Chapter 920: Imperial Jade Seal
Lan Tong stared in surprise.
"You girl actually recognized the Jade Seal of King Dijin?"
"have you seen?"
Mi Yao felt helpless after hearing this.
"I am just a common girl, how could I have ever seen the emperor's jade seal? You are just joking."
"Look, the words on the jade seal clearly say, 'Jade Seal of King Di Jin'."
"The engraving patterns on seals are indeed regulated by the nobility. If we common people dare to use them without permission, it will bring disaster to the whole family."
Lan Tong took a closer look and came to a conclusion.
"That prince accidentally left this item behind. I guess he is the real King Dijin."
Mi Yao acted cautiously.
"This matter is of great importance. We should not rush to draw conclusions. We must think of a way to test whether the jade seal is real or not."
Lan Tong agreed.
"What's your idea, girl?"
Mi Yao quickly made up her mind.
"We don't recognize the Jade Seal of Emperor Jin, but the people in the Eight Terraces do. When they learn the rules, they must learn to identify the Jade Seal, the Jade Seal, and the Gold Seal."
"I'll go check it out and find out whether it's real or not."
Lan Tong hurriedly grabbed her.
"Think twice, girl."
"If this thing is fake, you will be charged with forging the Jade Seal of King Dijin!"
Mi Yao comforted her softly.
"Don't be afraid. I have a plan to deal with it. I won't be charged with any crime."
"Tinghetai is the closest to our home. I'll go give it a try."
They quickly arrived at Tinghetai in Tongrou County and Mi Yao asked the soldiers guarding the door.
"Excuse me, my Lords, what is this?"
The soldiers and guards took one look and immediately recognized the emperor's jade seal, and knelt down in greeting.
"Welcome King Dijin to live forever."
After testing out the truth and putting on a simple act to smooth things over, Mi Yao returned to the house and told Lan Tong the result.
Lan Tong rested his chin on his hand, thinking.
"After confirmation by Lord Tinghetai, he is undoubtedly Prince Dijin."
"But why would King Dijin choose a scoundrel as his subordinate?"
Mi Yao asked in confusion.
"how you said that?"
Lan Tong's brows were slightly frowned.
"You may have forgotten that last month, we met a man. When we first met, he said that he fell in love with us at first sight and wanted to marry you and take me as his concubine."
"Don't you think that King Dijin looks familiar?"
After she said that, Mi Yao suddenly understood.
"Oh, yes, it's him. I remember now."
"He didn't say his name or surname, and he just came towards me and started talking rudely. He's obviously a playboy."
"How can King Dijin not recognize people? What's the point of accepting him as a minister?"
The blue eyes looked full of disdain.
"Prince Dijin's personal bodyguard is the eldest son of the Gao family, Lord Gao Jing."
"I heard that Mr. Gao is a martial arts master of the time, ranked first in the Shengjing examination, and was once the dream lover of many women."
"That lecher, could he be Mr. Gao?"
Mi Yao disagreed.
"Rumor has it that Mr. Gao is upright and has no bad reputation. He is not a playboy."
"There are more than one guard around the prince, that lecher, or some unknown guard."
"The attendant also calls himself a subordinate. He may also be the prince's personal attendant."
Blue pupils are obedient.
"Well, the lady's analysis makes sense."
Mi Yao pays attention to details.
"Just now, in front of the prince, he pretended not to know us."
"I think the prince is unaware of his philandering. He knows it in his heart. The prince is kind and compassionate, and will definitely not allow his subordinates to act recklessly. Therefore, he dare not report the matter of marriage, fearing that he will be punished."
Blue pupils regret.
"At that time, we should have exposed him, so that the prince could see his true character and stop employing evil people."
"Alas, what a pity, my eyesight was poor and I failed to recognize him in time."
Mi Yao is able to see the big picture from the small details.
"Based on the way they get along with each other, I guess he has been with the prince for quite some time."
"Your Majesty, he trusts him quite a bit. We are just new acquaintances, and if we speak rashly, Your Majesty will definitely not believe us."
"To expose him, I have to plan slowly. As long as I can expose his true face before the prince leaves the county, that will be enough."
At night, Mi Yao and Lan Tong received a letter, and King Di Jin invited them.
Half believing and half doubting, they went to the agreed place together, looked around, but could not see King Di Jin.
Zou Wei walked towards them with his head held high.
Seeing that the situation was not good, they turned around and tried to leave, but were blocked by Zou Xi's men.
Mi Yao immediately protected Tong'er.
"Let Tong'er go. If you have any problem, come to me."
Lan Tong was so eager to protect his master that he forgot his fear for a moment.
"No, please, let the girl go. I will stay and let you do whatever you want with me."
Zou Xi stood in front of them and playfully hooked Mi Yao's nose with his index finger.
"My two beauties, don't panic."
Mi Yao dodged in disgust, quickly took off her hairpin, and stabbed him hard.
Zou Xi felt pain and retracted his hand, then turned around and pinched Lan Tong's jaw.
"You should know that I can't bear to hurt you."
Knowing that Tong'er was timid and dared not do anything but run away, Mi Yao used her hairpin again to stab him and protect Tong'er.
"Tell me what you want to do?"
Zou Xi was straightforward.
"I have been with the prince for many years and I know his character well."
"He will never trust me with his true feelings. Miss Mi, please do not trust him. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."
Hearing the words "Mi Girl", Mi Yao showed disdain on her face.
"You ignored the law and investigated my background privately?"
Zou Xi admitted it generously.
"Not only me, the prince also secretly investigated."
"But there is one thing that is a little strange. How did he find out that your last name is Pan and your name is Pan Yuzhi?"
Mi Yao just made up something.
"My family's surname is Pan."
"My original name was Pan Yuzhi, but later I changed it to my mother's surname."
Zou Wei believed it without a doubt.
"I see."
Mi Yao reluctantly gave him a smile.
"I'll remember your advice. Thank you for your kindness."
"Tong'er, let's go."
Zou Xi stretched out his arms to block it.
"Old friends are reunited, why are you in such a hurry, girl? We are engaged, it's okay for you to stay with me for one night."
"I will keep my promise and marry you."
Mi Yao glared at him.
"If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."
Zou Xi's smiling face is frivolous and reckless.
"Miss Mi, so fierce? I like it."
"Whether you are fierce or gentle, I like you no matter what you are like."
Mi Yao's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes were fierce.
"You challenged my patience, don't blame me for being merciless."
"When I see you tomorrow, I'll let you know how powerful I am."
Zou Xi warned seriously.
"Don't go see him."
"Isn't my meaning clear enough? He has bad intentions."
"In his eyes, you are nothing more than a chess piece, used in the political struggle, and discarded when you have used all of it."
"The prince has a favorite."
Mi Yao took it calmly.
"Are they married? Are they engaged?"
Zou Wei answered truthfully.
"No."
Mi Yao looked as if it was a matter of course.
"That's fair play, why can't I see him?"
Zou Xi couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Are you really in love with the prince?"
"You...why are you so stupid?"
Feeling his jealousy, Mi Yaowei felt disgusted.
"Tomorrow we will have a battle of wits to see who is stupid and who is smart. It is too early for you to make a conclusion, sir."
"It's late at night, and there are differences between men and women. Please respect yourself and allow me to leave."
Zou Wei had a lot of grievances that he couldn't express.
"If you don't listen to me, you will regret it."
Mi Yao's momentum is outstanding and sharp.
"You will regret it if you dare to mess with me."
