"What you say is true?" General Chu Li was skeptical.

Although he doesn't like Zhou Jinzhi, Zhou Jinzhi can climb from a poor student to the position of the head of the household without relying on any external force, obviously he is indeed a little capable.

Therefore, for what Zhou Jinzhi said, Chu Lixin was unbelievable.

There was some truth to it, but it was really unexpected. Although his uncle Jingbeihou was confused in some aspects, he was not a fool, how could he not even figure out whether his child was male or female.

Even if he was deceived at the beginning, and then lived under the same roof together for so many years, how could Jingbei Hou not see it at all?

"Such an important matter, is it possible that Zhou will not be able to open his mouth?" Zhou Jinzhi asked rhetorically, "Whether Huo Shizi is a man or a woman, you can know it at a glance, and there is no way to change it." ”

Chu Li also thinks so, as long as he tests it, he can distinguish between male and female.

However, in the next moment, he heard Zhou Jinzhi say lightly: "However, Zhou persuaded His Highness not to make a big fuss." ”

The safest way is naturally a close examination, whether it is a man or a woman, you can know at a glance.

"The prince values Huo Shizi very much, and arranged for someone to protect her, even the 'Miss Huo' in Jiangzhou is also under the protection of the prince."

The implication is that if Chu Li wants to forcibly test it, it will inevitably alarm Chu Zheng.

Hearing this, Chu Li immediately frowned, "The prince knows that she is a daughter?" ”

He couldn't help but guess in his heart, if Chu Zheng knew that Huo Sijin was his daughter, but he valued her so much, could it be because of the matter of men and women?

If that's the case, then ......

Zhou Jinzhi shook his head and replied: "I don't know, the prince's east palace is like an iron bucket, and His Royal Highness can't find out the news, and Zhou doesn't have that ability." ”

Since Chu Li has become more and more dissatisfied with him recently, Zhou Jinzhi felt that it was necessary to be a little tactful when he spoke, so as to save Chu Li a little face, otherwise it would be really difficult to cooperate in the future.

Zhou Jinzhi's words did not please Chu Li, but Chu Li didn't say anything, at the moment his mind was all on the matter of Huo Sijin is daughter, and this news was told to him by Zhou Jinzhi, so it was rare that he was not dissatisfied with Zhou Jinzhi.

"Chu Zheng is not without flaws." As he spoke, a smug smile rose at the corner of Chu Li's mouth, didn't he catch it? Although he was not sure for sure, his intuition told him that Huo Sijin must be Chu Zheng's weakness.

What Chu Li thought in his heart was exactly what Zhou Jin meant, which was why he told Chu Li about this matter. If he can defeat Chu Zheng in one fell swoop, then it will be much easier to push Chu Li to the top.

"It's a big matter, Your Highness should inform Concubine Xian Niangniang." However, Zhou Jinzhi still kindly reminded such a sentence, lest Chu Li forget his form proudly.

Chu Li put away his smile, "What should I do, this hall has its own plans, Lord Zhou, you can go." But don't worry, if this matter is of great help, this temple will definitely remember you. ”

This is a bit of a river crossing and demolishing the bridge, but Zhou Jinzhi doesn't care, let Chu Li die and charge into battle, and he is the real commander behind the scenes, isn't it good?

……

Chu Li was not perfunctory, such a big matter, of course he would not hide it from Concubine Huo Xian, and immediately entered the palace and told Concubine Huo Xian about it after waving off the palace people.

Concubine Huo Xian was also taken aback, and her face was pale, "Huo Changjin is a woman, how is this possible?" Where did the Yang family get the courage to dare to fill the son with a woman! ”

If it was the Zhou family, Chu Li would not have told her, but if she had a little doubt, she would immediately go to investigate, and she would have known the truth and falsehood. But the soft and weak woman of the Yang family actually had the courage to do such a bold thing. This was what Concubine Huo Xian was most surprised by.

"Mother, when the reincher heard about this, his first reaction was not to believe it, but then he thought about it, it is very likely that the Yang family is weak, but she was not dead at that time, the Taifu was still breathing, with the support of his mother's family, it is not impossible for the Yang family to change the child with the boldness."

Chu Li then said: "With the protection of the prince, the sons did not dare to verify it, but thinking carefully about Huo Changjin's various actions over the years, it really makes people suspicious." She never let people get close to her, and no one had ever seen what was really going on inside her clothes. There is also Huo Sijin, who was raised in Jiangzhou, if the Yang family was still there, it would be fine, but the Yang family has long been gone, she is an orphan girl who stayed in Jiangzhou, as a mother and brother, isn't she distressed? But for so many years, the Yang family and Huo Changjin have never mentioned that they want to take Huo Sijin back to the capital. ”

"Mother, this has not been verified, there are already so many doubts, and the sons can basically conclude that this matter is absolutely true."

"Don't talk yet, let this palace think about it." Concubine Huo Xian only felt that her mind was a little messy, and she needed to calm down and take care of it.

Chu Li closed his mouth and sat quietly on the side, not disturbing Concubine Huo Xian's contemplation.

After a while, Concubine Huo Xian thought about it properly, and raised her eyes to look at Chu Li, "If Huo Changjin is really a daughter, Li'er, what do you think?" ”

Although it has not been completely verified, Concubine Huo Xian also feels that this matter is inseparable.

So, the key is, with such a big piece of news in your hand, how to use it?

"Although everyone knows that Huo Changjin has a bad relationship with the Jingbei Hou Mansion, and she has no relationship with our mother and son, she has always been surnamed Huo, if her identity is reported to the imperial court, the prince who once recommended her will inevitably be affected, but the biggest impact is the Jingbei Hou Mansion." Concubine Huo Xian said.

She thought deeply, because of the blood relationship, Huo Sijin's true identity could not be revealed rashly, otherwise it would do more harm than good to them.

Chu Li said: "Erchen didn't plan to expose this matter. He had some disagreements with Huo Sijin, and he also thought that he would come back with revenge one day, but not now. What's more, Huo Sijin is still of great use now, so he is reluctant to pierce the window paper like this.

"With this handle in his hand, I'm not afraid that Huo Changjin won't give in. With her close relationship with the prince, as long as she uses it properly, bringing down the prince is a matter of raising her hand. Chu Li's eyes were full of cunning and sinister looks.

This was simply a godsend of good fortune, and he felt more and more that he was the future king of Southern Chu appointed by heaven.

Concubine Huo Xian's red lips were lightly raised, and she said with a smile: "This is indeed a good method, but it is not the best. ”

Chu Li looked at Concubine Huo Xian, "What does the concubine have in mind?" ”

He trusts Concubine Huo Xian the most, and he can get to this day thanks to Concubine Huo Xian's plan for him. Although Concubine Huo Xian hadn't said it yet, Chu Li had already subconsciously decided in his heart that Concubine Huo Xian's idea must be even better than his.

"The mother's thoughts are similar to yours, just a little."

Concubine Huo Xian paused, and then continued, "Coercion is effective, but it is not completely effective, if you force people to be ruthless, it is unknown to do something like a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, so coercion alone is not enough, and it is better to supplement it with lure." ”

"Temptation?" Hearing this, Chu Li was puzzled, "How to lure?" She is a woman, and I can't allow her to be a high-ranking official. Money, gold and silver, Yang's dowry is a lot, and she is not short of it. ”

Chu Li couldn't think of anything else that could be used to lure.

Concubine Huo Xian shook her head and chuckled, "Li'er, have you been too busy lately, and your brain can't turn around." Being a woman naturally has the glory of a woman, you tell her that if she wants to change back to her daughter, the best way is to become the most noble woman in the world, and use her power to block the mouths of the people, so that she can stand in front of people openly. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Li's eyes widened in shock, "Mother, what do you mean...... Let her son allow her to be the queen? ”

"Not bad." Concubine Huo Xian said with a straight face, "Only the dignity of the queen can make her abandon the prince and be willing to join your camp." Li'er, think about it, if the prince really has a relationship between men and women for her, then does she choose to be threatened by you, or go to the prince and get the prince's protection? ”

Without Chu Li answering, Concubine Huo Xian directly said the answer, "That's naturally going to the prince." According to the prince's ability, even if she pretends to be a man and commits a big crime, the prince can protect her, but she can't keep it, he can change her identity, and he can still keep her safe. ”
