Chapter 204 Why is it impossible?
Chapter 204 Why is it impossible?
In just a moment, Meng Xiyue understood why he was angry.
Probably because he saw her and Nam Young-shin in the same room.
But Prince Zhennan seemed to have forgotten that she and he were originally enemies.
She raised her eyes and looked at Nan Rongshen. "I am the prince's man. I am close to the prince because I have business to discuss with him. We are not from the same boat. You should not control who I meet with."
"After all, you, like Nan Rongxin, are the prince's enemies."
"Meng Xiyue, do you know what you are talking about?"
Nan Rongxin's anger, which had not been suppressed to begin with, surged out again. He really wanted to strangle her neck and ask her if she had a heart.
"Your Majesty, I am telling the truth. You are arrogant and think that since I am already in your camp, I should listen to you."
Meng Xiyue felt that they needed to talk it out and their stance had to be made clear.
"I'm telling you, I'm the prince's man. No matter how good my relationship with the prince is in the business world, I will never change my position in the court."
"So Your Majesty, don't have this attitude, as if I have betrayed you. I was never yours in the first place."
"Do you think this is what I care about?" Nan Rongshen was almost laughing at her.
"I never wanted you to support me, and I don't need your support."
"Why did the prince come here to question me?"
Meng Xiyue looked puzzled. She thought Nan Rongshen felt betrayed because he saw her with the eldest prince.
Nan Rongshen looked at her, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Did you deliberately approach Nan Rongxin for Nan Rongzhi?"
"Yes, Nan Rongzhi is outnumbered. She is no match for you in a head-on confrontation, so we can only take shortcuts."
Meng Xiyue did not hide the fact that the emperor did not have much time left, and they had to use some extraordinary means.
"Who is Nan Rongxin? If you try to deceive him and he finds out, you know what will happen to you."
"Besides, Nan Rongxin is extremely bold and if he treats you... you will be bullied."
God knows, he was just standing opposite her and saw Nan Rongxin doing those intimate things to her. He was going crazy and he wanted to twist Nan Rongxin's hand off.
Fortunately, she dodged, otherwise he would have rushed in on the spot.
Seeing that he was only worried about her own safety, Meng Xiyue felt a little ashamed.
It is she who uses the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman.
"Don't worry, my lord. I know my limits. He won't dare force me."
Because of the prophecy, Nan Rongxin didn't dare to use force on her.
"But it's too dangerous for you to do this. You'd better not contact him in the future."
Nan Rongshen said in a commanding tone, "You have done enough for Nan Rongzhi. There is no need to sacrifice your innocence and life."
"Your Highness, I just said that we are just business friends. I hope Your Highness will not interfere in other matters."
She looked at Nan Rongshen and said seriously, "Your Highness, although I have never met the Third Prince, I heard that he is just a timid and cowardly person. Is such a person worthy of your assistance?"
"Or does the prince have other selfish motives?"
Nan Rongshen understood what she meant. She simply felt that he wanted all this power and was just treating the Third Prince as a puppet.
He sighed, "This king has selfish motives, but this king also believes that he is worthy of the people. A cowardly puppet emperor is better than a cruel and ruthless person as the emperor."
"You are talking about the eldest prince, right?"
Meng Xiyue knew that Nan Rongshen was a good man who worked for the people, which was why she was puzzled by his choice.
Her eyes darkened as she questioned.
"It is obvious that the Crown Prince is both talented and virtuous, and is the most suitable candidate for the throne. You keep saying that you are doing this for the people, so why do you have to go against the Emperor?"
"You only need to support the Crown Prince to have a better chance of winning. Why did you choose the Third Prince? What's the reason for your selfish motive?"
Meng Xiyue's questioning became louder and louder, "Isn't it still for power? I'm afraid the prince is coveting that position himself."
"I don't have it."
Nan Rongshen objected with red eyes, "I have never wanted that position."
"If Nan Rongzhi can, how can I not support her, but..." He looked at Meng Xiyue and said word by word.
"You know very well that she can't possibly reach that position."
Hearing his decisive words, Meng Xiyue became more certain of her guess.
"The prince has indeed already known Nan Rongzhi's true identity."
Meng Xiyue was puzzled about this matter for a long time. From the first time they met, she felt that his hostility towards Nan Rongzhi and herself was not that deep.
Moreover, in the court, he has always targeted the eldest prince.
Nan Rongshen is not a person who cares about fame, wealth and power. His goals are the same as those of the emperor.
He wanted to overthrow the rule of the aristocratic family and establish a new Nanrong Kingdom.
Obviously, Nan Rongzhi is the most suitable candidate, but he chooses to go far away.
He also said in person that Nan Rongzhi could not be the emperor.
After much thought, there is only one possibility: he knew the identity of Nan Rongzhi's daughter, which is why he did this.
"Yes, I knew it a long time ago. When she was little, she fell into the water and I saved her. I knew it at that time."
Nan Rongshen sighed, "I know the Queen did this out of helplessness, and it was the best choice at the time, so I didn't expose the lie."
"But she can't keep pretending for her whole life. If we want her to regain her identity and suppress the eldest prince, we can only train a new candidate for the crown prince."
"But the talents of my brother's sons are really average, and only the third prince has not tried his luck yet."
From a big picture perspective, Nan Rongshen did nothing wrong.
He did this to protect Nan Rongzhi and the Queen, and also to relieve the Emperor's worries.
However, living in this era still limited his vision.
Meng Xiyue looked at him and said slowly, "I have known Nan Rongzhi's identity for a long time, but I still want to support her, without hesitation."
"You are a smart woman, why are you so stubborn about this? You clearly know that it is impossible for her to..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Meng Xiyue, "Why not?"
"She is the most suitable candidate. Whether in terms of talent, strategy, or even martial arts, she is no worse than anyone else. Why is it impossible?"
Meng Xiyue asked a series of questions.
Nan Rongzhi should be the one standing in that position. Why should she be deprived of all this just because of her female identity?
"In the final analysis, it is you who are pedantic. It is you men who are unwilling to submit to a woman. In the final analysis, it is your self-esteem that is at work."
"I am also a woman, but I think I am no worse than other men. I can do business and become a great scholar. These are not the exclusive rights of men."
