Zhao Qi is usually the most calm person.

Seeing him using the word "appalling" now, Yun Wanning thought he had discovered something big!

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qi lowered his voice and talked about the "horrible" thing in a low voice.

After hearing what he said, Yun Wanning and Mo Ye didn't speak for a while.

Seeing that they were silent, Zhao Qi hurriedly asked, "Master, mistress, what's wrong?"

"Zhaoqi."

Yun Wanning said helplessly, "It does sound a bit... shocking! But we already know about this 'appalling' thing!"

"ah?"

Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment.

After he found out about the matter, he came back to report the matter as soon as possible.

Who knew, it would be a step too late?

"Master, Mistress, do you already know about this?!"

As calm as Zhao Qi, he couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.

"yes."

Yun Wanning shook her head, "How did you find out about this matter? But what flaws did Nangong Xiao show?"

Since this matter is no longer unusual, Zhao Qi scratched his head and said, "My subordinate found out about this matter from Nangong Xiao. However, there is one thing that I am not sure about."

"explain."

Mo Ye never liked to show off.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Qi straightened his face and said quickly, "I wonder if Nangong Xiao deliberately released the news that Ruyu is the illegitimate son of the Emperor of Dongjun!"

"oh?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Wanning became interested.

She and Mo Ye looked at each other and said, "What do you mean?"

"Although Nangong Xiao didn't do anything too obvious, my subordinates have followed him for many years, so this premonition is very strong."

Zhao Qi replied in a deep voice.

Although he has been with Nangong Xiao for many years.

But Nangong Xiao's reputation in Dongjun is not very good.

Although he is a famous "King of War" in the four countries, this reputation is only spread outside Dongjun. Who in Dongjun doesn't know where he came from as "King of War"?

The reason why he was named the King of War was because he was brave and good at fighting and had won many battles.

But the reason why he was able to win several wars was not because of Zhao Qi and others?!

Without Zhao Qi and others, he is nothing!

"Nangong Xiao has always been brave and reckless."

This "brave" is not a compliment to him, but more a description of his "brainlessness"!

"This time, Ruyu's true identity was confirmed by Nangong Xiao, and he reported it back to the Emperor of Dongjun. He even expressed his attitude generously, saying that he was willing to respect Ruyu as the prince."

Zhao Qi frowned.

He pondered for a moment, and finally said truthfully, "Master, mistress, this subordinate shouldn't have said this."

"But……"

"But it doesn't matter."

Mo Ye had no patience, raised his chin and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Qi then continued to reply, "According to my subordinate's understanding of Nangong Xiao...if he really knew that Ruyu was the illegitimate son of the Emperor of Dongjun, he would not be so generous."

"Instead, he will kill Ruyu first!"

Nangong Xiao only wanted to ascend the throne.

Over the years, a lot of things have been done to mutilate siblings.

Precisely because he is brave and ruthless...

Even the Emperor of Dongjun was not happy with him!

Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have been made the prince long ago!

The Emperor of Dongjun had always known that he had an illegitimate son living abroad, but he had never found out who this person was.

After all, no one thought that the illegitimate son of the Emperor of East County would serve the Crown Prince of Nan County for many years!

Moreover, he is also a secret guard!

Now that Ruyu's identity is found out, let alone making him the crown prince, Nangong Xiao will directly suppress the news and prevent it from reaching the ears of the Emperor of Dongjun!

Otherwise, once Ruyu returns to Dongjun, wouldn't she compete with him for the throne?

How could Nangong Xiao let this happen?

"So my subordinates believe that Nangong Xiao definitely has another conspiracy!"

Zhao Qi's tone was very affirmative.

Yun Wanning nodded in agreement, "It's not that he had another conspiracy, he was just plotting it."

She sneered, "I'm not sure. Is he testing Ruyu's humanity?"

"human nature?"

Ru Mo at the door couldn't help but said, "Mother, does that brat Ru Yu still have humanity?"

Although he had already forgiven Ruyu, he still couldn't help but take up the topic after hearing these words.

Yun Wanning glanced at him and didn't blame him for talking too much.

Ru Mo beat Ru Yan like that, and not only did Ru Mo not kill him, but he even took care of him together with Ru Yan... This guy is still angry now, and that's right.

Ru Mo realized that he had made a mistake and quickly closed his mouth.

"Mother, I don't think this is a problem."

Zhao Qi shook his head, "Nangong Xiao is a person who doesn't have too many ideas."

Perhaps it can be said that he has a lot of insight.

But... there are not many useful minds!

Whatever Nangong Xiao plans, there is a high probability that it will not work, and it will cause him more losses than gains!

Therefore, things like "testing Ruyu's human nature" are not possible for Nangong Xiao.

"Yes."

Yun Wanning nodded.

Xu felt that her idea just now was a bit ridiculous, and she couldn't help but chuckle, "Nangong Xiao doesn't need to test Ruyu's humanity! After all... he only cares about the throne!"

How could he care about Ruyu’s humanity?

I'm afraid that before Ruyu returns to Dongjun, he will disappear from this world and won't be able to compete with him for the throne, right?

It is really unnecessary to test human nature!

"So what did Nangong Xiao do?"

Mo Ye asked in a deep voice.

He doesn't care what kind of person Nangong Xiao is, he only cares whether he is a threat to the people he cares about!

"Back to the master, my subordinates speculate that Nangong Xiao has revealed Ruyu's true identity now, and actually has two purposes."

"explain."

"Firstly, he wanted to gain favor in front of the Emperor of Dongjun! He offered to take Ruyu back to Dongjun to inherit the throne. Firstly, he wanted to gain the favor of the Emperor of Dongjun, and secondly, he wanted to kill Ruyu with his own hands, so as to avoid long nights and dreams!"

This first major point also contains two smaller ideas.

"Even if Ruyu is not killed, he can still monitor Ruyu's every move right in front of him!"

Zhao Qi looked serious, "But my subordinates always feel that... this is not an idea that Nangong Xiao can come up with."

Nangong Xiao's stupid brain can only think of the throne, so how could he come up with such a meticulous method?

"Um."

Mo Ye responded solemnly.

If Nangong Xiao had such a scheming mind, he would have secured the position of the Crown Prince of Dongjun long ago!

"Secondly, he knew that his master had nothing to do with him! So he deliberately revealed Ruyu's identity. He actually wanted to test the master's reaction! To see if the master would kill Ruyu because of this!"

It has to be said that although Nangong Xiao is an idiot, he still guessed it right——
