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?”
