It was ridiculous that a young and inexperienced girl had a grudge against him and the Imperial Noble Concubine.
Wang Yiqiu looked at Jiujiu for a long time. He thought of Jiujiu's strange ability and Bai who had disappeared. He nodded seriously and said, "I promise you."
Although Wang Yiqiu's sudden change in mood made Jiujiu a little uncomfortable, Wang Yiqiu was willing to cooperate with her.
Jiujiu patted Wang Yiqiu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely congratulate you on your ascension to the throne."
Although Jiujiu looked like a child, Wang Yiqiu inexplicably believed that Jiujiu could help him ascend to the throne.
However, since Wang Yiqiu was going to ascend to the throne, they had to figure out how to get back to the capital when they arrived at Sheng Capital.
Jiujiu looked at Wang Yiqiu and asked, "How are you going to prove your identity when we arrive at Sheng Capital?"
Wang Yiqiu took out the jade pendant hanging around his neck and showed it to Jiujiu. "Imperial Father put this jade pendant on me the day I was sent out of the capital. He can prove my identity. As long as I hand this jade pendant to the palace, Imperial Father will take me back."
Jiujiu was speechless.
Wang Yiqiu acted like an adult just now, but his words suddenly became childish. Jiujiu looked at Wang Yiqiu speechlessly. She rolled her eyes and asked, "May I ask, who are you going to ask to hand this jade pendant to the palace?"
Wang Yiqiu, who had been strategizing just a moment ago, suddenly stiffened. The glowing expression on her face dimmed at the thought of going back. Wang Yiqiu lowered her head and shook her head. She said softly, "There's no cherry blossom …"
Although he was praised as a true dragon by the State Preceptor, his mother was only a concubine who had been promoted from a palace maid. Moreover, she had died of a cold last year.
He had no family and no influence from his mother's family. Even if he had the jade pendant that could prove his identity, there was no one who could help him hand it to the palace.
Wang Yiqiu's eyes darkened. "Then what should I do?"
Looking at Wang Yiqiu's flustered expression because of her words, Jiujiu raised her hand and rubbed Wang Yiqiu's head. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me. However, who knows what you look like?"
Wang Yiqiu shook his head. "Other than Imperial Father and his personal attendants who have my portrait, no one else knows."
Wang Yiqiu suddenly thought of something and added, "Those who tried to assassinate me also know what I look like now."
Wang Yiqiu added, "However, it has been half a year since I fell off the cliff. I think they must think I'm dead."
"Idiot." Jiujiu flicked Wang Yiqiu's head and said angrily, "I just praised you for being smart. Why are you so angry that you're stupid again?"
Wang Yiqiu looked confused when he was suddenly flicked on the head. He rubbed his head and looked at Jiujiu with a puzzled expression. He didn't seem to understand why Jiujiu said he was a fool.
Under Wang Yiqiu's confused eyes, Jiujiu explained in a low voice, "They won't give up until they see the body. Believe it or not, once you step into Shenjing, you will be discovered. When night comes, we will all be in trouble."
Thinking of the group of people who would rather kill ten thousand innocents than let him go, Wang Yiqiu's face turned ugly. "Then what should I do?"
Jiujiu looked at Wang Yiqiu's face, which was hard to tell because of his age, and said with a smile, "Leave it to me."
Early the next morning, Jiujiu took Wang Yiqiu to buy a set of women's clothes. After dressing Wang Yiqiu up, they continued their journey.
Uncle Niu didn't understand why Wang Yiqiu, who was always dressed up, suddenly changed into a girl's clothes. But seeing that Wang Yiqiu looked pretty dressed up, he didn't ask.
The place where they rested yesterday was not very far from Shenjing. The three of them set off in the morning and arrived in Shenjing in the afternoon.
Just as Jiujiu had guessed yesterday, the guards who entered the city were very vague when they saw the adult Rao. But when they observed the eight or nine-year-old boy, they were very careful.
However, because Jiujiu had dressed Wang Yiqiu as a girl, after seeing that there were two girls in the carriage, the guards only glanced at them and let them pass.
The three of them found an inn to stay in. After eating, Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu returned to the room to discuss what to do next.
Jiujiu had a hundred ways to deliver the jade pendant to the Emperor, but she was only an eight-year-old girl. For a girl to escape the search of the Imperial Palace guards and enter the Emperor's sleeping quarters, it was a bit of a fantasy.
Unless there was no other choice, Jiujiu didn't want to use this method.
However, Jiujiu suddenly thought of Wang Yiqiu's comments about the State Preceptor.
Jiujiu looked at Wang Yiqiu curiously and asked, "State Preceptor, your destiny is very noble. Does the Emperor believe it?"
Wang Yiqiu nodded, "Of course, State Preceptor's words are true."
Jiujiu asked, "Why? Aren't you afraid of encountering a charlatan? You know, some charlatans are very good at deceiving people. "
Wang Yiqiu was stunned at first, and then said, "Are you one of those magicians?"
Wang Yiqiu shook his head, "State Preceptor is not one of those magicians."
"If you're not a magician, then what are you?"
Wang Yiqiu softly told Jiujiu about the State Preceptor's background.
"State Preceptor appeared fifty years ago. At that time, the country was in chaos and there was a plague of locusts and floods. It was State Preceptor who helped my grandfather defeat the enemy, eliminate the locusts, and rebuild the disaster area. State Preceptor only used five years to strengthen our country's army.
He annexed the surrounding countries and unified the Central Plains.
According to my grandfather, State Preceptor looked like he was in his early twenties when he left the mountain. When he saw him last year, State Preceptor still looked like he was in his early twenties. Fifty years have passed, but State Preceptor's appearance hasn't changed. I think he has already cultivated the method of immortality. "
Jiujiu was very curious, "… Doesn't your father want to be immortal like him?"
Jiujiu's question stunned the Eighth Prince for a moment. After a long time, the Eighth Prince slowly shook his head, "State Preceptor is wrong. Immortality is not a reward, but a punishment for his rebellious actions. My Imperial Father believes in State Preceptor, so naturally, he doesn't want to be immortal."
Jiujiu was used to seeing all kinds of emperors who wanted to be immortal, but this was the first time she heard of an emperor who was convinced by others and didn't want to be immortal. This was really novel.
However, this also made it clear that State Preceptor's position in the emperor's heart was high.
If he was willing to be immortal, then it would be a piece of cake for him to bring Wang Yiqiu into the palace.
Jiujiu's eyes darted around, and she instantly had an idea.
Jiujiu rubbed her chin and looked at the Eighth Prince, "You, your Imperial Father believes in State Preceptor's words?"
The Eighth Prince nodded, "State Preceptor's foresight is godly. In the entire country, there is no one who doesn't believe in him."
Jiujiu chuckled, "In that case, if State Preceptor brings you back, will the emperor recognize you?"
