Qin Ze narrowed his eyes, and his thoughts returned to that rainy night of lightning and thunder four years ago.

He was eleven years old at the time, and he was in high spirits.

As the crown prince of the Great Qi Kingdom, he has been gifted and talented since he was a child, and he has won the favor of the saints.

At the age of three, he began to be enlightened, and at the age of eleven, he was already full of arguments and became the first prince to go to the court to observe.

On the first day of March in Yangchun, his father appointed an errand and asked him to go down to Yangzhou City to handle it.

He was the first of the princes to be appointed by his father to do an errand, and he still remembers that before going out, the emperor's brothers were full of congratulations and reluctance.

When I arrived on the outskirts of Yangzhou, I encountered an unknown person chasing me.

On that day, the road was slippery in the rainstorm, and he led his guards to walk and fight until it was dark and hid in a ruined temple.

At that time, there were only five members of the ten-man personal guard left, including him.

At the time of the decisive battle, a young man with a small servant, the two joined the battle group.

The two are not very old, but their martial arts are outstanding, and they fought for half an hour, and finally annihilated all the chasing people.

He still remembered the bright eyes in his blurred face when the lightning flashed and thundered.

He remembered his mocking remarks.

At that time, Anshun and the other three guards were closely guarding his side, staring at the two men defensively.

Even if they were out of trouble, the people did not dare to be careless.

The young man laughed: "Isn't it the son of a big family?" Afraid that we will have bad intentions? ”

"Anshun," he said for a moment, "step aside." ”

An Shun and the others did not dare to retreat lightly, and the young man waved his hand and sat on the ground without much mind.

Outside, the rain was pouring down, and the temple was silent.

Thinking of the five guards who died tragically, he couldn't help but redden.

These nine guards were selected for him by his father, and they have grown up with him since he was five years old, and they are like brothers.

"People can't be resurrected after death, and good men don't flick their tears."

The young man's voice was like cool rain, soaking into his ears.

He wiped his eyes wildly and whispered, "What do you know?" ”

"How hard is that?" The young man scoffed, "Those squires lost their lives for you, but they have been with you since childhood? ”

Qin Ze was stunned: "How do you know?" ”

The young man laughed again: "Just guess and you'll know." ”

"Then you know who is chasing Ben...... Mine? Qin Ze asked and felt that he was too stupid, this young man didn't even know who he was, how could he answer his question.

"This assassination organization is called Yan," the young man said, "In the rivers and lakes, not everyone can ask the whole organization to hunt down and kill, I guess you must be of noble birth." ”

"You're so young, most likely you won't have an external enemy," the young man tilted his head, as if thinking, "A famous family, isn't it a brother's wall?" ”

"Brother?" Qin Ze shook his head, "Impossible, why did they put me to death?" ”

The young man glanced at him, "Why?" For money, for power, to get in their way for your existence? ”

"Presumptuous!" Anshun couldn't listen to it and scolded.

The young man tugged at his lips, smiling rather than smiling, and never said a word again.

When the rain stopped and it was still dark, the young man left with his servant.

Leaving Qin Ze deep in thought.

Although he is the crown prince, the queen mother's foreign family does not collude with party friends because of his nobility and honesty, and his power in the court is very weak.

He didn't care about this, and the dictatorship of his relatives was not a good thing, so he thought that there was nothing wrong with the weakness of the maternal family.

He not only has the orthodox status of the crown prince, but also is good enough to be the head of all the brothers.

Even if there is a competition between princes, it is only after adulthood.

However, after this fight, he suddenly realized that he was afraid that he was thinking too simply.

He is kind to his brothers, but his brothers may not be sincere to him.

The Zhenguo Mansion behind the second emperor's younger brother has a huge influence in the court and is intricate.

The second emperor's brother's mother, Concubine Hui Guifei, won the favor of the saint and was in charge of half of the harem affairs.

The foreign forces behind the other royal brothers should not be underestimated.

It's because his idea is too simple, thinking that his father loves him, and everything will fall into place.

He even ignored the mother's often whispering dissuasion, thinking that the queen mother was too worried.

Now that I think about it, he was stupid.

The mother's exhausted eyes swirled in her mind.

Perhaps, the queen mother is right.

Even if he is a genius, he can't really convince the royal brothers who are the same age and have a strong background.

That night, he stayed up all night, listening to the sound of rain outside the ruined temple, watching the sky from pitch dark to gradually brightening, and made up his mind.

After returning to the capital, especially after seeing a few imperial brothers who looked frightened and happy for him when they saw him, he began to change.

He is obscure, and he has become ordinary in front of people.

And as they get older, several royal brothers become more and more outstanding, each showing their own magical powers.

An Shun's voice interrupted his thoughts: "Master, the Shen Mansion has arrived. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Shen took Fu Yuanyuan to the Shen Mansion in a carriage.

Fu Pingyuan served as the prefect of Yangzhou and lived in the prefect's residence in the north of the city.

And the Shen Mansion is in the east of the city, and it is about a quarter of an hour's drive from the Fu Mansion, which is not far.

"Mother," Fu Yuanyuan leaned on the back of his chair and sighed, "Let's move our family back to the capital, my great-grandfather will definitely be very lonely." ”

After more than six years, her parents, maternal great-grandfather, and uncle have treated her very well.

She had long regarded them as the closest people.

The Shen Mansion has been passed down for generations and has accumulated countless wealth.

But it has always been thin.

Now the owner of the Shen Mansion, in addition to his maternal great-grandfather Shen Wanshan, is left with only his uncle Shen Cong and her mother-in-law Shen.

Her maternal grandparents and grandmothers have both died.

Uncle Shen Cong is 27 years old this year, and he has traveled north and south to do business in the Shen Mansion, and has never married.

Shen sighed, why didn't she think of this?

It's just that she is married to her husband, and she has no talent for taking care of business, and she doesn't know how to pass on family secrets, thinking that the most useless person is really her.

Turning his gaze on Fu Yuanyuan, Shen's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Although she is not talented, she has at least cultivated a powerful daughter!

The Shen Mansion can be passed down for several generations, in addition to the business secrets accumulated by the ancestors, there is also a set of family martial arts secrets.

And Fu Yuanyuan's roots are wonderful, he has been practicing martial arts with his maternal great-grandfather since he was three years old, and his kung fu is even more sophisticated than Shen Cong.

In terms of business, since the age of eight, Fu Yuanyuan has followed his maternal great-grandfather or Shen Cong to travel all over the world, and he has integrated the secrets of Shen's business.

There is a woman like this, worthy of her rebirth and careful cultivation!

And in this life when she is reborn, as long as she lives well with her husband and protects her daughter, there is ......

Her gaze suddenly became deep and complicated, as if some dull pain had suddenly struck her heart.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Shen came back to his senses and pinched his daughter's face: "Your maternal great-grandfather is very busy on weekdays, and without you being a splash on the side, it is very idle!" ”
