Chapter 271 [Shocking News] (Part 2)
"Darling, I'll ask you..." Carmen stood in front of Chen Daolin, leaning down on Chen Daolin's eyes: "Are all the words you said to Your Majesty today... are true? Those prospects, those ideas... are true, can you do it?"
Chen Daolin put down his cup and was about to speak, but Carmen suddenly waved his hand and continued to talk to himself.
"I believe what you said is true. Although others might think you are pretending to be a big talk and bewitching people's hearts, based on my understanding of you, you are not such a person. You have excellent talents, and compared to your age, you have achieved great achievements. So there is no need for you to tell such a big lie to seek a future. And... I believe in you!"
When Chen Daolin heard the last few words, he felt a little moved.
If you think about it carefully, this beautiful dean has always been very good to him. This kind of goodness is sincerely valued and appreciated without any utilitarianism.
"I think I was wrong before. I shouldn't let you meet Prince Hilo... People like you should stay away from politics and dangerous political games like fighting the throne. Fortunately, it's not too late now... I know that you have been busy with Wushuangfang for the past few days and have not gone to the Royal Villa, so... Now you don't have to go there anymore. Just pretend that I haven't said anything about this."
Chen Daolin showed a bit of embarrassment at this moment, and he smiled bitterly: "Dean... I am really moved and ashamed of your love for me. However, I still have to go to this royal villa."
"Why?" Carmen frowned: "Why do you have to get involved in this dangerous game again? Could it be...Does...Do you also want to speculate on this political game and make a fortune by fighting for the throne?Darlingchen, you are not such a person!"
Chen Daolin quickly explained respectfully: "Dean, you misunderstood! If you said these words to me yesterday, I would naturally be happy to withdraw from this matter! I would not want to participate in such dangerous things. I would be afraid of avoiding such things."
Speaking of this, Chen Daolin smiled bitterly and helplessly: "It's just... I have sent my disciples to the Royal Villa this morning to deliver the post. I made an appointment with Prince Hilo to visit tonight. Since it has been agreed, I suddenly said I would not go, I am afraid I will disrespect my Highness..."
Carmen couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this. Then she stamped her feet and sighed: "Hey! I have to blame me for this matter! Hey... You have already gotten better with Your Highness, so... You can't do it if you don't go. This way... You come to visit your home tonight and talk about the situation with Your Highness. You don't mention anything about the situation in the imperial capital."
Speaking of this, Carmen looked very solemn: "Darling! Now both me and Your Majesty attach great importance to you! How much shock will the words you describe today bring... I really can't estimate it now. But my instinct tells me that a young man like you must protect you well and must not let you lose in that boring and dangerous political game in vain! Remember my words, tonight, you go to meet His Highness the Prince, and only talk about the other things! Mingzhe is the first in self-protection, do you remember?"
Chen Daolin felt more and more moved, and nodded solemnly: "Dean, I've recorded it!"
Carmen got Chen Daolin's guarantee, but his expression was not relaxed at all. Instead, the worry between his eyebrows became more and more intense, as if it could not be resolved.
Seeing the dean frowning without saying a word, Chen Daolin asked in a low voice: "Director..., are you anything else that has something to worry about?"
Carmen looked up and looked at Chen Daolin. He was originally unwilling to say anything, but for some reason, looking at Chen Daolin's sincere and clear gaze, she suddenly moved her heart and sighed: "I think... I'm afraid I've made a serious mistake!"
Speaking of this, she shook her head again: "Fortunately, Your Majesty visits today... and you said those words again. This mistake can be corrected in time and will not cause too serious consequences. I... am not worried about His Highness Hilo, who was originally calm and did not like to fight for power. But you... I thought about something wrong before, but almost implicated you."
Chen Daolin was not a fool. After a little savor, he tasted a trace of unusual taste from these words of Dean Carmen. After thinking for a moment, his face suddenly changed: "Director... Could it be... what did Your Majesty say to you today?"
When Carmen heard this, his body was shocked and he stared at Chen Daolin quietly. After a long time, she smiled miserably. This smile made her look pale and her face seemed as pale as paper!
"Darling! Sometimes I am really curious about what kind of people, places, and environments they can train a guy like you." Carmen said slowly: "I appreciate your talent in magic very much, but you are not the traditional magician. You are very smart and smart, and your sense of smell in politics is also very keen... I really don't know what path is the best for you, and you won't waste your talent."
"Director, you really make me..." Chen Daolin was about to say a few humble words, but Carmen waved his hand and said slowly: "Darling, I just told you that when you go to see Prince Hilo tonight, you must not mention any situation in the imperial capital, and you must not get yourself involved in this situation! His Highness's villa, there is naturally the emperor's confidant in the guards. No matter what you say and do with His Highness, you will be on the emperor's desk the next day! Now you have been truly appreciated by the emperor because of this suggestion today - yes, I am talking about real appreciation! If Your Majesty treated you well in the past, he was still at the level of appreciation for a young junior. But this time it was different. I can feel that Your Majesty's attitude towards you has changed tremendously. Your Majesty has now regarded you as a real... useful and important person!"
Carmen's tone became more and more stern: "So, the status in Your Majesty's heart is hard to get, so you must not do anything extra! Otherwise, I'm afraid that all my previous efforts will be wasted. Once Your Majesty feels disgusted with you, then... everything will be ruined!"
Chen Daolin became more and more nervous when he heard this. He had already thought of a possibility vaguely!
According to Carmen's opinion, if he still lobbies Prince Hilo for the position of crown prince as planned, it will arouse the emperor's disgust and disgust, then...
"Director!" Chen Daolin said in a lost voice: "Did Your Majesty... He... had no intention of making Prince Shilo the crown prince?!"
Carmen's expression changed and he looked at Chen Daolin with complicated eyes. It took a long time before she looked bitter and nodded reluctantly!
"Yes... Your Majesty, I'm not here with Prince Hilo!!"
Although some signs have been seen from the frustration and worry in Dean Carmen's expression.
But at this moment, when this sentence was truly spoken from Dean Carmen's mouth, Chen Daolin was still shocked!
The emperor...what he actually wants to be with Prince Hilo?
Actually... it's not Prince Hilo?!
Whether in the city of the imperial capital or in the aristocratic circle of the upper class, the great masters of the empire, no matter which faction or position they belong to, although everyone doesn't say it, they are actually recognized in their hearts: in the suspense of the position of the crown prince, the one who is most likely to win the final victory is Prince Hilo!
Although Prince Hilo doesn't like power, ignores politics, is drunk with freedom and freedom, and is a good prince of the empire, he actually declines his identity and goes to study food - there are quite a few people who laugh behind him and call him "Prince of the Cook" behind his back.
But, no matter what, he is the emperor's younger brother!
This alone is enough to overcome many shortcomings!
He is the emperor's younger brother. Although he is a little free, he is not a bad character. He is not the kind of playboy prince who does evil. Except for saying that he is a little unemployed, the other reputations are quite good.
Most importantly, other competitors have huge flaws!
I won’t talk about those “real Augustines”, unless the emperor is mentally ill, he will hand over the throne to those guys—unless the emperor wants his clan to be completely extinct!
As for Goth, although it is also very outstanding, the military faction of Goth is too strong! And in terms of blood relationship, it is not as close as Hilo. The most important thing is that among Goth's supporters, some people are too bottomless in doing things, gathering a group of real political speculators. This will definitely make the superiors dislike it.
But...Carman now has the answer!
The Emperor... Don't choose Hilo! Don't choose his only brother!
Don’t choose this only person who can inherit the blood of the royal family!!
Then naturally the emperor’s choice is very clear!
He chose... Goth!!
But, this is really incredible!
How is it possible! How is it possible??!!
How could the emperor let his younger brother not choose but decide to hand over the throne to an outsider?!
As an emperor, he actually wanted to not pass the throne to his closest relatives, but gave it to outsiders. Thousands of miles of land and land were given to foreigners?!
Is the emperor's brain broken?
Chen Daolin couldn't believe it anyway. He couldn't help but ask: "Director...is this...is it true? You...can't you make a wrong judgment? Did Your Majesty... tell you his choice in person today?"
Carmen's expression was very bitter, and she shook her head slowly: "Your Majesty... I didn't say I wanted to choose Goths in person.
Chen Daolin nodded: "So, could it be that the dean, you were wrong?"
Carmen smiled bitterly, smiling reluctantly: "How can I misunderstand such an important thing? Although Your Majesty did not say it clearly, it was already very obvious."
"Hint? What hint?"
Carmen walked to the window silently, with his back to Chen Daolin, looking out of the window.
Her graceful and beautiful back actually looked a bit bleak.
After a long time, Carmen slowly said in a moodless voice: "Darling, I am afraid I can't watch the competition in the college the day after tomorrow, and I don't congratulate you on your victory almost immediately."
"…………What does it mean?" Chen Daolin suddenly felt a little bad.
"Your Majesty is here today and ask me to help him investigate the last night's ambush and assassination. And I don't know where Your Majesty got the news. It was about Lucifer... Your Majesty sent me to leave the imperial capital and go to the south to investigate the people behind the killer organization."
Buzz!
Chen Daolin felt his mind hot and he was stunned!
Carmen? Leave the imperial capital? Go to the south?
Now?!!
It's actually at this time?!
Carmen is the number one figure in the Magic Academy, and at the same time, she has always supported Prince Hilo on the issue of becoming a crown prince.
Carmen himself admitted this to Chen Daolin, and the emperor definitely understood it very clearly!
But at this time, the emperor had clearly announced that he would announce the candidate for the crown prince at the New Year celebration! But at this time, he sent Carmen away from the imperial capital and sent him far to the south!
Put a heavyweight who supports Prince Hilo far away...
Is this intention not telling the problem?
"Your Majesty does not trust me. If I think about it carefully, this is also the skill of being an emperor, and he has to do it. Any emperor would do it." Carmen shook his head: "Among those who support His Highness Hilo, I am the most eye-catching one. I have a transcendent status and have a vague relationship with the Tulips. Moreover, when I was assassinated, everyone would think that it was done by people from the Goth faction. So... If Your Majesty wants to establish Goth, he must be careful that I will object and dispatch me early to leave the capital. First, to ensure that there will be no problems, and second,... in fact, it is also to protect me."
Although Carmen said so, his tone was still a bit miserable.
After all, even Carmen himself believed that the person who assassinated him must be a supporter of Goth. Now the emperor intends to make Goth the crown prince. Even if Carmen is cold, he will not be without any grudges.
"But... But... But......" Chen Daolin was a little anxious: "Even if His Majesty sent you to leave the imperial capital... he might not be able to..."
"Your Majesty told me today that he had transferred Goth to the north and returned from the northern frontline! He took office as deputy commander of the royal city guards. This secret order has been sent ten days ago. Goths will return to the imperial capital before the New Year celebration."
Chen Dao finally sighed.
If this is the case, then things can't be saved anymore!
Although I don't know why the emperor made such a decision that unexpected to everyone.
However, before the founding of the crown prince, the heavyweight boss of the Hilo faction was sent far away, and then secretly ordered the Goth to return to the imperial capital, and before the founding of the crown prince!
If you don’t understand the emperor’s intentions like this, wouldn’t that be too idiotic?
Just as Chen Daolin was in deep thought, Carmen couldn't help but remind him: "Remember, Prince Hilo has no chance in this matter! So when you go to visit him tonight, you must not say anything you shouldn't say! Otherwise, it will be a big deal! The royal crown prince will never allow outsiders to interfere! And once the emperor's meaning is clear, if anyone dares to sing a opposite tune with the emperor in such a major matter that concerns the foundation of the country... Then, no matter who it is, no matter who it is, even if the emperor appreciates you, no matter how useful you are to the emperor, he will remove you without hesitation!"
Chen Daolin nodded quickly.
He is not stupid now.
When I first came to this world, I had not yet set my place in the right place and had no serious and correct understanding of this world. At that time, Chen Daolin was still a little 25-year-old, and he was confused and dared to work with Lodell to destroy the marriage plan of the Liszt family.
As a result, it almost caused a murderous disaster.
This kind of marriage benefit between wealthy families has already given up one's life.
What's more, the emperor is the crown prince this time! If you dare to break the emperor's plan, even if this handsome emperor falls in love with him, he will never tolerate it!
Chen Daolin is not now the mentality of "the first time I arrived at the noble realm". This world... cannibalize people!
