Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Nangong Tianlin interrupted her, "Whether I am Nangong Tianlin or not, how can you be so arrogant? Lu Qianyun, even if I die, it is not your turn to inherit the throne. My brother has poor orphans in the world. He is the legitimate prince of Haoyue. Who do you think you are?"

Lu Qianyun set her eyes on Wang Tianbao standing behind Nangong Tianlin, wanting to deny that he was Nangong Qi's son, but she realized that even if she said it, no one would believe it, because Wang Tianbao looked exactly like his father!

The important officials in the court identified him almost immediately; he was the prince who had been missing for many years.

Lu Zhu had calmed down from his surprise and horror. He stood beside Lu Qianyun and said, "Come here, arrest those thieves who are pretending to be the late emperor."

Nangong Tianlin looked at them with a gloomy smile, "You two are in cahoots with each other, do you really think I am a dead man?"

None of the pawns who had originally obeyed orders from Lu Qianyun and the Imperial Master dared to move.

Lu Qianyun's expression changed drastically. What was going on?

Nangong Tianlin pointed at several generals who held military power in the court and said, "They may betray me, but they will not completely betray my brother, and they will certainly not be bribed by some of you to kill my brother's son."

He moved aside, motioning Wang Tianbao to come to the front, and said to everyone in the hall, "This is the son of my brother Nangong Qi, the only prince of Haoyue. At that time, I snatched the throne from my brother. Today, I will return the throne to his son. Who among you has a different opinion?"

No one left the magnificent and solemn hall.

Suddenly, the big man in the front wearing the dark blue military official robes knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness the Prince."

Lu Zhu looked gloomily as he saw more than half of the officials in the court kneeling quietly beside Wang Tianbao.

Nangong Tianlin raised his hand and said, "Catch these two thieves, Lu Qianyun and Lu Zhu!"

"Nangong Tianlin! I have buried five thousand soldiers outside the capital. As long as I give the order, they will attack the city. You..." Lu Qianyun was so angry that her three corpses jumped up and down, and smoke came out of her forehead. She didn't expect that the result of her perfect plan for many years would be destroyed so perfectly in the end.

"Do you really think that a man like Haoyue would obey the orders of a woman like you?" Nangong Tianlin curled his lips and mocked wantonly, "You are dreaming. Take them down directly, escort them to the top of the city wall, chop off their heads with great force, and hang their heads upside down on the city gate!"

Lu Qianyun screamed loudly, "Nangong Tianlin, you have clearly been poisoned, how come you are still alive? Why!"

"I'm just playing with you." Nangong Tianlin said with a mocking smile.

In fact, his body was indeed invaded by the poison. If it were not for his profound inner strength, he would have died long ago and would not have survived until now. Later, he realized that Lu Qianyun had colluded with the national teacher and bribed the officials in the court with benefits, so he pretended to be ill on purpose, wanting to completely clear out the termites in Haoyue for his nephew.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qianyun would dispatch people to rob and kill his nephew, so he had to secretly ask people to protect them, and then stepped up his pace, wanting to expose Lu Qianyun and Lu Zhu completely...

Afterwards, his nephew took the initiative to contact him, and they made arrangements in secret, which led to the situation of fake death today.

His frequent displays of weakness during this period did not mean that he was careless about national affairs, nor did it mean that he was unaware of who had completely betrayed him. Moreover, without his silent consent and arrangements, how could the generals commanding the troops of Haoyue be willing to rely on Lu Qianyun and Lu Zhu?

He just wanted to help Jing'er clear up the evil hearts of people.

This is what he owes his brother and Jing'er!

……

Lu Qianyun and Lu Zhu's men had long been subdued with special funds, and the jurisdiction of the palace was once again in the hands of Nangong Tianlin. Together with those officials in power who had been bribed by Lu Qianyun with benefits, a total of 25 officials of all ranks were killed this time.

As for the relatives of these officials in power, thanks to Wang Tianbao's insistence, they were not implicated and directly executed.

But Lu Qianyun and Lu Zhu had the most miserable fate.

Wang Tianbao ordered his men to disfigure Lu Qianyun and sell her to a brothel, leaving her in a state of despair, in order to avenge Guan Hualang.

As for Lu Zhu, his head was chopped off and his bloody and lifeless body was hung upside down on the city gate.

Fifteen days had passed after I finished dealing with all that.

Inside the magnificent palace, Wang Tianbao was dressed in a golden silk gown and wore a jade crown on his head, which made him look extremely beautiful and graceful, as if he was handsome and elegant. He stood upright in front of a long couch, looking at the man lying on the bed with a cold expression.

"You look so much like your brother." Nangong Tianlin covered his mouth and coughed intermittently. His pale face was covered with white spots, looking unhealthy.

"Nangong Tianlin!" Wang Tianbao shouted these words loudly with deep resentment.

"I know you hate me. I killed your father and your mother. Even if I return the throne to you today, you will not forgive me." Nangong Tianlin smiled and said, "I can't live for a few more days. If you want to kill me to avenge your hatred, you'd better do it quickly, otherwise there will be no chance."

Wang Tianbao asked calmly, "Why are you willing to help me?"

"Haoyue is the majestic mountains and rivers of the Nangong family. Even if I don't want to, I don't want to see Haoyue fall into the hands of that lowly embryo. You are the most suitable person to inherit the throne of the Nangong family." Nangong Tianlin said.

"Have you been pretending to be sick for more than six months? Just to lure me to find you?" Wang Tianbao asked.

Nangong Tianlin laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "You have asked this question before, so there is no need to ask it again. The reason why I came back to find you is very simple. I can't give birth to a son. This is a kind of cause and effect. I return this throne to you. I am tired of sitting on it. It is not as fun as I imagined at that time."

Wang Tianbao clenched his hands into fists, "You killed my father, the Emperor, and took the throne just for fun?"

"I guess... that's indeed a good idea." Nangong Tianlin nodded with amusement.

Wang Tianbao almost wanted to kill him with a powerful slap, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be too easy for him.

“Even if you don’t have much time left, I won’t let you die like this. In the days to come, you just kneel quietly beside my father, the Emperor, and sincerely repent.” Wang Tianbao said coldly.

Nangong Tianlin said, "Anyway, the entire Haoyue is yours now. Even my most loyal subordinates now only recognize you as their master. What else can I do?"
