Cultivating immortality is going against the grain

Nangong Xue said, "Of course there is a way. As long as I marry Si Nanxing, the eldest son of the Xiyi Empire, the Xiyi Empire and the Dongyi Empire will be able to have good relations...the borders of the two countries will be peaceful and there will be no war. I can solve a major issue for my eldest brother. My eldest brother has gained the support of more people in the court, and my second brother has no reason to oppose my eldest brother... and they will not kill each other..."

Hui Dabao widened his eyes and said, "Ah...is this your own idea or someone else taught you..."

Nangong Xue said, "My eldest brother told me... My eldest brother has just ascended the throne. He said that he is the new emperor and has little prestige in the court. My second brother also thinks that he is more capable of being the emperor, so he refuses to accept my eldest brother as the emperor." Emperor, so the eldest brother said that he needed to do something to tell the ministers and second brother that he was capable of managing the Dongyi Empire. He thought that if he could solve the border issue with the Xiyi Kingdom, he could greatly improve his Prestige in the court, at that time, all the ministers in the court would submit to him, and the second brother would also give up the rebellion because no one in the court supported him..."

After hearing this, Hui Dabao was silent for a long time and sighed, "The royal family really has no family ties..."

Nangong Xue widened her eyes and said, "What do you mean... Could it be that my eldest brother lied to me?"

Hui Dabao shook his head and said, "It's not a lie, it's just exaggerating the effect!"

Nangong Xue said with confusion on her face, "Exaggeration..."

Hui Dabao nodded and said, "That's right... betrothing you to the heir apparent of the Xiyi Kingdom can indeed temporarily resolve the border war between the two countries, but it cannot resolve the power struggle between your eldest brother and your second brother..."

Nangong Xue said with disbelief, "Why not..."

Hui Dabao said, "Because the battle for the throne between your eldest brother and your second brother is not caused by prestige, but a matter of ambition and strength. The ambitions are very big, especially your second brother's, and the fact that they are equally powerful. The reason why they are at war with each other is that although marrying you to the crown prince of the Xiyi Kingdom will increase your eldest brother's prestige in the court and win the support of some people, it is not because the tension on the border is resolved, but because it is with the Xiyi Kingdom. Forming an alliance has improved your eldest brother’s strength!”

Nangong Xue's eyes were dull and she murmured, "Form an alliance..."

"That's right... If I guessed correctly, that Ming-level Lin will definitely negotiate an alliance with Xiyi State in private, and Princess Mingzhu, you are their guarantee..."

Nangong Xue read blankly, "Guarantee letter..."

Hui Dabao sighed, "The princess of Dongyi Kingdom...the emperor's biological sister, the crown prince's wife of Xiyi Kingdom...this is the most reliable guarantee for both parties..."

Nangong Xue's whole body was shaken, and it seemed difficult to accept Hui Dabao's statement...

Hui Dabao didn't want to get involved in the Nangong family's struggle for power, but when it came to this point, he simply continued, "However, you don't have to blame your eldest brother. Although eldest brother exaggerated the effects that can be achieved, , he didn’t want to take advantage of you, after all, as the princess of Dongyi Kingdom, marrying the crown prince of Xiyi Kingdom may be your best marriage!"

After listening to Hui Dabao's words, Nangong Xue's expression softened a lot.

"Seeing that you and I have met many times and are destined to be together, let me say one more thing. Your eldest brother wants to betroth you to Si Nanxing. He may only expect the best result, which is to form an alliance with the Xiyi Kingdom. Suppress your second brother with increased strength. However, I have seen your second brother in Yueyangzhou before. Your second brother is not a person who is willing to be subordinated to others. It will be a matter of time for him to meet your eldest brother in war. By then, Xiyi State will It is still unknown whether the enemy is a friend or not. You must know that the empire only has eternal interests and no eternal friends. Although you have a relationship with the Dongyi Kingdom, it is inevitable that the West Yi Kingdom will benefit and take advantage of your civil strife to seize more Dongyi. Yi’s interests!”

Nangong Xue looked sad and said, "According to you, even if I marry Si Nanxing, it will not change the relationship between my eldest brother and my second brother, let alone maintain long-term peace between Xiyi Kingdom and Dongyi Kingdom. What will happen to me if I do this?" What’s the point…”

Hui Dabao nodded and said, "Yes, sacrificing your own marriage will not prevent anything from happening, nor will it change any outcome, because you place your hopes on others, and that is beyond your control..."

Nangong Xue raised her head and said, "Put your hopes on others..."

Hui Dabao said, "Yes, if it were me, I don't like to place my hopes on others. It's better to rely on heaven and earth than rely on yourself. In this world, you can only believe in yourself!"

Nangong Xue said, "Rely on me? Even my father can't convince my eldest and second brothers. What can I do..."

Hui Dabao said, "If you can't convince them, you have to control them and control the overall situation. Don't they all want to be emperors? Don't you want to prevent their brothers from killing each other? Don't you want the Nangong family to be harmonious? Why don't you become the emperor?" As long as you become the leader of the Nangong family, you can control them, and they will not kill each other just to seize power. You can obviously solve all the problems, so why should you rely on others!"

Nangong Xue's eyes suddenly brightened, and she stared at Hui Dabao closely, "Am I the emperor? Do I control the eldest brother and the second brother?"

Hui Dabao shrugged and said, "Although it is very difficult for you to become the emperor, it is still more reliable than placing all your hopes on others..."

Nangong Xue asked urgently, "How...can I replace my eldest brother as the emperor..."

Hui Dabao yawned and said, "You can be the emperor if you want to be... You can't explain it clearly in a short time. It's just a simple sentence. If you want to control others, you need strength and the ability to destroy them. Otherwise, who is willing to surrender..."

"How can I be considered powerful...I want to..."

"Oh... I'm so sleepy... I can't figure out these things about your Nangong family, and I don't know what to do. I'm going back to sleep!"

Seeing that Nangong Xue wanted to ask more questions, Hui Dabao really didn't want to say any more and quickly stopped him.

"Let's go, let's go... don't ask..." He waved Dabao and turned around to escape in a hurry without waiting for Nangong Xue to speak.

I don't know whether it was the moon's destination or it was blocked by clouds. The sky was getting darker. Hui Dabao was not familiar with the surrounding environment. He passed through several bushes and saw a high wall. He jumped up regardless of the situation. In short, first Get away from here.

With a 'pop' sound, he jumped off the wall and stood up with a wave of Dabao. Before he had time to observe his surroundings, he suddenly felt a slight fluctuation in the aura behind him and quickly turned around to deal with it.

"Who are you? Why did you break into Prince Xia's Mansion at night?"

This sound is...

Waving his Dabao and taking a closer look, Ning Xuyou was standing in front of Yuanting Mountain.

Ning Xuyou seemed to have recognized Hui Dabao, and said with confusion on his face, "Brother Hui... why are you here... did you come out of the princess's residence?"

"Brother Ning...how can I...explain to you..." Hui Dabao scratched his head.

Ning Xuyou strode over and said, "Brother Hui... Do you know Her Highness the Princess... Come and visit her..."
