Chapter 151 Succession to the Throne

She lay on the bed, gently stroking her slightly bulging belly with her hands, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.

She knew that her words had already planted a seed in Lu Ming's heart.

Next, it depends on how this seed takes root and sprouts.

The moonlight is like water, flowing quietly in every corner of the Prince's Mansion.

Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan slept in each other's arms, their breathing intertwined, as if playing a beautiful piece of music.

At this moment, Lu Ming was sitting alone at the desk, brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about some important issue.

His fingers tapped the tabletop lightly, making a rhythmic sound.

Suddenly, he stopped moving his fingers, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, stood up and walked out of the room.

He walked through the corridor, came to the door of Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan, and knocked gently.

"Who?"

Lu Shengyuan's vigilant voice came from the room.

"Father, it's me, Ming'er."

Lu Ming's voice was calm and firm.

The door opened and Lu Shengyuan, wearing his coat, stood at the door, looking at Lu Ming with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Ming'er, it's so late, what's wrong?"

Lu Ming took a deep breath, looked up at Lu Shengyuan, with a determined light in his eyes.

"Father, I have something to discuss with you."

Lu Shengyuan raised his brows slightly when he heard this, but then he moved aside to let Lu Ming enter the room.

In the room, Lin Wanqing was also woken up. She sat up and looked at Lu Ming with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Lu Ming stood in the middle of the room, took a deep breath, and then spoke slowly.

"Father, I want to discuss with you the succession to the throne."

As soon as he said this, the whole room fell into silence.

Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing looked at each other, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

They didn't expect that Lu Ming would take the initiative to bring up this topic.

Lu Shengyuan was the first to come back to his senses. He looked at Lu Ming with a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Ming'er, you've grown up and know how to think about these issues."

He paused before continuing, "However, the succession to the throne is not something you can decide alone. It depends on your own ability and performance."

When Lu Ming heard this, he was shocked. He knew that his father was telling the truth.

He took a deep breath and then spoke slowly: "Father, I understand what you mean. I will try my best to behave myself, but..."

He paused here before continuing, "I just hope my father can give me a chance to prove myself."

Lu Shengyuan raised his brows slightly when he heard this, but then he understood what Lu Ming meant.

He nodded slightly, a hint of relief in his eyes.

"Okay, Ming'er, I will give you this opportunity to prove yourself."

Lin Wanqing also spoke at this moment: "Ming'er, you are a good child. Mother believes that you can do well."

When Lu Ming heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He clenched his fists tightly, with a determined glint in his eyes.

"Father, thank you. I will definitely work hard to prove myself."

After Lu Ming left the room, Lin Wanqing's eyes followed his departing back.

It was not until the door slowly closed that she withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Lu Shengyuan.

"Shengyuan, you're not even dead yet, and your son is already plotting the throne. This kid has some serious ambitions."

There was a subtle hint of complex emotions in Lin Wanqing's voice, including surprise and a bit of worry.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan sighed softly, his eyes deep.

"Wan Qing, I know you have some prejudice against Ming'er, but his actions today, although drastic, also revealed his determination. This courage should not be easily erased by you and me."

Lin Wanqing shook his head slightly, a hint of worry furrowing his brow.

"I'm not completely denying him, it's just..."

She seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she had something to hide.

"Just what?"

Lu Shengyuan asked, his eyes full of concern and understanding.

Lin Wanqing hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"I'm just worried that he's too eager for quick success and will go astray. The fight for the throne has always been cruel and ruthless. I'm afraid of him..."

She didn't finish her words, but Lu Shengyuan already understood her concerns.

"Wanqing, I understand your concerns."

Lu Shengyuan's words revealed determination and trust.

Lin Wanqing nodded, but the worry in his eyes had not completely dissipated.

"I hope so." She said softly, then sighed.

It was late at night, and the moonlight still sprinkled like water in every corner of the Prince's Mansion.

At this moment, Lu Ming was lying on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The conversation he had just had with his father kept echoing in his mind, and his heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness.

He knew that he was about to face an unprecedented challenge, but he also firmly believed that he would succeed.

Just then, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps outside the window.

Lu Ming frowned slightly, and a sense of vigilance surged in his heart.

He stood up gently, walked to the window, opened it carefully and looked out.

I saw a black shadow moving quickly in the Prince's Mansion, as if looking for something.

Lu Ming's heart tightened. He knew that this black shadow was definitely not from the Prince's Mansion.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, then jumped out of the window and chased after the dark shadow.

A thrilling chase suddenly broke out in the Prince's Mansion.

Lu Ming followed the black shadow closely, constantly shortening the distance between them.

Finally, in a remote corner, Lu Ming successfully caught up with the black shadow.

He rushed forward and pinned the dark figure to the ground.

"Tell me! Who are you? What is your purpose in sneaking into the Prince's Mansion?"

Lu Ming's voice was cold and firm, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

The black shadow was subdued by Lu Ming and was unable to move.

He looked up at Lu Ming, a trace of fear and helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"I...I'm just a thief who wanted to come in and steal something."

The thief's voice was trembling and weak, as if he was intimidated by Lu Ming's majesty.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming frowned slightly.

He stared at the thief's eyes, as if trying to find some clues from them.

"Is it really just a thief?"

There was a hint of doubt and disbelief in his voice.

The thief felt a little guilty when Lu Ming stared at him. He quickly lowered his head and did not dare to look at Lu Ming.

"Really...really, I'm just a thief."

His voice became even weaker, as if he was afraid that Lu Ming would not believe him.

Lu Ming stared at the thief for a moment. Although he had doubts in his heart, he could not find any flaws.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then spoke slowly.

"Okay, since you say you're a thief, I'll believe you for now, but you have to remember, if you dare to sneak into the Prince's Mansion again, I won't let you off easily!"

There was a hint of majesty and warning in Lu Ming's voice, which made the thief shudder involuntarily.

"No...I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again."

The thief begged for mercy quickly, fearing that Lu Ming would punish him.

After hearing this, Lu Ming loosened his hand and let the thief go.

As soon as the thief was free, he immediately fled the scene.

Lu Ming looked at the thief's departing back, and a hint of depth flashed in his eyes.
