"What else do you want?"
Seeing that Qin Yichen did not speak, Xia Ziling could not take it anymore and asked.
"Your Highness, do you have any thoughts of fighting for the throne?"
Qin Yichen thought for a while and looked straight into her eyes.
Actually, he did not have absolute confidence.
This was because Xia Ziling could very well be a free and unfettered princess. Moreover, she had her own territory now and was no longer the canary locked in the imperial palace.
Fighting for the position of Crown Prince was a very dangerous thing.
"Fight for it?"
Xia Ziling was confused at first, but she understood after a while.
Then, the room fell into a dead silence.
Xia Ziling's brows furrowed tightly.
Qin Yichen opposite her still looked indifferent, as if he did not care about her choice at all.
"I..."
After a long time, Xia Ziling lowered her head and said with a voice full of uncertainty.
Yes, her talent was not inferior to any of the princes or princesses. However, she was a girl.
How could a girl become the Crown Prince and the ruler of the Duchy?
This was something that had never happened in the Duchy before.
Furthermore, if she wanted to fight for the throne, she would have to face too many enemies, so many that she could not take it.
She wanted to reject.
However, at this moment, she understood why Qin Yichen gave her the Imperial Jade Seal.
"Is Your Highness worried about something?"
Qin Yichen chuckled and attracted her attention.
"I..."
Xia Ziling bit her lower lip and did not say anything.
She did not have any confidence to fight with the princes.
She had nothing now.
"Qin Yichen, do you know who are the princes fighting for the throne now?"
She felt that she had to remind Qin Yichen.
If they did not fight for the throne now, Qin Yichen's only enemy was the Li family.
However, if they fought for the throne, they would offend most of the major powers in the Duchy.
"Of course I know."
A mysterious smile appeared on Qin Yichen's lips as he reminded her softly, "Your Highness, have you forgotten about the heir of King Xiaoyao in President Hai's Alchemy Room?"
"Xia Ziyi?"
Xia Ziling exclaimed softly and then looked at him in disbelief.
She did not expect that Qin Yichen would target King Xiaoyao, who did not care about worldly affairs.
King Xiaoyao did not interfere with the politics of the imperial court.
This was something that everyone knew.
Did Qin Yichen think that King Xiaoyao would change because of him?
"Impossible. Freedom King would never show himself."
Xia Ziling shook her head and felt that it was impossible.
"How would you know if you don't try?"
Qin Yichen remained calm and composed.
"You …"
Xia Ziling's gaze fell on him again. Her eyes were a little blurred. She realized that she could no longer see through this young man who was only a few years older than her.
How could Qin Yichen say such words with such confidence?
King Xiaoyao was not easy to persuade.
First of all, he did not lack anything. Power and wealth were all at his fingertips.
Xia Ziling could not think of any way that Qin Yichen could persuade him.
"If I can persuade King Xiaoyao, would Your Highness be willing to fight for it?"
Qin Yichen looked serious.
If Xia Ziling was unwilling, he could only find someone else.
His purpose was to stop the Li family.
Xia Ziling was silent. She frowned and thought.
Did she have no ambition?
No, on the contrary, it was because she was not satisfied with the status quo that she went to the Martial Arts Conference to obtain the qualification to enter the Tower of Twilight.
She could never forget the faces of those princes and princesses.
She had been bullied since she was young.
As a princess of the imperial family, she did not even have a servant by her side!
Now, Qin Yichen gave her a chance to trample on those people. Was she going to give up?
"I'll fight for it!"
Xia Ziling raised her head and clenched her fists. She looked determined.
The worst that could happen was death!
If the son of Imperial Concubine Li ascended to the position of Crown Prince, then her fate would not be any better.
"Your Highness is indeed an ambitious person."
At this moment, Qin Yichen finally showed a happy smile.
In this world, the strong were respected!
Although Xia Ziling was a girl, she had the Martial Soul of the imperial family. Based on this, she was qualified to fight for the position of Crown Prince.
Perhaps she did not realize that it was because she was qualified to fight for the position of Crown Prince that the other princes and princesses ostracized and suppressed her. They wanted her to be unable to recover from the setback.
"What do you need me to do?"
Although she had agreed, Xia Ziling was at a loss as to what to do next.
At this moment, Qin Yichen seemed to have become her backbone.
"Your Highness, what you need to do is to conquer Xuanyun County. Leave the rest to me!"
Qin Yichen stood up, opened the window and looked in a certain direction.
That was where Lord Xiaoyao's residence was located.
As long as he could persuade the highly respected King Xiaoyao, then this matter would be considered as half a success.
However, Qin Yichen did not have much confidence in Lord Xiaoyao.
However, Qin Yichen had heard some things about Lord Xiaoyao.
The reason why Lord Xiaoyao had retired from the world was to take care of a woman.
That woman was Xia Ziyi's mother.
She was the love of Lord Xiaoyao's life.
Even heroes could not resist the charms of beautiful women.
Lord Xiaoyao had given up his throne in order to dote on her for the rest of his life. In order to take care of the sickly Xia Ziyi, he had given up his unparalleled power.
For a man to do this for a woman, it showed how much he loved her.
In the following days, Qin Yichen did not step out of the Dankai. While he was teaching Xia Ziyi, he was also trying to find out more about Princess Xiaoyao.
"My mother, she …"
Speaking of her mother, Xia Ziyi's face turned gloomy.
"What's wrong? Is Princess Xiaoyao feeling unwell?"
Qin Yichen pretended to be surprised and asked.
In fact, the people of Twilight City had a certain understanding of the matter regarding Princess Xiaoyao.
Of course, they could not tell the reason. They only knew that Princess Xiaoyao was weak and sick. She rarely left the house once or twice a year.
Logically speaking, if Princess Xiaoyao was really sick, she should have been cured long ago. Why did she not get better after so many years?
It was obvious that this illness was not normal.
"Sigh …"
Thinking of her mother's condition, Xia Ziyi lowered her head and lost interest in alchemy. "Mother has a strange illness …"
"What is it? What are the symptoms?"
