Chapter 25 The battle for the throne officially begins
Xia Nanyue knew that Xiao Han would come to find her, because she still sent Xiaoman to walk around the street and tell herself everything she heard and saw, and she roughly knew what happened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xia Nanyue, who was reading a book, heard the creaking sound of snow at the door, and Luluo and Yulan stood up, wanting to see who it was, and as soon as they got up, a person in dark blue clothes walked in with the cold outside.
"Lord Wang."
"Let's go down."
Only Xiaoman was still sitting next to Xia Nanyue, motionless.
Xia Nanyue turned a page of the book, raised her eyes, looked at Xiao Han who was staring at Xiao Man, and said, "Don't you sit?" Roast your hands first, and finish the cold on your body. ā
Xiao Han was helpless and sat on the ground, but the two people opposite seemed to think that they were air, and all the opening remarks prepared on the road turned into cold and disappeared at this time.
Xia Nanyue glanced at Xiao Han, who was speechless, and covered the corners of her mouth with a book, then put down the book and said, "You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, say, what's the matter?" ā
Xiao Han's eyes flashed: "You won't be unaware of what's happening outside, right?" ā
Xia Nanyue didn't hide it, and smiled calmly: "I know, but why are you looking for me?" ā
was so calm that Xiao Han was a little speechless, Xiao Man looked at Xiao Han carefully, and said coldly: "Help,"
Xia Nanyue smiled, these are all what she told Xiao Man, Xiao Han will definitely ask her for help from the General's Mansion, Xiao Man is really like a child, straightforward and fast-talking.
Xiao Han's eyelids jumped, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, but he still opened his mouth, his voice was forbearant and a little sad: "Yes, I want to ask for your help, do you know how many lives were taken by the explosion today, and the blood is almost like a river." ā
Xia Nanyue sneered, with a maturity in her eyes that did not match her age, and said, "Human life? Doesn't the prince have a responsibility? If the prince didn't covet that position, how could he be targeted by the kings and princes? If the prince is not bent on seizing the handle of the former kings and princes, how can they be countered? They, such innocent soldiers, what do they know, they are just for your selfish desires, and their lives are in vain, and you are still living with me??!! ā
Xia Nanyue's impassioned words shocked Xiao Han a little, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, yes, isn't he also a murderer, and Xia Nanyue also stood up directly because of anger, standing with her back to Xiao Han, her back constantly rising and falling.
After a long silence, Xia Nanyue's breath stagnated, and she said at a very slow speed: "Lord, do you remember the night I first entered the palace, I said that I want to understand you, because I am the princess, and I am in the same boat as you, so you don't have to worry, I will discuss it with my mother, but I hope that the prince can think twice about doing things in the future." ā
Xiao Han got up, opened the door, his body paused, the cold air directly hit his body, Xiao Man got up and picked up the cloak and draped it on Xia Nanyue's body, Xiao Han still said: "I will discuss more with the princess before doing things in the future." And he left.
"You're going to help him?"
"Or else?"
Xiaoman shook his head: "I don't know, it's just..."
Xia Nanyue smiled dumbly and said, "It's just that he's using me?" I am his princess, what happens to him is also closely related to me, I am not helping him, I am just helping myself, the war is about to begin, and no one will stand outside the court. ā
"Oh,"
Xia Nanyue stretched out her hand and touched Xiaoman's face, and said with a smile: "Don't think so much, huh?" ā
"Yes,"
"Let's go, go to the General's Mansion, and you can also continue your unfinished discussion with my brother."
Xiao Man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded heavily.
As soon as she pushed open the door, Xia Nanyue couldn't help but shrink her shoulders, just to adapt to this cold winter wax moon, Xiaoman is much better, living in the ancient country of Nan has never seen snow, every step is excited to look back at the footprints that he stepped on, Xia Nanyue didn't speak along the way, looked at the red wall and white snow, it was very good-looking, but this beautiful scenery contains sinister, if you don't help King Chen, you will also become a dead soul under the Zhulian.
"Here we are."
Xiaoman grabbed Xia Nanyue, who was still moving forward, Xia Nanyue stopped, looked up at the snow-covered General's Mansion, and sighed: "It's so fast." ā
Xiaoman ran up and knocked on the door, and the door was opened by Liu Si, Liu Siyi looked at the person, and hurriedly said: "Miss, this cold day, why are you walking, hurry, come in." ā
"What about my mother?"
Liu Si closed the door, turned around and said, "I don't know, why don't I ask?" ā
"No need, I'll go find it, my brother, forget it, I'll go by myself, you can rest too." Xia Nanyue wanted to ask Xia Changyu, but after thinking about it, Xia Changyu was the master of the horse, and if he was dragged here, it would be no good.
Gu Yue knew that Xiao Han would definitely choose the move of the General's Mansion, so when Xia Nanyue came, Gu Yue was not surprised, and after pulling her daughter to sit down, she asked, "Is it because of the explosion?" ā
"What does Mother think?"
Gu Yue paused, her voice was not a little wavering, it was as ordinary as a daily meal, but yes, it made Xia Nanyue see the complexity of this power struggle.
"There is no prince who does not covet the throne, but in the end, the throne can only belong to one person, and now the one who is looking at the throne is the crown prince, King Chen, and King Li. Although the crown prince is not interested in politics, he is a good retraction for such an ambitious minister. Liwang is talented, but the whole person looks spicy, but he has a lot of brush for winning people's hearts. King Chen, he is the child of the former emperor, and some loyal ministers will collect his accounts, but he does not have an advantage over those two, especially since more than half of his garrison troops are killed and wounded. ā
Xia Nanyue was taken aback: "Then why does he still have to sit on the throne?!" Is that the location that good?! ā
"Do you think he's okay if he doesn't have ambition? Do you think the Calendar King will let him go? If King Li became the emperor, the first thing was to get rid of him and his henchmen, no emperor would tolerate the existence of powerful opponents, Emperor Jing Xiao Huan took over the throne that belonged to Xiao Han, and he was kind, so he let him be a prince and give him such a dislike for the garrison army. But if it weren't for King Chen's low profile and he didn't pose a threat to Emperor Jing's throne, do you think Emperor Jing would let him go?! ā
Xia Nanyue's face turned pale, thinking that competing with each other and having nothing to do is the best ending, it seems that this seizure of the throne is either your death or his death, even if it is a compatriot. Xia Nanyue stabilized her mind a little and asked, "Mother, what do you think of King Chen?" ā
"This is the second time you have asked me this question, at that time I said that he is very good, and now it remains the same, for the current situation, the prince's position is in jeopardy, and King Chen needs to be the same as you, Taoguang is obscure, only if you know how to show weakness, you are really strong, you are still too young. It is not easy to become a monarch. ā
Xia Nanyue took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyelids, and said, "So, I want to stand by his side, after all, I am the princess, and if he loses, we will not end well." ā
Gu Yue said with a smile: "You can think like this, it means that you have grown up, and you were the angry little girl a few months ago." ā
Xia Nanyue slowly lowered her head and said lightly: "I don't want to change either, but if I want to live, I have to bring out all my potential and the dark side of my hidden human nature." ā
"The winner is justice and light."
Xia Nanyue raised her head suddenly, a trace of shock flashed in her dark eyes, Gu Yue still smiled: "You will understand this sentence in the future." ā
Xia Nanyue kept repeating this sentence, feeling that her definition of justice and light in the past fifteen years had been completely subverted in this place in the capital, she didn't believe in this sentence, but she faintly believed it, but it was this secret belief that made her disgusted with herself like this, but looking at Gu Yue and thinking about her family, she understood that all morality can have no bottom line and principle in the face of love, she thought that if she killed an innocent person, she could save her mother or brother or one of the family, Then she will definitely not hesitate, even if she will have heartache, but the bottom line of such morality has fallen apart.
Xia Nanyue suddenly understood why she was a compatriot, but she could kill the killer, this was probably the magic of the throne, she understood, she understood, but she hated this annihilation of human nature.
Gu Yue continued: "Have you thought about stepping into this strange circle where black and white right and wrong will be reversed? ā
"Yes." Xia Nanyue paused for a long time, bit her lower lip, and slowly let go before she said, "Is it possible to do whatever it takes for the sake of the end?" Is it possible to give anything but life? ā
Gu Yue glanced at Xia Nanyue regretfully, she still shook her head when she wanted to nod, she didn't want her daughter to become such a pathetic person, and said: "No, at least I'm not, but that kind of person can often get what she wants most, but she will lose too much and too much of what she has to bear for a lifetime." Yue'er, you have to learn to weigh it, life may not be important at all in front of certain things. ā
Xia Nanyue's dark eyes finally lit up a little bit of hope, a smile slowly crept up the corner of her eyes, and nodded: "I was really afraid that my mother would answer yes just now, but, fortunately, mother, you didn't, I remember, mother, I really want to leave here, if I have the ability, let's leave the capital together, right?" ā
Gu Yue nodded, but she didn't know if this day would come, maybe her daughter was stronger than herself, maybe she would really get her wish.
Xia Nanyue continued: "How is Princess Yining these days? Is my brother okay? ā
"It's all good, Princess Yining still asks me about your brother's preferences, I think it's been more than four years, and the two of them should have a child, and Yining's nature is not bad, these days in the General's Mansion, your brother, he is proud of himself, and he will educate the princess every day."
Xia Nanyue couldn't help laughing, after all, it's a good thing for her brother to be happy.
