Gu Xijiu had a bad feeling about it. She bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm very grateful for your kindness. However, I'm just a commoner and it's not appropriate for me to sit here. I'd better leave. "She turned her head and was about to leave.
The Emperor pulled her back, "Xijiu, you'll be part of the royal family sooner or later. You're not a commoner anymore. Sit down first."
Part of the royal family sooner or later?!
Gu Xijiu frowned. Did the Emperor want her to marry Rong Yan?
According to the law of the Tianxing Kingdom, if Rong Yan's crime of killing Count Le Hua was proven, he would be banished to be a commoner even if he was not beheaded.
Did the Emperor have other plans? Did he want to use her as a backup plan for Rong Yan?
She smiled and thought, "Wishful thinking!"
The Emperor had invited quite a number of people, including Gu Xietian, Rong Jialuo, Rong Che, Rong Chu, and a few other princes.
All kinds of delicacies were served by the palace maids and eunuchs and placed on the mahogany table in front of them.
The Emperor first praised Gu Xijiu's medical skills and his tone was full of gratification. He then changed the topic and asked Gu Xijiu, "Xijiu, who did you learn your medical skills from?"
Gu Xijiu was already mentally prepared for this and answered, "I read some medical books during my free time. It's self-taught."
The Emperor frowned and repeated, "Self-taught?"
Gu Xijiu nodded, "Yes."
"Xijiu, you're lying!" The Emperor tapped the table with his finger and said coldly.
Gu Xijiu did not panic. She just frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, why do you say so?"
The Emperor said, "Where did you get your medical books from? Do you know that the medical books from different sects are not distributed to outsiders? The medical books that are circulating in the market are very common. The medical books that you memorized during the duel with Saint Gu are the essence of medical books. They are not available in the market! As far as I know, there are not many books in General Gu's house and there are even fewer medical books. Xijiu, where did you get these medical books from? "
Gu Xijiu could not help but send a directed audio to the Firmament Stone, "Why didn't you tell me about these rules earlier?" She had made a low-level lie and was exposed by the Firmament Stone.
The Firmament Stone felt wronged. "I don't think these are important …"
Gu Xijiu was speechless and decided to ignore it for the time being.
"Little Jiu, don't lie to your father. Why don't you tell the truth?" Gu Xietian was afraid that his daughter would lie again, so he quickly reminded her.
The people present were basically old foxes in the government, and it was not easy to fool them. At this moment, they were all looking at Gu Xijiu, waiting for her answer.
This matter was indeed hard to explain. She couldn't possibly say that she was a transmigrator, could she?
Seeing that these people were so sensitive about the matter of possession and rebirth, once they knew her true identity, they would not be happy or curious. Instead, they would directly burn her like a demon!
She made up her mind and told him an excuse that was a favorite of those who came from another world. She sighed deeply and said, "It's not that I want to lie, but I have my reasons. I'm afraid that I'll be punished by the heavens if I tell them …"
The Emperor's eyebrows twitched, "Punishment from the heavens? Could it be that your skills are gifted by the heavens?! "
Smart! He could actually guess the reason that she wanted to tell! It seemed that there was indeed such a thing as' gifted by the heavens' in this world. Then, it would be more reasonable for her to tell the lie. Gu Xijiu nodded, "To be honest, Your Majesty, I'm indeed gifted by the heavens."
