It started from the first time I met the eldest lady when I was twelve years old.

When he was sixteen years old, he followed the Wei family to send their eldest daughter into the palace.

He is now forty-two years old.

The woman he had kept in his heart for thirty years, he had only seen her for four short years.

But these four years were enough for him to strengthen his belief in revenge.

Anyone who hurts her must die! They must die without any descendants!

During the Wei Dynasty, people wanted to drink the emperor's blood and eat his flesh!

If it weren't for him, the eldest daughter would have married into a wealthy family in Ding'an City, become the mistress of the house, and be held in the palm of her husband's hand. When she was busy, she would take care of the housework of the whole mansion. When she was free, she would go out with her handkerchief to appreciate the flowers, the moon, and the beautiful scenery...

All of this was shattered by the emperor! He used his status as an emperor and was able to abduct the young lady into the palace while he was in the capital.

I got her, trapped her, but didn't cherish her!

Even though she risked her life to give birth to a prince for him, she received no respect at all.

She was forced to die of depression. How lonely must she have been inside the strict palace walls before her death? ! In the last moments of her life, even the thought of seeing her relatives was restricted by the rules!

How could he not hate this?!

But... the person who made him hate appeared in front of the third prince Wu Tianxiao when he grew up and was about to set up a government office and build a mansion.

The noble emperor took off his heavy dragon robe and walked to the small courtyard where he lived, surrounded by secret guards.

He seemed to be courteous, gentle and friendly to the people, but he wanted to pounce on him and kill him with a knife.

But the secret guards surrounding the courtyard gave up the idea.

"Concubine Wei once mentioned your abilities to me, but I didn't expect that your life would be so hard..." The emperor put on a guilty look, "After all, I came too late."

Wei Shi lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am really ashamed to hear your words! I am a slave, and this kind of life is already very good!"

The emperor shook his head: "But I know you shouldn't do this."

His voice was slow and gentle, but every word sent a chill down Wei Shi's spine. "Your father was originally a private school teacher in Huzhou Prefecture. He was a rare talent for scholars in our Great Zhou! If the prefect had not been implicated for corruption, you would surely be doing something different today."

"I have already investigated thoroughly. Your father was not implicated in the corruption of the prefect of Huzhou. Yesterday, I issued an edict to vindicate your father!"

Wei Shi was trembling all over.

The emperor investigated his identity as a servant of the Wei family so thoroughly, and rehabilitated him after more than 20 years of injustice. What was his real intention?!

The people praised the current emperor for loving his people like his own children, but he didn't believe it!

How can a man who treats his own woman as if she were his own daughter truly love his people like his own children? !

But he knew that he had to hide all his emotions at this moment, and he wanted to know the real reason behind His Majesty's pretense.

In the emperor's view, Wei Shi's trembling was just due to excessive excitement.

The emperor raised his hand and patted his thin shoulder: "The news of the rehabilitation will soon be reported back to the capital. By then, you can return to your original surname Zheng... From now on, I will call you Zheng Shi."

The surname Zheng had not been mentioned for more than 20 years during the Wei Dynasty.

He was filled with mixed emotions, but when he raised his head, his eyes were red with emotion: "Zheng Shi thanks your majesty for your grace. I will follow your majesty's lead and will not hesitate to die!"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction: "Concubine Wei once mentioned to me that when the third child grows up and leaves the palace to build his own residence, I would like you to be his chief official. Are you willing?"

Wei Shi nodded repeatedly: "My life was saved by Concubine Wei, so I am naturally willing to serve His Majesty the Third Prince."

The emperor smiled and said, "Now, I am asking you, are you willing?"

At this moment, Wei Shi understood.

He said without hesitation: "I am willing! I am willing to serve your majesty."

The emperor laughed.

Before leaving, the emperor said, "After the Zheng family is rehabilitated, I will order someone to rebury Mr. Zheng and your mother. I will tell you where they are buried after you have served the Third Prince well."
