Chapter 824: 421 One Word to Throw the Kingdom into Chaos?

421 One Word to Throw the Kingdom into Chaos?

"It seems you should understand what I really want to say..."

Looking at the Princess, who was suddenly shocked and subconsciously clenched her fists, Li Ang sighed:

"Just like you summarized yourself just now, you and your reformists represent the royal family that 'wants to take back power,' not the royal family that 'wants the Kingdom to be prosperous and ordinary people no longer suffering.'"

"For the royal family, and even for the King, these 'reforms' you are pushing are not the ultimate goal, but more of a means to take back power. The reformist faction you represent is actually not speaking for the royal family at all."

"..."

Hearing Li Ang's summary, Princess Veronica subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about the situation of the royal family, she couldn't help but bite her lip hard.

Indeed... what she wanted was never what the royal family wanted.

Even among the reforms she pushed, many had to cut meat from the royal family itself. So although her greatest "power" came from the support of the royal family, she was never the spokesperson for the royal family.

"Also, among the four factions in the capital now, the difference between your reformists and the other three factions is very large."

After looking at the Princess's somewhat pale lips, Li Ang reminded her somewhat unbearably:

"Whether it is the noble faction or the parliamentary faction, they are speaking for the class they come from and fighting for interests for the forces behind them. Only your reformists are different."

"Your greatest support comes from the royal family, but the things you want to push and fight for have a great conflict with the interests of the royal family, or are even completely contradictory. So your 'base' is actually not as stable as the other three factions."

"The reason why there are no problems now is that your main goal in the past has always been to take back the power seized by the old nobles, and to regulate commercial activities to avoid the parliament passing some too outrageous things."

"This point is consistent with the idea of the royal family taking back power. After all, your identity is the Princess, and the power cake you grabbed is also equal to entering the royal family's mouth, so the royal family has always supported you, but..."

"But it will be different later, right?"

Leaning helplessly on the back of the chair, Princess Veronica said with a pale face:

"Father... the royal family's tolerance for me is limited to those unimportant parts. Once I try to push reforms comprehensively and start to divide the cake in the hands of the royal family, the support for me will stop immediately."

"This is really... I originally thought that those measures could make the Kingdom, which was like stagnant water, come alive, and even become more and more prosperous from then on. This kind of thing that is beneficial to all royal families, they would naturally be willing to support me, but... I thought about it too simply..."

"Not necessarily, after all, I am just guessing out of thin air."

Looking at her look of being lost, Li Ang couldn't help but comfort her:

"The measures you push can make the Kingdom's cake bigger. Maybe the royal family will still support you. These things may not necessarily happen."

"Not necessarily, it will definitely happen."

Closing her beautiful eyes slightly, the Princess, leaning helplessly on the back of the chair, smiled bitterly:

"Before you appeared, although he knew Watching Watching Qiaoshuya was not talented, Father... he still wanted to marry me off, and all the targets he chose were people from other kingdoms."

"I originally thought that he was preparing to marry me off when I encountered obstacles in pushing reforms and the contradictions between the factions in the Kingdom were intensified, in order to eliminate disputes and stabilize the chaotic situation. But now it seems that he probably thought about it even 'earlier'."

After thinking about the documents she moved home yesterday, Princess Veronica said with a complex look:

"If I'm not mistaken, Father should be waiting patiently now."

"He is waiting for me to push the selection order, complete the rectification of the military, and suppress the influence of the old nobles in the military; waiting for me to propose the expansion of citizens' voting rights at the parliament in a few days, and slowly divide the power in the hands of big businessmen and the Prime Minister."

"And after I finish these two things and solve the constraints of the nobles and the parliament for him, as long as he finds a more distant kingdom and marries me off, this troublesome daughter who has whimsical ideas, then everything else will not be a problem."

"..."

"Hehe, no family affection, only interests. This is truly the style of the royal family."

After glancing at Li Ang, who was silent opposite, Princess Veronica laughed at herself:

"Clearly, as long as I complete the marriage with you, the reform can be pushed through completely. But I went to Father several times, and he didn't express his position directly in the end, but was a bit noncommittal."

"I originally thought that he hoped to help Watching Watching Qiaoshuya sit on the throne, so he didn't want me to have too much power, giving Watching Watching Qiaoshuya a chance to struggle. But what I didn't expect was that he had never considered me as a daughter at all. I am just a tool used to clear obstacles!"

"..."

Ah this... I seem to have poked a hornet's nest...

Looking at the Princess, whose pale neck had faint blue blood vessels and whose cheeks were flushed with an abnormal red, Li Ang couldn't help but open his mouth, wanting to comfort her but not knowing what to say, so he could only say dryly:

"That... do you want to eat something first?"

"Sorry, I probably can't eat it."

The Princess, whose emotions had always been very stable, lost her composure this time. After smiling miserably with a pale face, she stood up and stumbled toward the door.

Finding that her emotional state was not quite right, and even had a sign of turning black, Li Ang hurriedly reached out to help her and couldn't help but ask:

"Where are you going?"

"I..."

The Princess, who was held by Li Ang's arm, gritted her teeth, then took a deep breath, pushed away Li Ang's hand, and bit her lip:

"I'm going back to finish what I should do..."

What you should do... what do you mean by what you should do?

Hearing her answer, Li Ang's heart couldn't help but be shocked.

Looking at your current mental state, the so-called "what you should do" wouldn't be what I said before, gathering a team of guards to kill into the palace, making your father hand over the throne immediately, and hanging anyone who opposes it, right?!

Ah this... I was just chatting with you while waiting for dinner, how did it turn into a bloody coup?

"This... do you want to think about it again?"

Looking at the Princess, whose eyes were full of resentment, unwillingness, and a hint of sadness that was hard to hide, Li Ang hurriedly held her back and persuaded her incoherently:

"I'm not against you seeking justice for yourself, but can you prepare more?

If you kill into the palace now, what if you are not prepared enough, don't beat the palace guards, and are counter-killed by your father? You'd better plan for a few more days!"

"You... what are you talking about!"

Hearing Li Ang's words, even though she was full of resentment now, Princess Veronica couldn't help but stay for a while, then stomped her feet hard and glared back angrily.

"No matter what, that is my father. He just wants to marry me off, not want my life! How could I do that!"

"Oh, I see..."

"..."

Looking at Li Ang, who let out a long breath and sat back down after letting go of her arm, Princess Veronica's lips couldn't help but twitch.

I how feel... just now I didn't act impulsively, you seem a bit disappointed? ===== CHAPTER 825 =====
