Chapter 5182: Abandoned Child Sudden Resurrection

The people in Shenxia Imperial City are much more cautious and dare not act or speak like Ye Wudao. Their styles are very different.

The longer they practice Taoism, the more cautious they are and dare not speak like Ye Wudao.

"Fellow Daoist Ye." The fifth prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Even though I agree that your ability has flaws, you also have unique advantages. If you can turn from darkness to light, I will definitely use you. How can I let you retreat?"

"Don't say anything about resigning."

After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "Now no matter who Wu Shangshu belongs to, I can't do without him. What Fellow Daoist Ye said to Wu Shangshu before, are there some speculations in it?"

Ye Wudao smiled, "It's just probability. I guess that Wu Shangshu is not wholeheartedly on the side of Your Highness, and there may be suspicion of betting on both sides."

The fifth prince sighed, "The human heart is like the weather, it is changeable, just like you, Fellow Daoist, and Wu Shangshu. In the final analysis, if you don't make people completely loyal, you are wrong."

"If Fellow Daoist can choose the right wise master, this situation will never happen again."

The so-called wise master he mentioned is naturally himself.

After saying the nice words, he changed the subject.

"Now... did you reveal your intention to join me when you were with the Sixth Princess?"

Ye Wudao pretended to smile bitterly: "How can you say that you are exposed? From the beginning to the end, I was just an abandoned pawn, but this abandoned pawn suddenly came back to life and forced the Sixth Princess to use me."

"The Sixth Princess did not show any sincerity to me at the beginning, but Your Highness showed sincerity to me. Even if I did something wrong, Your Highness chose to forgive me. I thought about it and finally figured it out. Your Highness is the bright side."

This explanation is very reasonable. The Fifth Prince did the same thing at the beginning. He did not say that he would kill Ye Wudao directly. Instead, the Sixth Princess directly regarded Ye Wudao as an abandoned pawn at the beginning.

The Fifth Prince was not actually aware of the subsequent developments. He did not know much about the situation in the Sixth Princess's mansion. Although the Sixth Princess seemed weaker than him, her control over her own power was still better than that of the Fifth Prince.

The fifth prince said, "Try to keep my sixth sister steady and don't let her know that you have surrendered to me. At least I need information from her. It would be best if I could find out more."

Ye Wudao clasped his fists and bowed, "Your Highness, please rest assured. I will try my best to keep her steady." M.

"Well, go and call Minister Wu back for me, and then go about your own business. Help me come up with a few plans to deal with the situation ahead."

"Of course, if you have a plan now, you can also propose it to me."

Ye Wudao smiled bitterly, "I haven't come up with a good plan yet. Let me think about it for a few more days. I will definitely give you a few good ideas to help you ascend the throne."

"If you can become a king, you will have a chance to become an emperor." The fifth prince said, "I dare not promise more, but if you can succeed, I will ensure that you will be safe and prosperous for the rest of your life. Even if you become an immortal, it will not be difficult!"

Ye Wudao stood up and clasped his fists and bowed again.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Ye." The fifth prince also stood up, with a respectful attitude.

Asking Ye Wudao to call Wu Shangshu over was also meant to warn Wu Shangshu. Ye Wudao knew it well, but he didn't say much and took the order and left.

Not long after, Ye Wudao returned to the government office of the Ministry of Works and took the initiative to ask for an audience with Wu Shangshu.

Entering the door, Wu Shangshu was writing documents slowly and said leisurely: "Fellow Daoist Ye, don't think I didn't see that you are still on the same page with us."

"The Sixth Princess is so anxious that she wants you to be a hidden man and lurk beside His Highness?"

"If she thinks so, she is wrong, and you are also wrong. My position is irreplaceable."

Even he called Ye Wudao a fellow Daoist, which shows that Ye Wudao's position in their eyes is already different.
