Once I've created the antidote, you'll surely steal it. That way, Deyi Kangren won't owe me a favor and can attack us without restraint. So why don't I play along?
If you are one of the Emperor's men, and the Emperor has entrusted you with monitoring us, then we can also learn about the Emperor's character through you.
"It would be easy for Great Chu to conquer Dahe, but I don't want to harm the innocent. I need a partner. If Deyi Kangren is not suitable, then the Emperor is the best partner."
"So you deliberately let me hear you develop the antidote that day?" Long Shengxiujun also realized what was going on and a new question arose in his mind.
"But what if I also harbor ill intentions towards you, want to destroy you, or even join forces with Deyi Kangren, what would you do then?"
"That's right, I deliberately let you hear it so that I could find out if you were a member of Deyikangren. The fact proves that you are not, so you can only be a member of the Emperor."
If you are of the same character as Tokugi Yasuhito, birds of a feather, then Yamato has so many great daimyo, why worry about not finding a suitable collaborator among them?
"If even these powerful figures can't find a suitable person, then it means that Yamato is rotten to the core, and it's better to just let it be ruined," Su Ruojin said.
"When did you confirm my identity?" This was what Long Shengxiujun was most curious about.
Su Ruojin glanced at Tachibana Chiyo, "When the Emperor fainted and asked me to take his pulse, although his pulse was weak, it was due to the medicine, not because he was weak since childhood as the legend says."
However, at that time I didn't doubt your identity; I just guessed that the emperor at that time wasn't the real emperor.
Historically, many emperors trained several doubles to impersonate them for self-protection or convenience, so it's not surprising that Emperor Yamato did the same.
Furthermore, because Emperor Yamato was physically weak, even when he appeared, he would not show his full appearance, so having someone impersonate him would be much simpler.
This is also why Su Ruojin didn't show any reaction when she diagnosed the emperor's pulse and found something was wrong.
She only told Xiao Yanchu about it privately, and Xiao Yanchu had the same idea as Su Ruojin.
"I was able to confirm your identity on the Xiaohai."
I had someone escort you off the ship because I was worried about potential clashes with the shogunate and the possibility of you being accidentally injured. But you refused to leave and begged your second brother to stay. From then on, you never disembarked from the Xiaohai again.
You seemed so concerned about your grandfather before. If you don't get off the ship, what will happen to him?
When Tokugi Shingo led the main force to attack the Xiaohai, we used explosives. If an ordinary woman saw this scene, she would be afraid, terrified, and panicked, but your eyes showed shock and even excitement, completely different from ordinary women.
Of course, this is not enough to confirm your identity, but after Tachibana Chiyo came with us to the Xiaohai, the way she looked at you did not show any unfamiliarity, but rather with respect and caution.
She even seemed to casually brush past you several times on the ship.
The Xiaohai is neither too big nor too small. Unless you're really looking for it, the chances of encountering it multiple times in a short period of time are slim. I suppose it's using this method to exchange information with you and get your instructions.
What truly confirmed your identity for me was that Mingdi.
The whistling arrows of the Great Chu are different from those of the Yamato. When the prince ordered Hu Qing to send a signal for our men to launch a full-scale attack on the banner army, a whistling arrow that did not belong to the Great Chu was among them.
It must be said that Your Majesty was quite clever; in such a chaotic situation, few people would have noticed this.
Unfortunately, I happened to see it.
I immediately asked Shen Yu to check where you were, but he searched around and couldn't find you. Finally, you came out from a corner of the deck and said you were scared and had hidden away.
If you're really scared and want to hide, shouldn't you stay in the cabin with my daughter and the others? Why are you hiding on the deck?
Even more coincidentally, after this signal, which did not belong to the Great Chu, was sent out, the guards fighting against the Banner Army suddenly retreated rapidly, clearly having seen the retreat signal.
What kind of person could command the emperor's guard?
And when those samurai rushed at us, Tachibana Chiyo charged straight at you. You were the only person she saw; clearly, her instinctive thought at that moment was to protect you.
At this point, Su Ruojin stopped talking and just looked at Long Shengxiujun.
