Seeing that Chu Yixuan acted as if nothing had happened, Xu Rouzhi could not help but ask: "Why do you say that?"

Chu Yixuan said indifferently: "Did I guess wrongly?"

Xu Rouzhi was stunned, "I am not the daughter of Crown’s Master, could it be that I was picked up by Xu Family?"

Chu Yixuan frowned at her. She really knows how to change the topic!

But would he, Chu Yixuan, be choked back so easily?

Chu Yixuan spread his brows and said: "Even though I was not able to disobey the decree when I was bestowed a marriage, investigating a little girl in the Prince Qi Palace shouldn't be a difficult task, right?"

Xu Rouzhi curled her lips. She knew that he had investigated her!

Chu Yixuan continued, "The Xu Rouzhi of the past, has always been an obedient child. As a servant girl of Xu Family, her status was no different from an ordinary maid. She wore cloth clothing, ate coarse food, and did household chores. Because of this, he was able to survive. The living environment has already determined her character. She is cautious and did not dare act rashly, afraid that she would offend the Mrs. Xu and deprive them of even the chance to live. "

Xu Rouzhi pursed her lips, yes, Chu Yixuan was right. The former Xu Rouzhi, was indeed like this.

"For a Xu Rouzhi like this, after marrying into the Prince Qi Palace, even though she was already an imperial concubine, she was well aware of the subtleties of her situation. Even though she was married in accordance to her father's orders, no matter how great of a grievance she had suffered in the Prince Qi Palace, her father would never speak a word for her. So, in the face of the two lateral consort s' predicament, she didn't dare to reveal it to the public, and lived in a life which was as compromise as what was life in the Xu Mansion. "

Yes, that's right.

But, what did Chu Yixuan want to express?

Chu Yixuan looked at her, and changed the subject: "But you, my wangfei? Tell me, how big of a difference is there between your personality and Xu Rouzhi's? "

"What's a difference? I've had enough. I've endured that kind of day for more than ten years, and I don't want to endure it any longer. Can't I? "

Chu Yixuan was not angry either and continued to speak, "Indeed, regarding the change in wangfei at the beginning, I only thought that perhaps, it was because he had had enough of that kind of days and did not want to continue enduring it. However, a person's character could not be easily changed, nor could a person's habits be changed so easily. It is said that change is easy but difficult to change one's nature. No matter how weak and fragile a woman is, it is impossible for her to become someone else. "

Smiling, Chu Yixuan continued, "The current Princess is clever and cunning, she is not afraid of heaven or earth, not afraid of the earth, not afraid of even craftily counterattacking two opponents, and even had the ability to win over the hearts of people without leaving a trace. She finally gathered a group of loyal dogs who could serve her, and took advantage of all sorts of opportunities to help her, pushing the Prince Qi Palace into a dangerous situation. If it was Xu Rouzhi, even if she wanted to, she might not necessarily be able to accomplish everything right! "

"So, it's as if they are two different people. It can be said that they are two different people? Your Highness, if you want to get rid of me, it's not good to use such a rotten reason! "

Chu Yixuan was not in a hurry, "Do you know why Xu Rouzhi endured so much?"

Xu Rouzhi did not speak, so this question … She hadn't studied it. Wasn't it because she wanted to live?

Wasn't it because it was better to die than to live?

Chu Yixuan's gaze fell upon the Purple Jade Vine that Xu Rouzhi was wearing, and said: "The reason Xu Rouzhi endured life and death like this is because she thinks that her mother is definitely still alive. All these years, she has been secretly inquiring about the whereabouts of her own mother, hoping that the mother and daughter would reunite one day and have a common chat with each other. It seems that the reason she was willing to marry into the Prince Qi Palace two years ago was also because the Crown’s Master had promised her. Once she completed her mission, he would help her find her mother. "

Ah …

Xu Rouzhi subconsciously reached out to hold the Purple Jade Vine Flower. In Xu Rouzhi's memory, there were indeed many scenes related to her mother, but why hadn't she thought of this?

"Therefore, the reason the Crown’s Master came to the Prince Qi Palace that day and handed the piece of purple jade over to Princess Hua-Yang was actually to remind her not to act willfully, and to pay more attention to the Eastern Palace's mission. But the Royal Concubine didn't notice this, right? " Chu Yixuan gazed at her. "How can that woman, who would rather endure all the suffering for the sake of the mother and daughter pair's reunion, ignore everything and live as capriciously as the princess?"

"Ugh …"

Xu Rouzhi was tongue-tied! That day, when Xu Chang delivered the Purple Jade Vine Flower to her, it turned out that he had caught Xu Chang's attention because of what she did after he came back to life, so he specifically came to remind her to focus on his mission?

This... If this was really the case, why hadn't Bi Su told her before? Could Xu Chang use Bi Su to pass a message to her?

Could it be that it was because Xu Chang took this matter to heart that he came here personally and specially?

No, Xu Rouzhi looked at Chu Yixuan warily. Other than herself, no one would know that she was teleported away.

A smile that she did not mind floated on the corner of her mouth as Xu Rouzhi raised her eyebrows: "How is that possible? If I wasn't Xu Rouzhi, how would my father not recognize me? I find it strange, how do you know that my father gifted this piece of purple jade to me the other day to remind me not to be willful? "

The corner of Chu Yixuan's lips curled up, and he smiled slightly: "Eastern Palace has self-deprecatingly believed that he had already grasped every single move from my Prince Qi's Palace, but what I don't know, is that every single move from Eastern Palace is also within the grasp of my Prince Qi's Palace."

"Why do you have such great ability?" Xu Rouzhi was surprised, and took the opportunity to change the topic, "Do you have a way to go about things, and a mysterious organization working for you? This Seven Treasure Pagoda is where you two will meet up? "

Chu Yixuan did not deny it and nodded slightly.

Xu Rouzhi was shocked, "Eastern Palace has always been keeping an eye on you, you can actually still be so resourceful?"

Chu Yixuan smiled slightly: "If you want to live, you have to think of something."

Xu Rouzhi was full of suspicions, the Ji City was such a big place, Chu Yixuan needed funds to fix the tunnel, to organize people, right? Without anyone's support, he wouldn't be able to get it up, right? Then, who was supporting him from behind?

As if a light bulb lit up, Xu Rouzhi cried out, "Could it be that all of this was done at the behest of your majesty? He did it to protect you? "

Chu Yixuan lowered his eyes and laughed, "Perhaps, Royal Father hopes that every one of his children can live safely."

Xu Rouzhi frowned. Damn, this emperor was really mysterious! On one hand, he was helping the crown prince increase his strength, on the other hand, he was helping his other son build up his strength. Could it be that he was afraid that the crown prince would rebel, so he wanted to use Chu Yixuan to counterbalance the situation?

Chu Yixuan looked at her with a smile: "So, does Consort Wang want to take this gamble, to live or die with this duke?"

"The Emperor is supporting you from the shadows. It seems that the Eastern Palace is in danger! Wouldn't it be the king's choice of those who know a bit about current affairs? "

"Not necessarily." Chu Yixuan smiled, "Royal Father's goal is only to protect me. However, since we have reached this stage, it would be a pity for us to not take any steps at all. "

"So, you're planning to fight to the death with the Eastern Palace?" Xu Rouzhi stared at him.

"How do you choose?" Chu Yixuan asked.

"But I am the daughter of the Crown’s Master, and furthermore, I have to find my mother."

Xu Rouzhi's attitude towards this answer was already very clear. How could she choose Chu Yixuan? If she betrayed Eastern Palace so easily, Chu Yixuan wouldn't believe her!

Besides, she didn't want to choose anyone!

What Eastern Palace, what Prince Qi Palace? What did they have to do with her?

Chu Yixuan said indifferently, "If you want your mother, I can also do it. It was my mother-in-law, and it was only right that I do my best. However, the wangfei is not related to Xu Family, why must she be involved between Xu Family and the Eastern Palace? "

"But I am Xu Rouzhi." Even if he was certain that she wasn't, it would still be hard for her to admit it!

Could she tell him that I had crossed over from the future many years later?

This was something that only she would dare to believe in. If it were anyone else, how could they understand this?

In the end, Chu Yixuan no longer bothered with the issue of whether or not she was Xu Rouzhi, but the words he said clearly confirmed that she was not Xu Rouzhi. He said, "Although the wangfei purposely gave the Prince Qi Palace some trouble, this is nothing. The Prince Qi Palace can handle this. However, even if you don't have anything to worry about, don't be too willful. Otherwise, if you arouse the suspicions of the Crown’s Master and the Eastern Palace, I'm afraid the wangfei won't be easy to handle. "

"I …"

"My Elder Brother Huang has a very suspicious heart. That night, the Madam Su sent someone to fake the name of the Prince Qi Palace to invite Big Brother Huang here. Chu Yixuan said, then slowly turned and walked down the stairs.

Xu Rouzhi had no choice but to follow along: "So what?"

Chu Yixuan laughed, "If the Eastern Palace is going to harm the wangfei, the only one who can protect the wangfei are the Prince Qi Palace."

F * ck, this is a blatant threat!

Xu Rouzhi curled her lips: "If that's the case, then if I don't bring some of the Prince Qi's Palace's secrets to the East Palace, then I'll be the one who's in trouble!"

Chu Yixuan smiled lightly: "Choosing the right position is very important. Don't forget your status. "

Xu Rouzhi looked at Chu Yixuan in a daze, she had not made her position known, could it be that Chu Yixuan was so confident in her, and bet that she would definitely stand on his side?

Could it be that he wasn't afraid that she would divulge his secret of feigning illness, as well as the secrets of the Seven Treasures Pagoda and the underground passage to the Eastern Palace?

Or was it …

Xu Rouzhi's mind flashed, and she cried out involuntarily: "You want me to divulge all of your secrets to the Eastern Palace? Have you made plans on how to destroy the Eastern Palace? "

Chu Yixuan slowly halted his steps, turned his head, and looked at her.

Xu Rouzhi curled her lips, "But I might not necessarily do that."

Chu Yixuan smiled again, revealing two rows of pure-white teeth. "I actually believe that wangfei wouldn't do such a thing, so I advised his to take a better stand. In the future, This King will accomplish a great deed and also share it with Princess Hua-Yang. "

"Are you that kind?" Xu Rouzhi scoffed, "Are you sure that even if I don't say anything, someone will reveal your secret to the East Palace?"

"Smart." Chu Yixuan nodded.

In that case, Chu Yixuan already knew that Bi Su was a spy sent by the Crown’s Master?
