Chapter 262 The Reappearance of the Imperial Edict

In a secret chamber within the Land of Apocalypse, a faint light filtered through the shabby window frames onto the aged wooden table. An ancient scroll slowly unfolded under the gaze of several people, the folds of the paper exuding a silent aura of history. Ji Yun stood nearby, his hands tightly gripping the edges of the edict, his gaze as sharp as a knife. The air around them seemed to freeze at that moment.

"How come this edict is here?" Feng Jingxuan asked in a low voice, his voice filled with endless surprise and alertness.

Ji Yun didn't answer, staring intently at the imperial edict before him, his heart swirling with emotion. As he knew, behind this edict lay the fate of the entire Tianqi Dynasty. As he carefully examined its contents, his brow furrowed, as if realizing a terrifying truth.

"This edict... it's my father's original writing. It proves that Emperor Yuande isn't the heir." Ji Yun's words resonated through the air, shocking everyone present. "This edict has been tampered with. The true heir to the throne... should be me."

It was like a huge rock falling into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. Feng Jingxuan was stunned, his eyes becoming increasingly complicated, while Gu Yichen stood by, dumbfounded, completely unable to accept the facts before him.

Ji Yun clutched the imperial edict tightly, his fury uncontrollable. It turned out that his long-held emperor brother wasn't the true heir. This edict, written by his father himself, revealed the truth—he was the legitimate heir of the Tianqi Dynasty, and the current emperor wasn't his biological child. The emperor had usurped the throne, betraying his rightful rights.

He whispered, "Back then, my father, in order to preserve the royal family's reputation, didn't make this matter public. Instead, he hid the edict in this secret room. It was because of this that the current emperor had the opportunity to tamper with the edict and exclude me from the heir. He thought this would secure his throne, but he was wrong. Since he's not my biological brother, I will naturally show no mercy. He dared to steal my bloodline and take my son away. He must pay the price for it."

Ji Yun's voice was filled with anger and hatred, and his eyes were like burning flames.

Feng Jingxuan sensed the anger in Yun Xiaoling and was silent for a moment before finally speaking, "So what should we do next?"

A cold light flashed in Ji Yun's eyes. "Next, we must uncover the truth behind this edict and restore everything to its original state. Let everyone know that the throne of the Tianqi Dynasty belongs to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yichen suddenly stood up and looked at Ji Yun with complicated eyes. "Father, you...you mean to take back the throne?" His words were full of confusion and bewilderment.

Ji Yun turned around, his eyes deep, and said in a deep voice: "You and Yun Junche are my two sons, my bloodline. The fake emperor stole you back and made you the crown prince, so you will inherit my throne in the future, and Yun Junche will assist you. And now, we must work together to uncover this conspiracy and restore the orthodox bloodline of the Tianqi Dynasty."

His voice was filled with determination and resolve, as if all the burdens fell on his two sons. Gu Yichen and Lu Linger both felt the pressure in Ji Yun's words, as if this was not just the fate of the family, but the future of the entire dynasty.

Gu Yichen frowned slightly and remained silent for a moment, seemingly still digesting his father's words. He had originally thought that he was just a prince with a complicated background, but at this moment, he realized how deep and turbulent the power struggle behind it was.

"Father..." he finally spoke, his voice heavy with emotion. "I understand. Since everything started with that usurper, I have no way out."

Ji Yun nodded, his eyes revealing a complex emotion: "Your future is destined to be closely linked with the fate of the Tianqi Dynasty. We are not only father and son, but also shoulder the mission of restoring the country's orthodox bloodline. You must be prepared, the road ahead will not be easy."

Yun Junche stood aside, his gaze calm and his head lowered silently. He understood the weight of his father's words, and the heavy burden he would bear. As Ji Yun's second son, while he wouldn't directly inherit the throne, his role in his father's plans was still crucial.

"What we have to do is not only to uncover the secret of the emperor who usurped the throne," Ji Yun's voice sounded again, calm and decisive, "but more importantly, we have to let everyone know that the true heir to the throne of the Tianqi Dynasty should be my bloodline, not that imposter emperor."
