The inner courtyard of the Zhao Mansion shrouded in night fell into a deathly silence.

Tong Guan, who was full of evil, finally died in his own hands, and he ended everything with the five sharp embroidery needles between his fingers.

Watching his strong body slowly fall, the boulder that had been pressing on Zhao Bufan's heart for many years finally completely dissipated, and he felt more relaxed than ever.

He gradually raised his head!

Gaze at the round moon in the sky!

The figure of the master looms.

Dressed in a green robe, standing with his hands in his hands!

A shiny white hair, flying in the wind!

He is still standing quietly on the boulder on the top of the mountain as he did back then, looking into the distance, looking at the splendid rivers and mountains!

He is still as lonely as he was back then, staring at the vicissitudes of life, silently looking for his beloved wife and children in the clouds and mist in the mountains!

The hazy moonlight made Zhao Bufan's eyes gradually blur.

The master seemed to turn around and smiled kindly.

The sound of the past seems to linger in my ears.

......

"Master, you let me sleep for a while, just for a while!"

"If you die, you can sleep until you are old!

......

"Master, why should I live for others, I want to live for myself!"

"If I think so, why should I raise you?"

......

"Master, let me take a break, I really can't stand it, it hurts too much!"

"Dislocate your left hand for the teacher to accompany you to continue practicing, you can insist on it for the teacher, and you can also insist on it!"

......

"Master, why do you want to be a hero? Isn't it good to be a thief?"

"Of course you can! There are some life-imprisoned villains on Salmon Island who like the habit of dragon yang, so I'll give you to them as a teacher!"

"Master, I mean I'm a thief, not a victim!"

"If you don't get tortured first, if you don't taste the pain, how do you know how to be a qualified bad person, and how can you torture people later?"

......

"Extraordinary, do you like to eat this crispy cake?"

"Uh-huh!

"Hmm...... You should stay at home for a few days, go to Suzhou for the teacher, and rush back as soon as possible!"

"Why did the master go to Suzhou?"

"Because Suzhou's crispy cake is the most delicious, I will get you some for you to taste!"

......

"Extraordinary, why are you listless?"

"I seem to be sick, and I feel sick all over!"

"It's so hot, hurry, I'll carry you to Tokyo to find a doctor!"

"Forget it, it's a hundred miles away from Tokyo, so I'll just apply cold water. ”

"What's that, come on!"

......

"Master, if I want the stars in the sky, will you pick them for me?"

"If you can pick it up as a teacher, I will definitely pick it for you!"

......

"Master, if I have a heavenly success, I will give you whatever you want!"

"I want you to tell me at my grave!"

............

Scene after scene, too many pasts come to mind.

He learned martial arts from the master!

He followed the master master to learn the art of war, battle formation, poetry and songs!

He learned how to be a man who really stands up to the sky and the earth from the master!

"Master, I've avenged you!"

A line of tears slid down Zhao Bufan's cheeks, and his deep voice was like a murmur in the wind.

No one can understand how complicated his heart is at the moment, and no one can understand the emotions in his heart at this moment.

Choked silently for a long time, he could no longer suppress the surging tears, and shouted wildly in the sky: "Master, apprentice Zhao Bufan has avenged you!!"

At this moment, no one spoke.

The guards present all watched silently, silently looking at this young man who was now a high-ranking power.

After a long time, Empress Zheng walked over gently and looked at him gently.

"Extraordinary, is your master really that person?"

After venting, Zhao Bufan's heart was also a lot more relaxed, and in the face of the queen's inquiry, he took a deep breath and nodded slowly: "Exactly!"

"Then are you Tatar?"

Empress Zheng's voice trembled a little, she finally couldn't help it, although she knew that the result of the question might not be believable, but she still made this question public.

Although there has been another person suspected of Zhao Ta recently, which made her suspicious of Zhu Bocai's words earlier, and made her have a lot of doubts in her heart, but from the bottom of her heart, she always felt that Zhao Bufan was her emperor.

If it weren't for this reason, she wouldn't have secretly asked Zeng Kun to investigate, she wouldn't have secretly made so many deployments in secret, and she wouldn't have rushed to Zhao Mansion with dozens of Praetorian Guard masters after learning that Tong Guan had escaped.

Now that she is publicizing this question in front of everyone, it is almost equivalent to disclosing the long-brewing battle between the true and false princes.

In an instant, the Praetorian guards present were all stunned.

Zhi Yuezhi and Hu Sanniang were also stunned.

"Emperor, Emperor, Emperor...... Prince?"

The straight-talking Orizuki Zhi stammered, her big bright eyes full of disbelief.

"How can this be? Could it be a prince?"

At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly came.

"I also want to know, are you my emperor?"

With the words, Emperor Zhao Ji, who was dressed in a dragon robe, strode into the inner courtyard, followed by a large number of guards, his eyes staring at Zhao Bufan.

After a moment of stunnedness, everyone reacted and saluted in unison.

"Knock on the emperor!"

Zhao Bufan was no exception, kneeling on the ground and saluting, his mind was also quickly weighing.

If there is no accident, then I should be Zhao Ta, but there is still a fake prince at the moment, and my father-in-law Zhu Bocai has not come back from Dali, and I don't know if the evidence in his hand is enough, if I clearly admit it now, then there is no way back.

No, I can't admit it explicitly, if I can't prove my identity, I will become a fake prince, and I will really die, and once I admit it myself, I will immediately lose all real power before the identity of the prince is identified.

Just as he was secretly thinking in his heart, Emperor Zhao Ji had already motioned for everyone to get up, walked straight to Empress Zheng, and said with a slight smile: "Why is the Empress here, and she is one step ahead of me?"

Seeing that Zhao Ji had already suspected Zhao Bufan's background, Empress Zheng had nothing to hide, so she immediately replied with a smile: "The concubine heard that Tong Guan was defeated and fled, and she was worried that he would retaliate against Zhao Bufan, so she hurried over to take a look, I don't know why Your Majesty came?"

"Of course, like you, no matter whether Zhao Bufan is the emperor or not, I don't want him to die!" Emperor Zhao Ji replied with a smile, and asked first: "When did the queen start to doubt Zhao Bufan's background?"

"It's been a few days!" Empress Zheng didn't say too clearly, obviously having some scruples.

"Then why didn't the queen tell me earlier?"

"This matter is very important, and the concubine is still not sure, so she is not in a hurry to say it!"

Emperor Zhao Ji nodded, didn't ask too many questions, quickly took a deep breath, and turned to look at Zhao Bufan.

With the light of the moonlight and the light of the lantern, his gaze went from top to bottom, from bottom to top, from left to right, from right to left, which can be said to be careful and meticulous, and he completely saw enough Zhao Bufan.

Everyone didn't dare to disturb him, until Zhao Bufan felt a little uncomfortable, and Zhao Ji laughed.

"Since I first saw you, I thought you looked kind, and now it seems that I still feel kind, because you do look a little similar to me when I was young, I wonder if you are my emperor?"

At this time, Zhao Bufan had already made a decision, and he didn't plan to reply clearly for the time being, so he quickly arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister can't say anything about this matter, just because his life experience is a little bizarre, so he does have some doubts in his heart, but the minister can't conclude it, so he naturally doesn't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Zhao Ji laughed loudly.

"I knew you wouldn't have anything to hide!"

Saying that, he didn't care about everyone's stunned eyes, and suddenly turned his head to look at the courtyard gate behind him.

"Yang Jian, you come in and listen carefully, I said that Zhao Bufan is that person's apprentice, it is absolutely impossible to deceive me, now what else do you have to say, did people ever mean to pretend to be the prince?"

With the words, the great eunuch Yang Jian led a young man into the inner courtyard quickly.

Yang Jian hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the old slave is indeed a villain, and he has wronged Lord Zhao, so he will make amends to Lord Zhao!"

As he spoke, he turned around and bowed deeply to Zhao Bufan.

"Lord Zhao, our family has made amends for you, and I hope that you will have a lot of money and don't worry about our family. ”

At this time, even though Yang Jian was respectful and respectful, he looked like he was sincerely pleading, but no matter how Zhao Bufan looked at it, he felt that his smile had a thick sense of pride, which was really indescribably disgusting.

Although Zhao Bufan's hatred for him is not as good as Tong Guan, it is not much less, and he would like to be slapped to death with a palm, but in this case, it is obviously not the time to be vindictive, no matter how angry he is, he can only endure it for the time being.

Unexpectedly, he didn't have time to respond to Yang Jian, but the young man who followed Yang Jian into the inner courtyard suddenly walked in front of Empress Zheng and respectfully bowed: "Son-in-law to meet the queen mother!"

Empress Zheng was stunned.

"You're ......"

The emperor next to him, Zhao Ji, laughed out loud and said happily: "Empress, he is our real emperor Zhao Ta!"

I have to say that this young man's appearance is really three or four points similar to Zhao Bufan, and no one believes him when he says that he is a brother.

Empress Zheng had obviously seen this Zhao Ji, and she didn't have too much surprise, but she just turned her head and stared at Zhao Bufan, who was full of shock, for a long time, and then looked at Emperor Zhao Ji suspiciously, and said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, the concubines are also sending people to secretly investigate the matter of Ta'er, but there are always many doubts, how does Your Majesty confirm Ta'er's identity, if you make a mistake, it's not good!"

"It won't be wrong! Absolutely it won't be wrong!" Emperor Zhao Ji seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and said affirmatively: "I have personally verified and completely determined that he is Ta'er, and I will discuss the specific matters with you after I return to the palace." ”

At this moment, Zhao Bufan's heart was already setting off a shocking wave, and irrepressible anger surged from the depths of his heart, but more was fear.

It's over, I'm now a suspected fake prince, just now Zhao Ji also intended to test me, obviously to see if I have the heart to fake the prince, fortunately I didn't admit it clearly, otherwise I'm afraid I would have to follow in the footsteps of Tong Guan today, and be unjustly killed, this dead eunuch Yang Jian, move so fast?
