Jiujiu said sullenly, "I'm not a silly girl. 1357924? 6810gggggd”
Chu Liyu chuckled without saying anything.
Jiujiu looked down and thought for a while before saying, "In a few days, I'll summon my mother to the palace and tell her about us."
Chu Liyu paused and looked down. He said softly, "Will your father agree?"
"My father wants to dote on me. Now that we even have a child together, he can only agree even if he feels uncomfortable. As for Chu Lige, when my mother returns, bring the evidence that Chu Lige wants to deal with my father and secretly visit him."
Mu Ranwei and Chu Lige's father were as close as brothers. Otherwise, he would not have handed over his military power so easily. It was a pity that he met a suspicious Chu Lige.
Mu Ranwei claimed that he had killed countless enemies, but his old heart was compassionate. Not to mention killing people, he could not even bear to see a chicken being killed. Therefore, Jiujiu wanted to stop Mu Ranwei's love for her.
Moreover, although Mu Ranwei was loyal to the country, he was not just foolishly loyal. Now that Chu Lige wanted to chop off his head, how could he continue to foolishly let him do anything to her?
Chu Lige was a member of the Chu family, and so was Chu Liyu. No matter who won or lost, the country would still belong to the Chu family. Besides, now that she had Chu Liyu's child, cooperating with Chu Liyu was equivalent to her future country belonging to her grandson.
Everyone was selfish. On one side was her grandson, and on the other was Chu Lige, who wanted to get rid of her quickly. As long as one was not stupid, one would know how to choose.
Chu Liyu thought of this and nodded gently in agreement.
The two of them casually exchanged a few words, then Chu Liyu turned around to make arrangements.
There were still more than five months before Jiujiu's child was born, but he had many capable people under him. He had long been sure that Jiujiu had a dragon and a wind in her belly, so Chu Liyu had a lot of preparation work to do.
A few days later, Jiujiu summoned her mother.
Madam Mu was eighty percent similar to the original owner. Even though she was already thirty-eight years old and her skin was sagging due to age, one could still see how beautiful she was when she was young.
Jiujiu was Madam Mu's last child. She was also the only girl who was still alive. Naturally, she was pampered and raised. Looking at Jiujiu's pregnant appearance, Madam Mu's heart instantly ached. She held Jiujiu's arm and let her sit on the soft chair. She asked a series of concerned words, "How are you feeling? Do you still feel uncomfortable? Is there anything you want to eat?"
Jiujiu shook her head gently and said no. Madam Mu's eyes turned red when she saw how obedient and sensible she was.
She sighed and spoke softly about how much she missed Jiujiu when she was in the palace, as well as the situation in the manor. In the end, Madam Mu let out a long sigh and said softly, "Your father is going to retire and return to his hometown after your child is born. “
Jiujiu was stunned by Madam Mu's words. She suppressed the doubts and confusion in her heart and asked softly, "Why is father suddenly retiring and returning to his hometown?"
Madam Mu raised her head and looked at Jiujiu with an obscure expression. She opened her mouth as if she found it difficult to speak. After a long time, she sighed faintly and said softly, "His Majesty is already in his twenties and his methods have gradually become fierce. He has begun to guard against his relatives. Although your father has already returned the military seal and only has an empty title, he is both the Great General and the Emperor's father-in-law. His Majesty is afraid that your father's achievements will shock the Emperor and has always been on guard against him. Your father thought about it and decided that if he did not leave the capital, this matter would not end well. Now that you have a child and have someone to rely on in the palace, your father and I can leave with peace of mind.
Madam Mu touched Jiujiu's little face lovingly and said lovingly, "Your Highness, you were only this small when you were first born. Your father carried you in his arms for fear that you would fall. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you will be mother soon. Seeing that you are well, your father and I can leave with peace of mind."
Jiujiu did not expect that her pregnancy would cause Mu Ranwei to take the initiative to retire and return to his hometown. She could not help but frown.
She raised her eyes and looked at Lu Chi. She said, "Lu Chi, I have something to say to my mother. You may leave first."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Lu Chi led the group of people in the palace and retreated like the tide. Jiujiu held Madam Mu's hand and thought for a long time before she suddenly said, "Mother, my child is not Chu Li's."
When Jiujiu spoke, Madam Mu's eyelids twitched violently. When Jiujiu finished speaking, Madam Mu's face instantly turned pale and she did not regain her senses for a long time.
When she regained her senses, she was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Her teeth kept chattering because of fear, which showed how shocked she was.
Madam Mu was scared out of her wits by Jiujiu's words. After a long time, she forced herself to calm down. She held Jiujiu's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, you can't say this carelessly."
Jiujiu lowered her eyes. Her long and curved eyelashes were like small brushes that cast a faint shadow above her eyes. Her voice was very soft and slow, but it was extremely firm as she said, "I'm not talking nonsense. This child is indeed not Chu Li's."
Madam Mu's body trembled again. Her eyes turned red because of fear. She looked at Jiujiu in shock and could not speak for a long time.
When she forced herself to calm down and suppress the fear in her heart, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Who, who is it?"
"Chu Li Yu."
"Prince He?"
Jiujiu nodded. "It's him."
Madam Mu looked at Jiujiu's small face that resembled her own. She was so angry that she raised her hand and wanted to slap her.
Madam Mu had taught Jiujiu since she was young that the most important thing for a woman was to be faithful to her husband. However, Jiujiu had created such a big problem for her. The Empress had an affair with the Emperor's younger brother. Madam Mu could not believe it if this news were to spread.
What a preposterous thing this was.
Madam Mu looked at Jiujiu's face that was so similar to her own. Her raised hand trembled and she could not slap her for a long time. In the end, she could only sit aside and look at Jiujiu. She asked, "You and him …"
Jiujiu did not wait for Madam Mu to speak. She told her everything.
"Mother, Chu Li Ge did not like me at all. He wanted to marry me because he was afraid of Father's power. On the first day I entered the palace, he poisoned me. If it were not for my wit, I would have been ruined by him."
Although Madam Mu was angry that Jiujiu did not know how to cherish her in the harem, Jiujiu was still a piece of flesh that fell from her body. Moreover, among the three living children, she liked Jiujiu the most. Now that she heard Jiujiu say that Chu Li Ge poisoned her, she immediately cast aside Jiujiu and Chu Li Yu. She looked up at Jiujiu and asked with concern, "What happened?"
