Zhou Jinxuan hurriedly waved his hand, "No, it's impossible!" No way! You must be lying. ”

The Taoist priest stretched out his hand as thin as a stump, grasped the crutch, and walked tremblingly to the window, in front of which was a clear starry sky.

"At the beginning, Empress Zhang's mother had been infertile for many years, and in order to get pregnant, she reported a child of the Bai family as her son, but claimed to give birth to a baby boy prematurely, and this baby boy is the current emperor Lin Ran. A few years later, I really got pregnant and gave birth to my own flesh and blood, and this biological flesh and blood is you Zhou Jinxuan. If you don't believe it, you can ask the descendants of the Bai family today. Since the Bai family sent the prince to the palace, they retreated to the river to keep secrets and made a living in business. Over the years, the business has also been infrequent, but it has been very rich, the reason is very simple, because Queen Zhang handed over all her belongings to the Bai family. ”

Zhou Jinxuan almost couldn't stand, "As far as I know, Mrs. Bai only gave birth to a sister-in-law back then, but she died young, and the Bai family later relied on Miss Bai to recruit and work together to have today's Bai family." ”

The Taoist priest said, "That sister-in-law did not die early at all, but was brought into the palace by Zhang Xiaoman, and it is the current emperor Lin Ran." And the original Miss Bai family, that is, Lin Ran's sister, also knew about this. After Mrs. Bai died, I am afraid that the only person who knew the inside story of the year was Bai Cuizhi, the original Miss Bai of the Bai family. ”

Zhou Jinxuan looked at the Taoist priest's hunched back, "But don't you hear these things?" How do you know if it's true or not? ”

"No, I didn't hear that. I want to ask why I know so much, because I was the one who helped bring the baby into the palace back then. The Taoist priest suddenly turned around, half of his face was bright yellow in the moonlight, and half was dark and terrifying. The night breeze rustled a wide robe.

Zhou Jinxuan was dumbfounded.

The Taoist priest smiled bitterly: "Don't ask me why I did that, Empress Zhang is smart and beautiful, she is really a celestial, even the old man can't refuse her request when he sees her." Back then, she had no relationship with Emperor Qingfeng, and when she saw that the emperor favored the palace maid, but she couldn't give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor, she was naturally very anxious. Then, she asked someone to find the old man in the people, hoping that the old man would help her. Just as the wife of the Bai family was about to give birth, the Bai family's business failed at that time, and the debts were high, and they were in urgent need of silver. So, Zhang Xiaoman discussed with the boss of the Bai family, Zhang Xiaoman took out all his belongings, and the boss of the Bai family gave his soon-to-be-born heir to Queen Zhang to raise in the palace. Empress Zhang has always had irregular menstrual affairs, so if she took a pillow and put it on her stomach, Emperor Qingfeng believed that Lin Ran was the prince. ”

The Taoist priest actually knew that Zhang Xiaoman and Emperor Qingfeng had no relationship, which shows that what he said is indeed true.

Zhang Xiaoming did tell the Taoist priest everything in his heart. Then it is not surprising that the Taoist priest was asked to help send the child into the palace.

It turns out that this is the truth.

Zhou Jinxuan sat on the ground in a daze. And Lin Zhongchao, who was outside the window, heard everything, and only felt that a boulder in his chest was pressing down and he couldn't breathe.

How so?

How can the truth be so cruel?

It turns out that he is not of royal blood, not even his father Lin Ran.

It turns out that they have always been the stuff of Zhou Jinxuan's family in Bashan.

It turned out that he was wrong, and his struggle in this life was destined to be an empty silence.

The woods were dark in the moonlight, and the occasional bright spot suddenly disappeared with the blowing of a gust of wind. In the treetops, the sound of bustling and gargling was intermittent, and I didn't know what kind of bird or other sound it was.

"Who?" Zhou Jinxuan found something and hurriedly jumped out of the window.

Lin Zhongchao retreated under the banana tree, but Zhou Jinxuan had already seen it.

Lin Zhongchao's heart was very confused, and he was about to leave. Zhou Jinxuan caught up.

"Prince! Wait a minute! Zhou Jinxuan stopped in front of Lin Zhongchao.

"I hear it all." Lin Zhongchao stopped, his eyes wandered, and he looked at the sky.

The stars are so bright, but the faintly white light in the eastern sky means that no matter how bright the stars are, they will soon fall, land below the horizon, and return the sky to the sun.

Because, the sky is originally the sun.

"Prince, Zhou will never compete with the emperor and the prince for the throne. Even if the truth is like this, Zhou has no intention of taking the throne. Zhou Jinxuan said, "Don't worry about anything, what Zhou heard today will be forgotten before dawn." ”

Lin Zhongchao shook his head, "Wu Guogong, you misunderstood, I won't grab what should belong to you." ”

"No, the prince must not take matters into his own hands. In fact, now that the overall situation has been decided, let this truth be buried in the wilderness. Zhou should have never known. Zhou Jinxuan said, "I hope the prince will cherish Zhou's contribution and stop refusing." ”

"But, Wu Guogong, you are the real emperor." Lin Zhongchao said, "The truth will be revealed one day." ”

"No, it won't. The Taoist priest is old, and after the Taoist priest is a hundred years old, no one in this world will know this secret. Everything will continue to live in peace as before. Zhou Jinxuan is obviously unwilling to be the emperor.

At least, as long as Lin Ran and Lin Zhongchao are the emperors, Zhou Jinxuan will not rob them.

Lin Zhongchao said: "But if the truth is not announced, Ah Zheng has always thought that I am a brother and sister with her." ”

"Don't worry about this, who Ah Zheng likes in his heart, I, as a father, know very well. For the sake of her happiness, I will persuade her to marry you. The prince should go back and prepare for the dowry! Zhou Jinxuan smiled.

Lin Zhong was overjoyed, "There is labor." ”

Wu Guogong Mansion.

Soon, the news that Zhou Xi was accepted as a disciple by Master Jian Yi spread.

Immediately afterwards, many people came to congratulate them, and some people who like to paint also came here, hoping to get some tips from Zhou Xi on how to be accepted as an apprentice by Master Jian Yi.

It's just that Zhou Xi, who is not good at words, disappointed these people. It turns out that Zhou Xi is a fool!

However, people are also amazed that the children of the capital are not as good as a fool in painting, which shows how successful the education of the Wu Guogong Mansion is.

According to Master Jian Yi's request, Zhou Xi wanted to follow him to study in isolation for half a year.

This is somewhat unaccustomed to Zhou Xi, who has always been taken care of by others.

Yu'er also felt that it was a little inappropriate to let Zhou Xi live alone, so Lin Yu deliberately went to discuss with Master Jian Yi whether he could bring some more servants over. Got a positive answer.

Since he fell in love with painting, Zhou Xi's physical condition is much better than before, if he goes to study and live for half a year, he will definitely be able to improve Zhou Xi's painting skills to a higher level, and his life ability will also be of great help.
