"What's going on? It shouldn't be?"

Chu Nanli tinkered with the machine in front of her for a long time, but still couldn't get it to work again.

In desperation, she could only give up temporarily.

Fortunately, she is not completely ignorant of these machines.

Aren't there other machines in the space?

After she dismantled those things and fumbled around to study the principles, she might be able to fix it herself one day.

Coming out of the space, Chu Nanli subconsciously wanted to call Yan'er to come over for help. After being stunned for a moment, she remembered that Yan'er should still be resting now.

Of the two subordinates she had managed to train, Chu Yi was seriously injured and was still recuperating at Zhuang Lin's place, while Yan'er's injuries were not serious either.

Fortunately, neither of their lives were in danger.

Chu Nanli was not the kind of person who couldn't survive without being cared for by others, but she was currently living in the Regent's Mansion, so how could Ye Jiuxiao cause any inconvenience to her.

As soon as she made some noise in the house, the waiters outside the house noticed it and quickly brought water in to serve her.

"Miss, do you want to eat now? Your Majesty has just ordered the kitchen and specially prepared a lot of light meals for you, miss. If you don't want to eat them, just tell the slaves."

Although Ye Jiuxiao didn't say it clearly, these people who came to serve Chu Nanli had already treated her as a future princess.

Judging from the quality of these servants, the management of the Regent's Palace is much better than that of the Zhan Prince's Palace.

"Just bring out the food you prepared earlier. By the way, where is the prince?"

Since there is no way to do a paternity test for the time being, she can only put this matter aside for the time being and think about the future first.

"The prince should be in the study now. Miss, do you want to see the prince?"

The servant serving her in front of her was particularly clever. Before she could speak, he had already trotted out to invite Ye Jiuxiao over.

Another servant, while serving her dishes, talked to Chu Nanli about the new things outside to relieve her boredom.

"Young lady, you probably don't know yet, right? All the news about Chu Kingdom has reached the capital in the past two days."

"I heard that the legendary goddess of the Chu Kingdom wants to choose a husband. She is not satisfied with the young men of the Chu Kingdom. In a while, she will come to our place."

The goddess of Chu?

Choosing a husband?

This is nothing.

The maid's words made Chu Nanli more and more confused, and she still didn't recover until Ye Jiuxiao came over.

"What's wrong? But they didn't serve me well?"

When Ye Jiuxiao came over, he saw her dazed look and thought she had something on her mind.

His sharp eyes swept over the servants waiting on the side, frightening those people to the point where their calves became weak, but they did not dare to breathe.

"No, I just heard something," Chu Nanli looked at him hesitantly, "Have you ever heard of the name of the goddess of Chu?"

"I just heard them say that the news that the goddess of Chu wants to choose a husband seems to have reached the capital."

But why doesn’t she, the client, know any information?

Not only that, she had contacted the original owner's family before, and after reporting to them that he was safe, they didn't mention anything about her husband.

Moreover, in the memory of the original owner, her family members all loved her very much, so how could they rashly choose a husband for her.

Ye Jiuxiao obviously misunderstood her meaning.

He quickly said seriously: "Don't worry, I have nothing to do with the goddess of Chu, and her decision to choose a husband has nothing to do with me."

As for whether other princes would have any ideas, he didn't know.

Any prince who has thoughts about the throne will definitely not miss this great opportunity. But they also didn’t think about it, is it so easy to be the husband of a goddess of Chu?

By the time they have a relationship with the Chu State, they think they have received help, but they may just dig their own graves in the end.

Ye Jiuxiao's words made Chu Nanli feel a little guilty for no reason.

She originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell Ye Jiuxiao her identity.

But now, all the unfounded news came here from Chu State, and she was not sure about Ye Jiuxiao's attitude, let alone how to speak.

Ye Jiuxiao was now in a hurry to prove her innocence, but he didn't notice the slight discomfort on her face.

He simply turned aside the servants serving around him and sat directly beside her, the look in his eyes was extremely serious.

"I've said it before, you are the only person I want to marry in my life. I don't want anyone else except you."

"Of course I know this."

Chu Nanli was stared at by his burning gaze, feeling both ashamed and happy in her heart.

Of course she believed Ye Jiuxiao's words, but she still wanted to ask more clearly about this matter.

As long as she opened her mouth, Ye Jiuxiao would not hide anything and soon told all the news that her subordinates had heard in Chu State.

The news that the goddess of the Chu Kingdom chose a husband is naturally a mixture of truth and falsehood.

The state counselors of Chu State calculated a few days ago that their goddess needs to go to various countries as envoys to resolve an upcoming disaster in Chu State.

The goddess of Chu State has indeed reached the marriageable age. Her family has always loved her and announced the selection of a husband as early as a year ago.

These two pieces of news were put together by someone who was interested, and when they were spread out, they naturally changed.

"So this is ah."

Chu Nanli smiled dryly and nodded, and the guilty conscience in his eyes suddenly became more obvious.

But today is obviously not a good time to confess to Tongye Jiuxiao.

Ye Jiuxiao was not very curious about the movements of the goddess of Chu.

He was more concerned about the thoughts of those in Chu State.

The Chu State has always been powerful. Although the reigning emperor said he loves peace, there is no guarantee that his subordinates will not have concerns about neighboring countries.

He didn't want to see people displaced because of this.

Ye Jiuxiao would not talk to Chu Nanli about these things.

He didn't want her to worry.

Seeing that Ye Jiuxiao didn't mean to say more, Chu Nanli naturally couldn't ask any more questions.

When Ye Jiuxiao came over, he also had other things to talk about.

"I have already thought about how to explain your whereabouts during this period, but it is still up to you to decide when you want to appear in front of others."

"Now that you've thought about it, just make arrangements directly. I don't have any objections."

Chu Nanli knew in her heart that the arrangement Ye Jiuxiao gave her was definitely the most suitable.

In fact, just as she guessed, Ye Jiuxiao had already arranged everything.

After getting Chu Nanli's permission, he directly asked people to release all the news that he had prepared long ago.

The news that Chu Nanli's house caught fire and that two bodies were found in the house had spread throughout the capital under Ye Yunting's careful calculation.
