming storm. Inside this quiet manor, everyone was ready to weather the storm. No matter how bumpy the road ahead, Gu Yichen realized he was no longer a bystander, but a key figure in this dramatic change.

All the mysteries seem to point to the mysterious "Land of Apocalypse". And all of this will ultimately determine their future fate - and the future of the entire Apocalypse Dynasty.

The night before departure, Lu Linger carefully checked Li Yun's recovery progress. She frowned slightly and carefully observed Li Yun's physical reactions until her brows relaxed. With a hint of tenderness in her tone, she said, "Good, you can go out now. Remember to take the pills on time. Don't be careless. Also, don't use your internal energy for the time being. Try again in five days."

Li Yun lowered his head. Although his appearance remained unchanged, a hint of fatigue lingered in his eyes. He nodded, his voice cold but with a hint of anxiety: "Ling'er, we'll leave tomorrow. Long Lin will definitely follow us. How do you think we can get rid of him?"

Lu Linger smiled faintly, her eyes still calm and resolute. Her fingers gently stroked the medicine bottle, as if pondering her next plan. "Let's have him see you tomorrow morning. I'll have you pretend the poison in your body has slightly relapsed. That way, he'll think you need to rest and won't pursue us too closely. At the very least, by the time he realizes we're gone, he'll have a day or two." She paused, her eyes as focused as a knife. "Second step, I'll arrange some obstacles along the way to prevent him from catching up too quickly."

Li Yun was silent for a moment, his eyes deep, as if he was under immense pressure. He nodded slightly, his voice low, "Okay, Ling'er, you always think of these details and do it so thoroughly."

Lu Linger raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, with a little comfort: "We are already allies, there is no need to say more." She gently placed her hand on Li Yun's shoulder, and the warmth and care flowed through her at this moment, as if everything was self-evident.
