Chapter 680: Night
Lin Zhongchao said: "Since she is the queen mother, she naturally has her skills, otherwise how can the palace three thousand be qualified to win in the competition?" Empress Dowager Lin hoped that the descendants of the Duke of Wu would fight a duel with the descendants of the first emperor, and Empress Dowager Lin hoped that the final victor would belong to the Duke of Wu. ”
"What? Why did Empress Dowager Lin do this? Zhou Zheng couldn't believe it.
Lin Zhongchao took a sip of tea, "Empress Dowager Lin knows the first emperor very well, when the first emperor was alive, she always disliked Empress Zhang, and Empress Dowager Lin should have had a premonition that the first emperor would harm Empress Zhang's son, so she persuaded Empress Zhang to replace her real son, let the powerful Wu Guogong Mansion raise her, and then tell the truth, so that Empress Zhang's descendants can snatch the throne back." ”
"What do you mean, so Empress Dowager Lin arranged for my mother to marry my father, just hoping that my mother can tell me the truth about my father, so that my father can compete for the throne?" Zhou Zhengzheng suddenly felt that everything was too terrible, "So, what about the emperor?" What about you? And what is the role? ”
Lin Zhongchao sighed, "In the eyes of the Empress Dowager Lin, my father and I are just tools for them to compete for power and profit, we are just being used, and when the real royal blood comes to ask for the throne, we will eventually withdraw." ”
Zhou Zhengzheng held Lin Zhongchao's hand, "Brother Chao, it won't be like this, my father won't compete with you for the throne." ”
"Your father won't, but what about Brother Yu Heng?" Lin Zhongchao smiled bitterly, "Yu Heng already knows the truth, will he quit like this?" That's the Ninety-Five! Who would give up willingly? ”
"My brother won't either." Zhou Zhengzheng said this, obviously his voice was low, and he had no confidence.
"Even if Yu Heng won't, then, what about Yu Heng's descendants? What about the descendants of posterity? After all, the bloodline can never be broken. Moreover, Yu Heng will not agree. "If you say yes, you won't be so hostile just now?
The wind blew in from the window, and the candle flame was clearly extinguished, Zhou Zhengzheng walked over, protecting the candle flame with both hands, as if he was carefully caring for her love and her relatives.
If Zhou Yuheng and Lin Zhongchao compete for the world, which one do you want her to help?
Lin Zhongchao and Zhou Yuheng are both bloody people, and they will definitely not quit this gamble easily.
For Zhou Yuheng, this is the position that belongs to him.
For Lin Zhongchao, the world is capable.
It's already in his own pocket, who will give it up?
However, it will hurt Zhou Zhengzheng's heart.
These two people, no matter which one is defeated in the end, Zhou Zhengzheng will be sad, and whoever is injured, Zhou Zhengzheng will be in pain.
And there can only be one winner.
"Brother Chao, I don't ask for anything, I just hope that no matter what the situation, you can be open to my relatives, and if you win, please spare their lives." Zhou Zhengzheng said, Ying Ying looked at Lin Zhongchao with tears in her eyes.
Lin Zhongchao hugged the delicate woman in front of him, "Ah Zheng, is it in your heart, I will attack them?" ”
Zhou Zhengzheng didn't say anything.
There is only one position for the Son of Heaven, and throughout the ages, how many siblings have killed each other, father and son, in order to win this position.
"I definitely won't. And they are also my relatives. You forgot? In my previous life, my father-in-law had a nurturing grace for me. Lin Zhongchao whispered in Zhou Zhengzheng's ear.
"Yes." Raising his bright eyes and staring at his beloved, Zhou Zhengzheng still smiled reluctantly.
"It's a nice moonlight tonight." Lin Zhongchao looked up at the bright moon in the sky, there were no clouds around the bright moon, and it looked extraordinarily bright.
Zhou Zhengzheng didn't look up, and he didn't seem to hear Lin Zhongchao's words.
Lin Zhongchao glanced sideways at Zhou Zhengzheng and saw that Zhou Zhengzheng's face was as calm as water, as cold as thin ice in winter.
"Zheng, do you say that the moon is cold, or your face is cold?" Lin Zhongchao said with a smile on his expression, but he wanted to deliberately tease Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zhengzheng also realized that he was a little rude at this time, but there was no one around, and there was still no smile on Zhou Zhengzheng's face.
It's just that when Lin Zhongchao spoke to himself, Zhou Zhengzheng would agree.
"Zheng, you are like this, I'm afraid Chang'e will be scared when she sees you." Lin Zhongchao leaned down and stared at Zhou Zhengzheng with both eyes.
At this time, Zhou Zhengzheng's face finally showed a smile.
"That's right." Lin Zhongchao's face finally showed a relaxed smile.
Suddenly, a gust of wind came out, obscuring the moon with a thin layer of clouds.
"Look, you laugh, even the moon is ashamed to hide herself." Lin Zhongchao continued to coax Zhou Zhengzheng, and the smile on his face never disappeared from beginning to end.
"Okay, I'm fine." Zhou Zhengzheng finally spoke, "Look at you tired, sit down and rest for a while." ”
It turned out that in order to make Zhou Zheng happier, Lin Zhongchao had been revolving around Zhou Zhengzheng all the time.
"If you're willing to speak, I'll sit down." Lin Zhongchao smiled and pinched Zhou Zheng's face.
The moonlight was getting higher and higher, and after staying in the garden for a while, Lin Zhongchao took Zhou Zheng's hand and returned to the room.
The red candles in the room flickered, and the figures of the two were cast on the curtains. -
At the mansion of Duke Wu, Zhou Jinxuan took the initiative to call Zhou Yuheng over, "You have been tired recently, there are so many affairs in the ministry, you can do it, I will take you out for a walk." ”
Zhou Yuheng looked at Zhou Jinxuan scrutinically, "Father, I still have something to say." ”
"If there's anything to say, wait until you cross the river." Zhou Jinxuan asked Zhou Yuheng to give him a horsewhip, "Dad gave you a new dark horse, the type is not big, but this style is simply a dragon and phoenix among horses." ”
"Thank you, Daddy." Zhou Yuheng finally became happy, sat up and clamped the horse with his buttocks, and the horse was obedient and waited there obediently.
On the hillside not far away, a few children were playing, running in the hands of the children in front, holding a slender long string, and at the other end of the thread was tied a paper kite, floating in the air, flying in the wind.
Zhou Jinxuan and Zhou Yuheng sat opposite each other on the grass.
The black horse was tethered to a pine tree and was grazing quietly.
"Daddy, what is the relationship between you and the first emperor? Can you tell me? Zhou Yuheng didn't talk nonsense, he got straight to the point and cut it off directly.
Zhou Jinxuan seems to have long understood the purpose of coming out this time, and he has to say it sooner or later. And the child already knows the truth, if he still chooses to hide it, then he will only want to cover it up.
It's better to tell him yourself, so that you can protect him a little.
"I have a father-son relationship with him, and I am the biological son of the first emperor." Zhou Yuheng said and pointed to the son in front of him, and laughed, "Yi, I didn't expect me to become his wanted criminal." ”
