Everyone followed Su Ruojin's gaze and saw Li Zi looking at Su Ruojin with some confusion.
Apart from Xiao Yanchu, everyone else looked shocked.
Su Ziyang's mouth dropped open in disbelief as he exclaimed, "Xiao Jin, are you mistaken? Li Zi is a woman, how could she possibly be the Emperor?"
If Li Zi were a man, Su Ziyang would not doubt Xiao Jin.
But Riko is clearly a woman; there has never been a woman who became emperor.
Su Ruojin did not answer, but calmly looked at Li Zi.
Faced with Su Ruojin's gaze, Li Zi gradually calmed down from her initial bewilderment and then chuckled softly.
In that instant, everyone could feel that Riko's aura had completely changed.
If Riko was once a cute but timid girl next door, now she naturally exudes the aura of authority of a superior.
They have the same face, but they are completely different people.
Li Zi looked at Su Ziyang with some guilt, "I'm sorry, Brother Su, I lied to you."
She then looked at Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu, "When did you find out?"
Su Ziyang stared wide-eyed, momentarily stunned.
Is this Riko really Emperor Yamato?
Empress Yamato was actually a woman...
What exactly happened?
It wasn't that Su Ziyang looked down on women, but the tradition in the Nine Provinces for thousands of years had always been that only men could become emperors, and now all of this had overturned his understanding.
Also, why was he unaware, while Xiao Jin was able to discover it?
Seeing that Xiao Yanchu showed no surprise, it seemed he already knew.
So, am I the only fool?
However, when Su Ziyang turned around and saw that Hu Qing also looked shocked, he felt a little better.
It seems he's not the only fool.
In response to Li Zi's question, Su Ruojin said, "When I saved your grandfather, I thought it was an accident and didn't take it to heart."
But then you reappeared and took a knife for my second brother, which is too much of a coincidence.
Coincidences do exist in the world, but too many coincidences are abnormal.
However, I must say, you covered it up very well and arranged it perfectly. I had someone check, and everything matched what you said. I didn't find any problems.
Later, you stayed with us, wanting to help, but you couldn't even tell the difference between the dishes, and you broke many bowls. How could a girl from a poor family be like that?
I suspected your identity at the time, but I assumed you were sent by Deyi Kangren to monitor us, and even considered the possibility that you were sent by the Emperor. I never imagined you were the Emperor himself.
Riko Asakawa, oh no, now it should be Hideaki Takamori who didn't expect that his good intentions in trying to help back then would backfire and expose his true colors.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but ask, "Since you already suspected my identity back then, why did you keep me by your side?"
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Because I'm curious, curious about what you really want to do?"
Besides, no matter which side you're on, if you're used well, you're a good pawn, and I certainly won't waste such an opportunity.
If you are a virtuous, righteous, and benevolent person, staying by our side must be for the purpose of finding the antidote.
