Gu Jiao laughed, “That’s not actually an Immortal Technique, it’s science.”Xiao Hen was slightly taken aback, looking at her in confusion, “Science?”
Gu Jiao carefully chose her words and said, “The universe exists in multiple dimensions, each with its own space. There might be a car speeding past us right now, but because of the different space dimensions, we can’t see each other.”
Xiao Hen seemed to understand but also didn’t fully grasp it.
However, he had read the entire National Book of Yan Country and absorbed a lot of mathematical knowledge that didn’t originally belong to this time period. Compared to Gu Chengfeng, who couldn’t digest such information at all, his acceptance level was much higher.
“Can you tell me more?” His curiosity was overwhelming.
Gu Jiao said, “Of course, let me think, where should I start to explain it to you.”
The difference between them was not just their identities from two different time periods, but also their lifelong philosophical and scientific worldviews. Gu Jiao decided to start from the origin of the universe, the Big Bang.
She tried to avoid professional terms as much as possible and used a simple tone as if telling a story to a baby to describe a spectacular cosmic feast to him.
Even so, Xiao Hen still had many parts he couldn’t immediately understand, which he kept in mind secretly.
He wasn’t the kind of person who would deny something just because he had never seen it before. Compared to the rigid articles of the Imperial examination, the things Gu Jiao said piqued his strong interest.
“There are also people who do not quite agree with the Big Bang theory,” Gu Jiao said.
“What do you think?” Xiao Hen asked.
“It doesn’t matter to me, I’m not interested anyway,” Gu Jiao said.
Xiao Hen: “…”
If she can remember so much despite not being interested, if she were interested, wouldn’t she be out of this world?
Seeing him deep in thought, Gu Jiao said, “Let’s stop here for today, take your time to digest this, and I’ll tell you more another day.”
“Okay.” Xiao Hen nodded.
Gu Jiao said, “I should go see Gu Changqing. Ah, by the way, there’s something I’ve always been unclear about.”
Xiao Hen asked, “What is it?”
Gu Jiao paused and said, “Gu Changqing said that the Crown Prince… No, he’s not the Crown Prince anymore, Shangguan Qi already knows that I’m not the real Xiao Liulang. Why didn’t he expose me in front of the King?”
Xiao Hen also analyzed this doubt carefully and said, “Because exposing you would only prove that you are a bad person, it wouldn’t clear his name of regicide, which are two completely different matters. Even if he insisted you were a spy sent by Shangguan Yun, where’s the evidence? Without evidence, it would only be an unfounded accusation against Shangguan Yun.”
Gu Jiao suddenly understood, “I see.”
Xiao Hen continued, “Also, there’s a very important reason. You don’t have a powerful backing, having Hei Fengqi in your hands is more beneficial than in the hands of other families. It will be easier for him to take it back in the future.”
Gu Jiao made a sound of understanding, “So he is also using me. Shangguan Qi is more scheming than I imagined.”
Xiao Hen tidied a lock of hair that hung by her temples and looked at her gently yet firmly, “One day, he will understand that the ignored you are his most unshakable enemy.”
“Speaking of enemies,” Gu Jiao’s eyebrows furrowed, “There’s someone around the Crown Prince who can hurt Gu Changqing. Gu Changqing had never seen him before, which is very strange.”
Xiao Hen pondered for a moment, “It is indeed strange. If that person is so powerful, why didn’t they have him participate in this selection? He should be a more suitable candidate than Gu Changqing.”
Gu Jiao touched her chin, “I’ll find an opportunity to check out the situation at the Crown Prince’s residence.”
“I’ll go,” Xiao Hen said, “I’m the Imperial Eldest Grandson. When the King wakes up, I’ll find an excuse to go to the Crown Prince’s residence and see who exactly injured that person.”
–
The news of Shangguan Qi being stripped of his Crown Prince title reached the Imperial Palace that night.
Consort Han was in her room transcribing Buddhist Scriptures. Upon hearing this bad news, the brush in her hand fell onto the half-transcribed Buddhist Scriptures.
The entire paper of Buddhist Scriptures was instantly ruined.
Consort Han knelt on the mat, turned her head, and coldly looked at the little eunuch kneeling at the door, “Repeat what you just said! What happened to my Imperial son!”
The little eunuch pressed his forehead to the ground, trembling all over, “Reply, reply, reply to the young master, the Second Prince attempted to assassinate the King at the National Master Hall. The King, in great wrath, deposed…the Second Prince from his position as Crown Prince!”
Consort Han slowly crushed the Buddhist Scriptures in her hand into a paper ball, “Nonsense! How could the Crown Prince possibly attempt to assassinate His Majesty!”
