In the Emperor House, favored or wise offspring could ascend the throne, displacing the legitimate heir, a practice known as usurping the throne.
Zhong Tianque and Zhong Tianyi were brothers born of the same parents.
However, should Zhong Tianyi desire power, he would have no choice but to eliminate his elder brother, Zhong Tianque.
After all, Zhong Tianque was the eldest son and the Crown Prince, holding the moral high ground.
Hearing Zhong Tianyi ask if he could become that "person of destiny," Lu Yunhang's first thought was that he intended to usurp the throne.
Only if he occupied a high position, becoming the supreme ruler, would he have the chance to polish the dust off the pearls and elevate their status.
Otherwise, why?
Zhong Tianyi smiled without speaking but gestured an invitation, saying, "Dean Lu, please sit down for tea. I have set up a small clubhouse by the sea; when idle, I come here to drink tea and listen to the sea—it's quite a peaceful and quiet place."
