Chapter 253 My Love Is Not Here
"I wonder if the eldest prince is willing to cooperate with me."
"You help me save people, and I'll help you reach a high position."
As Chu Zhongyuan spoke, he pointed upwards.
Nanyu was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that the prince of Daming Kingdom would speak so directly.
"Your Highness, you are joking. That position belongs to the Crown Prince. This prince has never had any improper desires."
Chu Zhongyuan took a sip of tea and asked, "Has the eldest prince accepted his fate?"
"Don't you think that the position of Crown Prince originally belongs to you, Prince?"
Nan Yu's face looked grim and he remained silent. It seemed that the prince came prepared and knew all his details.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chu Zhongyuan continued to speak to himself: "This king never accepts his fate."
"I will do my utmost to fight for whatever the king wants. That position can be the crown prince's or mine."
"It could even be anybody, otherwise there would be no such thing as a change of dynasties."
"What does the eldest prince think?"
Nan Yu calmed down and asked, "Who does the prince want to save?"
"Why did you choose to cooperate with this prince?"
Chu Zhongyuan smiled and said firmly, "Because the eldest prince will definitely help me."
“How come you see?”
Chu Zhongyuan asked in return: "Don't you think that we are the same kind of people, Prince?"
Nanyu's eyes flickered a little, and he asked again: "Who does the prince want to save?"
"This prince is curious, who is it that is worthy of your efforts?"
"Chen Yunniang!"
Nanyu was a little surprised: "That fake saint?"
"Why did the prince save her?"
Chu Zhongyuan smiled and said, "It seems that the eldest prince doesn't have much information."
"Although she is a fake saint, she is also special."
"Doesn't the eldest prince know that she can also open the Dragon Snake Jade?"
"Then the eldest prince probably doesn't know that in this world, besides the real Saint, only this fake Saint can open the Dragon Snake Jade."
"Does the eldest prince still think she is unimportant now?"
"The real Saint is the Crown Prince's person. If the fake Saint is used by you, wouldn't the Crown Prince have more bargaining chips in his hands?"
"After all, when the real Saint is gone, the fake Saint becomes the only one left."
Nanyu listened to Chu Zhongyuan's words, and a gleam of brilliance and ambition flashed in his eyes.
"It sounds like rescuing Chen Yunniang is indeed beneficial to this prince, but why is your Majesty doing this?"
"For love?"
Chu Zhongyuan shook his head: "My love is not here."
"Besides, she is very disobedient."
"As long as Chen Yunniang can break the wings of my love and make her obedient!"
Nan Yu didn't understand: "Please explain clearly, Your Highness. I am completely confused."
"If Your Majesty does not treat others with sincerity, then there is no point in discussing cooperation."
Chu Zhongyuan sighed: "It seems that the eldest prince is not a man of temperament."
"The eldest prince probably doesn't have a favorite girl, right?"
Nanyu remained silent.
Chu Zhongyuan smiled somewhat helplessly, with a hint of doting mixed in with his helplessness.
"My love is the true Saint of Southern Border."
"Su Yujiao!?"
Nanyu now understood that Su Yujiao had a distinguished status and abilities, and that this prince could not forcefully marry her.
The only way is to rescue Chen Yunniang and let her take away everything that belongs to Su Yujiao.
Only this prince can win the beauty!
Haha, what a romantic!
"It seems that the prince prefers beauty to the kingdom."
"Wrong, I want both the kingdom and the beauty."
"Don't forget, Crown Prince. Chen Yunniang is my person. After she replaces Jiaojiao, she can not only help you, but also help me."
"Wouldn't it be better to have a win-win situation like this?"
"What does the eldest prince think?"
"How can this prince trust the prince?"
"That's the eldest prince's own business."
"If the prince wishes to cooperate, he will naturally find a way to trust me."
Nanyu hated Chu Zhongyuan's condescending attitude, but he really needed help now.
Especially the Saint is such a great temptation!
"If Your Majesty is not in a hurry to leave, please allow me a few days to consider this."
"Three days, maybe. I want to go back for the New Year."
"Row."
Three days is enough for Nanyu to find out the truth of all the information he said.
In fact, Nanyu's actions were faster than he expected.
It only took him one night to find out all the information about Chen Yunniang.
She is indeed the only person besides Su Yujiao who can open the Dragon Snake Jade.
In other words, if Chen Yunniang obtained the Dragon Snake Jade and Su Yujiao's blood, then she would be no different from a true saint.
This news made Nanyu excited all night.
If he could make the saint serve him, he would have no worries about achieving great things.
Soon, Nanyu got the news from his spy and found out where Chen Yunniang was hiding.
So he went to Chu Zhongyuan to discuss a rescue plan.
It must succeed in one go, otherwise the difficulty of rescue will increase exponentially.
"Come out."
As Chu Zhongyuan finished speaking, a masked woman appeared from behind the screen.
"Take off your veil and show it to the eldest prince."
When the woman took off her veil, her face looked exactly like Chen Yunniang's.
Nanyu's eyes widened: "She is?"
"Disguise!"
"The eldest prince only needs to bring her into the palace, and the rest will be easy."
Nanyu looked at the disguised woman's face and was full of admiration. Daming Country was indeed full of talented people, which was not comparable to a small place like theirs.
"She can only imitate Chen Yunniang's face?"
“Can I imitate someone else?”
Chu Zhongyuan was full of confidence: "As long as she has seen the other person's appearance, she can imitate anyone's face."
The eldest prince slammed the table excitedly and said, "That's easy."
"Let her pretend to be the prince's attendant and go into the palace with him."
"Then this prince will help her familiarize herself with the layout of the palace and have her imitate the guard who delivers food..."
"Oh, and we still need to find the key to the black iron chain, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed."
"Black iron chain?"
Nan Yu nodded: "Yes, Nan Sheng spent a lot of money to imprison Chen Yunniang."
"Not only was she heavily guarded and frequently moved to new cells, but she was also bound with black iron chains around her limbs, neck, and waist."
"Each lock requires a different key, which means we need to find six keys at the same time to help her escape."
"That black iron chain is forged from thousand-year-old black iron. Even swords, spears, axes, and halberds cannot cut it."
Chu Zhongyuan frowned, it was quite troublesome.
"Are the keys easy to find?"
"This prince will try his best to find it."
"Well, I will also think of a solution."
It would be best if he could find it, otherwise he would have to go find the world's number one thief, who was said to be able to open any chain.
But this would mean sending one more person into the palace, which would double the difficulty and danger.
Time passed quickly, and another seven days passed before the eldest prince finally found the six keys.
After all, he had deployed many spies around Nan Sheng, and all these years of deployment were not in vain.
It really came in handy at the critical moment!
