Chapter 556: After proving the authenticity of Xiaojiu, everyone was shocked
The reason why I feel so guilty is that it is inevitable that I did something immoral for the first time.
No matter what, she had to hold on until the Imperial Master arrived. Otherwise, if they just groped around in the dark, there was no telling how long it would take them to find the master.
If the Imperial Master is easy to talk to, he can help Xiao Jinyan recover his memory smoothly, of course, if the Imperial Master has the ability to do so.
Ye Yuxi's eyes turned cold, "An Yu, please speak properly."
"Brother Crown Prince, Princess Jiuyou has been missing for so many years." Ye Anyu looked at Shen Chuwei, with disdain and contempt in her eyes, "If she was fine, how could she not come back for so many years? I think she is a fake, maybe there is some conspiracy behind it."
Ye Yuxi glanced at Xiao Jiu and explained, "Father said she was Princess Jiuyou, so she is. If you keep talking nonsense, be careful that Father will be unhappy."
After that, he looked at Xiaojiu again and explained with a smile: "An Yu has a straightforward personality and speaks without thinking. Don't take it to heart."
Shen Chuwei glanced at Ye Anyu, smiled and said, "I won't argue with a child."
Ye Yuxi laughed out loud when he heard this.
Ye Anyu looked at Shen Chuwei. It was obvious that he was saying that she was a child who was making trouble unreasonably.
"Since you are the Princess of Jiuyou, then you should produce evidence to prove that you are the Princess of Jiuyou. In the past, many people sent counterfeit goods to me claiming to be the Princess of Jiuyou for the reward."
When Princess Jiuyou just disappeared, Ye Haoting posted an imperial decree, offering a large sum of money to find her. Whoever found Princess Jiuyou would be rewarded with a huge sum of money, a luxurious house, and a life of luxury.
After the imperial edict was posted, many people would come to the door every day claiming to be Princess Jiuyou, and it turned out that all of them were true.
Because there were too many people pretending to be him, Ye Haoting had the imperial edict withdrawn.
Ye Anyu looked at Shen Chuwei coldly. She wanted to see how a counterfeit could get evidence.
Shen Chuwei felt in her pockets, but she really didn't have any evidence... She suddenly thought of her own face and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because I look like him?"
Ye Anyu snorted coldly: "There are so many people who look alike in the world. Do you think that just because you look a bit like her, you are Princess Jiuyou? If that were true, then those girls who looked similar in the past would have been Princess Jiuyou. How could it be your turn to impersonate her?"
Ye Yuxi turned his head to look at Xiaojiu. He did look somewhat similar to Xiaojiu. If it was fake, the consequences would be serious.
Shen Chuwei looked at Ye Anyu in front of her who was so arrogant, as if she wanted to drive her out of the palace. She just looked at Ye Anyu indifferently and did not respond.
Seeing Shen Chuwei was silent, Ye Anyu knew that she was feeling guilty, and her tone became more arrogant: "Why aren't you talking? Feeling guilty? I tell you, daring to impersonate Princess Jiuyou is punishable by death."
Shen Chuwei heard that pretending was a dead end, and she felt guilty and wanted to back off, but when she thought about not having met the Imperial Master yet, she was unwilling to do so.
I am unwilling but afraid of death~
As soon as Ye Anyu saw Shen Chuwei like this, she knew that she was scared. She looked at Ye Yuxi, "Brother Crown Prince, you are so smart that you should have seen that she is a fake, otherwise why would she not even dare to refute her?"
Ye Yuxi looked at Xiao Jiu, and seeing that she didn't say a word, he was a little confused. He looked at Ye Anyu and said, "Whether she is Princess Jiuyou or not, father will decide for himself."
Ye Anyu thought Ye Yuxi would chase the counterfeit away, but he didn't. She looked at the counterfeit in front of her and said, "Come with me to see my father. I want to see who gave you the courage to pretend to be Princess Jiuyou."
Shen Chuwei: "..." What can she say? There is no evidence to prove that she is Princess Jiuyou, let alone refute it. Ye Haoting thinks she has lost her memory~
"…Please go ahead."
Ye Anyu got angry when she saw her nonchalant look, as if she was reminded of Feng Wuyou in the past, who always looked indifferent but was easily loved by so many people.
Her father doted on her and gave her the title Jiuyou, while she was just a princess without a title.
There is a huge difference between having a banned account and not having one.
Ye Yuxi did not stop his sister. He also wanted to know whether the girl in front of him was Xiaojiu. If she was a fake, it would be meaningless.
The three of them arrived at Yu's study and first went forward to greet him.
Ye Yuxi and Ye Anyu said in unison: "Father, may you be well."
Shen Chuwei stood there straight, because Ye Haoting said that she didn't need to bow when she saw him next time~
Ye Haoting was reading a memorial. When he saw them coming, he raised his head and glanced at the three people below him, "Everyone, get up."
Ye Anyu glanced at Shen Chuwei standing there straight. How could he not even greet his father when he saw him?
After he stood up straight, he asked, "Why didn't you greet the emperor?"
Shen Chuwei felt that the princess in front of her seemed to be targeting her all the time. Could it be that Feng Wuyou had a bad relationship with her?
She looked at Ye Haoting because he was the one who stopped her from performing the ceremony.
Ye Haoting said in a sharp voice: "An Yu, be careful when talking to Xiao Jiu. It was me who told her not to greet him."
Ye Anyu said, "Father, Princess Jiuyou has been missing for almost ten years. Suddenly, someone who looks like Jiuyou shows up. Don't you think it's suspicious? I think she deliberately pretended to be Princess Jiuyou to defraud Ronghua and wealth."
Shen Chuwei: "..." I'm really not interested in the splendor and wealth you have here. My husband is the prince~
Ye Haoting had naturally thought about this question. He looked at the face that looked similar to Xiaojiu and said with a smile, "Caiyu must not recognize the wrong master. She was the one who sent Caiyu back yesterday."
Shen Chuwei suddenly thought of that silly bird. It turned out that Ye Haoting thought she was Feng Wuyou not only because they looked similar, but also because of that silly bird.
But Ye Haoting didn't know that she was born with a better affinity with animals~
"Father, Caiyu is just a bird. If the animal trainer uses some tricks, it is possible to deceive a bird."
Ye Anyu said as she looked at Shen Chuwei, "If she is Princess Jiuyou, father can test her about Jiuyou."
Shen Chuwei: “…” Look, look, this princess probably has a grudge against Feng Wuyou, otherwise why would she target him everywhere?
Ye Haoting said: "She doesn't remember what happened before."
Ye Anyu sneered to herself, no wonder he had been silent just now, it turned out he was pretending to have amnesia.
"That's even more suspicious. I can save myself a lot of trouble by not remembering a single word."
Ye Haoting pondered for a moment and asked, "Xiaojiu, you forgot about the past, how come you remember that your name is Xiaojiu?"
"I often have a dream in which someone always calls me Xiaojiu. It sounds nice and easy to pronounce, so I use Xiaojiu as my nickname."
Shen Chuwei answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, because what she said was true. When Xiao Jinyan asked her nickname, she thought of Xiaojiu.
When Ye Anyu heard this, she knew she was lying. Who would believe this reason?
"Father, she is clearly lying. She must have known in advance that Princess Jiuyou's nickname is Xiaojiu, so she made up an excuse that she was having a dream."
Shen Chuwei was somewhat helpless. No one believed the truth these days.
"I didn't lie. If it wasn't for that dream, I wouldn't have used Xiaojiu as my nickname."
Ye Haoting smiled and nodded when he heard this, "I believe you."
Ye Anyu could not help but get anxious, "Father, why do you believe her so easily? What if she has evil intentions and does something to harm the Nanzhao Kingdom? Then it will be too late."
Seeing that his sister was still insisting, Ye Yuxi said, "An Yu, you always say that Xiao Jiu is a fake. Do you have any evidence to prove it?"
Ye Anyu glanced at Shen Chuwei and snorted, "Of course there is."
Ye Yuxi asked: "What evidence do you have?"
Shen Chuwei secretly glanced at Ye Anyu, who looked very confident. This princess was really going to fight with her.
She secretly prayed in her heart, asking the koi to possess her. She didn't really want to usurp Feng Wuyou's identity, she just wanted her to hold on until the Grand Imperial Master arrived.
Ye Anyu looked at Ye Haoting and said in a pause, "Father, isn't there a tiger-lion beast in the zoo? The tiger-lion beast was raised by Princess Jiuyou since it was a child and is only close to Princess Jiuyou. If she can make the tiger-lion beast obedient, it can prove that she is Princess Jiuyou."
It was at this time that Ye Haoting remembered the tiger-lion beast, which was brought back by Xiaojiu when he followed the national teacher. It was ferocious when it was young and even more ferocious when it grew up. No one dared to approach it. After Xiaojiu disappeared, he was afraid that the tiger-lion beast would hurt people, so he locked it in the zoo.
"Father, what An Yu said makes some sense. If she is really Xiaojiu, Tiger Lion Beast should listen to her. But, if she is not, her life will be in danger." Ye Yuxi said and looked at Shen Chuwei with some concern.
Shen Chuwei glanced at Ye Anyu, wishing that Feng Wuyou hadn't asked her to die. Moreover, even if they had been raised since childhood, they had been separated for almost ten years. There was no guarantee that the tiger-lion beast would remember its original owner.
Although she has a golden finger, she just doesn't know what kind of beast a tiger lion is. If it is the same as a tiger lion, she doesn't have to worry.
Ye Haoting hesitated for a moment. Yesterday, he concluded that Caiyu was Xiaojiu just because she recognized her master and they looked similar. How arbitrary.
He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei and said, "In order to prove that you are Xiaojiu, I can only let you take the risk and give it a try."
Shen Chu glanced at the three people in front of her. The questioning yet expectant looks in their eyes made it impossible for her to decide whether she was willing or not.
In order to save her life, she had to make arrangements in advance, "... Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, you have to save me. I'm afraid of death."
Ye Haoting smiled when he heard this, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."
Shen Chuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
The menagerie was in the northwest corner of the palace, where the most empty space was, but it took quite a while to walk from Yu's study to the menagerie.
After walking for so long, Shen Chuwei felt that she had digested all the food she had eaten for breakfast because she was hungry and wanted to eat something.
There were guards at the entrance of the zoo. When the emperor arrived in person, the guards knelt on the ground to welcome him.
The zoo was managed by a middle-aged guard captain in his forties. He stepped forward and saluted, "Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."
Ye Haoting asked: "How is the tiger lion beast now?"
The captain of the guards felt a little guilty, as he had not expected the emperor to pay a sudden visit and specifically ask to see tigers and lions.
"Your Majesty, it has been very hot these past two days, and the tigers and lions are not in good condition."
Ye Haoting frowned, "Is the tiger lion beast sick?"
The chief guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied cautiously: "I haven't eaten in the past two days."
Ye Haoting frowned even more tightly when he heard this. "Go in and take a look."
"Yes." The guard led the way.
Shen Chuwei followed slowly behind, looking around the zoo and found that there were not only tigers and lions but also wolves and other wild animals. Why were wild animals kept in the palace?
What if it accidentally runs out? Wouldn’t it be the end of you?
At this moment, the lions and tigers that were originally inside the cage suddenly walked out and looked out through the cage.
The chief guard saw this and said with a big smile, "Because of the emperor's arrival, the beasts are particularly excited today."
Ye Haoting glanced at the wild animals in the cages and ignored them. The main reason he came to the zoo today was to verify the real Xiaojiu.
Shen Chuwei looked at the pair of glowing eyes and could roughly understand their mood at the moment, which was excitement!
After walking for about a cup of tea, we arrived at the innermost part of the zoo, and in front of us was the largest wild animal cage we had ever seen.
Inside the beast cage, there was a huge creature lying in the corner. Its snow-white fur would have easily been mistaken for a small snow mountain if it wasn’t winter, mainly because it was too big.
Ye Haoting glanced at the tiger-lion beast. He hadn't seen it for a long time and found that the tiger-lion beast was not as fierce and energetic as before. However, this did not affect the proof of the real Xiaojiu.
He looked at Shen Chuwei, "Xiaojiu, this is the tiger lion beast."
Ye Anyu looked at Shen Chuwei proudly. She wanted to see what the counterfeit would do next.
Shen Chuwei retracted her gaze and looked at Ye Haoting, "...Okay."
When Shen Chuwei walked to the beast cage, the captain of the guard took out the key from his waist. When he was about to unlock it, the huge creature inside suddenly moved, causing the captain of the guard's hand to tremble.
I saw the huge creature supporting the ground with its two front legs, shaking its hair, and turning its head to look over.
Shen Chuwei looked at the tiger-lion beast. Even the circle of hair on its neck was white, snow-white. It felt that Xuetuan was even whiter because there were a few strands of silver hair mixed on Xuetuan's head.
His eyes were as big as copper bells, staring at her without blinking.
The tiger-lion that was originally lying on the ground suddenly stood up, allowing people to clearly see its height. It was one section taller than the tiger, suggesting that it was about the size of two tigers.
Look at those strong limbs. I feel like I can kill her with one slap.
The chief guard trembled as he unlocked the door, then said to Shen Chuwei, "You can go in."
Shen Chu hesitated for a moment and then walked in.
As soon as they entered, the captain of the guard locked the door, fearing that the tiger-lion beast would suddenly rush out.
After Shen Chuwei entered, she stood there without moving, just looking at the tiger-lion beast quietly, and finally looked at the pair of eyes as big as copper bells.
The tiger-lion stared at Shen Chuwei for a long time, then suddenly raised its head and roared. When it opened its mouth, its sharp fangs were exposed, which were sharp weapons for tearing prey apart.
The sound was deafening, as if the speaker was afraid that others couldn't hear it.
Shen Chuwei covered her ears, fearing that she would be deafened.
Ye Haoting frowned and looked at the tiger lion beast's reaction, feeling more excited than when he first arrived.
Ye Anyu saw this scene and looked towards Shen Chuwei in the cage. The tiger-lion beast is the most ferocious wild beast, and the Nanzhao Kingdom only cares about this one at the moment. The counterfeit is doomed this time.
After the tiger-lion roared, it kicked the ground with its strong front legs, raising a cloud of dust.
Shen Chuwei quickly covered her mouth and nose, and couldn't help coughing twice because of the choking dust.
The tiger lion beast seemed to have kicked enough, and walked towards Shen Chuwei with its strong limbs. Its powerful aura was no less than Mount Tai pressing down on its head.
This was the first time Shen Chuwei had seen a tiger-lion beast in her life. It was taller than her. Seeing the huge head approaching, she instinctively turned her head and saw Ye Anyu looking at her with a smile on her face.
Ye Anyu was standing next to the beast cage, watching as if she was watching a play how Shen Chuwei was frightened by the tiger-lion beast and was slapped away by the tiger-lion beast.
