And that is indeed the case. How could the Empress possibly be willing to pass on this supreme throne to someone she considered a disgrace and worthless scumbag?
What about her lovely children? In short, anyone can sit on the throne except the second prince.
As Feng Yuan Chu's popularity grew, the Empress summoned her most beloved children and plotted for a long time.
Not long after, on a pleasant morning, the Empress, unusually tender, approached Feng Yuan Chu. "Yuan... um, Chu, I've got some new fruit here. It's especially delicious. Come and try it with us after lunch."
Although I told myself to stop fantasizing, now...
Feng Yuan Chu unconsciously tightened his grip on the book, leaving fingerprints on it, before respectfully replying, "Yes, Mother."
However, before Feng Yuan Chu could finish speaking, the Empress had already walked far away, as if staying with him for even a second longer would be torture.
Watching his mother's hurried departure, Feng Yuan Chu felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Although he didn't know why she suddenly thought of him, it was, after all, the first time she had asked him to come to her palace since they had distanced themselves from him.
Although his heart was broken, Feng Yuan Chu, who had lacked love since childhood, couldn't help but feel a different kind of expectation in his already withered heart due to his deep longing.
Feng Yuanchu arrived on time. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he couldn't help feeling nervous and hopeful inside.
Before coming, he made a point of tidying up his appearance, and even changed into the same clothes he used to wear when his parents still loved him when he was a child.
Upon arriving at the Empress's palace, Feng Yuanchu saw the Empress sitting on the main seat, flanked by his eldest brother and fourth brother, with a dazzling array of fruits laid out on the table.
"Empress Dowager, Eldest Brother, Fourth Emperor..." Feng Yuan Chu hadn't finished his greetings.
A sharp pain shot through my mind, and I quickly collapsed to the ground.
Feng Yuan Chu struggled painfully for a long time, finally breaking out in a cold sweat, and forced himself to look up in disbelief at the group of people with smirking lips, "Mother! You..."
The eldest prince laughed and said, "Oh dear, are you scared? You don't really think your mother will call you to eat fruit, do you? Hahaha, you are so naive. Don't you know how much your mother has suffered because of you?"
Fourth Prince: "You trash, you are a disgrace to our royal family! If you can't learn to be humble, then don't be a human being at all! Die!"
The eldest prince and the fourth prince subjected Feng Yuan Chu to the most insults and humiliations.
But Feng Yuan Chu ignored what the eldest prince and the fourth prince said and just kept staring at the empress, hoping that she could give him an explanation.
The empress, seated in the main seat, gave him a disdainful look, then picked up a grape and began to eat it by herself.
"Hmph! What are you looking at, you bastard? You brought this all on yourself. You should have just kept your tail between your legs and behaved yourself, but you had to show off. Coveting is not something you should be thinking about."
After speaking, the Empress glanced at the First Prince and the Fourth Prince. "Da Bao, San Bao, let's get started. I don't want to see him again. Oh, and throw away these fruits too, they're dirty!"
"Hehehe!" Feng Yuanchu laughed. What was he really expecting? Hahaha, he was just a joke.
He initially thought they just didn't like him, but he never expected they would actually try to kill him. Hahaha, they would actually try to kill his own family members! This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing, and yet he had to witness it.
Feng Yuanchu used all his strength to stand up unsteadily, his gray eyes staring straight at the Empress.
"What did I do wrong? It's because I became your long-delayed second son that I'm so unforgivable. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want a mother like you. I'd rather be a child born from an artificial womb. This time, consider it repayment for your kindness in raising me. From now on, we are estranged!"
After saying this, Feng Yuan Chu completely lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
With a single glance from the eldest prince, the middle-aged man who had been standing guard to the side quickly approached Feng Yuan Chu and began performing a series of actions on him.
The fourth prince snorted coldly, "Hmph! What a piece of trash, still thinking about the future? If it weren't for the sake of caution, I would have killed you right now."
The Empress didn't take Feng Yuan Chu's words to heart at all, and just looked at the Fourth Prince gently, "San Bao, be good, it's always better to be safe than sorry."
Finally, the secret technique was complete. The middle-aged man, his face pale, said to the people seated there, "I have fulfilled my mission! Two..."
Realizing he had misspoke, the man quickly corrected himself, "His memories have been altered. Now he only thinks he's an ordinary person struggling on a garbage planet. Plus, with his mental strength collapsing, he won't live much longer."
The Empress glanced at him. "Well done! Drag him away. Remember! Make sure no one finds out."
"Yes!" The man packed Feng Yuan Chu up and took him away, dumping him on the worst garbage planet.
As for why she didn't kill Feng Yuan Chu directly, it was mainly because the Empress couldn't bear to see her precious son's hands stained with the blood of his compatriots, and this would also give her a better explanation to the outside world.
They will then announce to the public that the Second Prince has disappeared, and after some time, his body will be found in the garbage. This way, they can extricate themselves from the situation and no one else will have anything to say.
Also, she didn't want to be Feng Yuanchu's mother at all. The trashy people on the trash planet were a perfect match for him, so she didn't want to be near them.
Originally, everything seemed perfect, and Feng Yuan Chu was destined not to survive. But man proposes, God disposes, and they never expected that there would be such a variable as Lu Man Man.
Who would have thought he would want to eat fruit before he died? If I had known, I would have given him all the fruit.
Before this, if anyone had told her that fruit could cure mental illness, she would have sent them to a mental hospital; it was simply a fantasy!
In short, with Lu Manman's intervention, Feng Yuanchu not only regained his mental strength but also remembered everything.
Upon recalling everything, Feng Yuanchu completely lost all thoughts of family. He had no family; his only source of warmth came from the owner of the best fruit and vegetable shop in the interstellar space.
Do they want the throne? Ha! If that's the case, then he'll not let them have their way. How can someone who can be so ruthless to his own family be a good ruler?
Feng Yuanchu glanced at the people who had been monitoring him. They clearly thought he was going to die and didn't take him seriously at all, continuing to play games.
He looked at Feng Yuan Chu in horror when Feng Yuan Chu walked up to him, but when he looked directly into Feng Yuan Chu's eyes, he froze.
Completely losing its own consciousness, it obediently followed Feng Yuanchu's instructions and reported the success to its superiors.
Not long before the incident, Feng Yuanchu had awakened the Feng family's most rare skill: Illusion!
The founding emperor was the first, while Feng Yuanchu was the third.
