Chapter 263 Brothers' Confrontation

Lu Linger listened to the conversations around her, her head struck by a thunderbolt. Her eyes were filled with confusion and shock, her entire mind in a turmoil, as if swallowed by an invisible wave. She turned to Gu Yichen, her eyes filled with confusion and disbelief. "You...what did you say? You, you are the prince?"

Gu Yichen's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he sighed deeply. He nodded gently, "Yes, I have never concealed my identity from you, but this time the situation has far exceeded my control."

Lu Ling'er's heart pounded, her mind blank. She had thought a stable and peaceful family life was enough, but she hadn't expected to be embroiled in such unfathomable palace strife. Her eyes flickered, as if she was trying to process it all, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't regain her former peace and stability.

Her eyes wandered among the crowd, finally stopping at Ji Yun, trying to find a trace of comfort in his eyes. However, the determination and calmness in Ji Yun's eyes only made her doubts even more serious.

"Then, that... the current emperor?" She paused, struggling to organize her thoughts, "Did he really... usurp the throne?" There was a slight tremor in her voice, as if she was looking for an answer for herself.

Ji Yun's eyes turned slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice, "That's right, Emperor Yuande was not the original successor. The current emperor is not my father's biological son, but seized the throne through a tampered imperial edict. Your husband, Gu Yichen, was also caught up in this vortex of bloodline disputes."

Lu Ling'er's eyes gradually lost focus. Her world seemed to be torn apart in an instant, all her trust and peace shattered in that moment. She had never imagined that she would be so closely connected to these palace power struggles. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found herself speechless.

Ji Yun's voice was low but firm: "We cannot call it a rebellion. What we want is to restore the order that should belong to us. The throne of the Tianqi Dynasty should belong to my bloodline. The emperor who usurped the throne will eventually pay the price for his actions."

Lu Ling'er looked at him, the shock and confusion in her heart not dissipating, but intensifying. She had never imagined she would be caught up in such a deep conspiracy. She just wanted to hold onto something, but everything seemed to be getting further and further away.

Gu Yichen gently held her hand, and his soft voice rang in her ear: "Ling'er, don't be afraid. No matter what, I will face this with you. Only by uncovering the truth and restoring order can the Apocalypse Dynasty get back on track."

At this moment, a sneer suddenly came from outside, with obvious mockery and disdain: "Who do you think you are? Still wishful thinking."

Lu Linger turned around and saw Emperor Yuande, Yun Chuling, walking in menacingly with a group of dragon guards. Commander Long Lin followed closely behind, a cold, threatening look in his eyes.

"Yun Xiaoling, I have already given you face by letting you be an idle prince. However, not only are you not satisfied with the status quo, but you go to war instead. I really thought that if you die in the battle, everything will be easier. But you don't die, and you actually become a god of war. The people all love you, but they don't even want to look at me, the emperor." Yun Chuling's words were full of irony, and the cold light in his eyes made the atmosphere even more depressing.

His smile became increasingly sinister, as if he had anticipated everything. "Do you think you can shake this throne with just an imperial edict and your bloodline? You are just a former prince, no match for me."

Yun Chuling's words were full of contempt and threats, and his aura was powerful, as if telling Yun Xiaoling: You are destined to never surpass me.

Ji Yun (Yun Xiaoling) sneered, a sharp cold light flashing in his eyes: "Yun Chuling, do you think that this edict of usurping the throne can cover up the truth? Whatever you have done will be exposed sooner or later. Although you can use power to usurp the throne, in the end, the throne will return to the hands of my bloodline."

His words were full of determination and undeniable power. In this struggle for power, he would not back down.

Feng Jingxuan, Gu Yichen, Li Yun, and the others quietly took their positions, their eyes brimming with fighting intent. The situation was on the verge of breaking out, and no one knew what would happen next, but they all understood that every step would determine the future.

A trace of disdain flashed in Yuande Emperor Yun Chuling's eyes. He leaned forward slightly and said in a cold tone, "Li Yun, I had someone heal your injuries, and your reward is to lead these people into the Land of Apocalypse?"

Li Yun sneered and fought back fearlessly, "Yun Chuling, you're wrong. I agreed to help you because I had to find Lu Ling'er for some reason. Now that Lu Ling'er has been found, what do you think I owe you? The so-called entry into the Land of Apocalypse requires Lu Ling'er and Crown Prince Yun Junrui to open it. Li Yun is just going along with the situation."

Li Yun's tone was calm, yet it carried a threat that could not be ignored. As soon as the words fell, everyone could sense Yun Chuling's expression change slightly, and they secretly became alert.

Emperor Yuande Yun Chuling's smile gradually faded, his brow furrowed. He clearly hadn't expected Li Yun's response. He stood there, pondering for a moment before coldly saying, "I see. So you all thought I, Yun Chuling, was untouchable?"

Yun Xiaoling (Ji Yun) sneered, "Your usurpation of the throne is unjust. Sooner or later, the throne will return to the hands of my bloodline. All your conspiracies and tricks will eventually collapse."

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, with everyone's eyes fixed on Emperor Yuande, awaiting his next move. And at this moment, the struggle for power finally began.
