Zhou Chengkuan looked at Lin Wan carefully, slowly calmed down the anger in his chest, his eyes were full of inquiry, and he asked coldly, "Are you?"

Lin Wan smiled slightly and explained: "I am Zhao Zhengxiang's granddaughter, Concubine Yu is my cousin, and I am Lin Wan'er." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Zhou Chengkuan frowned and looked at the smiling woman in front of him. The girl has coarse black skin and a slender figure, seemingly inconspicuous, but her flaws are not concealed, and her temperament is natural. Obviously, it's not the kind of person who relies on the master's color to open a dyeing room, the so-called close-fitting ring. Thinking back to his gaffe just now, he couldn't help but blame himself a little, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "What do you want to say?"

Lin Wan's clear gaze looked at Zhou Chengkuan calmly, and said sincerely: "First of all, I hope you can believe that we have no malicious intent. After a pause, he said: "The matter of the Seventh Prince sending the two princes of Dongli back to China on the emperor's order has been announced to the world, and I believe you know." ”

Zhou Chengkuan nodded lightly and motioned for Lin Wan to continue.

Lin Wan smiled and continued: "But I came with me secretly, so I can only pretend to be the maid of the Seventh Prince." The emperor didn't ask the Seven Princes to do anything, but we did have other purposes for going to Dongli, we need your help, and we can help you, I believe our goal is the same. But to get it done, we have to trust each other. ”

Zhou Chengkuan sneered and said, "You just want to get the throne, and I don't want anything." ”

Lin Wan smiled slightly, didn't mind his taunt, and continued: "We all want to protect the people we want to protect, so we must first allow ourselves to have this ability. ”

Zhou Chengkuan's heart ached, he couldn't help but think of his father who was imprisoned to death and his mother who was martyred, remembered the helplessness and grief and indignation at the beginning, the hatred in his heart was even more intense, his eyes were round, his eyes shot at Zhou Tianqi like a knife, and he said viciously: "How do you want me to believe you? You are the son of my father's enemy!"

Zhou Tianqi couldn't answer his question, just watched him quietly, accepting his hatred and anger.

Lin Wan sighed lightly and persuaded in a low voice: "No one can choose their own birth, if you can, you don't want to be born in the emperor's family, right? The grievances of the previous generation should not involve you, and if you want to talk about resentment, the apocalypse is no less than you. ”

A trace of pain flashed in Zhou Tianqi's eyes, and then he regained his composure.

Zhou Chengkuan looked at Zhou Tianqi's similar face, looked at the similar pain in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a kind of sympathy in his heart. The fierceness in his eyes faded, and he couldn't help but think of the lonely and stubborn little boy who was bullied and silent.

At that time, he followed Zhou Tianhong as a companion, followed Zhou Tianhong to the queen's palace every day after school, and then returned to his residence alone. Once, while passing through the woods of the harem, he saw a little boy less than five years old being bullied by Zhou Tianming, who was slightly older than him, and the little eunuch.

That little boy was Zhou Tianqi, he ran out to find his father alone, but before he got out of the harem, he was stopped by Zhou Tianming, and after a burst of ridicule, he pushed him to the ground.

And after Zhou Tianming left, another eunuch sneakily came to trick Zhou Tianqi into the depths of the woods. Although Zhou Tianqi was young at the time, he was very smart, and he only felt wrong after only taking two steps with him, and ran back desperately, but the eunuch suddenly attacked, covered his mouth, and hugged him.

Zhou Tiancheng's identity is embarrassing, and he doesn't want to cause trouble, but he doesn't want to see a poor child being killed like this without knowing it, looking at his dress and appearance, he must be a little prince.

Zhou Tiancheng was only eight or nine years old at the time, and he didn't dare to step forward, so he hid behind a tree and shouted in the voice of a eunuch, "The emperor has arrived!"

Seeing that the eunuch was a little panicked, Zhou Tianchengcai ran out again and shouted, "Bold minion, what are you doing? Let him go!"

The eunuch heard that the emperor was coming, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and then he was shouted by Zhou Tiancheng, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly threw Zhou Tianqi away and fled.

Zhou Tiancheng helped Zhou Tianqi up, and saw that his eyes were full of tears of grievance, but he stubbornly didn't cry, looking at the eyebrows and eyes that were six or seven points similar to himself, and couldn't help but sprout an indescribable family affection.

After holding Zhou Tianqi's little hand and leading him to the road, Zhou Tiancheng wanted to turn around and leave. But Zhou Tianqi pulled Zhou Tiancheng's sleeve and didn't let him go.

Zhou Tiancheng asked helplessly: "Which palace are you from? What is your name? I'll send you back." ”

Zhou Tianqi laughed happily and said, "I am Xiao Qi, and I am from Concubine Chen's palace." ”

Zhou Tiancheng frowned, he knew that Concubine Chen's palace was not allowed to enter and exit casually, and he was a little embarrassed. But he remembered that the beautiful Concubine Chen once went to the Wu Wangfu to see his mother when his mother was sick, and he liked the beautiful Aunt Xue very much.

He sent Zhou Tianqi back to Concubine Chen's Palace and saw the pale and haggard, but still beautiful and kind Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue took his hand and asked him a lot about his current situation, and shed tears sadly. Aunt Xue said: "Tiancheng, you are a good boy, your mother will be proud of you." When you grow up, become a family, and establish a house, you can ask the emperor to allow you to take your father and mother back. ”

Since then, he has had such a hope in his heart, studying harder, being more obedient and sensible.

But later, before he could grow up, his father died in prison, and his mother did not stay in this cruel and cruel world for a long time, but went with his father.

Later, when Uncle Zhong quietly came to the palace to take him away, he was discovered by the queen's people, and it was the Jade Concubine Niangniang who hid them in the Yulin Palace, and only three days later did he find an opportunity to send them out of the palace.

All this is something he has not wanted to think about for many years, but at this moment, he remembers it vividly.

However, the reason why Lin Wan was able to guess Zhou Chengkuan's identity was because more than a month ago, Lin Wan and Zhou Tianqi were injured by Feng Qianqi, and Zhou Tianqi accompanied Lin Wan's bedside and told a lot about him when he was a child. Zhou Tianqi mentioned a cousin that he would never forget, that is, Zhou Tiancheng, the son of King Wu who had saved him.

After Zhou Changan ascended the throne, he was polite to King Wu on the surface, but behind the scenes, he made things difficult in every way. A few years later, Prime Minister Liu finally found an opportunity and accused Wu Wangan of rebellion. Several important ministers led by Zhao Zhengxiang tried their best to admonish the people of the city and knelt at the gate of the palace for three days before saving King Wu's life.

Later, King Wu and Princess Wu were sent to prison, and their only son, who was less than seven years old, was taken to the palace and kept alone in a remote courtyard in the palace, with only a few eunuchs and palace maids around to serve, and the difficulties of life can be seen.

Two years later, King Wu died violently, Princess Wu was martyred, and King Wu's son died of illness. (To be continued.) )
