"What do you mean?" The seventh prince looked into Jiuli's eyes in shock. He had never told Jiuli about his mother. Moreover, what Jiuli said contained too much information. He couldn't believe it for a moment.
"What do you mean? Just go and ask yourself." The reaction of the seventh prince was just as Jiuli expected. The seventh prince's love for his mother was well known. That's why I'm so excited.
"...Jiu Li, I'm leaving first. We'll meet up another day." The seventh prince slowly calmed down. There was no need for Jiu Li to lie to him. He had no intention of staying here anymore. He just wanted to go back quickly. He went to his father to find out the truth about what happened back then.
"Yeah. Go ahead." Jiuli waved his hand.
The seventh prince returned to the palace without stopping. He went straight to the king's palace.
"Seventh Prince. Wait a moment and I will inform the king." Outside the king's palace. Two servants stopped the Seventh Prince. Although there was a smile on his face. But their disdain for the seventh prince could be seen in their eyes. Even the servants had this attitude towards the seventh prince. One can imagine how unpopular he was with the king.
Although the seventh prince was anxious. But there is no other way. Had to wait outside. The servant came out after a while, the disdain in his eyes became even greater.
"Seventh Prince, the king is at work. Please come back."
"Tell father. I have something very important to see him." The seventh prince was not sad after being rejected. This was something he was used to, but now regarding his mother, he had to see his father today. Only the king can do it.
"Seventh Prince. Please don't embarrass us. Maybe the king will see you when he is done with his work." The servant rolled his eyes, wondering why the Seventh Prince is so thick-skinned. They all said no see you. Still have to come. How annoying.
"Excuse me, please tell my father that I really have something very, very important to see him." The seventh prince took out two pieces of gold from his pocket and handed them to the two servants.
"No trouble, no trouble. It's the right thing to do for the Seventh Prince." The servant took the gold. He looked at the seventh prince in front of him flatteringly, with an expression on his face that looked like a bitch.
…
"What important thing can he have?" The king was holding a beautiful woman in his arms. When he saw the servant come in again and said that the seventh prince had something important to ask him, an impatient look appeared on his face.
"This... I don't know either, but the seventh prince said it is very important. I must see you." The servant lowered his head and replied.
"Okay. Ask him to come in." The king replied very impatiently. He felt that the Seventh Prince was extremely disappointing. If you can't tell me anything important, he's good to watch!
The servant breathed a sigh of relief and exited the palace.
"Seventh Prince, the king invites you to come in."
"Yes. Thank you." The seventh prince smiled and nodded to the servant. Then he walked towards the palace.
"Why do you suddenly think that the Seventh Prince is so handsome and so polite?" The servant who had been very disdainful of the Seventh Prince just now saw the Seventh Prince smiling and thanking him. I instantly felt that the seventh prince was very handsome.
"I think so too..." Another servant also replied.
It is normal for the two of them to react like this. They are servants with no status. They have never heard words like thank you.
"Father." The seventh prince looked at the king who was hugging the beautiful woman with a complicated mood. The pain in my heart could not be increased.
"You have something to say." The king didn't even look at the seventh prince. His eyes kept wandering over the beautiful woman in his arms. He was also very indifferent to what the seventh prince said.
"Father. It's better not to let anyone else hear about this matter." The seventh prince's heart felt cold. He was not as good as the woman in his arms in the king's heart, although he had long been used to it. But when he knew that his mother's death might be related to his father, he felt even more uncomfortable when he saw such a scene again.
"...Hmm." The king was very impatient when he heard the seventh prince's words, but if it was really important, he really couldn't let others hear it, so he waved his hand and reluctantly let the beauty in his arms retreat first. .
"Father. I want to ask you about my mother..." After the beauty left, the seventh prince did a lot of mental construction and finally said what he wanted to say.
"Your mother has died a long time ago. Why are you asking me? Is this the important thing you said?" The king's brows twitched. Why would the seventh prince ask him this matter. He pretended to be calm and scolded the seventh prince.
"Yes. Did my mother really commit suicide back then?" The seventh prince felt very sad when he heard the king's scolding. Doesn't the woman he once meant to him not at all? A glimmer of answer seemed to appear in the seventh prince's heart.
"What do you mean by asking me now? Doubt me?" The king patted the table. Roaring very angry and impatiently. He felt that the seventh prince must have known something, but what he cared about more was that the seventh prince dared to question him.
"No, father. It's just that my mother has always been positive and optimistic. Why did she suddenly commit suicide." The seventh prince shook his head. Normally, when he saw his father getting so angry, he would have run away quickly, but now he didn't even have a trace of fear in his heart.
"Ha. She is dead. If you were smart, you shouldn't ask me this." The king's eyes narrowed slightly. Looking at the seventh prince in front of him, he never cared about the son in front of him before and always felt that his son was weak and incompetent. Now I dare to ask him this.
"So my mother's death was not suicide, right?" The seventh prince heard what the king said. I am already 80% sure in my heart.
"Is it that important? Just be your seventh prince." The king replied after taking a sip of water. The panic in my heart just now calmed down. He was indeed the one who killed the seventh prince's mother back then. That woman is pretty. But who let the woman know that he had killed the previous king. That is, it is about his father. She deserved to die. And he calmed down because he felt that the seventh prince was living on him now and could not make any trouble.
"Why?" The seventh prince was a little unsteady on his feet. At this time, he was 100% sure that his mother had not committed suicide. He looked at the king in front of him. his father. He felt very strange. And indifferent. His father looked at him as if he were a kitten or puppy. Not caring at all.
"Because she knows something she shouldn't know." The king stopped pretending. A devilish smile appeared on his face, and he said coldly to the seventh prince.
"But she was once yours." The seventh prince was very angry. There was a hint of trembling in the words that came out.
