Su Xian thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "It's not impossible."
Chen Keyan was immediately overjoyed and excitedly grabbed Su Xian's hand and asked, "Young Master is really willing to marry me and help me ascend to the throne?"
Snapped!
Su Xian slapped her hand away and glanced at her with a slanted eyebrow. His eyes were very ugly, as if to say: "What the hell are you thinking? God, I will marry you..."
"There is no need to talk about the emperor's husband. What I'm talking about is helping you ascend to the throne."
Su Xian looked serious.
He was thinking about how to implement the backup plan these days. If Li Youqing failed to seize power, he would not want to accompany Li Youqing to death because his own life was still at stake.
As the saying goes, "If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth." Although he will not take the initiative to harm others, he will never harm himself! Living is more important than anything else.
Just now, when Chen Keyan entered the study wearing a dragon robe, a thought came to his mind——
Secretly helped Chen Keyan ascend to the throne of Nanchen.
Leave a way out.
"Anyway, if the young master helps me ascend to the throne, the young master will be Nan Chen's royal husband!" Chen Keyan showed off her little daughter's unreasonable side.
"Don't talk nonsense." Su Xian glared at her, "Tell me what's going on in Nanchen. Although I've heard about it, it's not comprehensive."
Chen Keyan knew that the opportunity was rare. Although she didn't know why Su Xian agreed to her, she couldn't care less. She immediately looked solemn and slowly told Nan Chen the current situation...
To put it simply, Emperor Nanchen, Chen Keyan’s father, did not establish a heir apparent for some reason.
Currently, there are only two princes who have the ability to compete for the position of crown prince, namely "King Li" and "King Tian".
King Li, the son of Queen Nanchen, was the legitimate son but not the eldest son. The Queen's family was very powerful in Nanchen.
Prince Tian was born to Emperor Chen's noble wife. Although he was the eldest son, he was not the son of the queen.
As for Chen Keyan's mother-in-law, she is another noble concubine of Emperor Chen. She is a twin sister to King Tian's mother-in-law, so Chen Keyan is closer to King Tian.
She also secretly helped King Tian fight for the position of crown prince.
Although Chen Keyan wants to be the queen, she knows that it is impossible. Supporting Prince Tian, who is closer and easier to control, to ascend to the throne is currently her ultimate goal...
After listening to her story, Su Xian frowned and asked:
"As Princess Nanchen, how can you intervene in the fight for the crown prince? Also, the fact that you led people into Daliang is not what a princess should do at all. So, what secret do you have?"
Chen Keyan hesitated for a moment, but soon smiled sweetly:
"Since everyone in the slave family calls you Young Master and Royal Husband, there is no harm in telling Young Master. Young Master should know that your Empress Liang has a 'Plum Blossom Internal Guard'."
"Not bad." Su Xian nodded.
"We in Nanchen also have a similar organization called the 'Secret Guard'. They only take orders from the Emperor Father and have the same responsibilities as the Plum Blossom Internal Guard." Chen Keyan said with a smile.
"Your Highness, as a princess, can actually get involved with Emperor Chen's secret guards?" Su Xian was surprised.
You must know that Li Youqing, who is also a princess, needs to plan carefully for a long time if she wants to get involved with the Queen's Plum Blossom Guards, testing every step and being extremely cautious.
Chen Keyan's delicate and beautiful face still had a sweet and bright smile, and said:
"What are you talking about? How unpleasant it sounds. Because the slave family is deeply favored by the father and the emperor likes these things, so... the slave family is the 'deputy commander' of the secret guard!"
"Deputy Commander? How many deputy commanders are there in the secret guard?" Su Xian's expression changed.
"If the young master agrees to be my royal husband, I will tell you." Chen Keyan said with a smile.
"Forget it if you don't say...then I'm leaving?" Su Xian stood up.
"Farewell, Young Master... This is the secret of my secret guard, but Young Master is different after all. The slave family can tell Young Master that I am the master of the secret guard, even though there is a 'big commander' above."
Su Xian slowly sat back down, staring at Chen Keyan with burning eyes, his face thoughtful.
Chen Keyan pretended to be shy, looked sideways, lowered her head, touched her face and smiled: "Master, what are you looking at? Is there something dirty on your face?"
"In order to please the Empress of Liang, Princess Lanling did not hesitate to choose the empress's concubine herself. I want to know, have you ever chosen a concubine for Emperor Chen?" Su Xian asked seriously.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"The Empress of Liang Guo has corrupted human relations and is extremely filthy. That bitch in Lanling is not a good person either... I, Nan Chen, have gained the orthodoxy of the Central Plains and have always governed the country with benevolence and filial piety..."
Chen Keyan became more and more enthusiastic as she talked.
"OK OK."
Su Xian waved his hand, not wanting to waste time on this kind of issue. He had long known that Chen Keyan and Li Youqing had a bad relationship. He didn't know why before, but now he vaguely understands it.
After the two of them drank a cup of tea each, Chen Keyan also calmed down.
Su Xian put down the tea cup, looked into her eyes and said solemnly: "I promised to help you, but I must do it in secret. I must not let it out, otherwise my promise to you will be invalidated immediately."
"I know!" Chen Keyan puffed up her cheeks, but then she smiled, her smile sweet and intoxicating.
"I already know the general situation of your Nanchen, but I don't have much energy to think about these issues. Just tell me, how can I help you?" Su Xian asked.
Chen Keyan's smile did not diminish, she supported her head with both hands, and leaned her head close to Su Xian and said: "It's simple, Master, just teach me the secret recipe of candy, brown sugar and white sugar."
"What do you want this for?"
"Young master, you don't know. The slave family is very favored by the father. They are secretly in charge of the secret guards. They are not afraid of King Li and the Queen in terms of power. But... I am short of silver."
"Are you short of money?"
"Of course it is lacking..."
Chen Keyan slowly explained her difficulties.
It turns out that in addition to running secret guards, she also secretly maintained many retainers and won over a large number of local powerful people. Maintaining these relationships required a lot of money.
Relying on Emperor Chen's rewards, salary, and some gray income alone is far from enough to support it, and this is just to maintain the status quo.
If he wants to gain an absolute advantage in the future power struggle, he needs more money to recruit more talents... This is what Chen Keyan lacks.
And there’s another point. Her opponent is King Li. Behind King Li is the queen’s huge family. They don’t worry about not having money at all...
The disparity in this aspect has always troubled Chen Keyan.
If she can make up for her shortcomings in this area, she will be extremely confident of success!
After listening to her story, Su Xian frowned and fell into deep thought. Finally, he looked at Chen Keyan and said, "I can't give you the secret recipes for candy, brown sugar, and white sugar!"
When Chen Keyan heard this, her expectant smile suddenly froze, and she hurriedly asked: "Why?"
"No reason, just because I promised Princess Lanling not to reveal the secret recipes of candy, brown sugar and white sugar. Since I promised others, I will do it." Su Xian shook his head.
"It's that bitch Lanling again! What's so good about her? Has the young master fallen in love with that bitch?" Chen Keyan was furious.
"Don't talk nonsense." Su Xian felt slightly guilty.
"I and that bitch are both princesses, how am I worse than her?"
Su Xian subconsciously glanced at Chen Keyan's chest and said nothing.
Chen Keyan noticed Su Xian's gaze, looked down at herself, raised her eyes and glared at Su Xian and said dissatisfied: "She is just older than me... I will cut off that bitch sooner or later!"
