A brief moment passed, and Chu Jiner's voice sounded out, filled with bitterness and self-mockery, "Chu Qingyao, look at my face, it's as beautiful as flowers, what kind of man is that?"
"It's not your fault that you're good-looking. How many people want your face to be so ugly!" Chu Qingyao looked at him enviously, "With your frail body, you really can't be compared to a man."
Chu Jiner felt a little inferior to her, "Do you think that I'm just a monster that isn't male or female? In fact, even I hate myself, but if I want to die, I'm afraid of pain. As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed the empty medicine bowl beside her and viciously threw it at his head.
"Stop." "As long as you tell me honestly, why did you come to Prince Zhi's Mansion? When the time comes, if you want to be a man or a woman, I'll grant you your wish."
Chu Jin`er didn't understand what she meant, but stared at her slender hands, lost in thought. "I was born to be a boy, and for some reason I've always been raised as a girl," she muttered to herself. When I was in my teens, something happened that made me feel ashamed and uneasy. My chest actually started to develop like a woman's.
Chu Jiner paused, his face turned as pale as snow, as though recalling all these would only make him more miserable. Chu Qingyao looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
She smiled wryly, "It was at that time that a man appeared. He said that he could change my body and make me return to how I was before. However, there is one condition, and that is that I have to be of use to him in the future. In order to quickly throw away that shameful feeling, I readily agreed. Unexpectedly, this is the beginning of my nightmare. I take a drug regularly, and as my chest gets smaller and smaller, I... That place has also become small. " His face reddened. He had never imagined that he would ever say such things to a woman.
"Later on, as long as I am unable to complete the mission he assigned me, he will intentionally give me the antidote, allowing me to live an asexual life. Whenever this happened, I would feel an incomparable sense of shame, getting more and more tired of this body. I wanted to die more than once, but I could not bring myself to do so. I was afraid of pain. "Tell me, why am I so useless? I don't even have the courage to die?"
Unknowingly, Chu Jiner's eyes had turned red, and she laughed in ridicule, "The moment I got close to Yu Ya, it was he who knew that he would be able to make contact with you through Yu Ya, and in the end, get close to the roasting king. I know that I will never be able to escape the fate of being manipulated. Chu Qingyao, just kill me! Think of it as doing a good deed to help a coward like me. "
Chu Qingyao's eyes were expressionless, but her heart was in turmoil. If it was really like this, Chu Jiner would be quite pitiful. "Then, in your heart, is the person you want to be the most a man or a woman?"
"Actually, I've never thought of this question before. When I was young, no matter who it was that said that I was a girl, I always knew that I was a boy. Later on, I became neither a boy nor a girl, and my heart became confused as well.
"You don't have to answer me in a hurry. As long as you tell me everything I want to know, including the purpose of coming to the Prince Zhi's Mansion, and the information about the person behind the scenes, at that time, no matter if you want to be a man or a woman, I can do it for you."
Chu Jiner was startled, endured the ecstasy in his heart, and said with a trembling voice. "Really?"
"A puppy that lied to you." Chu Qingyao waved at him, "But that's only if you can satisfy me with your answer."
"He's a man, I've only seen him a few times. Xiu Ye will be the one sending me the medicine the rest of the time. I have never seen him before. Every time he wears a mask, he doesn't sound like someone from the Cherokee. " He paused, "I am from Cherokee."
Cherokee?
These three words immediately made Chu Qingyao think of Beigong Ziyuan. She frowned, "Do you know Beigong Ziyuan?"
Chu Jiner was startled, then said: "Is there anyone in Cherokee who doesn't know of the Grand Princess? Although she is a woman, her ability to assist her younger brother in ascending the throne is well-known to the world. "
"For what purpose?" Chu Qingyao asked.
"Xiu Ye said that roasting king has something on him, but he did not say what it was. Let me go look, it is very important." Chu Jiner threw up his hands, "It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, that's all I know. As you saw yesterday, when I was in their eyes, I was no better than a dog. Rather than getting crushed into mud by others in the future, it would be better to die early and die early. "
The door opened and a black clothed Xuanyuan Zhi walked in. He directly walked in front of Chu Jiner and asked, "What is important to this king that this king doesn't know?"
Chu Jiner was already in a terrible situation, with the determination to die, he said indifferently, "I really don't know, if I did, why didn't I say it out loud? I hate that man to the bone. " Even though she was angry, her eyes were filled with charm.
Such a person should have been born a woman.
Xuanyuan Zhi turned around and pulled Chu Qingyao away, "This king has something to talk about with you." Then, as if scalded, he suddenly flung it away. Chu Qingyao looked at the fingers he had held, her heart aching. It was as if a knife was slowly stabbing her heart. She laughed derisively. Actually, it's good.
"What is it?" She followed his example with a straight face, as if they were back to the beginning.
"Follow This King to the palace. This King wants to know if the emperor's health can be cured." Listening to him talk about this king, the corners of Chu Qingyao's eyes turned dry, she could only laugh.
Then, she really smiled. A faint and shallow smile filled Xuanyuan Zhi's eyes, causing his chest to swell. Didn't this woman know how uncomfortable he was feeling? He actually still dared to mock him!
"Since the prince has given his orders, this wangfei naturally doesn't dare disobey." She turned around and asked Chu Jiner, "What happened to you yesterday? Why is there no sound from that black clothed man's flute? "
"That's a Gu flute, only those who have been infected with the Gu will hear about it. If I dare to disobey, it will be a fate worse than death. Actually, as long as he plays a little more last night, even if I die, I will be grateful to him." Chu Jiner was furious, "Xiu Ye is that man's dog."
Every time, he would be tortured to the point that he couldn't beg for death, and in the end, he had to pretend to be a good person and let him go.
"Why are you called Chu Jiner?" Not that he was a man before he was a teenager. Although she was good-looking, she didn't have to call a girl by her name.
A hint of hatred appeared in Chu Jiner's eyes, but was quickly concealed by him, "After I was born, the State Grandmaster was alarmed. He personally came to my house and told my mother that I wouldn't live long, and in order to keep me, he personally bestowed my name Chu Jiner.
Chu Qingyao could not understand what the Imperial Advisor was trying to say, "What reason could he use to make your mother believe that you will not live long?"
"Because the Imperial Advisor is very famous, everyone will believe his words. Back then, he predicted … " His voice suddenly stopped. "Anyway, it was like that back then. After a while, even my mother thought that I was just a girl."
Chu Qingyao nodded, "When will that person come to find you again?"
Chu Jiner looked at Xuanyuan Zhi with a face full of curiosity. "roasting king, if you had such an important thing on you, you would have known better. "Just what is it?"
Xuanyuan Zhi unhappily snorted, "No one can take this duke's things if it's not important. "Think about it carefully at home. Do you want to continue doing evil deeds, or do you want to give up on the dark?"
Chu Jiner revealed a look of despair, but did not say a word. He was drugged and his life was under control, how could he have the right to choose?
He was tired of living like this!
After the sky had darkened, Chu Qingyao followed Xuanyuan Zhi to the Palace and discovered that there were actually two men in the Emperor's room. The older ones are the empress dowager's men, and the younger ones are doctors. " On the roof, Xuanyuan Zhi said.
The two of them waited until midnight. Seeing that the lights had been extinguished, they prepared to leave. However, upon seeing that someone had come out, they turned around. This person was older. Looking at his grizzled hair, he was probably a few years older than the empress dowager. He closed the door behind him and left the palace, heading towards the northwest corner of the palace.
Xuanyuan Zhi frowned, and pulled on Chu Qingyao, "Follow them and take a look." The man walked like the wind, his feet not touching the ground as he walked out of Changle Palace. At the entrance of the palace, Qing Yue, who was standing in front of the empress dowager, was waiting. Seeing that the man had arrived, she hastily invited him in. "The empress dowager has been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you come only now?"
"It's not good for me to come if Godly Doctor isn't sleeping." The man was the empress dowager's old lover, Wei Qiu. After a long and arduous journey, he finally returned with the Godly Doctor.
Her Majesty was waiting for Wei Qiu in the bedroom and had sent all the servants away long ago. "Hearing the sound of footsteps, I quickly went out to greet them." Wei Qiu, you finally came back, I'm really going to die thinking about it. " She stepped forward to support Wei Qiu, "For Wailing Home, it's been hard on you."
"Ah Rong, I was lucky enough to not fail and managed to invite a genius doctor. I've already seen the emperor's condition before. He assured me that he would definitely be able to treat her. Now you can be at ease." Wei Qiu looked at the empress dowager affectionately. As long as he could help Ah Rong, he would be willing to do anything.
The empress dowager held his hand, and was suddenly filled with emotions. "If Xiao Er is fine, Wailing Home will fulfill his promise."
Wei Qiu was a little agitated as he held her hand, "Ah Rong, I am not greedy. I just need to occasionally see you once. You are the empress dowager of a nation, how can you be together with a commoner like me? I understand that my identity is low, so don't say anymore! "
The empress dowager felt her heart ache at his words. "Wailing Home owes you a lifetime. I won't let you down this time." The empress dowager ordered Qing Yue to get some water to personally bathe Wei Qiu, causing him to be moved to tears.
At this time, Chu Qingyao and Xuanyuan Zhi were hanging upside down outside the window, all the way until the two people inside were knocked onto the bed. Only then did Xuanyuan Zhi leap onto the roof with an ashen face.
