Chapter 886 Qualifications to compete for the throne
Ye Chen did not answer immediately, but the look he looked at Nangong Qin became a little complicated.
Whether it was his first contact with Nangong Qin or the time he spent together, he even thought that the neglected youngest prince was the least competitive and least ambitious prince.
Only now do I realize that I have been wrong sometimes.
The fact that Nangong Qin could say these words today proves that the ambition to compete for the throne was not a temporary idea, but that he should have had this idea a long time ago.
It's just that Nangong Qin has a deep scheming and good acting skills, so he deceived everyone.
Everyone mistakenly believed that the young prince Nangong Qin was just a humble gentleman who had no scheming and only wanted to protect himself.
"His Fifth Highness just talked to me about the meaning of life just to get me to serve under you?"
Wherever he thought, Ye Chen had a clue.
Nangong Qin frowned, but after looking at Ye Chen for a moment, he still nodded, "That's right!"
If it were normal times, he would definitely deny it with all his strength.
After all, anyone would be extremely repelled and disgusted by this kind of thing. If he admitted it, it would only confirm his hypocritical nature.
But when he thought about what Ye Chen had just said, he didn't like to beat around the bush in front of his friends, so he had no choice but to admit it.
With Ye Chen's intelligence, once he lies, he will definitely know it immediately.
Therefore, if he admits it bluntly, he may still be able to gain forgiveness and support.
Once he denies it, it will only be counterproductive given Ye Chen's character of refusing to take either soft or hard advice.
"Then why did the Fifth Highness choose to say these words to me tonight?"
Ye Chen asked again.
"Because tomorrow, I will participate in Princess Sara's marriage recruitment. Once successful, I will be initially qualified to compete for the throne!"
"oh?
I see!"
Ye Chen was instantly relieved.
However, when he looked at Nangong Qin again, he couldn't help but feel a little more wary.
In the sacrificial hall, when Nangong Qin took the initiative to reveal his identity and said that he would participate in Princess Sarah's marriage campaign, he also thought that besides helping him obtain the fairy root, Nangong Qin was just trying to ease the hostility between the two countries.
relation.
Now it seems that Nangong Qin's biggest intention is to use the entire Moon Worshiping Empire as a bargaining chip in his competition for the throne.
Although the Moon Worshiping Empire is small, it is still a neighbor of the Yong'an Empire, and its weight is no less than that of a large force within the Yong'an Empire.
Once the marriage is successful, Nangong Qin will indeed be qualified to compete for the throne!
"I admit that some of the things I have done may not be upright, but I respect you from the bottom of my heart, Brother Ye, and sincerely hope to get your full support!"
Seeing that Ye Chen still didn't express his position, Nangong Qin said impatiently.
"Does His Highness know about this?"
Ye Chen asked.
"Don't know yet!"
Nangong Qin shook his head.
"Aren't you afraid that His Highness will break up with you if he finds out?"
"Will not!"
Nangong Qin said categorically: "My second brother is not interested in fighting for the throne. The reason why he wants to return to the imperial capital is just to quell the internal fighting. If I can do this, not only will he not object, but will fully support me!"
"
After a pause, he asked again: "Brother Ye, can you give me a clear answer so that I can have an idea?"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment before nodding, "My purpose of coming to the Central Region from the Southern Region is just to improve my cultivation as soon as possible. I have no intention of participating in the court battle. However, since the Fifth Highness is determined to compete for the throne, he will do his best within his ability and does not violate the law."
Under the premise of my original intention, I will definitely help you!"
"Very good!"
After receiving Ye Chen's affirmative reply, Nangong Qin was immediately overjoyed, "With Brother Ye's support, why worry about succeeding in your hegemony?"
As if he was afraid that Ye Chen's decision to support was not firm enough, or that he might regret it temporarily, after a pause, he vowed to make some guarantees.
For example, he will definitely try his best to help Ye Chen get the Fairy Root, and after returning to the imperial capital, he will try his best to help Ye Chen find a way to refine the Emperor's Pill.
And if he successfully ascends to the throne, he can even show Ye Chen the Nangong family's imperial-level skills and combat skills.
Naturally, Ye Chen would not refuse the benefits promised by Nangong Qin.
It's not about power, it's about the fact that he came from the Abyss of Sin to the imperial capital of the Yong'an Empire to obtain these things.
Since helping Nangong Qin, the fifth prince, fight for the throne can bring these benefits, why wouldn't he do it?
"If there is nothing else, Your Highness, Fifth Prince, please go and rest first. I want to have a private chat with Li Fengyu!"
After the matter was settled, Ye Chen directly issued an eviction order.
The smile on Nangong Qin's face froze.
In fact, he also understood that the reason why Ye Chen ordered him to be kicked out was because he was a little disgusted with his request just now and did not want to continue chatting with him in depth.
But since he has agreed, given Ye Chen's character, he should not go back on his word.
After rolling his eyes a few times, he patted his forehead pretending to be aware of it, "Oh, look at me, my reaction is really slow. I've disturbed you for so long, and yet I'm still here refusing to leave!"
Zaiyi Wuxin glanced back and forth at Ye Chen and the two of them, and he pretended to be free and easy: "In this case, I won't disturb you anymore, farewell!"
After hugging Ye Chen and Li Fengyu, Nangong Qin turned and left.
Neither Ye Chen nor Li Fengyu spoke, they just watched Nangong Qin leave calmly.
"I really can't believe that the fifth prince's mind is so deep!"
It wasn't until Nangong Qin was far away from his sight that Li Fengyu said in surprise.
"Maybe this is the legendary saying that people should not be judged by their appearance!"
Ye Chen smiled bitterly.
"But you obviously don't like it, so why did you agree to it?"
"He is indeed very thoughtful, but he also has a sincere side towards me!"
Ye Chen sighed and said: "What's more, helping him ascend to the throne of God seems to be the most suitable result for both others and me!"
"Then do you think he can compete with other princes?"
Li Fengyu asked again.
"He is very smart and knows how to assess the situation and make the best use of everything. Compared to the second prince Nangong Kaige, he does have more potential advantages!"
"But by virtue of his marriage to the Moon Worshiping Empire, he competes with the other four princes. Don't you think this kind of capital is a bit weak?"
Li Fengyu smiled and said: "You must know that the Moon Worshiping Empire is not only small in area, but its overall strength is far from comparable to that of the Yong'an Empire. In addition, there is a struggle for the throne, and in the imperial capital of the Yong'an Empire, even if the marriage is successful, Worshiping the Moon Empire will
If the Moon Empire wants to help, I'm afraid it's beyond its reach."
"That's true, but..."
Ye Chen nodded first, then smiled mysteriously and said, "Didn't he already have our support?"
"us?"
Li Fengyu blinked his eyes, and then said angrily: "He just asked for your support, but he didn't ask me!"
"But doesn't my support equal your support?"
Ye Chen smiled slyly and said: "With the Skywalker power you control in the Tar Desert of the Western Region, for the fifth prince, it is also a force that cannot be underestimated!"
In response to this, Li Fengyu not only did not refute, but a hint of joy flashed in his beautiful eyes, "This fifth prince is really good at planning!"
"Ding-deng-deng!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of feet stepping on the wooden ladder.
Looking back, I saw a familiar figure appearing in the sight of Ye Chen and the two of them.
Wearing a light green dress, she has a curvy figure and a face as delicate as jade.
Although she doesn't have the mature charm of Li Fengyu, she is more beautiful and refined.
"Jin Lin, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Ye Chen asked subconsciously.
Li Fengyu, on the other hand, frowned slightly, and a hint of hostility flashed unnoticeably in his beautiful eyes.
Jin Lin came back and glanced at Ye Chen and the two of them. He didn't show too many emotions and just said calmly, "Sir, the high priest Nasim Padred is looking for you!"
