Soon the two returned to the mansion, but this time Ning Ye led Chu Yuye to his study.

Princesses are indeed very intimidating to ordinary people, but in Ning Ye's eyes, there is no difference at all; at most, it's just a difference in the starting line.

When only the two of them remained in the room, Ning Ye became much more relaxed. He casually found a chair and sat down, gesturing for Chu Yuye to sit down as well.

Although this move was highly inappropriate, Chu Yuye still wanted to sit down and listen to what Ning Ye had to say.

Ning Ye really knows how to say something shocking; the moment he opened his mouth, he almost made Chu Yuye stand up again.

"I think His Majesty's days are numbered. If we don't hurry, some things may be too late."

Chu Yuye asked with a hint of surprise, "How do you know about this?"

Ning Ye spoke eloquently, "That's relatively easy to deduce. After all, I've studied what this emperor did in the past, and I believe he's a powerful ruler. If he weren't old and frail, he wouldn't have just issued a warrant for arrest in this matter."

"Is that all? Is that all there is to it?"

Ning Ye continued, "Furthermore, we can also tell from the rebellions in various places and the inaction of these officials that a wise emperor would not allow so many things to happen in his dynasty."

Chu Yuye fell silent. He knew that these things would eventually come to light, but he never expected that even in such a remote place, they had already been almost completely predicted.

Just as Ning Ye had thought, it was precisely because His Majesty the Emperor was now powerless that so many things had happened.

The chaos in the world is already the biggest problem; the only question is when it will completely descend into chaos. When His Majesty the Emperor finally dies, no one will be able to tolerate it any longer.

"Is that all you wanted to tell me? I am just a woman, and my brother has no chance even if he wanted to."

A hint of excitement shone in Ning Ye's eyes. "There has never been a saying in this world that women cannot be in charge. When the emperor really leaves, will you be able to protect your brother?"

Even now, I feel like my head is in a mess, and I don't know how to answer what Ning Ye said, because what Ning Ye said is indeed true.

No one can truly protect someone for a lifetime, and the other princes would not allow a threat to remain under their noses.

Not to mention those uncles, they're probably all itching to get their hands on him, and none of them are easy to deal with.

When the wolves actually came, were you really going to imagine that they wouldn't eat people?

Ning Ye said softly, "Your Highness, there's no need to think too much. You just need to think about whether you want to end up being at the mercy of others. Nothing else matters."

Chu Yuye's small fists suddenly clenched. "Do you think I wanted this? Do you think I willingly fell to this level? If I had a choice, who would willingly let themselves be slaughtered like this?"

“Very good, Your Highness. It’s never too late to do things. The only problem is that you’re not willing to do them. If you are willing to do them, there is still room for things to turn around.”

"What's the use of saying all this? Ultimately, I can't control this world, so what does it have to do with me?"

Ning Ye suddenly said loudly, "What men can do, women can do too. As long as Your Highness is willing to be someone the people care about, I am willing to help Your Highness."

Chu Yuye chuckled, "Young Master Ning, do you even know what you're saying? And how ridiculous it is?"

Ning Ye, however, said nonchalantly, "The truly laughable people are those who know their fate but do nothing. Only such people are truly remarkable. Does the princess really want to be such a ridiculous person? Is she unwilling to make a serious effort for herself even once?"

“I am a woman. How could a woman possibly hold such a high position? How could anyone possibly believe me? No one. Why should I believe you?”

Ning Ye said with utmost seriousness, "You have no way out, while I am willing to give you a new chance. I am willing to risk being executed along with my entire family to say these words to you."

Ning Ye believed he was not the kind of person who could misjudge others. Although they had only met briefly twice, Chu Yuye's concern for the people was genuine.

It can be said that Chu Yuye's worries were palpable and genuine.

A sentimental person may not achieve great things, but a person who has no concern for the people, even if they achieve great things, will not change anything about the world.

The group leader doesn't care who he helps, but the person must have the people's well-being in mind. If they can cooperate well, then it's not a problem if things continue like this.

If things are different, and Ning Ye truly grows to that point, he believes that even if he wanted to change the dynasty, it wouldn't be too difficult.

Therefore, compared to those ambitious princes, this princess should be easier to control. Moreover, although the Daqian Dynasty has no female emperor, there was one before.

"What you've said isn't enough to sway me. I'll pretend I never heard you say anything today, and that's the end of it, as if you never said anything at all."

Ning Ye suddenly moved closer to Chu Yuye, almost touching her face. With their faces so close, Chu Yuye felt she should slap him, but she ultimately didn't raise her hand.

"The people of this world need someone to help them, even if it's just a small change, it would be enough to make their lives much better than before. Are you really prepared to be a lamb to the slaughter?"

Chu Yuye's mind was now filled with Ning Ye's bold words, which were indeed far too audacious.

The two fell into silence, and no one knew how much time had passed when a different look suddenly appeared in Chu Yuye's eyes.

"Young Master Ning, can I really believe what you're saying? Can I really believe you're not planning to harm me?"

Ning Ye straightened up and smiled slightly, "Your Highness, we have no enmity between us. Why would I risk having my entire family executed to harm you? That's simply impossible. Even so, do you still have doubts?"
