Ye Chen had no intention of kneeling down to salute, and there was no trace of nervousness on his face as he should have when facing a disaster.
In the face of countless pairs of surprised eyes, he showed a smile of relief and hugged Nangong Dou, who was suspended in the sky, "Junior Ye Chen, I have met the senior emperor!"
"Ye Chen, right?"
Nangong Dou looked down at Ye Chen on the high platform indifferently, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with interest: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Of course I'm afraid!"
Ye Chen nodded, "However, if senior wanted to take action, I'm afraid he would have done it long ago, and he wouldn't wait until now!"
As early as when he was brewing this plan, he had already taken the late emperor Nangong Dou into consideration.
And this was one of the reasons why he did not seize power and usurp the throne after taking control of the overall situation, but instead supported members of the Nangong royal family to rise to power.
No matter how much trouble he makes, as long as he doesn't usurp the dominance of the Nangong royal family, I believe Nangong Dou will not make things difficult for him.
Otherwise, before the death of Emperor Qingwu, the prime minister would have covered the sky with his hands, turned his hands into clouds, and turned his hands into rain.
Later, five princes competed for the throne, causing the imperial capital to become turbulent.
Since Nangong Dou did not show up to stop him at that time, it proves that as long as he does not touch the bottom line, there is a high probability that he will not be banned.
Of course, this is just speculation.
Whatever the truth is, it depends on what Nangong Dou will do next.
After all, what he did did alarm Nangong Dou, who had been in seclusion for decades.
It is impossible for the other party to just come out and say hello to you.
"So, you had expected that I would show up and not kill you?"
Nangong Dou said with a faint smile.
Ye Chen did not answer, but frowned slightly.
He did not dare to answer this tricky and pointed question easily.
If he answered "yes", it would be a disguised admission that he was plotting against Nangong Dou.
In this way, even if the other party really doesn't want to kill him, in order to prove to the public that he has not been calculated, he may kill himself.
And if the answer is "no", Nangong Dou will definitely not believe it.
After all, I just said it myself.
If you deny it now, you are cheating the other party.
When the other party is angry, he may also kill himself.
It can be said that his current fate only depends on Nangong Dou's thoughts.
There are enough reasons to kill or not to kill.
"Boy, you are quite capable at such a young age!"
Ye Chen did not answer, but Nangong Dou thought to himself: "You can actually influence the battle for the throne by yourself, and you can also play with the descendants of my Nangong royal family!"
"Senior is so complimentary!"
Ye Chen smiled dryly and said: "This junior just wants to end this unnecessary dispute as soon as possible, avoid more bloodshed and sacrifice, so that peace and prosperity can be restored to the imperial capital!"
"Do you think I will believe it?"
Nangong Dou asked rhetorically.
"That's the truth. If the seniors don't believe it, the juniors have nothing to say!"
Ye Chen shrugged innocently.
"The future life is terrible!"
Nangong Dou did not lower his thunderous anger, but smiled happily, "At such a young age, he is so scheming, and his own cultivation has entered the realm of the emperor. With such potential, his future achievements will definitely be limitless!"
"Thank you for your appreciation, senior!"
Ye Chen pretended to be frightened and said: "In front of the seniors, this junior's small achievements are just..."
"You don't have to be modest!"
Before Ye Chen finished speaking, Nangong Dou took over, "If I really want to kill you, it won't matter how nice you talk!"
"this……"
Ye Chen was a little embarrassed.
He just deliberately flattered her just to win the other person's favor.
After all, humans prefer to be flattered by others.
Even someone as strong as Nangong Dou should be no exception.
But now it seems that I must have flattered the wrong person this time.
"Although the conspiracy you devised to play around with the empire's top officials makes me a little angry, but..."
Nangong Dou changed the topic and said: "Your last action gave you a chance to live!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen secretly let out a sigh of relief.
It seems that my decision was right!
Even if everyone is fooled, as long as the people from the Nangong royal family are supported in the end, the bottom line should not be touched.
However, if you seize power and usurp the throne, the nature will be completely different.
That's a rebellion!
It was to overthrow the rule of the Nangong royal family and replace it with his own.
In this situation, Nangong Dou, as the guardian of the Nangong royal family, will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.
"Little girl!"
At this time, Nangong Dou turned his attention to Nangong Mingyue.
"What are your orders, Grandpa Huang?"
Nangong Mingyue said in fear.
"I'm your grandpa, am I that scary?"
Nangong Dou rolled his eyes and slowly descended from the sky.
"Uh... no, no!"
Nangong Mingyue smiled.
After all, she had a guilty conscience, so how could she really not be afraid?
You must know that the fact that she listened to Ye Chen's advice and prepared to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor was, in everyone's eyes, braving the world's disapproval.
Because the throne of the Yong'an Empire has always been passed down from male to female.
In the contemporary era, when there are five princes, she has forcibly succeeded to the throne. This is simply going against the trend.
"Little girl, don't worry, since Ye Chen forcibly supports you to rise to the top, it means you must be something special!"
Seeing what Nangong Mingyue was thinking, Nangong Dou waved his hand and said, "Grandpa Huang, I'm just curious. Among all your brothers and sisters, why would Ye Chen only fall in love with you?"
"this……"
Nangong Mingyue did not answer by herself, but instead cast a questioning look at Ye Chen.
"Senior, the reason why this junior assisted the little princess to rise to power is because of the following reasons..."
Ye Chen did not hide anything and immediately gave a rough description of the advantages and disadvantages of each prince and princess.
Finally, he pointed to Nangong Mingyue, "Although the little princess is a woman, she has a broad mind, a unique vision, and can see the situation more clearly!"
"The most valuable thing is that she has a compassionate heart that other princes and princesses do not have."
"So, no matter from which point of view, the little princess is the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne!"
Hearing this, Nangong Doushen nodded in agreement, "This little girl has clear eyes and a talent for cultivation. If her character is as good as you say, she is indeed the best successor to the throne!"
Immediately, he waved his hand and said: "However, these old men don't care, whoever has the ability can do it!"
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for making it happen!"
Nangong Mingyue was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to salute.
She also thought that her imperial grandfather Nangong Dou came out of seclusion just to prevent her from fighting for the throne.
Never thought that you don't care so much?
In secret joy, she immediately cast a grateful look at Ye Chen without leaving any trace.
Ye Chen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had just made such a big noise, and Nangong Dou, who had been in seclusion for decades, came out of seclusion in time. He thought that even if the other party did not kill him, he would definitely break his plan.
Unexpectedly, I actually acquiesced to my own approach.
He and Nangong Mingyue were relaxed, but those in the martial arts arena who still regarded Nangong Dou as a life-saving straw were completely dumbfounded.
"The late emperor actually acquiesced to Ye Chen's actions?"
"He actually agreed to the little princess inheriting the throne?"
"I originally expected the late emperor to come out and bring order to the chaos, but I didn't expect it would be such a result!"
"If the former emperors agree that the little princess will inherit the throne, then this matter has basically become a foregone conclusion!"
"Yes, even if the five princes regain their freedom, they will still be unable to recover!"
"Now that the fate of the five princes is over, everyone should stop having any illusions. The most urgent thing is to think about how to serve Emperor Chenyue in the future!"
All the civil servants and generals present were like this, and the five princes and princesses who were still imprisoned in the room at this moment were even more desperate.
