After he was expelled from the royal family, he no longer had the chance to ascend to the throne. The people he had gathered around him were bound to have some uneasy thoughts, but these people did not take the initiative to leave him or seek better opportunities elsewhere. In order to stabilize the remaining people, he could not take the initiative to attack these people.
However, these people cannot stay with him for long. Once they are determined to rebel, they will incite more people. How to not hurt the hearts of his followers and get rid of these people with two minds is probably one of the reasons why Xiao Changtai went to the trouble of looking for Ye Wantang.
If these people had not wavered in the slightest, even if Xiao Changtai had deep feelings for Ye Wantang, he would not have come to take Ye Wantang away with injuries. He would have to wait until he was stable and then find a chance to sneak back, so that he could take Ye Wantang away and do something else.
"I didn't even think of this step." Shen Xihe laughed. The prince's mind was indeed unfathomable.
"That's because Youyou is upright and underestimated his despicableness." Xiao Huayong was not taking the opportunity to flatter, but he really believed so. Shen Xihe would never set up such a situation of abandonment for someone who would accompany him through life and death.
Xiao Changtai had already guessed that there were dangers all around when he went to Beijing this time. Whether it was him, the Xiao Changqing brothers whom Xiao Changtai sought help from, or others, everyone wanted to put him to death. Even if these people did not go that far, he would direct and act it out himself, and let those followers who thought they were just ordinary protection and the last fulfillment of the master-servant friendship die gloriously.
"There are three benefits to this," Xiao Huayong analyzed to Shen Xihe, "First, he can eliminate the followers who have second thoughts; second, such a heroic sacrifice will inspire others who have never thought of betraying to follow him to death, which can stabilize the king's heart when the army is shaken; third..."
After a light shout, Xiao Huayong smiled mockingly: "He has made such a great sacrifice for the Ye family. In the eyes of the Ye family, he must be very loyal and righteous. Some of the previous barriers will disappear because of this."
After Shen Xihe heard this, he agreed with it deeply, and then looked at Xiao Huayong with a half-smile: "Your Highness, look, if a girl falls in love with such a cunning and impure man, how sad and terrible it would be."
Is Xiao Changtai not sincere towards Ye Wantang
Of course he was sincere, but he knew clearly what Ye Wantang was afraid of, yet he still wanted to restrain her, and at the same time he couldn't give up his own pursuit. For his own selfish reasons, he wanted to trap her in the name of love.
It is easy to find priceless treasures, but hard to find a lover.
There are very few men in this world who are devoted to only one girl for their entire life, and Ye Wantang has one. So even though she knew that this love was like trying to play with fire, she still couldn't let it go and chose to throw herself into the fire.
"It's very sad and terrible." Xiao Huayong nodded, "In fact, Youyou should have seen that Xiao Changtai and I are the same kind of people. I want both the world and the beauty. The difference is that Ye and Youyou are not the same kind of people."
Ye pursues peace and stability, and love between husband and wife. She is a typical little woman. If she meets someone like Xiao Changyu, they will definitely live in harmony with each other, and she will definitely be a good wife and mother.
Shen Xihe is different. She has no ambition to pursue power, but she is not afraid of the pursuit of power. She is forced to embark on this path of competition and has no choice to be content with mediocrity.
