Chapter 278 Helpless
It's not a troublesome thing to go to Qixia Mountain, but last time on Qixia Mountain, I didn't get any advantage and lost someone. Thinking of Ye Ling's proud look, Xiao Ling got angry, and there was another plan to deceive her. The deputy landlord.

What's your name?That's right, Ye Qing.

Relying on his good looks, he thought he would be able to treat her like a princess in a different light.

It's just a dream. If there wasn't some strange mist on Qixia Mountain that confused her mind, she would never have given up and was coaxed to go down the mountain.

Feeling that he had suffered a loss, he naturally did not want to go up the mountain again, but the third prince was not in the palace, and Mr. Ye would not come to the palace unless his father found him.

Ye Xiaolou would never appear in the court, and it was impossible to wait for him in the palace. To find Ye Xiaolou now, she had to go to Qixia Mountain in person.

"I plan to go to Qixia Mountain to find Ye Xiaolou. He will definitely find a solution for the third brother."

Xiao Ling's eyes were sincere, and Wu Guisheng also believed that this girl had an unusual relationship with her third brother. He didn't know how many surprising things she would do for the sake of the third prince.

"Qixia Mountain? Could it be that the princess wants to find Mr. Ye again?"

"At this moment, I am afraid that Mr. Ye is the only one in the court who can speak for the third prince, stand by his side sincerely, and think about my third brother."

"I think the princess is a little too anxious. I know that the princess and the third prince have a deep relationship. The princess must think carefully before making any decision. Otherwise, the third prince will lose this golden opportunity."

"What good opportunities can third brother have?"

The hot wind blew through without any coolness, but Xiao Ling felt that compared with the anxiety before, she felt a little more refreshed now. It seemed that the master had put some medicine in the tea.

Xiao Ling planned to ask the master later which herbs were in the tea. The matter was urgent. The envoys from Hou Shu had arrived in Jinling, and the affairs of Southern Wu were imminent. If the master was unwilling to help her, she would have no choice but to go Jing went upstairs to ask Ye Xiaolou for help. Ye Xiaolou said that the third prince was the person he protected with his life.

Although this person usually looks as cold as a piece of wood, for the third brother, this person will definitely do everything possible to protect him.

"The position of prince."

"The position of crown prince? Could it be that the third brother will soon become the crown prince of Daqi? Impossible. Even if the father is willing, the mother and concubine will not agree. This matter is impossible for the mother and concubine. How can the mother and concubine not agree? I won’t let my third brother become the crown prince. It’s not like you don’t know her ability to cause trouble in the palace. Besides, back then, you were also helping your mother and concubine, right?”

"I just slay demons and eliminate demons. I never talk about personal friendship or whether I help anyone or not. I don't care about right and wrong interests. Monsters must never do evil in the palace. Even if they are good-hearted, the mortal world is still not their long-term place in the end. .”

There was sadness in Wu Guisheng's words.

He looked at the stone bench where Xiao Ling was sitting. A woman of the same age as her had once sat in this place. Her smile, her smile, and the way she tasted tea were all as delicate as the tips of bamboo and as noble as snow falling on a plum.

Things and people have changed, things have changed, and he is the only one who keeps track of his years. His memory is too good and he lives too long. As a result, the people before him are gone and they are all old, and he still has to remember it all alone.The sound of the piano has long since disappeared, and Wu Guisheng will never forget the refreshing sound.

It's a pity that person will never show up again.

"Will master help third brother?" Xiao Ling's voice was filled with pleading.

"According to the current situation, there must be ministers in the court who are inclined to let the emperor make the third prince the prince. Without further delay, they will definitely try their best to make the third prince the prince as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."

"Why? Are the ministers going to betray brother Xiao Yu?"

"It's not a betrayal. It's not easy to be an official in the government. You have to plan for your future. It's not a betrayal. Things will change according to the wind. It's natural to choose the right tree to perch when the general trend is."

"But the eldest prince disappeared and is not dead. If the eldest prince comes back, wouldn't the third brother have the position of an extra brother and become a joke to everyone in the world?"

"So, this marriage will be of great benefit to him. The Nanwu navy has always been a headache for Daqi. If it cannot attack Nanwu, it will be difficult to defend Wucheng. The people of Nanwu have always been lazy and content to live in a corner, but they are not in a hurry to attack Daqi. What's more, once you get on land, Wucheng goes north to Hezhou, Tongling, and Lushui. When you reach Hezhou, the land dries up, the folk customs are very different from those in Wucheng, and the food you eat is also different. Even if the people of Southern Wu conquer that A few cities were not interesting either. They were not willing to leave Southern Wu and move to the north, nor would they seize the cities and let the people not change their original ways in Daqi.

At that time, it will only lead to a dilemma.Due to the differences between water and soil, the marching route of Nan Wu's army was long and there was only one road to the north, which was of little interest to Nan Wu. "

"If you don't have much interest, why are you always ready to attack Wucheng?"

"I don't understand these things very well. I'm just a monster slayer. If you ask me about marching and fighting, I can only talk about it casually. Ministers understand these things better. They and Nanwu go back and forth. For decades, Da Qi and Nan Wu have been living in peace and harmony. Naturally, there are some ways. So I guess the ministers will be inclined to the third prince to agree to this marriage. In this way, no one dares to waver with the threat of Nan Wu. The position of crown prince of the third prince."

"But what if Nanwu goes back on his promise and simply wants to throw away the princess, marry her and still raise troops to invade. People in the south are naturally cunning and wise, so I'm afraid they won't be so kind."

"It depends on the third prince, if he can treat the newly married princess well."

"The more the master talks, the more irrelevant it is. The third brother hasn't agreed to be the prince yet."

"He'd better agree. Now is the best opportunity. A chess piece that others don't want can finally become the center of the whole chess game. Do you think he will be happy and want to understand this matter? Although it seems aggrieved, He, but the entire Daqi may belong to him in the future."

Xiao Ling didn't know how to refute Wu Guisheng's words, so he drank a cup of tea angrily, grabbed the kettle and made another cup for himself.

"Hey, it's great that you have a close relationship with the third prince, but when the third prince becomes the prince, doesn't it mean that no one can bully him?"

"The third prince has been lonely and helpless all his life. No one in the palace cares about him, but he always hopes to help others and is always full of kindness. Such a person should not even have the freedom to love his beloved woman. He should at least He can have his own happiness, deal with government affairs, and deal with disputes, but why should he be pushed to the forefront, to the temple where he is least good at, and to the conspiracy of others?"
