"Zhuangbao? Isn't this treasure in your hands now?"
Mengna had a crooked smile on her face, and under the dim light, she couldn't see clearly what her real thoughts were behind her beautiful face.
Lin Xi smiled dumbly, raised the axe that was holding with his right hand, and felt a little embarrassed: "Who thought that your father would be treated as a treasure as a treasure, and he was used as bait.
.”
Mengna didn't respond, as if she was thinking about something.
Lin Xi just stroked the axe, and was not in a hurry. He was waiting for Mengna to say something.
After a long time, Mengna raised her head, stared at Lin Xi and said, "Can I still trust you?"
"Sure, it can, of course." Lin Xi said without hesitation.
Mengna was stunned, as if she felt that Lin Xi’s answer was so quick and straightforward, and that she wanted to fool her casually, so she asked tentatively again: “Really?”
Lin Xi was also stunned, thinking that the promise I made without hesitation was naturally from the heart and sincere. Why did I doubt my sincerity when I got to you?
However, Lin Xi also quickly realized that what Mengna wants to say must be very important, so she needs a trustworthy friend or ally.
"able."
This time Lin Xi said briefly but extremely firmly.
"Lin Xi, it's not that I don't trust you, but, in short, our Mellon Empire is not as calm as it appears. Some things are very secretive. I have to convince myself first and find a reason to tell you." Mengna's expression
I was a little tired and didn't speak loudly.
"You have been trapped for a few days and are not in good spirits?" Lin Xi was originally a classmate and a friend, so he didn't have much concern when he spoke.
Mona is not the one who can't stand the fact that others can reveal her, not to mention that she is still so familiar with the person who makes her imprisoned here.
"I'm fine, I've been trapped for a long time and feel a little depressed. Lin Xi, you must ensure that you can't disclose what I want to say unless it is in special circumstances."
Of course, Lin Xi guessed what Mengna was going to say to him, and also knew that the purpose of Mengna doing this was to help him become her ally, but he felt that this was not Mona's conspiracy, because Mona might
It has reached the point of being isolated and helpless.
"Okay, I promise you."
Mengna nodded and began to speak.
"I was framed by my elder brother, Morgan was locked up here."
...
It turned out that as a staunch ally of the Noqi Empire, although the Mellon Empire was always under the danger of Apomato's annexation, fortunately, the continent was generally stable and there was no major turmoil in recent years, so the Mellon Empire was still relatively stable.
But His Majesty of the Empire, Löw, is a man with strange thoughts and plans.
He only gave birth to one son and one daughter in total. The eldest prince is His Highness Morgan, and Mona is His Highness Princess.
According to common sense, the princess will not participate in political affairs. In fact, before Mona came to Chulin Academy to study, she played the role of a golden princess who was ignorant of the world.
However, His Majesty Lov's "sudden whim" completely changed Mona's life from then on.
His Majesty Lov first asked Mengna to study in Chulin Academy. This move is not worth making a fuss about in front of ordinary merchants or families, but Mengna has a different identity. She is a dignified princess of an empire!
Although he had a good relationship with the Nuoqi Empire, he had to go to another imperial academy to study with the noble status of the princess. This matter was originally an unusual meaning.
In order to reduce criticism from others, going to Chulin Academy is done in secret.
Perhaps others were not sure about His Majesty Lov’s plan to do this, but after staying in Chulin Academy for a while, Mengna still learned from clues about her father’s intention.
His Majesty Lov wanted Mona to grow faster in a foreign country, and at the same time, he could make a group of trustworthy classmates there. Because the classmates there would not come from the Mellon Empire at least.
The subsequent communication with the father also made Mengna understand her father's intentions clearly.
His Majesty Lov wanted Mona to grow faster, and then after returning to China, he could participate in political affairs and compete directly with Prince Morgan!
It turned out that Morgan had always been very dissatisfied with him being just a prince when he was in his thirties, and his father, His Majesty Lov, was very tough. It was really his turn to ascend to the throne of the emperor, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait, so
Morgan cultivated his strength and the dead in the dark. Although he did not act rebellious, his thoughts were still known by the scheming Lof.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the empire, someone was also needed to kill Morgan's arrogance, which made Morgan dare not be so presumptuous, so Mona was chosen by Löw and participated in state affairs as a competitor.
In fact, at first, Mengna had no intention of competing for the throne. After all, her daughter's family had no great expectations for power.
But Morgan didn't think so.
First, the intention of his father, Löv, was obviously for him, and second, it was because his sister Bingxue was smart and immediately showed strong abilities after participating in politics, and she had a tendency to threaten his status.
Therefore, Morgan not only did not restrain his actions, but instead increased his efforts to cultivate his own power in the court.
It was not until this time that Mona truly understood the ultimate intention of his father, Löw.
"Mona, it's really hard for you. You have to face such a complicated situation."
After hearing this, Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh, lamenting the ruthlessness and complexity of the royal family.
It turns out that using Princess Mona to participate in political affairs is not what Löw himself said, but just to kill His Highness Morgan's arrogance, but to achieve his own interests.
Lof was strong and had no intention of abdicating his son Morgan for a while. He was extremely passionate about power and was reluctant to walk down from the throne of the king, willing to retreat behind the scenes of history and be forgotten by people!
However, Morgan has grown more and more prosperous, and has secretly cultivated many loyal forces and dead soldiers. Many ministers in the court have gotten very close to Morgan. Although Morgan did not show his intention to rebel, Morgan is already in his thirties.
It is very clear that this son cannot have much patience, waiting for him to abdicate and give in. If he cannot firmly grasp power, he may be murdered by his son.
So, Lof simply dragged his other child down.
This trick really has a miraculous effect.
Because of Löw himself secretly protecting Mona, Mona quickly became a role in political affairs and gained a foothold in the imperial court's large dye vat. In other words, the reason why Mona was in a very short time was
Morgan felt that she was capable of competing with her. The biggest reason was that Löw supported Mona behind her back!
The brother and sister were then caught in a fight, and instead let Löw watch the show.
When Mengna understood her father, Löv's final plan, she was very angry, but at that time she was already in trouble. Even if she quit voluntarily, she would not let her go if Löv agrees.
