Chapter 99: The Past of the Great Zhou
Soon, Zhou Jinchun, the ninth princess of the Great Zhou royal family, who never showed up, was taken from the cold palace to Zhou Chaoyuan's bedroom.
When he arrived at Zhou Chaoyuan's bedroom, Zhou Jinchun didn't even dare to raise his head, walked to the dragon bed, bowed his head, and bowed, "See...... Ever seen...... Father ...... "look like he is sincerely afraid and submissive."
In fact, Zhou Jinchun's heart did not fluctuate, all her actions, all her expressions, were pretended, she had trained under her master countless times before.
Master told her that pretending to be weak and pitiful, Master is the best at it, as long as she listens to her guidance, there is absolutely no problem.
Although Zhou Jinchun didn't understand why the master was good at this, she believed what the master said.
If Zhou Jinchun still had a little thought about her father in her heart before, but now she has no more, and the master told her that being born without raising is no different from an animal.
Since this father has never raised her, she doesn't have to have any father-daughter affection for him, everything she wants to have in the future can be fought for with her own hands.
Ever since she met Master, she realized that the outside world was so big and magnificent, and she wanted to stand on a high place and see this beautiful and magnificent world.
On the bed, Zhou Chaoyuan was stunned the moment he saw Zhou Jinchun, he remembered that the child was thirteen...... It's still fourteen years old, why is it only such a small group?
Zhou Jinchun has not eaten a full meal at all because she has been exploited by that eunuch all the year round, and her physical development is seriously poor, although she has been asking Xiaobai to help her recuperate for a long time during this time, how can it be so easy to make up for the losses of more than ten years!
At this moment, Zhou Jin is wearing a princess dress, completely like a child who has stolen adult clothes.
"Lift ...... Lift ...... Come on, let me ...... I'll take a look at ......," Zhou Chaoyuan said word by word.
Zhou Jinchun slowly raised his head when he heard this, his palm-sized little face was full of panic, his eyes were pure like a clear spring, and he looked at Zhou Chaoyuan with attachment and admiration in his eyes.
I have to say that Zhou Jinchun did learn the essence of the pure little white flower from Changyue.
"Father...... Father. ”
Zhou Jin called the emperor in a pure period, with caution in his tone, revealing a strangeness, which made Zhou Chaoyuan's heart tremble.
The moment he saw Zhou Jinchun, he thought of the former queens, their eyebrows and eyes were so similar.
Zhou Chaoyuan thought that he and the queen should have been in love, but when he thought of the queen's identity, he was unsure, maybe the love back then was also mixed with calculations.
Speaking of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it must be said that the predecessor of the Great Zhou Dynasty must be mentioned.
About 3,000 years ago, there was a very powerful dynasty in the land of Zhongzhou - Great Qi.
The founding emperor of this dynasty is a generation of heroes who are rare in 10,000 years, and he can only stand out by himself to suppress all the sects and families in the entire Zhongzhou.
Zhongzhou is the center of the thirteen states, and the area alone is more than seven times larger than Yuzhou, the largest of the other twelve states, and there are countless large and small forces.
Being able to subdue the entire Zhongzhou on his own can show how powerful Emperor Taizu of Great Qi is, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the pride of the sky.
It is precisely because Emperor Taizu is too powerful and domineering that he offended too many people, and when Taizu died, the rivers of the Great Qi Dynasty were declining, so he was attacked by the entire Zhongzhou forces.
The mighty Great Qi Dynasty fell apart overnight.
But the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and finally the descendants of the Qi clan fled to Mianzhou under the escort of the general Zhou Yuren and the remnants of the Great Qi Dynasty.
But who knew that in the end, Zhou Yuren actually had the intention of rebellion, led his subordinates, and killed the descendants of the Qi family one by one, in a vain attempt to occupy the legacy of the Great Qi Dynasty.
It is unimaginable how powerful the Great Qi Dynasty in its heyday was and how rich it was to accumulate, and if it could get this legacy, it would not be impossible to establish a strong dynasty.
But the descendants of the Qi clan are not so easy to kill, Zhou Yuren did kill all the Qi clansmen, wiped out the Qi clan, and also got the rich legacy left by Taizu to the descendants of the Qi clan.
But he was cursed by the Qi clan, and although he had already cultivated to the innate realm, he had never even lived fifty.
To make matters worse, according to the clansmen who were killed by the Qi clan, when they were in Zhongzhou, the Great Qi royal family had already used the treasure of the dynasty to send a descendant of the Qi clan out of Zhongzhou.
In other words, the descendants of the Zhou family must always beware of the revenge of the descendants of the Qi family.
Later, with the help of the remnants of the Great Qi Dynasty, the Zhou clan really established the Great Zhou in Mianzhou.
A thousand years have passed in a blink of an eye, so long that the Zhou family has forgotten the existence of the descendants of the Qi family, but one day, someone suddenly told the whistleblower that the current queen and her brother General He Xiao are the descendants of the Qi family.
Zhou Chaoyuan, who had just ascended the throne at that time, had a first reaction of disbelief, the queen was a member of the He family, the daughter of General He, and the queen set for him by the former emperor himself, how could he be the descendant of the Qi family?
Besides, the queen has been married to him for many years, and there is no mistake in the posterior, and she is also very affectionate with him, and she also has a princess, how can she be a descendant of the Qi family?
Until Mrs. He came out to testify, he said that the queen He Long and the little general He Heng were not from her at all, but brought back from outside by General He, and they were not even from the He family.
As soon as Mrs. He's words came out, the entire Great Zhou was in an uproar.
Everyone did not doubt Mrs. He's words, because at that time, General He had died, and He Erlang had all died on the battlefield, and only two descendants of the queen He Long and the little general He Heng were left.
At that time, Zhou Chaoyuan still didn't believe Mrs. He's words, and he proposed to invite Zhou Tianjinlongyi, the national treasure of the Great Zhou, and let Zhou Tianjinlongyi calculate the results.
But what Zhou Chaoyuan didn't expect was that after he proposed this verification method, the queen actually took the initiative to stand up, recognized her identity as a descendant of the Qi family, and then committed suicide on the walls of the palace.
Before committing suicide, she denounced Zhou's untrustworthy, chaotic and rebellious wolf ambitions, which made Zhou's face lost.
Later, General He Xiao appeared and fought against many elders of the Zhou clan with his own strength, and took away the body of the queen at the cost of serious injuries.
Since then, Queen He Long and the ninth princess Zhou Jinchun born to her have become taboos in the palace.
Seeing that the emperor was still in a daze, Xuan Meiren told Zhou Jinchun that the emperor was poisoned and needed ten drops of blood from his loved ones to be cured.
"I wonder if the Ninth Princess is willing to sacrifice these ten drops of blood for Your Majesty?"
Zhou Jinchun kowtowed without hesitation when he heard this: "It is the honor of the sons to be able to detoxify their father, and the sons are willing." ”
Zhou Jinchun's loud voice finally pulled Zhou Chaoyuan's thoughts back.
"You...... Know...... Ten drops of blood...... It's going to kill you......" Zhou Chaoyuan asked as he propped up his arms and half-sat up.
"Erchen...... Erchen Zhi...... knows that as long as he can save his father, his son is not afraid of death. Zhou Jinchun said cowardly and firmly.
Zhou Chaoyuan didn't speak anymore when he heard this, he lay back on the bed with a grunt, and it took a long time before he spoke.
"With ...... Go down...... ...... the blood is taken, the rest are withdrawn...... Step aside. ”
"Yes, the retainers are retired!"
Hearing this, the rest of the princes and princesses breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then exited Zhou Chaoyuan's bedroom one by one in an orderly manner.
The little life was saved.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After the imperial doctors also responded, they took Zhou Jinchun down.
After Zhou Jinchun was taken out of the dormitory, Xuan Meiren saw Zhou Chaoyuan lying there motionless, looking at the bed tent with blank eyes.
After half an hour, Zhou Chaoyuan suddenly said to the eunuch beside him: "Go...... Go...... Look...... Nine Princesses ......"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eunuch answered and left quickly.
About a cup of tea, the eunuch came back, he bowed down to Zhou Chaoyuan and said: "The blood in the heart has been taken, the ninth princess has fainted, and the imperial doctor said that if you can't survive tonight, you will ......."
The eunuch didn't finish speaking, but the meaning Zhou Chaoyuan understood, and Xuan Meiren also understood.
"Good...... Good...... Take care of it, do your ...... Exert oneself...... Treatment. Zhou Chaoyuan said in a calm tone.
At this time, Xuan Meiren said: "Your Majesty, let the ninth princess go to the palace of the concubines, she is in danger now, and it is not good to send her back to the cold palace." ”
Zhou Chaoyuan stared at Xuan Meiren silently for a long time, and finally nodded with difficulty.
I'm afraid that no one in this harem wants to care about such a big trouble as the Ninth Princess, but she is bold.
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, and with Zhou Jinchun's hard work, the imperial doctors have successfully developed an antidote and let Zhou Chaoyuan take it, and now Zhou Chaoyuan's poison has been resolved, except for his face is slightly pale, the rest is fine.
It is rumored in the palace that the ninth princess is blessed with a great life, and she can survive after losing ten drops of blood, although she is still unconscious, but her life has been saved.
In the past few days, Zhou Chaoyuan has not seen Zhou Jinchun once, and he has not even asked, as if he doesn't remember such a person at all.
On this day, Zhou Chaoyuan was tired of dealing with the setbacks, so he recruited Xuan Meiren to accompany him.
He leaned back in his chair tiredly, and when he saw Xuan Meiren coming in, he beckoned to her, "Come, press me." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xuan Meiren blessed her body and said, then walked to Zhou Chaoyuan's side and gently rubbed his temples for him.
Halfway through, the voice of a little eunuch suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the girl next to Xuan Niangniang came, saying that she had something to report."
Zhou Chaoyuan was about to speak, when Xuan Meiren suddenly put her finger as white as jade to his lips, "Your Majesty, you have a good rest, and the concubine will go out and have a look." ”
Zhou Chaoyuan nodded.
Xuan Meiren only went out for a while, and when she came back, she looked like she wanted to talk and stopped.
Seeing this, Zhou Chaoyuan said: "If you have something, just say it, and you will do it very much." ”
Only then did Xuan Meiren whisper: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess is awake." ”
Zhou Chaoyuan was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't speak for a long time.
At this time, Xuan Meiren asked in a low voice, "I don't know what Your Majesty's plans are for the Ninth Princess?" Although the ninth princess ...... has a special identity, but in the end, he gave half his life to save you, and then sent her to the cold palace...... Fear...... Inappropriate. ”
In fact, Xuan Meiren knew that the ninth princess had nothing to do from beginning to end, she had eaten Tai Sui meat like herself, Tai Sui did not die, they did not die, let alone lost ten drops of heart blood, even twenty drops, then there would be no.
Tai Sui's flesh and blood is not only a miracle medicine, but also a curse and bondage.
Hearing this, Zhou Chaoyuan looked at Xuan Meiren and asked, "Then according to Concubine Ai's opinion, how to place the Ninth Princess." ”
Xuan Meiren pretended to ponder for a while before lowering her eyebrows and replying, "It's better to ...... Just leave the ninth princess in the palace of the concubines. ”
"Oh?" Zhou Chaoyuan raised his eyebrows, "How did Concubine Ai think of this?" As far as I know, the ninth princess is like a hot potato in the palace, and no one wants to be contaminated, so why do you love the concubine and catch up? ”
"Your Majesty, look at what you said!" Xuan Meiren shook Zhou Chaoyuan's arm in disgust, "They are them, the concubine is the concubine, the ninth princess saved Your Majesty, in the eyes of the concubine, it is the same as saving the concubine."
Besides......"
Speaking of this, Xuan Meiren looked aggrieved, "Your Majesty knows, the concubine was in the concubine earlier...... Ah, it's Concubine Lan...... 's body was injured in the palace, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to have an heir in this life.
There are also concubines from humble backgrounds, who have been criticized in this harem, but now they are just one more princess with a special status, what does it matter. ”
After listening to Xuan Meiren's words, Zhou Chaoyuan smiled, "Then follow what Concubine Ai said." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xuan Meiren threw herself into Zhou Chaoyuan's arms with a smile, her delicate body and the fragrance of temptation made Zhou Chaoyuan's heart flutter.
In the end, Zhou Chaoyuan couldn't stand the temptation of the beauty, and the two began to fight with goblins.
On the same day, everyone in the harem got the news that His Majesty recorded the ninth princess in the name of Xuan Meiren, and there was no need to return to the cold palace from now on.
Not long after this decree was issued, an old man with a white beard appeared in Zhou Chaoyuan's palace.
After Zhou Chaoyuan saw the old man, he asked with a smile, "How did my uncle have time to come here today?" ”
The old man stepped forward and saluted Zhou Chaoyuan, and then said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, do you really want to take that child out of the cold palace?" ”
Zhou Chaoyuan restrained his smile when he heard this, sighed deeply and said, "She saved my life in the end." ”
"But Your Majesty, don't forget whose blood she has on her body, and who her uncle is! When He Heng left, he said that he would definitely come back to pick up the child! The old man mentioned He Heng, and his tone was full of jealousy.
"I know ......" Zhou Chaoyuan pinched his eyebrows, "Could it be that we are a big Zhou, and we still have to be afraid of a He Heng?" ”
He sometimes thought that if only the boy hadn't made it, he wouldn't have to be in a dilemma, but she did.
"Don't forget, He Heng is holding the treasure of the Great Qi in his hand, the ancestor was injured by that thing back then, and his injuries have not been healed so far, he was only able to break through the innate realm back then, and now that so many years have passed, who knows how strong he has become." The old man continued.
"Maybe He Heng is dead outside?" Zhou Chaoyuan said, "When he left, he was also seriously injured. ”
"Your Majesty, do you believe this yourself?" The old man looked at Zhou Chaoyuan fixedly.
Of course he didn't believe it, Zhou Chaoyuan sighed and said, "I have made up my mind, and my uncle doesn't need to persuade me more." ”
"Then Your Majesty should do it for himself!" The old man flicked his sleeves and disappeared in front of Zhou Chaoyuan.
