Chapter 404: Not getting one’s way

Meng Nan said with a light smile: “I’m just curious. Looking at today’s event, Prince Xiao already has a lot of followers in the court and holds the military power. The other princes simply can’t compare with him. In this case, why he is still not being crown as the crown prince? Making the other princes worry.”

Meng Yuande sighed and said, “People in the whole world say that the emperor loves Imperial Consort Chun, which is why she became the empress. And it’s only natural for Prince Xiao to be the crown prince. In fact, there is only Prince Jin in the emperor’s heart. Otherwise, with Prince Xiao’s current status and power, why doesn’t the emperor push the boat in the sea and make him the crown prince?”

Meng Nan was puzzled: “Since the emperor deeply loves Prince Jin, why did he send him out of the palace? Why did he let him join the battlefield at such a young age? And in the end, he ended up like that!”

Meng Yuande sighed again: “You don’t understand, the emperor has a good intention. He sent Prince Jin away from the palace for him to avoid the bloody and brutal battle in the imperial court. At the same time, for him to learn self-defense so that he could stand against his brother’s assassination attempt. He sent him to the battlefield so that he could acquire skills and have his own force and power.”

“Prince Jin has done a good job. For 7 years, he has made great achievements on the western battlefield. His three armed forces were invincible. Although the emperor doesn’t say a good word, every time Prince Jin’s achievements were mentions, his eyes can’t hide the joy and pride he felt. So isn’t it still clear where his heart lies?”

“It’s just a pity, it’s a pity that—” Meng Yuande’s tone was full of regret. He knew his father’s intentions. He knew he wanted to help Prince Jin. And this was not something his father’s wish, but also the emperor.

It’s just a pity, heaven doesn’t let them get their way.

Meng Nan continued to ask questions: “Although that is true, Prince Jin has disappeared. Right now, the most suitable candidate among the princes is probably only Prince Xiao. Even we can see it clearly, so how can the emperor not see it? Why doesn’t the emperor make Prince Xiao the crown prince?”

After a while, Meng Yuande said with a low voice: “I shouldn’t have been saying this originally, but now that you returned to the capital, and the future of Meng Family will be in your hands. I should make you understand some things.”

“You know that your grandfather and the emperor’s relationships are not simply as ordinary monarchs and ministers, but he is also the emperor’s teacher. They don’t keep secrets between each other. Your grandfather also mentioned this to me.”

Meng Yuande suddenly lowered his voice: “Although the emperor sealed the Imperial Consort Chun as the empress, he only kept Prince Xiao as a prince, because the emperor still believes that one day, Prince Jin will come back. The emperor always wanted Prince Jin to be the crown prince.”

Meng Nan’s face slightly changed: “So you mean, Prince Jin is probably still alive?”

Meng Yuande shook his head: “It’s hard to say, Prince Jin’s disappearance is very strange. It’s hard to say whether he is still alive or not. However, if he is still alive, why he hasn’t appeared in these 3 years? I’m afraid he can’t come back.”

This was also the reason why he decided to get close to Prince Xiao. Since Prince Jin cannot come back, then Prince Xiao will be the crown prince sooner or later. Even if the emperor will not give him the title around this time, it will not hinder his great career.

Hu Feng’s face constantly appearing in Meng Nan’s mind. Is there any connection between Hu Feng and Prince Xiao?

Huangtuo Village was located in the northwest, it was a hundred miles away in the border, was it all just a coincidence?

“You are a bit abnormal today, is there something you are hiding from me?” Meng Yuande suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Meng Nan.

Meng Nan laughed and said: “Can I hide anything from you, aren’t you clear about my every move?”
