Chapter 199

King of Chu was about to be assassinated by the Crown Prince of Chu, and would die within half a year.

Xiao Yunzhou never imagined he would hear such explosive news from his daughter's mouth.

When Xiao Yunzhou arrived at the waterside pavilion and saw the King of Chu standing with his hands behind his back, his hair gray but his posture still straight, he couldn't help but be distracted.

Who could have imagined that a great hero of his generation would die at the hands of his own son?

Xiao Yunzhou felt no schadenfreude, only a sigh.

"Xiao Yunzhou, I didn't expect to see you again after just one night," the King of Chu turned around upon hearing footsteps behind him.

But when he saw the palace servant holding a swaddled infant behind Xiao Yunzhou, the corner of his mouth twitched.

The spies hadn't concealed it from him - this coward Xiao Yunzhou, when not cultivating the Dao, was all about romance and children, spoiling his not-yet-one-year-old little princess to high heaven!

The King of Chu now seriously doubted whether Xiao Yunzhou was normal.

"Is this the little princess you got last year?" The King of Chu took a closer look at Xiao Chuchu in the swaddling clothes, noting that she indeed had red lips and white teeth, and would surely grow up to be a stunning beauty.

But the King of Chu, considering the presence of experts in Jing Country, couldn't help but advise Xiao Yunzhou, "She's just a small child, is it necessary to carry her around everywhere?"

In his early years, when his first child Yun Wu was born, the King of Chu had also been extremely doting, because she was the child he had longed for ten years, and held special meaning.

Moreover, he didn't have a crown prince at that time.

Although now when the King of Chu thought of his good-for-nothing Crown Prince, he was at a loss for words, he still believed in his heart that males were superior to females.

"No matter how much you dote on her, you can't make her the crown prince, can you? Throughout history, those who inherit the throne have always been male," the King of Chu sighed lightly.

Xiao Yunzhou's gaze flickered.

In the swaddling clothes, Xiao Chuchu's little face was complex, and she couldn't help but mock inwardly, [How true that I laugh at the world's lack of insight.]

[What's the real difference between men and women? Isn't it just a difference in physiological structure? Why can't women be emperors?]

[Ah, for others who favor sons over daughters, they might just end up miserable in their old age with no one to care for them.]

[King of Chu, you're going to die an unclear death.]

[In the novel, on the third day of your return journey from Zhou Country, you're done in by your son, the Crown Prince.]

[You return to the palace with an arrow wound, disoriented, and the Crown Prince puts on a show of filial piety, attending to you day and night by your bedside, giving you medicine.]

[But in reality, he's replaced all your medicine with slow-acting poison! Not only does your wound not heal, but you become even weaker!]

[He's completely destroyed the iron constitution you had in your youth when you could fight for three days without sleep.]

[How tragic, King of Chu! That's what you get for favoring sons over daughters!]

Xiao Yunzhou's eyebrows trembled violently as he listened, and even his expression when looking at the King of Chu carried a hint of sympathy he couldn't suppress.
