Chapter 281: Chapter 261: A Hint (One more update)

To Prince Yan Lin, the second prince, Prince Yan Li, the crown prince, wasn't an appealing choice. In his eyes, Yan Lin was always shirking responsibility, always leaving him to face danger upfront, as if expecting him to openly confront the Crown Prince to the point of injury, while he sat back to reap the benefits.

What a ridiculous expectation!

He had made it clear to Yan Lin that, in order to eliminate Crown Prince Yan Huisheng, they had to start with Zhou Gu. Yet, Yan Lin remained indecisive, insisting that the timing wasn't right. If this wasn't the right time, then when would be? Were they supposed to wait until Zhou Gu cinched a government position after the imperial examination?

Zhou Gu would undoubtedly rise to become Yan Huisheng's powerful weapon. Failing to eliminate him before he rose to power would spell massive trouble.
