Although it had already been confirmed, when he really confirmed it, he was still in a daze.
"It turned out to be true!"
Chu Jiyao spoke in a daze.
The queen glanced at him disdainfully, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, "From now on, you, the prince of the empire, have a long way to go!"
Chu Jiyao naturally knew that the queen was mocking him, and that becoming the heir apparent at this precarious moment, the responsibilities he would face and bear were not comparable to those in the past when he was stable.
The most important thing is, after the Ninth Prince's physique is made public, what should he do
"The queen will not bother with these."
"Second question?" the queen asked him lightly.
Chu Jiyao regained his composure and continued speaking after a while.
"who are you?"
From Princess Yuyue of Prince Rui's Mansion to the Empress of the Empire, Yuyue took the throne directly at a speed that ordinary people could not understand, and became the most honorable woman in the Empire.
Everyone was against this matter back then, but Emperor Renxiao still insisted on going his own way.
It was also the toughest time since he succeeded to the throne, and no one was allowed to say anything at all.
Later, Prince Rui's residence and Emperor Renxiao both announced to the outside world that Cui Yue was the adopted daughter of Prince Rui's residence.
It can be regarded as calming down the matter temporarily, but Chu Jiyao didn't believe it.
Coupled with Yuyue's performance during this period of time.
It makes people even more suspicious.
"Who am I, don't you know?"
"I'm asking about your real identity." Chu Jiyao specially emphasized this sentence.
Regarding his overly serious attitude, the queen looked at him lightly.
"Jiyue, the princess of the residence of Prince Rui."
"I don't believe it." Chu Jiyao looked at her indifferently.
"If you are really Prince Rui's daughter, why would Father marry you? How dare he marry you?"
Prince Rui and Emperor Renxiao are half-brothers, his daughter marrying his uncle is too outrageous.
In the empire, ordinary people would not get married like this, let alone the emperor.
"Sometimes, it is easier to believe a lie, but it is the truth, no one dares to believe it!"
"Okay, there is one last question, you can ask it!"
The queen didn't give him extra time to think.
Chu Jiyao was very shocked, if Zhui Yue hadn't lied to him, then the Queen and Prince Rui were really father and daughter.
But why
There was no time for him to think about it.
"Okay, one last question, what is your relationship with the Empress Dowager?"
"Hehe, this time you finally asked a question that interests me!"
Speaking of this queen also came to the interest.
"Do you think the Empress Dowager is human?"
"Why did you say that?" Chu Jiyao frowned, not understanding what she was talking about.
"Don't you think she's an old monster? Do you know how old she is?"
The queen asked two questions in a row, leaving Chu Jiyao speechless for a while.
indeed.
If the age of the Empress Dowager is the youngest, she is sixty or seventy years old, but her appearance has always remained in her twenties and thirties.
Including voice, posture, everything seems to stop there.
Time seems to have no proof on her.
But no one dared to question her identity and status.
Just because she is the most honorable person in the empire and the elder with the highest generation.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
These things are known to everyone in the entire empire and even the five countries and ten places.
Before the Empress Dowager married into the empire, she had always looked like this.
If anyone in this world knows her age, the only one is the late King Yan.
At this moment, the queen actually mentioned this, so she had to let it go out and be suspicious.
"What do I want to say? What can I say?"
The queen waved her sleeves and stood up.
Go straight to the window.
Looking at the deep night sky without speaking for a long time, Chu Jiyao didn't rush her.
"I can only tell you that all my strength comes from her!"
After a long time, just when Chu Jiyao thought the queen would not answer him, she spoke up.
"What do you mean?" Chu Jiyao felt that he shouldn't have come to the queen tonight at all.
Knowing, thinking, understanding, all this is too scary.
The queen turned her head to look over, and said with a smile, "This is your fourth question, but I promised to give you three answers for free!"
"If you still need my answer, then exchange it with something equivalent!"
"Are you trying to tell me that the Empress Dowager is presiding over everything here in this palace change? Even you are just a pawn of hers?"
The queen naturally wouldn't answer him, but Chu Jiyao had already got the answer he wanted.
Walking under the night moon in winter, Chu Jiyao tightened his coat, feeling more and more cold.
The news he just received was too terrifying, and he needed to deal with it.
First of all, there is no need for the queen to tell lies at this time. She wants to leave the palace because she wants to escape the control of the empress dowager.
Then, she said that the source of all power comes from the Empress Dowager.
Those spiritual masters, of course, did too.
Why did the empress dowager command so many spiritual masters
She has been cultivating outside for many years, ignoring the affairs of the world, how could she have such great ability
The most important point is that Chu Jiyao couldn't figure out why the Empress Dowager did all this? What is her purpose
Does the emperor know about this? If he doesn't know, should he tell
If he didn't know these things, he would feel lonely when he went out, but after knowing these things, he felt very lonely again.
No one can tell, no one can help him solve his doubts.
One wrong step and you will be lost forever.
Even if he is the crown prince of the empire right now, there is a certain meaning in his father's establishment of him as the crown prince at this moment.
Who could he go to
Suddenly, Chu Jiyao looked at a certain place outside the palace.
Finally strode away.
The door of the Nine Princes' Mansion, which had been closed for several days, was knocked open. Housekeeper Mu yawned and welcomed Chu Jiyao in.
"Your Highness, it's so late, what can you do?"
"My prince is still awake!"
Butler Mu's eight eyes did not like him. After all, this so-called His Royal Highness was once the one who wanted to rob the prince for the princess.
At that time, the princess had already married the prince, but he still didn't give up and caused many troubles.
Now the prince is not feeling well, and the prince, who is in a coma, came to the palace in the middle of the night. Could it be that he came to see the princess
If this doesn't work, he must stop it.
Thinking of this, Butler Mu added, "My concubine is taking care of my prince tirelessly day and night!"
Chu Jiyao glanced at him lightly, how could he not know what the old butler was thinking.
"That's just right, I'm here to find the Ninth Concubine!"
Butler Mu's expression changed instantly.
It's over, what he just said was wrong, it should be said that the princess has already fallen asleep.
"Lead the way ahead!" Before Butler Mu refused, Chu Jiyao walked forward first. He had been to the Ninth Prince's Mansion several times, so he was familiar with it.
Jinghua Garden, the courtyard where the Ninth Prince lived.
When Chu Jiyao and Butler Mu bargained repeatedly and came to the house.
The maid next to her knocked on the door a few times, but there was no movement. Finally, Steward Mu was more worried, and finally pushed the door open and entered, only to find out.
The dear princess of his family was lying on the soft couch and sleeping soundly.
Fortunately, he just told Chu Jiyao that she was taking care of the prince in his clothes.
"It seems that your princess is really tired!"
Chu Jiyao whispered something.
"Yes, so if His Royal Highness has anything to do, you can come back another day!"
Butler Mu replied calmly.
"It's okay, I won't disturb your princess's rest, just wait for her here for a while!"
"The housekeeper doesn't need to accompany me again, I am very familiar with your princess, you are welcome, you go down and rest first!"
Butler Mu and the others stared at him speechlessly.
It seems that now one or two of these masters can't figure out their identities.
This is the one in front of me, but His Royal Highness, the crown prince of the empire, stays in his uncle Wang's room half the night, not to mention, his aunt Wang is still resting here, so he doesn't avoid suspicion.
Besides, who is being polite to you
Who wants to accompany you? If it wasn't for the fear that my concubine would wake up and find no one to serve her, they would have gone down a long time ago.
They didn't move, they stood there like wood, Chu Jiyao didn't care, shook his head slightly, then picked up the teacup on the table next to him, and blew lightly twice.
"It's a bit cold, help me change the pot to warm it up!"
everyone,...
Half an hour later, they stared at Chu Jiyao, not waiting for Xiao Ting to wake up.
But there was another good news.
Ninth Prince woke up.
After sleeping in a coma for several days, no one could find out what was wrong with him. Butler Mu was in a hurry, and the emperor went around the imperial physician in the palace as if going through the motions, but there was still no progress.
If Xiao Ting hadn't told Steward Mu that she had a solution, she would have gone outside to hire a famous doctor.
"My lord, you are awake!"
The Ninth Prince woke up, his eyes turned around the people around him, and when he saw Chu Jiyao again, he was slightly stunned, but then he looked away, and he didn't settle down until he found Xiao Ting.
"What happened to the princess?"
He lifted the quilt and got out of bed directly, and walked in front of Xiao Ting.
Steward Mu quickly explained, "Don't worry, my lord, the princess is just asleep. She has been taking care of you non-stop for the past few days, and she is very worried!"
After hearing this, the Ninth Prince did not give him any response, leaned over and hugged Xiao Ting by the waist, then put her back on the bed, helped her tuck the corners of the quilt, and then turned to look at the others.
"follow me!"
Ninth Prince casually took a coat and put it on himself, and nodded to Chu Jiyao.
At the same time, he ordered Housekeeper Mu to ask someone to take care of Xiao Ting.
"You are not in the palace in the middle of the night, why come to my Nine Princes Mansion?"
Ninth Prince asked questions unhurriedly, then raised his head and glanced at him.
"I learned something today, and I don't know who to tell!"
Because of Xiao Ting's relationship, there is almost no intersection between Chu Jiyao and the Ninth Prince.
Chu Jiyao also never admitted that Xiao Ting was a good match for the Ninth Prince.
In his imagination, the two of them are not the same people at all, and they cannot be compared.
However, he couldn't say that the Ninth Prince was not good enough for Xiao Ting.
Whether he admits it or not, the Ninth Prince is indeed blessed.
