"Replying to the Empress Dowager, this lowly subject is from the Great Xia Kingdom and grew up in Prince Cheng's Imperial Residence!”
Chu Xiu said calmly.
The Empress Dowager sneered, her eyes filled with mockery!
"As far as this widow knows, there is only one way to reach Rank-9 at the age of twenty!”
"That is, from the moment he was born, the martial grandmaster used supreme essence force to change his tendons and cleanse his marrow. Then, he supplemented it with heavenly and earthly treasures and soaked in medicinal baths every month!”
"Only by doing so can it be possible to advance to Rank-9!”
"In the past, which Rank-9 didn't put in a lot of effort, cultivating for decades or even centuries?”
"So, do you think this widow will believe that you built it yourself?”
The Empress Dowager sneered.
Chu Xiu was speechless and sighed.
"If Empress Dowager doesn't believe me, I can't do anything. My cultivation is indeed my own. Just because I've reached Rank-9, you can't suspect that I'm a spy from another country!”
"You were the emperor in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility that night, right?”
The Empress Dowager suddenly asked.
Chu Xiu fell silent!
How did this Empress Dowager know everything?
Do you know that the little Emperor is a woman?
Chu Xiu couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"It's useless to deny it. This widow knows that the emperor will never sleep in Kun Ning Palace!”
The empress dowager continued to speak.
Chu Xiu's heart skipped a beat. What did this mean? The Empress Dowager was hinting at something!
"Bengong has checked the information of the palace guards. You were arranged by Prince Cheng to enter the palace, right?”
Chu Xiu looked at the Empress Dowager speechlessly and said,""Empress Dowager, why don't you speak up?”
This kind of roundabout excuse made him feel a headache!
Looking at Chu Xiu's clear eyes, the Empress Dowager hesitated.
"Chu Xiu, you want to save the emperor, right?”
"You know that the Emperor is a woman, right?”
Chu Xiu smiled as he understood!
"As expected, the Grand Empress Dowager also knows!”
Chu Xiu continued with a smile,"This humble official originally felt that it would be very difficult to hide anything from the Grand Empress Dowager in the palace!"”
"Actually, this widow also knows that Reverend Ming Xin came to the palace!”
"He was sent by King Cheng to protect the emperor!”
The empress dowager continued to release a bomb.
What was that?
Chu Xiu was truly shocked this time!
That old thing was sent by the Imperial Residence to protect the Emperor?
What kind of brain did the Imperial Residence have to send such an idiot?
"You killed him because he had designs on the Empress?”
You don't know his identity?"
"So, you should have died anyway. King Cheng's Imperial Residence didn't know your strength. In their plan, you could have been killed by Reverend Ming Xin at any time, right?”
The Empress Dowager stared at Chu Xiu with a solemn expression!
"So, the Empress Dowager also knows about Prince Cheng's plan?”
Chu Xiu said expressionlessly, but his heart was filled with killing intent.
"I don't know!" The Empress Dowager coldly refuted.”
"This widow only knows that Old Demon Ming Xin was sent by them to protect the emperor. That old demon walked the path of dual cultivation.”
"So, he can have sex in the palace. Other than this widow, the emperor and the empress dowager, the other women are at his mercy, including the empress!”
"They don't even want the face of the royal family!”
At this point, the empress dowager was so angry that her heart was surging!
Chu Xiu looked at the Empress Dowager and asked seriously,""This official doesn't want to fight with the Empress Dowager!”
"Empress Dowager, if you have something to say, you can say it directly.”
"I have nothing to do with other countries!”
"Staying in the palace, firstly, is to appreciate His Majesty's kindness. Secondly, there must be an outcome to the marriage with the Empress!”
"The matter of His Majesty's ascension to the throne is obviously full of doubts. There's a big secret!”
"His Majesty and I established the Martial Arts Department just to have more self-protection ability!”
Chu Xiu couldn't be bothered to waste his breath and spoke bluntly!
At this moment, the Empress Dowager looked deeply at Chu Xiu and calmly said,""You dare to say that!"
"There's nothing to be afraid of. It's this lowly subject's strength that gives this lowly subject sufficient confidence!”
"Even against a martial grandmaster?"
The Empress Dowager continued to ask.
Chu Xiu pondered for a moment and calmly said,""I haven't fought with a martial grandmaster before, so it's not good to say what happened.”
However, the Empress Dowager's words gave Chu Xiu many clues.
"There's no need for the Empress Dowager to say anything. This lowly official has guessed some truth!”
"The person behind the scenes who supported His Majesty to ascend the throne should be the group of imperial experts who disappeared from the Imperial Palace thirty years ago?”
"There are martial grandmasters among that group of people, and there's a high chance that they're from the royal family!”
"So whether it's King Cheng or the Empress Dowager, you're just puppets in the hands of those people?”
"That group of people wanted His Majesty to ascend the throne because they wanted the empress to use her position as the emperor to gather existences like fate or dragon qi and then act as a furnace!”
"Am I right? Grand Empress Dowager?"
Chu Xiu calmly looked at the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager's heart was in turmoil.
"Looking at the Empress Dowager's expression, my guess should be correct!”
Chu Xiu continued with a smile.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager stared at Chu Xiu without blinking, her expression uncertain.
In the end, he seemed to have the courage to go all out.
"Forget it, even the emperor believes you, this widow doesn't need to be entangled!”
"Chu Xiu, as long as you agree to join forces with this widow, this widow will tell you the great secret of the emperor's ascension, including the identity of the mastermind.”
Just as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, a notification appeared in front of Chu Xiu!
Ding! The host is about to explore the deepest secrets of Great Xia. The system provides the following options!
Option 1: Agree to the Empress Dowager's request and join forces with her! [Reward: Martial Arts Encyclopedia, Art of Longevity]
[Option 2: Rejecting the Empress Dowager is none of my business!] [Reward: Ferghana Horse]
[Option 3 (Special): Subdue the Empress Dowager and take her in as a harem!] [Reward: 1,000-year Dragon Essence (Complete)]
Due to the strong attributes of the host, Thief Cao, Special Option 3 is provided!
This selection will be based on the results of the operation!
Chu Xiu looked at the options on the screen in front of him and was speechless!
How come I'm so f * cking strong?!
Moreover, the system had learned to be a scoundrel. It actually looked at the results of the action and not the verbal choice!
"What does the Empress Dowager mean by joining forces?”
Chu Xiu pretended to be puzzled.
"As long as you swear to help this widow kill one of them, this widow will agree to you joining forces with this widow!”
At this moment, the Empress Dowager's face was filled with hatred as she spoke through gritted teeth.
"Kill who?"
Chu Xiu didn't agree to it directly. Instead, he asked back.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Chu Xiu and said word by word,""Xia Lie, the founding emperor of Great Xia!"
"Who is it?"
Chu Xiu looked at the Empress Dowager in confusion, as if he was trying to confirm if he had heard wrongly!
The founding emperor of Great Xia?
How many years has Grand Xia been established? It must have been over a thousand years!
It had been so many years, and he was still alive?
What a joke!
The Empress Dowager nodded seriously."That's right, it's him. The founding emperor, Xia Lie!”
