There was still a gentle smile on Chu Liyu's face. Even the angle of his smile did not change. However, the way he looked at Jiujiu became gentler as if he was deeply in love with her. "Your Majesty, how do you think I compare to my brother?"
Jiujiu blinked and looked at Chu Liyu in confusion. She did not know what he meant. Why did he suddenly ask how he compared to Chu Lige? 1357924?
Chu Liyu saw the puzzled expression on Jiujiu's face. He chuckled and continued, "I recommend myself to serve Your Majesty."
Did he mean to ask for sex?
Jiujiu, "…"
Chu Li Yu did not mind Jiu Jiu's silence and continued, "I am now eighteen years old and Your Highness is fourteen. Although Your Highness has already done the deed of husband and wife with my royal brother, I am still willing to be with Your Highness. What does Your Highness think?"
Jiujiu frowned. She did not know how to answer.
Her rationality told her to scold Chu Liyu. However, she did not know why she did not want to.
She was too disgusted by Chu Lige. Not to mention having children with him, even his touch was disgusting. Therefore, she had always been prepared to protect other concubines' children. However, now …
Jiujiu looked at Chu Liyu, who was standing in front of her with a handsome face and a smile on his face. She hesitated for a moment.
Should she make Chu Lige a cuckold?
Chu Liyu saw that Jiujiu was deep in thought. He continued to stand aside and look at Jiujiu. It was not until the sky was dark that he said softly, "I'll wait for Your Majesty's arrival again tomorrow."
After Chu Liyu finished speaking, he walked directly to the rockery at the side.
When Jiujiu returned to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, Chu Li Ge was already sitting inside. His face was filled with irritation, but when Jiujiu returned, he instantly revealed a considerate smile. He held Jiujiu's little hand and moved Jiujiu to the dining table as he asked softly, "Where did the Empress go today?"
Jiujiu: "This concubine saw that the scenery in the Imperial Garden was not bad and unconsciously became dazzled. Your Majesty won't blame this concubine, right?"
Chu Li Ge answered, "Of course not."
The two of them finished their meal. Since it was Jiujiu's day today, Chu Li Ge naturally could not spend time with her. He could only casually exchange a few words with her before he turned around and left.
It was not until Chu Lige's figure could no longer be seen that Lu Yu walked out from the side. As she helped Jiujiu untie her hair bun, she asked softly, "My Lady, are you with Prince Heqing?"
Jiujiu pursed her lips and held her chin with one hand. After thinking for a bit, she said, "There are fifteen people. Why haven't they come over in a few days?"
Lu Yu lowered her head and immediately knelt on the ground, "Reporting to my Lady, Fifteen is gone."
Jiujiu was stunned and looked at Lu Yu in confusion, "What do you mean? What do you mean, Fifteen is gone?"
Lu Yu knelt on the ground and softly said, "That day, my Lady had this servant go find Fifteen, but when this servant went to the place that the general had told me, there was no one called Fifteen there. My Lady, do you think that it was the Emperor who …?"
Jiujiu shook her head.
It could not be Chu Li Ge. Back then, the original owner had used the hidden guard to steal the defensive map.
Wait, the original owner did not summon the hidden guard until she had no other choice. At that time, she thought that it was a hidden guard that her father had left for her.
The original owner had only ordered the hidden guard to steal the defensive map to make poison for her and to help her kill Imperial Concubine Li and Imperial Concubine Li's son.
As for whether or not the defensive map had fallen into the hands of the enemy country, the original owner did not know.
And now, on the third day that she had entered the palace, she could not find the hidden guard that originally belonged to her. Then, who were the hidden guards that helped the original owner take revenge for her?
Thinking like this, Jiujiu instantly broke out in a cold sweat. She originally thought that she only needed to deal with Chu Li Ge alone, but now there was an opponent that she could not see through.
Thinking of the current Chu Li Yu.
Could it be that the hidden guards at that time were not Mu Ran Wei's people, but Chu Li Yu's people? It was Chu Li Yu who used the original owner to kill Chu Li Ge, kill Chu Li Ge's descendants, and get rid of everything that hindered his ascension. Once the fire was over, he would be the only legitimate successor of the Great Han Dynasty.
If it really was as Jiujiu thought, then Chu Li Yu would be the final winner.
Jiujiu broke out in a cold sweat for no reason.
Lu Chi had been kneeling on the ground the entire time and did not know what Jiujiu was thinking. When Jiujiu called for him to get up, he saw Jiujiu's green and purple complexion and softly called out: "Empress."
Jiujiu waved her hand and took a deep breath to calm the fear in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said: "Think of a way to send a message to Father. Tell Father that I want to see him."
Lu Chi was startled and nodded: "This servant obeys."
Lu Chi left and Jiujiu was left alone in the huge palace. Jiujiu climbed onto the bed and wrapped herself in a blanket.
If her guess was correct, then the final winner would be Chu Li Yu. Then, should she go against Chu Li Yu or should she befriend him?
Or, she could use Chu Li Yu to give birth to a child and then support him to be the Emperor.
However, Chu Li Yu's thoughts were too deep. If she did not do a good job, she would be doomed eternally. Jiujiu was here to be the Empress Dowager this time, not to be held hostage.
She had to be very careful.
The next day, when Jiujiu arrived at the Imperial Garden, Chu Li Yu was already in a daze.
However, there was no one around. Jiujiu was alerted. She had been alone with Chu Li Yu for two days, but Chu Li Ge did not know anything. It was obvious that the huge palace was already in Chu Li Yu's hands.
The reason why Chu Li Yu let Chu Li Ge become the Emperor was just to watch the show.
Jiujiu then realized what kind of person she was working with. This was what it meant to ask a tiger for its skin.
Jiujiu gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. Before she could speak, Chu Li Yu suddenly said: "Is the Empress looking for someone called the Fifteenth Prince?"
Jiujiu's body stiffened. Sure enough, Chu Li Yu was the one who detained the Shadow Guard.
Chu Li Yu continued, "Unfortunately, half a year ago, I found a Protector called the Fifteenth Prince in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. I saw that he was highly skilled in martial arts, so I cherished him and asked him to be the Protector of the Imperial Residence. May I know why the Empress is looking for the Fifteenth Prince?"
Jiujiu's body trembled. She turned around and looked at Chu Li Yu.
Chu Li Yu still had a smile on his face. His eyes were black and bright, as dazzling as obsidian. He stared at Jiujiu without blinking. When he saw Jiujiu looking at him, the corner of his mouth curled up and he gave Jiujiu a kind smile.
He looked innocent and harmless.
However, who would have thought that such an innocent and harmless man was the mastermind behind everything?
Jiujiu gritted her teeth and said: "Is what Prince He said yesterday true?"
Chu Li Yu's eyes instantly lit up. He walked in front of Jiujiu and lowered his head to look into Jiujiu's eyes. He said word by word: "Of course it is true. I am pleased with the Empress and am willing to be at your beck and call. What do you think, Empress?"
