"Betrayal? Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Yerunan stood up, walked to the table, reached out and touched the teapot on the table. It seemed to be still warm. He poured himself a cup of tea and said slowly, "You have never been loyal, so how can you betray me?"
"Before, my father was the regent of the Liao Kingdom, and now he is the legitimate king of the Liao Kingdom. As a native of the Liao Kingdom and a member of the Yelu family, if you are not loyal to your father, who are you going to loyal to?" The exposed eyes of the man in black showed coldness. The light said, "I know that you and A-Lan have a very good relationship. You two grew up together, but what you did is unusual. You are doing something under your father's nose. Are you a little too brave? "
"You are... Your Highness Princess, your logic makes me feel very strange." After drinking the tea, Yerunan sat back on the bed again, put the long sword in front of him, and sneered, "Because uncle is The regent is the king of Liao, so we must obey him, is that what you mean?"
"Is there anything wrong?"
"Shouldn't it be that he is a relative of us, my uncle, and the father of you and A-Lan?"
"Is there any difference?" The man in black cleared his throat, "Anan, don't change the subject, this is not what I want to talk to you about."
"Your Highness Princess, you...have been in Jiapingguan City for almost sixteen years, right? Have you never thought about why you are the one here and not others?"
"You...what do you mean?"
"Don't you understand now?" Yerunan said in a very pitiful tone, "From the time you were born to now, everything you have experienced has been planned by others. Even when your mother gave birth to you, They were also plotted. And the person who plotted against you two... Needless to say, you know who it is, right?" Seeing the disbelief in the eyes of the man in black, he sighed softly. His tone was, "Don't look at me like that. Everything I say is true. It was said by the good father you spoke of, my respectable good uncle."
"I...I don't understand what you want to express." The man in black turned away from looking at Yerunan, "You just need to give me an answer now, are you going to betray your father, are you going to...rebellion? Or... seek power and usurp the throne?"
"Rebellion? No, this crime is too big and we can't afford it. As for seeking power and usurping the throne, that's out of the question. We just..." Yerunan pondered for a moment, "Well, we want to change the history of our country. It’s just the status quo.”
"It sounds nice to say it, but in fact, it's just that you want to betray your country and seek glory for your own interests." The man in black snorted coldly, "You have already united with the Shen family army, and you still say you are not treason?"
"How about this, let's put aside our prejudices and talk about this matter." Yerunan looked at the man in black seriously, "You have been in Daxia for many years, what are the young people here like? You are better than us We all know it. As for our young people in the Liao Kingdom and our Linhuang Mansion, when they open their eyes every day, they are not thinking about how to practice their kung fu well or how to enrich their knowledge, but how to scheming with their opponents. Get rid of the so-called opponents. In the current court, when the court goes up, either one family quarrels with that family, or the South Court quarrels with the North Court, or the civil servants quarrel with the civil servants, and the military generals quarrel with the military generals. In short, from top to bottom, Everything down there is a mess." He looked at the man in black, "Your Highness, do you think this kind of court should continue?"
"But……"
"Nothing but, if we continue like this, we will be severely left behind by Daxia."
"But...what does this have to do with father?"
"Uncle is the regent and the person in power. Without his acquiescence and guidance, do you think the situation would be like this?" Seeing the man in black being silent, Yerunan sighed, "He is just a man of his own. The person who is careful and scheming is able to sit in the position of regent because of his calculations. I have just said that your birth is also a calculation of his. As for A Lan, his situation is different from yours. There is no difference. As far as I know, before your mother, your uncle already had three concubines. They also had children, and they were all boys. They died of various accidents not many days after birth. ”
"You mean... my father wants to have an eldest daughter born out of a concubine, rather than an eldest son born out of a concubine? Why?"
"Why? Your own experience has already explained something. My uncle needs a concubine's eldest daughter, who was thrown into the war-torn border when she was very young, as the most solid nail he planted in Jiapingguan City. And the boy In comparison, girls are easier to protect, less likely to be suspected, and more able to establish themselves in a strange place. Facts have proved that his assumption was correct, and you did even better than he imagined."
"Oh, is this a compliment?"
"That's right. Anyway, I heard him and his confidants praising you more than once, saying that you inherited his ruthlessness." Yerunan paused for a while, listened to the movement outside the house for a while, and after confirming that no one was there, he continued, "You A year after leaving Linhuang Mansion, A Lan was born. As the regent, my uncle must have an eldest son, no matter how reluctant he is."
"Unwilling?" The man in black nodded, "I heard that his princess was not his beloved, and his beloved passed away before marrying him, so he had to obey his elders' wishes and marry her. A princess. So, is this why he would rather trade the princess’s life for his own?”
"Beloved one?" Yerunan raised his eyebrows, "The person that my uncle loves the most in his life is only himself. Anyone else is a tool that he can use. Your Highness, Princess, you are still too naive."
"But, no matter what, my father is now the King of Liao, and A Lan is the prince. Sooner or later, this throne will belong to him. When he becomes the King of Liao, I will have no objection to whatever you do. You are now In this way, don’t you think it’s too much to mobilize troops and mobilize people? Even the people of the Shen family are involved, aren’t you afraid of stealing the chicken but losing the rice? You didn’t get what you wanted, but instead brought the Liao Kingdom into it? "
"Can the Liao Kingdom wait until that time?" Yerunan sighed, "Your Royal Highness, I know how the late king passed away, and you also know it. Before he passed away, he secretly sent someone to find A Lan and enter the palace. , I hope he can push his uncle off the altar, and I hope he can make the Liao court look brand new."
"Is this... the late king's last wish?"
"Yes, this matter is of great importance, I dare not make false claims." Yerunan raised his head and looked at the roof, "To be honest, I have always looked down on this cousin. I think he is submissive and has no heroic spirit. . But he did not hesitate to fight with his uncle with his own life, which I admire very much. Therefore, I want to fulfill his instructions. Your Highness, the living people cannot do nothing, and we cannot let the late king’s Resistance has become a joke, right? What's more, we can't just watch the children of the Yelu family become victims of their uncle's road to power one by one, right?"
"I understand what you mean, the late king... He is the hero of our Yelu family and deserves our respect."
"So, I implore you to think carefully about my proposal and create a new court with us." Of course, I won't force you to stand on our side, and if you want to tip off, I won't stop you. . "Yelunan looked out the window, "You've been out for a long time, it's time to go back! "
The man in black nodded, stood up and walked slowly to the door. He stood there for a while and sighed softly.
"Even if I am not in Linhuang Mansion, I know what my father will do to the betrayer. You and A Lan are both my brothers. I will not watch you die in front of me. So, what do you want to do? Just go and do whatever you want, don’t worry I will tell you, I won’t do that, don’t worry!”
"Then thank you, Your Highness, Princess!"
"I hope you can get what you want and not waste this opportunity that the late king gave you with his own life."
After saying that, the man in black opened the door and disappeared in front of Yerunan in an instant.
