Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Deep inside the palace.

Xiao Mu, King of Zhenbei, who was on the hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Zheng in front of him. He felt relieved.

During this period, the land in the north underwent great changes, and even Zhou Zheng almost fell into it, which made Xiao Mu feel scared.

Today's Great Zhou is full of waste, and if anything happens to Zhou Zheng, he will live in self-blame for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, everything is fine with Zhou Zheng.

After a brief exchange of words and seeing that Zhenbei Hou's body was not seriously injured, Zhou Zheng's anxious heart also calmed down.

The original crisis is still vivid in our minds now. If Zhou Zheng and the others were slower, perhaps the only thing separating them now would be heaven and man.

"Grandpa, grandson, I am ashamed."

Zhou Zheng's eyes were a little moist. This was the most important person to him. If he really made a mistake, he would not forgive himself.

Looking at the wounds all over Xiao Mu's body, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Years of fighting had left Xiao Mu at the end of his rope, and now he was seriously injured. Even if he managed to save his life, his body was still on the verge of collapse.

Perhaps, from now on, Xiao Mu will no longer be able to fight.

He is plagued by old illnesses and new injuries have not healed. Even if he wakes up now, Zhou Zheng knows very well that there is not much time left for Xiao Mu.

Maybe three years, maybe five years.

After all, Xiao Mu's eyes were already dim, almost radiant.

A weak complexion, weak blood, and thirst are signs of death.

In such a situation, even if Zhou Zheng has great abilities, there is nothing he can do to save his life.

Holding back the sadness in his heart, Zhou Zheng had a smile on his lips, enjoying the time with Xiao Mu.

As if he understood what Zhou Zheng was thinking, Xiao Mu indeed looked relieved and free. He had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was already prepared to face death at any time.

After living for so many years, the brothers around me who have been through life and death have long since returned. It is not easy for me to survive until now.

After retreating from everyone, Xiao Mu chatted with Zhou Zheng alone.

Xiao Guan and Xiao Hu dare not disobey.

"Your Majesty, this period of time has been hard on you."

His voice was hoarse, and all his words were filled with distress.

In Xiao Mu's eyes, Zhou Zheng is not only the current emperor, but also his grandson, a young man in his early twenties.

At this age, how many people are still playing in the world, but Zhou Zheng is fighting against the world, facing internal and external troubles, and even being assassinated by life and death.

But even so, he never heard the slightest complaint from Zhou Zheng.

Xiao Mu only hated himself for not being able to better solve Zhou Zheng's worries.

Grandfather and grandson want to talk, but they are all sad.

"The changes in the northern border this time are due to the incompetence of our Northern Army, and even more to the incompetence of our Xiao family."

After a long time, Xiao Mu finally got to the point.

As the first generation Zhenbei King, even though he was in a coma some time ago, he still vaguely guessed something after waking up.

Even though Xiao Hu and Xiao Guan kept silent because they asked him to take care of his health, Xiao Mu, who was thoughtful and serious, already knew it.

In the northern land, the assassination of Zhou Zheng could happen, and the foreigners escaped unscathed. It is not only a shame, but also a joke!

The only reason is that there is collusion between inside and outside, and it has been planned for a long time!

"Grandpa, everything is over."

Zhou Zheng gently patted Xiao Mu's dry palm and waved his hand, signaling Xiao Mu not to take it personally.

But Xiao Mu shook his head.

He looked up at Zhou Zheng again, and then his eyes were filled with a trace of struggle and determination.

"Your Majesty, veteran, I have something to ask of you!"

Gritting his teeth, there was a rare tremor and hesitation in Xiao Mu's voice, and even the palm holding Zhou Zheng trembled.

When their eyes met, Zhou Zheng hesitated for a moment, but then a smile appeared on his face.

This was his grandfather, the person he trusted the most. How could Zhou Zheng be unreasonable?

"Grandpa, it doesn't matter if you say it."

Zhou Zheng nodded.

He knew very well that as long as Xiao Mu opened his mouth, he could let go of everyone on the list...
