Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Fortunately, Jiang Jiu was still a child at that time and slept more during the day, so he was not so sleepy at night.

When she saw someone trying to steal her bag, she burst into tears, which alarmed a passing night patrol officer and saved her from disaster.

You know, although Nanny Qian sewed all the banknotes into her clothes.

But they also have a lot in their baggage.

Besides, if you really want to steal the things, it will cause a lot of trouble.

"A black shop? Outside of Su City, it's Sixth Brother's territory. If we really run into a black shop, we'll be in trouble."

Zhao Zhuoxi didn't want to confront someone he knew in the Sixth Prince's fiefdom.

Jiang Jiu smiled and wrote a name on the table with the tea.

Zhao Zhuoxi was stunned: "How is that possible?"

Jiang Jiu raised the corner of his lips: "When has my judgment ever been wrong? Without evidence, I won't make random guesses."

Zhao Zhuoxi pondered for a moment: "So, you want to take this opportunity to make it clear?"

Jiang Jiu nodded.

"And then?" Zhao Zhuoxi asked again, "What are you going to do then? Kill him?"

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and said, "If his identity is true, he will be killed even if he returns. You should know the consequences of being a spy."

Zhao Zhuoxi himself had spies, and of course he knew that if the spies were discovered, they would have no choice but to die.

Jiang Jiu: "Let him be my spy, and I can save his life."

Zhao Zhuoxi was a little worried: "But can you still trust someone who betrayed his master?"

Jiang Jiu sighed faintly: "We have to give it a try. After all, it's a life. We can't just let it die like this. He just chose someone else as his master. It wasn't voluntary. Give him a chance to choose voluntarily."

"If he chooses me, he just needs to tell me the other party's moves. If he continues to choose his master, it doesn't matter. At most, I will no longer use him."

In short, Jiang Jiu would not kill people for no reason.

Zhao Zhuoxi didn't say anything.

The group walked for a day and arrived at their first destination, Sui County, in the evening. This county was much larger than Xiang County.

It is also much more prosperous. The streets in the county town are spacious and clean, with shops lined up on both sides of the streets.

According to Jiang Jiu's arrangement, the group of carriages came directly to a place called Yuelai Inn.

But when Jiang Jiu arrived, he found that the inn was empty and there was no one there.

Jiang Jiu stood at the door and watched for a long time, feeling uncomfortable. She was still venting her anger, so why was the person gone?

At this moment, the owner of the shop next door was preparing to close.

"Are you guys staying at the inn? Everyone in this inn has died for unknown reasons. You should go somewhere else."

Jiang Jiu was even more surprised: "Dead? When?"

The innkeeper said, "He died fifteen years ago. This inn has been empty for a long time. I heard that this inn was a shady place that always stole things from guests. One time, I don't know who he stole from, and then he was killed."

Jiang Jiu calculated the time and it was almost after she and Nanny Qian checked into the hotel.

"This inn has just been empty? For fifteen years?"

The innkeeper said, "After a murder, who would dare to rent this inn? The authorities came several times but couldn't find the murderer. So this inn became empty and has remained so until now."

Jiang Jiu gradually felt that something was not right.

They found another inn. Yiye Xiaozhou had so much business that it had no involvement in the inn industry.

After Jiang Jiu and others settled down, they thought about it and called Zhao Li over.

Zhao Li is only 22 years old this year, and he was still a child fifteen years ago.

"Miss, when I took over the task of secretly taking care of you, you were already in Xiang County."

Jiang Jiu asked again: "Didn't you say that my mother gave you this jade pendant? Who gave it to you during the mission?"

Zhao Li thought for a moment and finally told the truth.

"Miss, someone told me about your mother's affairs. He also gave me the jade pendant. I don't know him. He was wearing a mask and dressed in black, and it was a dark night."

"He said he was your mother's subordinate, and because he had other things to do, he asked his subordinate to secretly look after the girl. He also delivered the one hundred taels a month on time."

Jiang Jiu knew that there was someone else behind Zhao Li.

Ask: "Do you think it could be my father?"

Zhao Li didn't say anything for a long time before shaking his head: "I don't know. I don't look like Lord Chang."

Great, things are getting more and more wonderful.

She hasn't even arrived in the capital yet, and the situation is already so serious.

In order to hide their tracks, Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoxi lived in the same room.

After sleeping too much during the day, Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoxi were not so sleepy at night. They ordered a pot of wine and drank together.

Jiang Jiu suddenly became curious about the royal family.

"You're the ninth child. Do you have eight older brothers?"

They are about to arrive in the capital. Things in the capital are complicated and it is time for Zhao Zhuoxi to tell her about the seriousness of the matter.

Otherwise, with her personality, she would definitely get into trouble if she ran around recklessly in the capital.

"No, I only have three older brothers, three siblings who didn't grow up, and two older sisters."

The current emperor is the eldest son. The third prince is talented and is the queen's son. He was made the crown prince. After his death, the eldest son will inherit the family business.

This is the tradition. The queen died seven or eight years after the death of the third prince.

The current empress dowager is the emperor's mother.

But the late queen also had a son, the sixth prince Zhao Zhuoli.

It is said that after he was born, he was raised in the deep palace because of his disability. When he was twelve years old, he left the palace and set up his own home. Not many people have seen him.

One of the two princesses married a prince from a neighboring country as a marriage alliance.

After the second princess Zhao Ronghua got married, her husband died of illness and she became a widow. She returned to the princess's mansion and took two concubines.

There is no good or bad relationship among brothers. Zhao Zhuoxi recalled the past and sighed.

"My eldest brother is a dull person. Father doesn't like him. He always says that he is too methodical and lacks the leniency of a monarch. He is also easily influenced and indecisive."

"Third brother was good, but he died early. Sixth brother was the easiest to get along with. Although he had a disability, he was optimistic and easygoing. He was the best to play with when we were kids."

"Every time I skip school, it's my Sixth Brother who takes me with him, but Mother doesn't like me playing with him."

Jiang Jiu understood this very well: "Being born with a disability means he doesn't need to learn so many things. It's enough for him to be an idle prince for his whole life. He is naturally optimistic and easygoing."

Zhao Zhuoxi pursed her lips. "The eldest sister is very sophisticated and gentle. The second sister is far too mischievous. She's been causing trouble in the palace since she was little. But it just so happens that the emperor loves her the most. However, she was unlucky. She married a major general who died in battle. Now she's all alone."

Jiang Jiu took a deep breath and thought that as a princess, it was fine to be alone.

"If... I mean, if you want to become emperor, who do you think will support you?"

Zhao Zhuoxi took the red sandalwood bracelet in her hand and began to play with it.

“Not even one of them will necessarily support it.”

Jiang Jiu was surprised: "Didn't they say that you and Sixth Brother got along best? Doesn't he support you?"

Zhao Zhuoxi smiled bitterly: "No matter who becomes the emperor, he is just an idle prince, why bother to meddle in other people's affairs."
