Chapter 1055

This was a life-threatening question.

Even if he knew the ending of the Qin Guo, he could not tell Seeing Ying Zheng the truth.

After organizing his words in his mind, Gao Yao said: "Your Majesty, how could the Qin Guo be destroyed? The Qin Guo will naturally last for ten thousand years and continue forever!"

If someone else had said this answer, it would have made Seeing Ying Zheng extremely satisfied, but this person was Gao Yao, the person from later generations mentioned by Su Xuan. Therefore, this answer was not what Seeing Ying Zheng wanted.

"Gao Yao, do you know the consequences of deceiving the Emperor?"

Seeing Ying Zheng's tone changed, becoming a bit cold.

"Your Majesty!"

Gao Yao's body crawled on the ground, and he could not help but tremble.

He never expected that answering that the Qin Guo would not be destroyed would cause Seeing Ying Zheng's dissatisfaction.

How was he supposed to answer this!

Should he say that the Qin Guo would definitely be destroyed? And it would be destroyed by his son?

Gao Yao did not dare to say such words at all!

Gao Yao could only hurriedly explain: "Your Majesty, how would Gao Yao dare to deceive the Emperor? Under Your Majesty's rule, how could the Qin Guo be destroyed?"

Seeing Ying Zheng snorted coldly. "You are quite good at talking." He added: "But you also said that the Qin Guo will not be destroyed under my rule. What if I die?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yao's expression changed again.

His history was not very good, but according to some historical knowledge that Yi Xiaochuan had crammed into him, he still knew some things.

For example, the emperor after Seeing Ying Zheng was called Hu Hai, and this person was also the last emperor of the Qin Guo.

In other words, after Seeing Ying Zheng died, the Qin Guo was destroyed in the hands of Hu Hai.

Although Gao Yao was also curious about how such a powerful Qin Guo could be destroyed in the second generation, history was like this, and he finally chose to believe it.

Seeing Ying Zheng noticed the changing expression on Gao Yao's face.

"Sure enough, you know that the Qin Guo will be destroyed after I die!"

"Your Majesty..." Hearing this, Gao Yao hurriedly spoke, preparing to explain again.

Seeing Ying Zheng interrupted him. "Are you curious why I found a cook like you to ask these questions? And why I know these things?"

Gao Yao lowered his head and fell silent.

He was indeed curious.

Just as Seeing Ying Zheng said, he was just a cook.

Was this a question he could be exposed to?

He was not qualified to be exposed to this level of questions at all.

Seeing Ying Zheng's tone suddenly became very strange, and his words fell into Gao Yao's ears like thunder.

"The reason for all this is because you are not a person of this era, but from later generations!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yao's body shook.

Being a traveler was his biggest secret.

He never expected that the Emperor would know about this.

One must know that the Emperor was an out-and-out ancient person.

Before this, he thought that no one in this era knew his background.

No, there was one other person who knew his background.

Yi Xiaochuan!

Gao Yao thought of Yi Xiaochuan immediately.

'Did Yi Xiaochuan betray me?'

'Damn it, this guy, I used to treat you as a brother, but you didn't do a single thing that was human...'

'It was one thing to treat Su Su like a scumbag, but now you even sold me out!'

Gao Yao's thoughts kept flashing in his heart, constantly accusing Yi Xiaochuan.

Before this, he had just recognized Lu Su as his sister, and he had no good feelings for Yi Xiaochuan to begin with. He had wanted to find Yi Xiaochuan to settle the score, but now that the Emperor had revealed his secret of being from later generations, he attributed this matter to Yi Xiaochuan as well.

Afterward, Gao Yao made up his mind about what the Emperor said.

He could not say it, absolutely could not say it!

He did not know if there was any such thing as slicing for research in this era, but if he admitted that he was from later generations, he was afraid he would be sliced by the Emperor.

Gao Yao's face suddenly showed confusion. "Your Majesty, how could I possibly be from later generations?"

"Stop pretending!"

Seeing Ying Zheng did not intend to act with Gao Yao. One sentence pierced through his disguise. "Since I have determined that you are from later generations, I will have a way to confirm it. If you don't want to admit it, I don't believe you won't open your mouth after some torture."

Gao Yao's expression changed drastically.

It was one thing to come to this era inexplicably, but he did not want to suffer again.

Especially the words "torture," which made him think of his encounter in the slave camp.

Back then, he suffered a lot there.

Now that he was valued by the Emperor and served as the Chief of the Imperial Kitchen, such days were something he had never thought of before. He did not want to give it up.

However, should he really say he was a traveler?

Suddenly, Gao Yao thought of a straw to clutch at.

He could not help but look at Su Xuan, who was by Seeing Ying Zheng's side.

He almost forgot that Mr. Su was still here.

No matter what, he and Mr. Su could be considered to have a deep friendship, so Mr. Su should help him speak... right?

Gao Yao was a bit uncertain, but he still looked at Su Xuan with hopeful eyes.

Su Xuan met Gao Yao's gaze and said indifferently: "I was the one who told the Emperor that you are a person from later generations!"

Gao Yao was stunned upon hearing this.

He had hidden his identity as a traveler very well; only he and Yi Xiaochuan knew about it. He even thought it was Yi Xiaochuan who sold him out, and he had even thought of the reason why he sold him out.

For example, Yi Xiaochuan wanted to be with Yushu, and Yushu was an Imperial Concubine, so he could only sell him out to perform a great service, so that he could exchange it for the Emperor's reward and have Yushu rewarded to him.

It seemed incredible, but if one thought about it carefully, it was still a little bit possible.

As a result, Gao Yao did not expect that the one who truly sold him out was Mr. Su.

How did Mr. Su know he was a traveler?

Su Xuan's tone suddenly became profound, containing a faint sense of detachment. "The world is full of wonders. I consider myself to have some ability, so I realized some heavenly secrets."

"A few years ago, I observed that the heavenly secrets were chaotic and stars were falling. After calculations, I discovered that two people from later generations had entered this time and space by mistake. Their existence is not a variable, but a fixed number."

"Therefore, I was very curious about them and started to look for their whereabouts."

"At first, I thought that person was Lu Su, so I saved her before she was about to die. After curing her, I realized that the true person from later generations was the person beside Lu Su. Lu Su only had some of your aura because she had been with you for a long time."

Su Xuan explained to Gao Yao the reason he had made up on the spot, and also gave a reason that Gao Yao could not refute. "Otherwise, why do you think I would find you? And save you from that place?"
