Listening to Gu Xuan's words, Ye Zhihuai said with a calm face: "Childe, don't laugh anymore." ”

Gu Xuan retorted: "Joke, it's Ye Shangshu, why didn't Ye Shangshu help when my father and emperor seized the throne back then, but now, what is the purpose of Ye Shangshu who values me so much, the most powerful and backgroundless fifth prince? Xuan was very interested. ”

Ye Zhihuai was subconsciously shocked, knowing that he was a little anxious, but he would never say anything about the task of the Holy Clan, so he could only continue to give up: "Childe's father needs Childe's help, I also have my selfishness, and the rest of the princes who have the ability and courage to participate in the succession have their own mothers as backers, only Childe is lonely, Childe needs me, I also need Childe, businessmen seek profits, we people are no different from businessmen." ”

"That night Shangshu can be regarded as the number one merchant in the Canghai realm, if I remember correctly, when the night book first came into contact with my mother, I was not yet a full moon. Gu Xuan looked directly at Ye Zhihuai's eyes unceremoniously, he still felt that Ye Zhihuai's purpose was not simple, although he had no interest in the throne, but he was very curious about Ye Zhihuai's secret, what was the black worm in that elixir, and the evil aura in his memory made him feel instinctive disgust.

Ye Zhihuai straightened up and calmly met Gu Xuan's scrutinizing gaze, he had been in the officialdom for thirty years, how could he be easily frightened by a young man.

"I have no choice, Childe is the same, the first method that Childe said, can be called betting, gamblers in the major casinos in the capital like this kind of play the most, bankrupts, nine times out of ten, but they gamble is just money, but if Childe wants to gamble, then the bet is fate, and Childe can guarantee that the second prince will be able to win? As for the second method, throughout ancient and modern history, many smart people have used this method to maintain obscurity, and there are not a few who finally ascend to the throne or spend their lives in peace, but this method is not suitable for the son. ”

At this time, Gu Xuan was a little curious, and couldn't help asking, "Why?"

Ye Zhihuai pointed to himself and laughed: "Because I am already here, I Ye Zhihuai is a secretary of the ministry, a member of the imperial court, and because Your Majesty is not one of those mediocre and incompetent people, if Your Majesty wants you to fight, you can only fight, that Jinglong, who is the sparring partner of the son, is His Majesty's personal guard, and he is a general of the Youzhou Army, these are all in the eyes of others, you can't hide from the son, you can control your own heart, can you also control the hearts of others?" Doesn't Childe want to think about how Childe, mother and son would be treated if someone else came to power?"

Ye Zhihuai didn't completely point out the old case this time, but Gu Xuan himself could think of it.

"Ye Shangshu has a good mouth, but it shouldn't be the intention of your father to come today, otherwise why do you say so much, my father said a word, I have to give in, I'm just an ordinary prince, if I don't fight, I may not die, what are you fighting for?" Gu Xuan didn't wait for the other party to explain, so he walked out directly, "Ye Shangshu should please go back, I have been practicing boxing for too long today, and I am a little tired." ”

Ye Zhihuai stayed in the living room with a calm face, and did not get up to leave immediately, his eyes were full of gloom, looking at the back of Gu Xuan walking out slowly, the fifth prince seemed to have no interest in the throne, but the order of the Holy Clan could not be disobeyed, not to mention that as he himself said, the other princes standing behind him were either the generals of the Zhu Kingdom, or the huge family, although he was a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, but he had neither a disciple nor a confidant of a very good friendship with him in the court, although the Ye family had been in politics for three generations, but in fact he was alone, the four words of the Ministry of Officials and Shangshu allowed him to get enough attention in any of the forces, but he had no chance to control the other party at all, in this way, it will not be able to complete the task assigned by the Holy Clan.

"The fifth prince, offended. Ye Zhihuai seemed to have finally made up his mind, he reached out and touched a human puppet from his arms, the size was no more than an inch, but it was finely carved, and Gu Xuan's appearance was not the slightest difference, and even his demeanor was exactly the same, he held the puppet, secretly exerted, and a hazy gray mist drilled out of Ye Zhihuai's cuffs as if it was a living thing, and slowly wrapped around the puppet.

After Ye Zhihuai carefully stuffed the puppet into his sleeve, he hurriedly shouted: "Childe stays!"

Gu Xuan hadn't gone far at this time, and as soon as he heard Ye Zhihuai's call, he continued to move forward without looking back: "Don't you remember to go out of the palace door? ”

Seeing that the other party was drifting away, Ye Zhihuai stayed directly in place, what was the situation?

How could it be? That was the second thought that popped into his head.

He knew some of the details of the so-called Holy Clan, which was a race that was completely different from these mortals, and for some of the methods used by the Holy Clan to control people, he had been a slave for three generations of the Ye family, and he had a deep understanding of it, how could this fail?

Could it be that there was something wrong with that pill? Impossible, it was the pill personally sent by the Holy Clan's envoy, so there could be no problem.

Could it be that the five princes have never taken it? That's even more impossible, the five princes are known to be stupid when they were young, it was completely a joke of the palace people after tea and dinner, he has also seen it with his own eyes, they are all five years old and still can't communicate with people, and they can't even learn to use chopsticks when they eat, and they are stupid to promote him, after the autumn hunt that year, Gu Xuan fell asleep for seven days, and then he became a smart child that the teachers of the Guozijian would praise, isn't this enough to show that the other party ate the pill he gave?

So why is this so? What the hell is going on?

Don't......

The gray mist in Ye Zhihuai's sleeve slowly swam back into his body, he pressed his arm, and thought carefully, the people of the Holy Clan, it seems that they can't stay in the land of the Terran for too long, and they can't even use spells at will, these are all some information that they have groped out in three generations, and the Imperial City of the Terran and some populous places are the forbidden places of the other party, every time the Holy Envoy comes, he will never stay for more than three minutes, which seems to involve some mysterious things about luck, and it also seems to be related to some ancient myths and legends.

And now he is in the very center of the imperial city, in the palace of the Liang Kingdom, maybe this is the reason why the spell fails?

He had a ghost in his heart, he didn't dare to make too much noise, he quickly stood up, and left with a gloomy face, the coming day is long, what he said to Gu Xuan is eighty percent true, some things are not something he wants to avoid, this is the common fate of the royal family of Liang Kingdom, Gu Xuan can't escape, one day he will understand, it's okay if it's not today, it's not good to alarm the holy envoy for such a little thing, save yourself from blaming yourself for being incompetent, and then it will be another torture, and today's matter will be settled.

And here, Gu Xuan listened to the sound of the other party walking away quickly, and also walked back to his room.

The throne, the imperial power, this is all things he has considered, but he really has no interest in the throne, since he opened his mind when he was five years old, his only long-cherished wish is to see the sharks that day again, but he has the position of the prince, but he has no real power status, although the Liang country and the shark have been cooperating for a long time, he has no ability to contact the other party's people, to learn more information.

Since he was a child, he has been accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of the people in the palace, deceitful and deceitful, competing for favor, he has an instinctive resistance and disgust for these, born in the emperor's family, maybe the greatest luck, or the biggest misfortune, even if it is a fluke to win the throne, what can it be, but it is just another disgusting cycle.

What's more, once he decides to fight, the lives of all those who are with him are completely tied to him, his mother's current life may not be happy enough, but at least it is stable enough, what reason does he, a son, have to let his mother take risks with him? She is so kind and simple, it is not easy to survive in this cannibalistic palace, and she must not let her mother fall into danger.

Gu Xuan thought about it and secretly made up his mind.

Night Zhihuai, I don't care what your purpose is, but you must have chosen the wrong person.

Gu Xuan smashed the stone slab used for practice in the room with a fierce punch, but the power that erupted brought about endless emptiness, this world made him feel a sense of powerlessness, even if he could defeat a strong man of Jinglong's level, could he have a good result, the character of these brothers, he couldn't be clearer after all these years, maybe he should do something, not for the second brother, but also for himself.

Gu Xuan looked at himself in the mirror and muttered to himself: "I heard that you are the youngest princess of the Shark Race, I wonder if you also have so many thoughts about our Terran?
