Chapter 1041 The real reason for leaving seclusion
Just thinking about it again, Ye Chen felt relieved again.
Since Nangong Dou has understood everything a long time ago, it is understandable that the other party did not stop him from supporting Nangong Mingyue to inherit the throne, but instead stood up to defend him!
First, I really have no intention of seizing power and usurping the throne.
Secondly, even though he intervened in the struggle for the throne and violated the authority of the Nangong royal family, he also calmed the dispute in disguise and avoided more bloodshed and innocent casualties.
Third, among all the contemporary princes and princesses, except for Nangong Mingyue, everyone else does have their own clues.
"how?
Do you still feel aggrieved?"
Seeing the pain on the faces of Nangong Lie and others, Nangong Dou coldly snorted: "You should be lucky that it is little girl Mingyue who will inherit the throne. Otherwise, if anyone among you takes power, he will definitely kill others, and even put them to death.
The whole imperial capital is in a state of uproar."
In this regard, Nangong Lie and others did not dare to refute.
It's not that I don't want to defend myself, but if any of them were to take the position, they would indeed launch crazy revenge and liquidation.
And those who were liquidated were definitely not only the leading prince and princess, but also many of his followers.
Even if they were able to spare the lives of several other princes and princesses in the end, they would either be placed under house arrest for life or exiled to the border. It was impossible for them to remain in the empire and threaten themselves.
So to a certain extent, Nangong Mingyue's succession to the throne is indeed the best choice for everyone.
"Whether you are still unwilling or not, this matter must end here. Do you understand?"
Nangong Dou glanced at the princes and princesses and spoke in a commanding tone.
"Yes, Grandpa Huang!"
"My grandson will obey the emperor's orders!"
"Grandpa Huang, don't worry, we know we were wrong!"
"We will do our best from now on to help my little sister manage the empire better!"
"From today on, we will definitely put aside our past grudges and support each other. We will not let you down, Grandpa Huang!"
Nangong Lie and others hurriedly made their pledges.
"very good!"
Nangong Dou nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Nangong Mingyue, "Little girl Mingyue, have you heard everything?"
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"
Nangong Mingyue nodded gratefully, "After my grandson inherits the throne, he will definitely work hard to live up to the emperor's high expectations!"
"in addition……"
She turned her head and looked at Nangong Lie and others, "My royal brothers and sisters, no matter what they have done before, I can ignore the past grudges."
"But, it won't happen next time!"
She glanced at Nangong Lie and others, and said earnestly: "Since we have the same blood flowing in our bodies, we must support each other and trust each other in order to consolidate the rule of the Nangong royal family. We can no longer scheming and intrigues as in the past."
"If anyone dares to form cliques in private and fight openly and secretly for their own selfish interests, don't blame me, little sister, for not caring about brotherhood!"
Nangong Lie and the others looked at each other, and everyone's expressions were extremely complicated, including shame, self-blame, regret... just to name a few.
Although there are still people who are unwilling to give up, Nangong Dou has spoken out for this reason, so the candidate for the throne is almost a foregone conclusion.
No matter how unwilling they are, they can't change the world!
"Don't worry, little sister. Big brother, I can promise you that I will do my best to assist you in the future. I will never have any thoughts of rebellion again, let alone do anything to harm other brothers and sisters!"
Beginning with the eldest prince Nangong Lie, all the princes and princesses specially expressed their loyalty to Nangong Mingyue.
Since then, the battle for the throne has finally come to an end with Nangong Mingyue's victory.
"Little girl Mingyue, Grandpa Huang still has something to discuss with Ye Chen alone. You can deal with the aftermath on your own!"
At this time, Nangong Dou suddenly cast a friendly look at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's heart "thumped" for a moment.
Why do you look at yourself as if you are looking at a treasure?
There is a conspiracy!
There must be a conspiracy!
With this thought in his mind, he asked cautiously: "Senior, what do you want to talk about with this junior?"
"It's nothing more than some life ideals. Don't panic, little friend, and don't be so vigilant. I have no ill intentions towards you!"
The smile on Nangong Dou's face became even more friendly.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Ye Chen felt.
This old guy must have some plans for himself.
Otherwise, what is there to talk about with a young man like yourself?
Is there still an ideal life?
Only a ghost can believe it.
Not only Ye Chen himself, but also Nangong Mingyue heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly followed and asked: "Grandpa Huang, what exactly do you want to talk to Mr. Ye?"
"Little girl Mingyue, what is your look like?"
Nangong Dou rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Are you still afraid that Grandpa Huang will eat Ye Chen?"
"That's not true. Grandpa Huang, don't get me wrong. My grandson doesn't mean that!"
Nangong Mingyue waved her hands and said: "My grandson is just curious and asked casually!"
"Well, since you are so worried, I will just tell you!"
Nangong Dou looked Ye Chen up and down and said awkwardly: "I want to ask Ye Xiaoyou for advice on some cultivation issues!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Chen almost fell to the ground.
Next to her, Nangong Mingyue, as well as several princes and princesses, were also stunned.
Their grandpa Nangong Dou was known as the strongest man in the Yong'an Empire decades ago, and was the guardian of the Nangong royal family. His cultivation had already reached its peak.
In this case, isn't it only for others to ask him for advice?
It's good now, but you have to go back and ask Ye Chen, a young man in his early twenties, for advice?
Is there any mistake?
"Senior, what you said... is really embarrassing to this junior!"
After a brief moment of shock, Ye Chen wiped away his cold sweat and said humbly: "Senior, you have been in seclusion for decades, and your cultivation has probably reached its peak, and you are only one step away from attaining enlightenment and ascension, right?"
"To be honest, it is precisely because I am only one step away from attaining enlightenment that I need your help, little friend!"
Nangong Dou glanced at the civil and military officials lying on the ground, and lowered his voice and said: "I am forcing myself out of seclusion this time just to get some advice from you, little friend, in order to break through the shackles!"
This sentence just barely made everyone present's jaws drop in shock.
You are about to achieve enlightenment and ascend, but you still need to ask a junior for advice?
Isn't this deliberately humiliating Ye Chen?
Ye Chen was also a little angry, and said in a deep voice: "Senior, I think I have little talent and knowledge, and I am a little impulsive and extreme in my actions.
If there is something that pleases you, just say it, and I will correct it by saying that there is no need for you to mock me in such a roundabout way!"
"Don't get me wrong, little friend Ye, I really don't mean that!"
Seeing that the misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, Nangong Dou had no choice but to put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "I really want to ask you some questions about cultivation, don't think too much about it!"
