458 I will help you fight for the throne

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 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'll marry you..."

"Let's not talk about the royal husband's discussion. 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. His own life was still at stake.

As the saying goes, "If a man does not do it for himself, he 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, the father of Chen Keyan, 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 "Prince Li" and "Prince Tian".

King Li was the son of Queen Nanchen. Although he was the legitimate son, he was not the eldest son. The Queen's family was very powerful in Nanchen.

Prince Tian was the son of 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 was another noble concubine of Emperor Chen. She was a twin sister to King Tian's mother-in-law, so Chen Keyan was 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 to break 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', which only takes orders from the Emperor Father and has 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, test them step by step, and be 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, and 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 the young master is different after all. The slave family can tell the 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 and stared at Chen Keyan with a thoughtful look on his face.

Chen Keyan pretended to be shy, looked sideways, lowered her head, touched her face and smiled: "Master, what are you doing looking at me? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"In order to please the Empress of Liang, Princess Lanling did not hesitate to choose a concubine for the empress herself. I want to know, have you ever chosen a concubine for Emperor Chen?" Su Xian asked seriously.

"The Empress of Liang Guo has corrupted human relations and is extremely filthy. That bitch in Lanling is not a good person either... I, Nanchen, 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, and must not let it out, otherwise my promise to you will be immediately invalidated."

"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 you want me to help you?" Su Xian asked.

Chen Keyan's smile did not diminish, she held her head with both hands, 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 going to be 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 clients and won over a large number of local powerful people. Maintaining these relationships required a lot of money.

Relying solely on Emperor Chen's rewards, salary, and some gray income is far from enough to support him, and this is just to maintain the status quo.

In order to gain an absolute advantage in the future power struggle, more money is needed to recruit more talents... It is this part of the money that 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 running out of money at all...

This inequality 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 recipe 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 candies, brown sugar and white sugar. Since I promised others, I will do it." Su Xian shook his head.

"It's that bitch from 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.
