Acai's Sky

Chapter 427: Strange Talk in the Market...

Yuchaofang City

The "True and False Seven Kings Case" sparked heated discussions among countless people in the Yu Dynasty. They were not only curious about the matter, but also shocked by the truth behind it.

This case does not only involve disputes within the royal family, but is also related to spies from the enemy country.

An unprecedented storm is quietly brewing, and this storm will sweep across the entire Yu Dynasty.

What is even more eye-catching is that Sima Xian, the true seventh king who has suffered since he was a baby, has become the focus of everyone's attention.

The people's daily gossip is no longer limited to trivial matters in the streets and alleys, but revolves around the "True and False Seven Kings Case" that has shocked the court and the country.

"No wonder these fake Seven Kings haven't been crowned yet, without even a title." An old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face sat on a bench, fanning himself and saying with emotion, "It's been a source of doubt for a long time!"

"That's right. You see, after the True Seventh Prince was found by Prince Rui, he was immediately named the Idle Prince." Another insider answered slowly.

He seemed to know more about the matter and spoke in a slow and measured tone.

"What a pity! I heard that he looks a lot like Prince Rui. People in the Sima family all look very fairy-like." One of them smacked his lips and said regretfully.

There was a hint of regret in his eyes, as if he had special expectations for this person who was considered to be the true Seven Kings.

"What's the pity? It's a pity that he didn't grow up in the imperial city. If he had received the Huang family's education, he would have become a great man in the future. Now he is just an 'idle prince'?"

At this time, a busybody came over, with a hint of ridicule in his voice.

He felt that Sima Xian missed a good growth environment and therefore lost the opportunity to become supreme.

"Have you heard that the real Seventh King is the 'Cat Immortal' we are talking about? It's a pity that we have never seen him." The person next to him knew more.

"That's right. It was because he was a cat seller that he attracted the attention of the little princess Sima Wanyue. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to find his way home..." The man said meaningfully.

"Hey, you say, how come all these good things happen to the little princess? She was just canonized as the adopted daughter of Prince Rui and became a princess. Not long after that, she made a new contribution and found the Seventh Prince, successfully ruining the plan of the fake Seventh Prince..." The old man who was playing chess said it casually.

"That's right, but without the little princess, who can find the real seven kings? It's God's will, and our Yu Dynasty is spared from disaster!" The old man who was playing chess also spoke freely.

"Yes, this little princess is really the lucky star of our Yu Dynasty."

"That's right, the little princess is not only beautiful, but also smart and clever. She is simply a fairy from heaven."

"I have seen the 'Cat Fairy' once. He was so handsome, but it's a pity that he was too ethereal. We are all mortals, and my daughter is not worthy of him." The old man who was watching the chess game also interjected.

"That's right, this cat fairy is truly a god-like figure. Ordinary people like us can only dream of him."

"It would be great if my daughter could marry someone like this."

"Don't dream. How could such a person fall in love with ordinary girls like us?"

Everyone was talking about it, full of curiosity and envy about the little princess and the cat fairy.

They felt that these two characters seemed to come from another world, which was completely different from their lives.

"By the way, I heard that the twins in the Yun Mansion are the fake Seventh Prince's. What the storyteller in the teahouse said is exactly consistent with this fake Seventh Prince!" He thought of it while looking at the chess pieces.

"Yes, yes, now that I think about it, it's really the case!" The people around echoed.

"What do you think? What if the Yun family is not the only one experiencing this situation?" An old man next to them made a bold guess.

"No way..." someone said hesitantly.

"Don't disbelieve it, it's really possible. Look at the fake Seventh King, he exudes a vulgar aura." said another person watching the chess game.

"Why didn't we think of it in the past? He wasn't from our Yu Dynasty. How could that guy with a short head and a dwarf figure be a member of the royal family?" said a bystander as if he suddenly realized something.

"That's right. Among all the princes and princesses of our Yu Dynasty, there is no one so short. I thought he was special!" another person interjected.

"The Japanese don't have any tall people, right? Considering their species, he's not short. The pirates the general killed a few years ago were supported by the Japanese!"

"Tsk, bastards, they support pirates to rob the people of our Yu Dynasty, they should be destroyed!" Everyone spat.

"Well, now's the chance. We have a ready-made excuse. We should just kill them. They don't deserve to live in this world."

...

At the wonton stall next to it.

Aunt Gu held Acai and ate wontons.

Acai ate very slowly, listening while she ate.

Fan Qin looked at Acai's little ears leaning towards the group of people playing chess, and she covered her mouth with her hands and shook her shoulders with laughter.

The lady selling wontons saw that Ah Cai was so engrossed in listening that she didn't even notice that the wontons had gotten cold, so she simply replaced them with a bowl of steaming hot ones.

The old lady lowered her voice and said, "You may not know, but ever since the fake Seven Kings were caught, those old men who play chess all day have been talking about the 'real and fake Seven Kings' every day. My ears are almost filled with it!"

Fan Qin smiled and asked, "They are so concerned about this case. Does everyone have accurate information?"

The wonton seller laughed and replied, "Our Yu Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous right now. Suddenly, such a major case has emerged, and one involving spies from an enemy country. How can this not attract our attention?"

Fan Qin nodded repeatedly, then waved to the little beggar A Ke and others to come to the wonton stall.

"Auntie, give each of them a big bowl of wontons and a sesame seed bun. Make sure the portions are big enough."

"Okay, I get it, I get it. These half-grown kids are at the stage of growing up..." The wonton lady quickly started wrapping the wontons and cooking them on the spot.

A Ke looked at Madam Fan standing there with a vigilant look on her face, her eyes sweeping around like a hawk, as if she was protecting someone.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the person this lady wanted to protect was nearby?

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly occurred to him. Since he already knew that Madam Fan was from the General's Mansion, could the person she was protecting now be the newly promoted little princess?

A Ke immediately looked around, trying to find clues.

Soon, he noticed a cute little girl sitting at the wonton stall.

She was sitting in the nanny's arms, eating wontons with relish and listening attentively to the gossip of people around her.

The girl looked no more than six or seven years old, but she was delicate and cute.

A Ke muttered to herself, "This must be Princess Yue."

So, he cautiously approached and asked Fan Qin in a low voice, "Madam Fan, is our mission over?"

Fan Qin nodded slightly in agreement, then replied softly, "Well, after you finish eating the wontons, I will send someone to take you to the camp outside the capital."

Hearing these words, A Ke's eyes became red with excitement, and her heart was filled with joy and gratitude.

Because from this moment on, they are no longer homeless beggars.

On the contrary, they are about to become soldiers and can enter the barracks and have their own identity and status.

This is undoubtedly a great happiness and change for them who once wandered the streets.
