Seeing Nangong Qin pretending not to bear it, Ye Chen remained calm on the surface, but his heart became cold.
Since ancient times, the battles for imperial power have mostly ended in passion!
It's so normal for brothers to kill each other and fathers and sons to kill each other.
He also thought that Nangong Qin, the fifth prince who was seemingly modest and low-key, might pay more attention to emotions.
Only now do I understand that the world is as dark as crows!
Under the temptation of supreme power, all brotherhood and comradeship are bullshit.
Knowing that Nangong Kaige's trip might be extremely dangerous, Nangong Qin not only had no intention of stopping him, but also fully expected something to happen to him.
What kind of peace of mind is this?
You must know that before this, Nangong Qin was persecuted and assassinated by other princes, so he wandered to the Western Regions to seek asylum from Nangong Kaige.
Better now!
Once the wings harden, instead of reciprocating, they bite back.
He had no doubt that if one day he threatened Nangong Qin or outlived his usefulness to a person who could abandon even his closest relatives at any time to achieve his goals, his fate would be almost self-evident.
"Brother Ye, you have to help me!"
Not knowing what Ye Chen was thinking, Nangong Qin begged: "In the imperial capital, the only one I can rely on now is you!"
"It's easy to talk!"
Ye Chen showed a bright smile and said, "I will do my best to help you if I can!"
As if he didn't want to talk to Nangong Qin anymore, he deliberately showed his tiredness, "Your Highness, it has been a bumpy journey and I just encountered a dangerous assassination. I am a little tired now. I want to take a rest first, so I will leave first.
!”
"Ah, it's true that this journey is really thanks to Brother Ye, otherwise it is still unknown whether we can return to the imperial capital alive!"
Nangong Qin suddenly realized it, slapped his forehead, and immediately asked his servants to prepare Ye Chen's room.
His attitude was quite sincere, but after what happened just now, Ye Chen was extremely disappointed with Nangong Qin.
He is now almost certain that the other party is a complete white-eyed wolf!
Maybe not before!
But under the influence of his desire for power, he has turned into an insidious villain who will do anything he can.
This kind of person no longer deserves his full support!
Nor is it worthy of the supreme throne!
…
"Dong dong dong!"
Just as he returned to the room, a door sounded.
"who?"
Ye Chen asked subconsciously.
"Nangong Mingyue!"
A familiar woman's voice came from outside.
"Little princess?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Can I come in and talk to you?"
Nangong Mingyue's anxious voice came from outside the door.
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Little princess, please come in!"
"Thanks!"
Nangong Mingyue responded, opened the door and walked in.
She frowned, her face full of sadness.
Stopping a few feet away from Ye Chen, she said straight to the point: "I'm here to ask you something!"
"What's the matter?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly.
He has always refused to take soft and hard advice, but what he can't stand the most is a woman's crying.
But Nangong Mingyue didn't care about this at all, and said to herself: "My father passed away, and we, the children, should have stayed by the bed to see him off for the last time!"
"Even if I don't get to see my father for the last time, I should at least be there for him and fulfill my last filial duty as a child!"
"However……"
She changed the topic and said with disappointment: "My brothers and sisters, instead of grieving for the death of my father, they started killing each other!"
"I am in this royal family, and I just feel this is an endless sadness!"
"If I had a choice, I would rather be just an ordinary daughter of a private family!"
Regarding Nangong Mingyue's confiding monologue, Ye Chen just listened quietly and never expressed any opinions.
It wasn't until the other party stopped talking that he asked, "Little princess, what's your purpose in telling me this?"
There is no trust without reason in the world!
Nangong Mingyue suddenly visited alone and told herself these things. It should be more than just finding someone to express her feelings to.
If the other party says this first, it must be related to the matter in which he asks for help next.
really……
"Master Ye, I know that you have unparalleled achievements in various fields. As long as you are willing, you may be able to support any prince to ascend the throne!"
Nangong Mingyue took a deep breath, stared at Ye Chen with burning eyes, and said pleadingly: "So, whether you want to help my second brother or my fifth brother, I hope you will minimize the killing as much as possible, and let go
Survive other princes and princesses!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised.
At this moment, he realized that he seemed to have ignored one thing all this time.
Nangong Mingyue, who has always been humble, cowardly and unobtrusive, is the real wise and foolish man.
You must know that except for him and Nangong Qin himself, no one knew that Nangong Qin also had the ambition to compete for the throne.
However, Nangong Mingyue had already seen it.
One can imagine how unique this little princess's vision is.
In addition, the other party also has a kind heart, which is extremely valuable.
You must know that other princes and princesses may be planning various conspiracies in order to defeat their competitors and win the throne.
Only Nangong Mingyue not only did not fight for it, but also grieved for the passing of Emperor Qingwu.
At this moment, he came to him alone, begging him to let the other princes and princesses live.
It can be said that among the many princes and princesses, Nangong Mingyue is like a breath of fresh air and seems so out of place.
"Master Ye!"
Seeing that Ye Chen was silent, Nangong Mingyue said again: "Although the battle for the throne has become so fierce that it is life and death, with your intelligence, there should be ways to avoid it, right?"
"Little princess, you may be flattering me a little!"
Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said: "I am just a newly arrived warrior, and I am not very familiar with the imperial capital. How can I influence the direction and outcome of the battle for the throne by myself?"
"Master Ye, now that things have come to this, please stop saying these polite words!"
Nangong Mingyue stared at Ye Chen with burning eyes, and said extremely seriously: "Can you tell me truthfully, will it be dangerous for my second brother to go to the General's Mansion?"
"How did the little princess see it?"
Ye Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised.
You must know that even Nangong Kaige himself can't tell the clues.
The fifth prince, Nangong Qin, also guessed this by studying the changes in his expression and what he said to Nangong Kaige.
I never thought that Nangong Mingyue could actually see it.
This was indeed beyond his expectation.
However, what surprised him even more was what happened next...
