"You call me Eighth Prince?"
Qu Zhaoyue was very angry, and the anger ignited his pupils.
Everyone in the palace knew that ever since the Eighth Prince became the Ninth Prince, he particularly hated the titles "Eighth Prince" and "Eighth Highness".
Every time he heard others call his brother who had returned from outside the palace like this, he felt sick and wanted to vomit out the food he had eaten the previous night.
When he heard people in the palace call him "Eighth Prince", he smiled it off but secretly held a grudge in his heart, and then asked Yang Guifei to find a reason to punish those who made the mistake.
"You said you can tell fortunes, so why don't you calculate who I am?"
Qu Zhaoyue smiled and thought to himself that this was just a scholar who came out of nowhere and dared to deceive him.
He needs to think carefully about how to get back.
"Aren't you the Eighth Prince?"
Looking at the face of the "Eighth Prince", Chen Sheng shrank his neck and said in confusion.
He has also been to court, how could he not know what the emperor looks like?
If the young man in front of me is not the Eighth Prince, then who is he?
Oh, very good, he is indeed a liar.
Juren? Maybe that's a lie too.
Qu Zhaoyue said sinisterly, "It seems you don't know what has happened in the capital in the past few months. You didn't even ask for details before you came out to deceive people. You are truly a failed liar."
"Your Highness, I'm not a liar, you have to believe me!"
Without understanding the situation and seeing Qu Zhaoyue's angry look, Chen Sheng didn't dare to call him the Eighth Prince anymore.
He knew that the next emperor was very capable and was afraid that he would be tortured, so he hurried to prove that he was telling the truth.
"I, I know..." He racked his brains, thinking: "The Southwest will soon cease fire. It was Nanyou who first proposed peace. Yes, that's right! Just wait another half a month, and Your Highness will know whether what I said is true or not."
"Tsk." Qu Zhaoyue scoffed, "I know this without you telling me. The two countries don't have an infinite supply of food and fodder to deploy. We've been fighting for so long, it's time for this war to end."
"As for Nanyou asking for peace, isn't that normal? Our Great Xia army is strong and our soldiers are brave. It would be abnormal if we lost. So it must be Nanyou who surrendered first."
“…”
This one doesn't work either, then...
Even in the middle of winter, beads of sweat were oozing out of Chen Sheng's forehead.
"Your Highness," he said, "the reason Nanyou Kingdom stopped fighting was not because of a shortage of food and fodder, but because the Emperor of Nanyou died. The country was in chaos, and the Tangxi people were busy fighting for the throne, so the war could not be continued."
"Your Highness, please wait for another half month. If the Emperor of Nanyou is not dead after half a month, I will let Your Highness deal with me."
Mr. Chen spoke sincerely and with a firm expression, as if he had complete faith in his own words. Seeing this, Qu Zhaoyue couldn't help but believe it a little.
But he thought about how he had been fooled by this man's eloquence before, and how he had walked around Xie's house in vain but gained nothing.
Anger welled up in his cheeks again.
"Then what about Mu Zhao you mentioned just now? I didn't even find his body, let alone curry favor with the Xie family." He asked.
Little did he know that Mr. Chen was also confused: "I don't know this either."
In his previous life, the "Eighth Prince" won the favor of Prime Minister Xie by finding the real murderer of Mu Zhao and clearing the Xie family's name!
But in the previous life, the "Eighth Prince" took several days to investigate the real culprit with the cooperation of the Dali Temple.
This time he wanted the "Eighth Prince" to find Mu Zhao's body and take it away directly to solve the trouble of the Xie family and save the effort of investigating the case later.
Unexpectedly, Mu Zhao's body was missing.
What went wrong?
Could it be that someone else has been reborn?
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Sheng's face turned pale. He thought, what if there really is a person who has been reborn, and he also wants to take advantage of the opportunity to win the favor of the "Eighth Prince"?
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Qu Zhaoyue became angry and wanted to have someone kill Chen Sheng, but she was a little hesitant.
He was hoping that if Mr. Chen really knew the future, wouldn't it be a huge loss if he killed him?
It’s only half a month, not a long time. If he finds out that this person has deceived him after half a month, he will kill him.
Qu Zhaoyue finally decided to lock up Chen Sheng for half a month.
"This prince is ninth in lineage," Qu Zhaoyue said proudly. "Just as you said, this prince will ascend the throne sooner or later. You must remember who this prince is."
"And don't mention the words 'Eighth Prince' or 'Eighth Prince' in front of me."
"Yes, yes, I obey your command."
Mr. Chen unconsciously said the name of his official self in his previous life.
I wondered what happened in the capital. How did the "Eighth Prince" become the Ninth Prince? Who is the Eighth Prince now?
Thinking about the reason why he didn't come to the capital until the day of Xie Mingyun's wedding, Chen Sheng felt angry and annoyed.
If he had not been kidnapped by bandits on the way to the capital and kept in the mountains for nearly three months, and only managed to escape a few days ago, and had not had to find a way to sneak into the Xie Mansion as soon as he arrived in the capital, he would not have had no time to find out the situation.
After this time, he must find out what happened in the capital and find out all the differences from his previous life.
However, things went against his wishes. After leaving the rockery, he was taken away and locked up by Qu Zhaoyue's men. He had no chance to find out what was going on.
This detention lasted for half a month, and because the guards neglected to take care of him, he almost starved to death because he was already skinny.
＊
Qu Zhaoyue and Chen Sheng walked away. Yan Cheng climbed up with his hands on the rough ground, sat on the rockery with a serious expression, and swung his legs.
Thinking about the shocking secret I just heard accidentally.
Rebirth?
Or he was reborn after Qu Zhaoyue ascended the throne. It seems that the person wanted to gain Qu Zhaoyue's trust by telling him the future direction.
