Murong Ci smiled slightly, with a bit of coolness in her bright eyes,
"This Prince is indeed a little disappointed, because you will soon be in a different place."
Yue Jing Chen struggled intensely to sit up, and said with an extremely determined tone,
"I believe you won't kill me."
"Oh? I want to hear why you think so."
"I have been operating the Linglong Pavilion in your Country for many years now, and my eyes and ears have already penetrated your court and even the Palace.
How could you easily kill me?"
He smiled confidently, with his eyebrows filled with venomous and vicious threads.
She smiled lightly,
"This Prince really wants to uproot the ears and eyes you have installed in the Imperial Capital and the Palace, but I'm more worried about nights and dreams."
The Ghost Guard looked at His Royal Highness.
She was smiling like a spring breeze, as innocent and harmless as a white rabbit, but it made people feel the creeps for no reason.
Yue Jing Chen didn't panic or rush but said slowly:
"Don't you want to use my life in exchange for greater benefits?"
"Your life is naturally very valuable.
Why? Are you scared?"
Murong Ci narrowed her eyes, pouting her lips with sneers.
"I, Yue Jing Chen, have never been afraid of success or failure.
I just want to know how you know my identity."
He stalked his neck, proudly and arrogantly.
The Ghost Guard also wanted to know how His Royal Highness guessed the identity of the Young Master in Golden Clothes.
She said coldly:
"The Emperor of the South Yue Kingdom has Five Princes, and because the position of 'Crown Prince' wasn't decided yet, the five Princes fought openly and secretly for many years, fighting to death.
Now, the birth mother of the Third Prince was humble, and the position in the harem was just not high.
He was not loved or valued by the Emperor since he was a child, and wasn't supported by the Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs either.
It can be said that the Third Prince was the weakest among the Five Princes and was insignificant."
Yue Jing Chen's eyes became gloomy, as to show that the other party was right:
Without the support of the Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs, everyone felt that he was not qualified to claim the supreme throne.
He couldn't bear this situation or reconcile himself to that:
He wanted everyone to see that Yue Jing Chen was the wisest, most conspiring, and most qualified Prince to inherit the throne.
Everyone was just blind!
Therefore, he decided to leave the Country to show them, but he didn't expect his father to agree with no interest about it.
"The biological mothers of the other Four Princes are all daughters of aristocratic families.
They have more or less supporters and have a foundation that cannot be underestimated.
Therefore, how could they abandon everything from the Imperial Capital and go to the Northern Yan Kingdom to do such a dangerous and risky thing?"
Murong Ci continued,
"The Third Prince on the other hand was resourceful.
If he wanted to win the favor and respect of the Emperor, he had to find another way:
As long as he made great contributions, he'll be able to rise to the top after returning home."
"It seems that I underestimated His Royal Highness."
Yue Jing Chen was annoyed that he was calculated by the Royal King.
He didn't mind the Ghost Guard standing right there on the side, and taunted mockingly,
"In fact, you are not much better than me, you silly Prince.
Haven't you also been suppressed by the Royal King for many years?
In the eyes of the world, there's only the Royal King in the Northern Yan Kingdom.
How can you be the Crown Prince?"
