His feelings for Sima Yunqi and his wife were not fake, Lin Yi could see that.
There were some things Lin Yi couldn't tell Liu Ziyu too clearly, like how he wouldn't be staying here for long.
So there was no way Lin Yi would sit on the throne himself!
As for handing it over to Sima Yunqi, it was not impossible. The problem was that if Sima Yunqi became the Emperor, the throne would belong to the Sima family!
Once Lin Yi left, Sima Yun would have no other sons, and it might end up with Sima Zhongyi and Sima Zhongxiao, these two idiots.
After all, the Sima clan was a large clan. Even if Sima Yun were to become the Emperor, it was impossible for him to be separated from the Sima clan!
After he passed away, the throne would definitely still fall into the hands of the Sima clan, and Liu Ziyu would have nothing to do with it.
Even if si Ma Yun could have stood his ground and passed the position to Liu Ziyu, wouldn't the outcome still be the same?
