I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 52: Go to rescue people with the princess.

All her behavior seemed like an actor intentionally offering her head.

Upon hearing Xiao Jin's words, Jue Ge seemed to recall something and her expression became somewhat strange.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Jin knew that Jue Ge must have something to say.

So she picked up the box of Chunshan Kong on the table, her fingers caressing the dark pattern on the lid without speaking.

She didn't urge Jue Ge, but chose to give her time to react and think.

Jue Ge looked at Xiao Jin's pale, slender fingers stroking the purple sandalwood box, feeling that the cold color was a bit dazzling.

She lowered her head slightly and respectfully said to Xiao Jin, "Your subordinate remembers that before your highness went on an expedition, she secretly investigated a person."

Xiao Jin paused her actions and asked, "Who?"

Jue Ge replied, "Princess Nine of the Yao Country, Chu Shao."

......

The atmosphere froze for a long time.

Xiao Jin remained silent for a while before asking in a slow voice, "Why did I investigate Chu Shao?"

Jue Ge answered, "Your subordinate doesn't know."

"......"

Xiao Jin fell into silence again.

She really couldn't understand what the original owner was doing.

She didn't know what the original owner knew, and why a prince of the Qi Country who only loved fighting would investigate the princess of the Yao Country.

So Xiao Jin changed the subject, "Jue Ge, what did you find out?"

Although it was a long time ago, Jue Ge had a good memory and fluently replied, "Chu Shao, the ninth daughter of the Emperor of Yao, her mother was Lady Mei. After Lady Mei died, she was raised by the Empress for a year. When the National Teacher returned to the court, she took her in and raised her."

The first chapter of the original work began with the female lead marrying the second male lead. As for Chu Shao's background, it was only briefly mentioned.

However, according to the information that Jue Ge had investigated, Chu Shao's character collapse might be related to the National Teacher and the Empress of Yao.

Xiao Jin was listening attentively, but Jue Ge stopped talking and seemed to have nothing more to say.

She was a bit puzzled and asked, "Is that all the information you found?"

After pondering for a moment, Jue Ge said somewhat hesitantly, "At the time, your subordinate originally wanted to report all the information that was found, but after you only asked if Chu Shao was really the number one beauty of Yao Country, and received the answer, you didn't ask again."

"Your subordinate thought that you didn't care, so she didn't deliberately remember the second half of the information. The intelligence organization of the Prince's Mansion is mainly distributed in the Yan region, and collects a lot of information and secrets every day. As for this kind of... this kind of unimportant old information, it's probably impossible to find now."

Xiao Jin asked, "So you mean, I investigated Chu Shao just to confirm whether she deserved her reputation as the number one beauty?"

Jue Ge didn't expect Xiao Jin to directly point out this, so she coughed and made up an excuse, "Perhaps Your highness didn't have such intentions, she was just idle and wanted to investigate Chu Shao..."
