Chapter 228: Meeting an old friend

Prince Ling Zhao Zhuoran smiled slightly.

"Princess, my surname is Zhao and my given name is Ling. You can just call me Zhao Ling, or Brother Zhao."

Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows: "Okay, Prince...Brother Zhao, you are almost 35 years old this year, right? The girl is at most 18, the age difference is a bit big, you won't cheat on the girl, right?"

"How can you talk like that? According to generational division, you should call me Sixth Uncle." Zhao Zhuoran became anxious. He put his long arms around Xia Zhi's slender waist and glared at Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu is numb, Sixth Uncle?

Taohua nodded vigorously at the side: "Yes, Princess, Prince Ling and the Duke are of the same generation."

Jiang Jiu glanced at her sideways: "Your Majesty is also of the same generation as the Duke, should I marry my uncle?"

Isn't this incest?

Yunshu was coughing violently at the side, and Taohua didn't dare to say anything.

Zhao Zhuoran quickly added: "Of course, if you marry His Majesty, you can call me Sixth Brother."

Jiang Jiu laughed dryly: "Just tell me how you kidnapped a little girl."

Actually, Zhao Zhuoran didn't need to explain to Jiang Jiu.

Who made him see the darkness?

Lu An is Zhao Zhuoxi's man, and Zhao Zhuoxi originally had no interest in Yao Qin, the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhen.

But why does he suddenly want to marry her as his queen?

Others may not know, but Zhao Zhuoran knows a little.

Back then, when he was planning to revive Jiang Jiu's soul through a corpse, he found several noble ladies in the capital who had the same birth date as Jiang Jiu.

One of them was Yao Qin, but Yao Qin was in southern Xinjiang at the time, so he gave up and chose Suman.

The reason why Zhao Zhuoxi went crazy was because Su Man deliberately had a miscarriage and gave Zhao Zhuoxi the antidote. Zhao Zhuoran knew from the beginning that Su Man was Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu's soul is a soul from another world. The evil monk said at the beginning that the soul from another world will continue to resurrect by possessing corpses until it dies.

At the beginning, when he let Jiang Jiu's soul fall into Su Man's body, he had already calculated that Jiang Jiu's life span should be 82 years old.

Eighty-two years old was considered a long life in ancient times.

So, when Su Man died, he guessed that Jiang Jiu's soul must have found another corpse to revive.

As for who it was, he didn't know.

But as the emperor, Zhao Zhuoxi will definitely find a way to find the person.

Later, Zhao Zhuoran heard that the emperor wanted to marry Princess Ronghua as his queen and to disband the harem, leaving only one person.

Zhao Zhuoran guessed, could it be that Princess Ronghua was Jiang Jiu?

However, what happened in the capital had nothing to do with him anymore.

He had done everything he could, but there was nothing he could do if God didn't go his way.

After escaping from the capital city after a narrow escape, he followed Xia Zhi back to Xiang County and recuperated for half a year until now.

He suddenly felt that life as a small family was not bad.

But he didn't expect that he would meet Yao Qin here.

The reason why Zhao Zhuoran invited Yao Qin to dinner under the pretext of knowing each other well was actually because he wanted to find out in person whether she was Jiang Jiu.

However, after saying a lot, he found that Jiang Jiu didn't remember much about him, and didn't know Xia Zhi, the little maid beside her, at all.

Zhao Zhuoran then thought of the news he received when he left the capital.

Princess Zhaoyang poisoned Suman, a strange poison from the Western Regions that made her hate to leave.

After being poisoned, even if she was resurrected, she would forget everything in the past.

So that's how it is, Zhao Zhuoran smiled.

Zhao Zhuoxi has been struggling for Jiang Jiu for so long, and now he has even become the emperor, but he didn't expect that the beauty has forgotten him.

It really made him happy and he felt relieved.

It is said that the royal family is ruthless.

Little did they know that these royal brothers were all infatuated.

The crown prince at that time gave up the throne for Jiang Yao.

His elder brother also obeyed the queen's orders and almost changed the country's name.

Now it is the turn of the ninth prince, Zhao Zhuoxi, who gave up his harem for a woman.

"Princess, are you here to relax?" Zhao Zhuoran spoke first.

Jiang Jiu's eyes rolled and he had a reason.

"Yes, and I am also making an incognito visit on behalf of His Majesty."

Zhao Zhuoran raised his eyebrows: "Not bad, not bad, my ninth brother will be very happy to have a good wife like you."

Jiang Jiu stared at Xia Zhi and suddenly said, "This girl looks familiar. Have we seen her there before?"

Xia Zhi was Jiang Jiu's maid. She didn't know Yao Qin and just smiled politely.

"I used to work in the capital, so the princess may have seen it once or twice."

Jiang Jiu knew, however, that this memory did not belong to the original owner, but was her feeling.

"Xiazhi... Do you know Aunt Qian?"

Xia Zhi was shocked: "Madame Qian? Didn't she enter the palace? His Majesty personally ordered her to enter the palace, saying that she was to serve the Empress."

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and then said, "Are you familiar with Nanny Qian? Have you ever served a master?"

Xia Zhi was just about to nod when Zhao Zhuoran pinched her waist lightly. She glanced at Zhao Zhuoran quickly and smiled.

“No.”

Jiang Jiu thought that he might have remembered it wrongly.

He also asked about Jiang Mingyue in detail, and this time Xia Zhi told him everything he knew.

Tell her everything Jiang Mingyue has done.

Jiang Jiu sighed after hearing this: "So, she really deserves it. There must be something hateful about pitiful people. But why did Madam Jiang insist on her getting married? Isn't it better for the mother and daughter to depend on each other?"

Maybe some people take the initiative to rely on men for their entire lives.

"You are such a loyal and good person. Even though your master is gone, you still want to help him. If your master knew about this, he would definitely thank you."

Zhao Zhuoran discovered that Jiang Jiu had indeed forgotten everything from the past.

There was no further entanglement. It was getting late, so they left.

After Jiang Jiu walked away, Xia Zhi asked in confusion: "Why didn't you let me tell the princess the truth just now?"

Zhao Zhuoran smiled and said, "She is not a princess, she is your master. I don't know why I forgot about the past."

When Xia Zhi heard that Jiang Jiu was not dead, tears filled his eyes with excitement.

"Really, girl, you are blessed by fate."

Zhao Zhuoran added: "If you want to say, it was His Majesty who told her in person. I think that this time His Majesty allowed her to walk around, perhaps to help her find her past memories..."

Xia Zhi said coquettishly, "Then why don't you let me tell her directly about the past?"

Zhao Zhuoran shook his head: "She is not in good health. If she suddenly remembers the past, I'm afraid she will fall into a deep sleep and never wake up."

"Think about it, why did His Majesty let Chu Yu stay by his side? Wasn't it to take care of her? Your master has a strange origin and is not an ordinary person, so he naturally cannot use an ordinary doctor."

Xia Zhi understood that Jiang Jiu died once when he was in the capital, and when he woke up he was in another body. It took her a long time to stop treating the Princess of Qi as a monster.

When she heard about it again now, she found it much easier to accept it.

"Yes, our master is not an ordinary person."

That night, Jiang Jiu visited several places and felt familiar with them all. He had a very long dream at night...
