Chu Ye looked at the prince. He didn't expect that at this time, the prince would say such words directly.

"Does my brother think I will compete with you for the throne?" Chu Ye saw the prince say that, and directly asked what he thought, "It's because my father asked me to come to Jiangnan?"

He did have the intention of fighting for the throne, but it was not because Emperor Longzong asked him to come to Jiangnan.

Chu Ye had been living silently in the capital before, and never thought about fighting for anything.

But after meeting Shen Qingxi, Chu Ye felt that it was okay to fight with her and the eldest princess.

He didn't want to hide anything from the prince, but he just felt that it was not the best time to say it out.

"Isn't it?" In the prince's opinion, since Emperor Longzong asked Chu Ye to come to Jiangnan, it means he valued him. Chu Ye is also the prince of the Great Zhou. Even if he wants to fight for the throne, it is not impossible. "Did your father value you so much during this period, don't you have any other ideas?"

The prince was pampered since childhood and was highly valued by Emperor Longzong. Even though the third prince had been coveting the position of the prince for so many years, it did not pose a substantial threat to him.

But Chu Ye is different. Behind Chu Ye is the Gu family. Although Gu Zhao has already handed over military power, the century-old military general family is not a false reputation.

This is what the prince cares most about, especially since he is now infected with the Japanese flowers, which makes the prince feel even more uneasy and worried.

The prince always knew that although he was the heir to the future monarch appointed by Emperor Longzong, he had never had the support of troops behind him.

Even if he married Chen Zhiqiu, those troops could not compete with the Gu family, let alone Chu Ye is now with Shen Qingxi again, and the Marquis of Dingguo will definitely stand on his side.

In this way, if Chu Ye really wants to fight for the throne, he has almost no chance of winning.

This is the reason why the prince didn't want to see Chu Ye coming to Jiangnan. If he handled the matter in Jiangnan perfectly, wouldn't he be even more dangerous?

When Chu Ye saw the prince's face flashing with a cruel expression when he spoke, he knew that as long as he showed a little bit of his desire to fight for the throne, he might be killed.

"Brother is thinking too much." Chu Ye said lightly. He was unwilling to pay attention to the prince's thoughts. "I have always known what I am in my father. Brother, please don't test me again."

No matter whether the prince was testing him or really knowing something, Chu Ye would not admit it.

Before he was fully confident, he would never reveal his thoughts, as it would only bring danger to himself and Shen Qingxi.

"I hope I'm thinking too much." The prince leaned on the back of the chair, staring at Chu Ye's eyes and said something lightly, "Seventh brother, I always think you are a very smart person. Since that's the case, you should know what I mean by saying these words?"

Chu Ye naturally understood what the prince said meant, but at this moment he could only pretend not to understand anything and look at him quietly.

His silence made the prince unable to hold it back for a while, and he said, "Seventh brother, if you don't want to fight for that position, why don't you... come to the eldest brother to help you? The eldest brother will definitely not treat you badly in the future. What do you think?"
