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

Zhou Zheng didn't even move his eyelids when he noticed the killing intent in King Runan.

If this little pressure makes him afraid, then he is not Zhou Zheng.

"Is it?"

"I am here now, but I would like to know how the prince plans to kill me?"

The corners of Zhou Zheng's mouth rose with disdain on his face.

Threats never work on him.

"I advise you to regain some sense."

"Even if you have tens of thousands of elites, even if you are in charge of one side, it's a pity that the distant water cannot save the near fire."

"Let's not talk about whether I can walk out of the palace alive. You should worry more about Zhou Dao first."

Zhou Zheng lay on the armchair and spoke calmly.

The world only knew that King Runan had several sons, but they did not know that except for Zhou Dao, the other sons were not his biological children.

Someone told King Runan's fortune at the beginning, saying that he was too murderous and would be punished by God and would not be able to have a future wife.

Even if there is, he will suffer divine punishment and not have a good death.

Unless, other people's blessings are used to alleviate his evil obstacles.

Therefore, King Runan secretly adopted some orphans and claimed that they were all his children.

But not many people know this secret.

Over the years, King Runan has put almost all his efforts into Zhou Dao, in order that one day, the master will be better than the master, and Zhou Dao will truly embark on the path of the human race!

Sure enough, when Zhou Zheng mentioned Zhou Dao again, King Runan's expression changed.

"Hahaha!!!"

"It's interesting. This is the first time you dare to talk to me like this in so many years."

"That's right, I naturally don't want Dao'er to have any problems."

"So, you can leave now."

"Today's incident will be treated as if it never happened."

Waving his hand, King Runan suddenly changed his attitude and sat directly next to Zhou Zheng, drinking by himself.

It was as if the tense situation just now had never happened.

"Your Majesty, aren't you worried?"

Seeing that King Runan was so calm, Zhou Zheng became even more interested.

"worry about what?"

"If I don't kill you, why would you still dare to attack me? If that happens, I guarantee that none of you will leave Lujiang County alive."

"Or do you think that with the treasure map and the letters in your hands, you can bring down this king if you return to the court?"

King Runan laughed loudly.

Zhou Zheng said nothing and fell into deep thought.

"Boy, you are still too young."

"The arena is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships."

"I am your imperial uncle and the brother of Emperor Tianjing. Do you think His Majesty is so benevolent that he will take action against me?"

King Runan made the word benevolence and righteousness very clear.

"However, I can give you a chance now."

Suddenly, a smile broke out on King Runan's face.

This change in attitude made Zhou Zheng a little confused, but he still reflexively asked: "What opportunity?"

"cooperate!"

"Cooperate with me!"

When these two words were spoken, Zhou Zheng clearly felt that King Runan's mood was fluctuating.

"By cooperating with someone who wants to kill me, does the prince think there is something wrong with my mind?"

Zhou Zheng was a little disdainful.

"If you weren't smart enough and capable enough, I would never consider cooperating with you."

Waving his hand, King Runan obviously didn't care about Zhou Zheng's attitude.

"What do you think the attitude of the civil and military officials of the court and His Majesty towards you!?"

"On your 20th coronation day, Emperor Tianjing not only did not crown you, but also asked him to supervise the execution of the third prince Zhou Qiao."

"When you were a weakling at the age of eighteen, Emperor Tianjing didn't even show his face."

"In the past two years, you have made countless achievements and won the hearts of the people. You are even known as the most talented person in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Emperor Tianjing still hasn't looked at you."

"With your intelligence, can't you see the key to this?!"

"No matter whether you are a civil or military official, a member of the imperial family, or even Emperor Tianjing, no one wants you to become an emperor."

"If there is a chance, do you think they want you to die?!"

King Runan approached Zhou Zheng. His voice was not loud, but it contained tens of thousands of pounds of strength.

"Do you really want to do this?"

"Are you really willing to accept your fate!?"

"Don't you want to do something?!"

King Runan's voice became more and more urgent, and the bewitching meaning in it even made Zhou Zheng's eyes become a little distracted at a certain moment!

"My lord, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng tried to stay calm as much as possible.

Just the beating of his heart made his breathing more rapid.

Such subtle changes naturally cannot escape the observation of King Runan.

At that moment, my heart felt hot, and a hint of excitement appeared in the deepest part of my eyes.

"You are the prince. According to my laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will be the rightful owner of this world from now on."

"But there are always some young people who want to replace you."

"Look around you, is there anyone who can protect you!?"

"Are you Zhou Ping, who is now insignificant, or Mu Yun, who has retired and returned to his hometown long ago? Or are you the thousands of warriors brought out from Xiangjun?!"

"In a small way, they may be able to play some role, but when it comes to the critical moment, they will be of no use."

King Runan had already understood the situation around Zhou Zheng.

"Why don't you choose to cooperate with me?"

"As long as I am here, who else in the imperial court will dare to disrespect you or go against you?"

It’s not that King Runan is bragging, but that he has the strength.

Although King Runan has been absent from the court in recent years and has ignored government affairs, his identity, status, and power cannot be doubted.

"When the time comes, with Marquis Zhenbei and me helping you, will the eldest prince and the second prince really dare to covet something they shouldn't?"

"At that time, even if Emperor Tianjing doesn't like you anymore, there will be no other better choice."

"And you are destined to ascend to the top!"

King Runan's words are heart-pounding.

Let alone Zhou Zheng, anyone here at this time would probably be unable to bear it.

After all, people and money die, and birds die for food!

No one can resist the temptation of the emperor's position.

"Join hands and cooperate!"

"Not only will it keep you worry-free, but it will also allow you to truly get in touch with great people!"

"otherwise!"

"You not only have enemies like the civil and military officials of the imperial court, but you also have enemies like me!"

"how to choose?!"

"You are a smart person. I believe you know what is important and what is light."

After the words fell, King Runan stopped talking.

He sat quietly beside him, not in a hurry or urging Zhou Zheng.

Because he was more certain than anyone else that he would hear the answer he wanted from Zhou Zheng's mouth.
