Chapter 282 I am your brother
The emperor did not bring much this time, and the income was not enough to cover his expenses. He also privately owned silver mines, gold mines, and jade mines. Some of the jade and gold would be made into exquisite jewelry by the craftsmen in the palace. After being labeled with the palace's labels, the value could be multiplied dozens of times.
With the money, he placed a number of people in Chu State while the latter continued to send spies to Daxia.
The emperor was in a very good mood as he watched each item being sold at a high price.
At this time, Lin San came and said something in the emperor's ear, and the emperor followed him out.
As soon as he left, An Jiu felt a little uneasy. She looked around and saw people everywhere wearing masks. Not far away, there was a man with a dog-head mask who was staring at her.
An Jiu withdrew her gaze, but she didn't expect that the dog-headed man was sitting next to her.
An Jiu frowned and looked around. Everyone's attention was on the stage and no one noticed this side.
“Woof woof woof.”
The dog-headed man suddenly barked three times like a puppy. An Jiu was shocked and thought he had encountered a pervert. Just as he was about to call for help, the man called out softly, "Xiao Jiu."
An Jiu looked at the dog-headed man in surprise.
"you……"
"Xiaojiu, I'm your brother." The dog-headed man said in a low, excited voice.
An Jiu's mood was indescribable. Obviously, this person was a stranger to her, but for some reason she still felt like crying.
"elder brother!"
"Yeah." The dog-headed man seemed very happy: "How are you? Did the dog emperor bully you?"
An Jiu shook his head.
"How are you doing?" she asked.
An Tai seemed to smile: “I’m fine, don’t worry…”
After a pause, he continued, "I will rescue you..."
An Jiu frowned slightly and wanted to say something to An Tai, but the person next to him reminded An Tai that they were leaving.
An Tai glared at the man and said to An Jiu, "You're fine, don't worry about my life or death..."
An Jiu "..."
Bro, you are really good at talking...
An Jiu stood up and tried to catch him, but they had already left quickly.
An Jiu hurriedly followed them out, but they were no longer visible outside. Instead, it was the emperor who had just returned from talking to Lin San.
The emperor, wearing a majestic tiger mask, asked in surprise, "Xiaojiu, why did you come out?"
An Jiu was about to answer...
【An Tai is gone? 】
[How cautious.]
An Jiu looked at him.
"What's wrong?" The emperor was waiting for An Jiu to tell him about An Tai.
An Jiu frowned.
He knows it all!!!
But what does he mean by asking this?
Suspect her?
"Someone just came to see me..."
"Who?" the emperor asked knowingly.
An Jiu said expressionlessly: "He said he was my brother."
"What did he...say?"
An Jiu shook his head.
An Tai didn't say anything useful, and judging by what happened just now, he was also under someone's control.
The emperor nodded: "So they can't help it."
An Jiu exhaled.
Sure enough, the emperor had anticipated this.
But what did he mean? Was he testing her?
Once she had doubts in her heart, even the emperor bringing her out tonight seemed deliberate to An Jiu.
Did he do that on purpose?
Use her to lure An Tai out...
In that case, why not just tell her?
Don't you trust her yet?
Or there must be another reason.
The more An Jiu thought about it, the more upset he became. However, the emperor was calm and composed, as if nothing had happened...
An Jiu got angry and reached out to rub his hair hard, making it into a ball of curls.
The emperor covered his head and looked at her in surprise: "Xiaojiu, are you crazy?"
【Why are you rubbing my head? 】
He touched his curly hair and looked back at Lin San who was not far away.
Lin Sanzheng opened his eyes wide and looked over curiously. The moment his eyes met the emperor's, his eyes widened even more.
The emperor wanted to kill him to silence him...
An Jiu said bitterly: "I hate curly hair the most. What if I give birth to a child with curly hair in the future?"
emperor"……"
There is really no other way...
and……
【Did Xiaojiu take the wrong medicine? 】
The emperor thought suspiciously.
[My father is curly-haired, as is my grandfather, and all our ancestors are...]
[What can I do? ]
The emperor thought about it for a long time, and An Jiu looked at him angrily.
The emperor straightened his hair crown, took off his mask, and looked at her suspiciously.
"Xiaojiu, are you angry?"
"No."
"You're just angry."
The emperor touched his curly hair and felt very aggrieved: "I can't do anything about this hair..."
An Jiu let out a breath. If he continued to say that, he would be considered to be being unreasonable.
Although the emperor had his own ideas, his suspicions and attempts were all very reasonable.
But she still didn't feel well.
"Did you...know that An Tai would come to see me?"
The emperor shook his head: "I don't know."
[So that’s why…]
The emperor explained: "I was just trying it out, but they really came. I didn't tell you because I was worried that you would be exposed if you knew. Are you angry about this?"
An Jiu nodded: "I don't feel well."
The emperor held her in his arms and said, "I allow you to lose your temper."
An Jiu punched him in the chest.
"Are you suspicious of my motives for buying Ah Chen?"
This is what the emperor meant by coincidence for her. An Jiu realized it belatedly.
The emperor felt guilty for a moment.
[I doubted it for a moment, but I absolutely cannot admit it.]
So the emperor shook his head firmly: "No."
He added: "Xiao Jiu, you have to believe me. I will never doubt you."
An Jiu "..."
I couldn't help but punch him in the chest again.
On the way back.
An Jiu couldn't stand the shaking and fell asleep.
The emperor let her lean on him and gently touched her still tender cheek.
Xiaojiu really becomes cuter the more you look at her.
"His Majesty……"
"Shhh."
The emperor got off the carriage and asked, "Did you find out?"
Lin San said: "We have found An Tai's hiding place. Do we want to rescue him now?"
The emperor shook his head: "Don't alert them for now, lest they become desperate. Also, have someone contact An Tai quietly..."
Are they only allowed to use Xiaojiu? He can also ask Antai to help with something and see whether Antai is loyal to Chu or cares more about his sister.
If it is the former, such a brother will only be a trouble to Xiaojiu.
If it's the latter...
The emperor glanced at An Jiu who was sleeping soundly in the carriage.
It would be nice for Xiaojiu to have more relatives.
As he said, he could make an exception for Xiaojiu.
Lin San: "I understand."
It was already night when they returned to the palace. An Jiu was still sleeping, but her sleep was not serene. The emperor did not wake her up, but carried her back to Guanghua Palace.
Everyone in Guanghua Palace saw it, but pretended not to see anything.
Xiao Fuzi enviously thought, it's so good to be a woman, to be held by His Majesty...
He will not have this life...
