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

Princess Yuqing? !

Zhou Zheng stood up suddenly. He thought about countless possibilities, but he never thought that Zhou Heng's mother was Zhou Yuqing!

Among the many descendants, the one the late emperor loved the most was Zhou Yuqing.

The name was originally chosen to mean that the sky will clear after the rain.

It is said that at that time, the plague was rampant in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the imperial doctors were helpless. Finally, the princess was born and the plague was eliminated.

Therefore, Princess Yuqing was the most favored by the late emperor.

No matter whether he is a prince or a prince, whether he is a royal relative or a nobleman, no one can challenge Princess Yuqing.

However, Princess Yuqing was kind-hearted, and she wished the Great Zhou good luck throughout her life.

It's a pity that Princess Yuqing is also involved in the dispute between the princes.

However, she still chose the wrong person. She stood on the side of the eldest prince and opposite to Emperor Tianjing.

In the end, Emperor Tianjing ascended the throne and began to eradicate dissidents.

However, what was recorded in the clan's mansion was that Princess Yuqing was attacked and the mansion was massacred.

Emperor Tianjing was so angry that countless people were buried with him.

Therefore, Zhou Zheng never thought that Zhou Heng would actually claim to be Zhou Yuqing's son!

If that's true, then he is his cousin? !

"But, why is your surname Zhou?!"

Zhou Zheng couldn't help but ask again, but this time Zhou Zheng's fists couldn't help but clenched.

"Because, my mother's surname is Zhou."

Zhou Heng's answer was simple, but powerful.

"Don't worry, my sister's surname is Bai, and she takes her father's surname."

The father mentioned by Zhou Heng was none other than the original prince-in-law, Bai Chen. A talented man of a generation, the number one scholar in his dynasty.

Perhaps he inherited his parents' good looks, so Bai Xi has been extremely beautiful and lovable since he was a child.

If it weren't for tuberculosis, perhaps Bai Xi would be even more glorious and charming now.

That's it!

Zhou Zheng slowly closed his eyes.

The royal family has always had such a rule. Even if the princess is a daughter, after marriage, the eldest son must take the emperor's surname, while the daughter can take the consort's surname.

This is also a gift from the royal family.

However, Zhou Zheng did not think in this direction at first.

"What evidence do you have?"

"There are not a few people in the world who pretend to be relatives of the emperor."

Zhou Zheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to ask.

"nature!"

At this point, Zhou Heng no longer needed to be secretive.

He took out an inconspicuous jade pendant from his waist.

The jade pendant is different from the usual jade pendants, but it is about the size of a thumb, mutton-fat jade, and round.

There is no carving that can be done, and there is no fixed shape. It is just a jade pendant that looks like mutton-fat jade in its original state.

However, the moment Zhou Zheng saw this jade pendant, his whole expression suddenly changed!

In the clan's mansion, it has long been recorded that on the day Yuqing was born, the sky cleared after the rain.

This jade pendant is like an unpolished raindrop, so the late emperor gave it to Zhou Yuqing.

Zhou Yuqing also carried it with him later. It was the only one in the world and could not be faked.

However, after Zhou Yuqing was killed, the jade pendant also disappeared, but I didn't expect to see it here.

Thinking again about the auras of Zhou Heng and Bai Xi, especially the unique aura of royalty between their brows, he could conclude that the people in front of him must be Zhou Yuqing's descendants!

He never expected that after so many years, he would still be able to meet the descendants of the late emperor's most beloved princess.

However, for a moment, Zhou Zheng was in a daze.

Because, his father is Zhou Heng’s father-killing enemy!

With a bitter smile, Zhou Zheng slowly closed his eyes.

"I have long said that knowing this news is not a good thing."

When Zhou Heng saw Zhou Zheng closing his eyes, he thought he was scared.

"In these years, we have not exposed our identities because we know that this Great Zhou is still the Great Zhou of Emperor Tianjing."

"If our whereabouts are exposed, maybe my sister and I will not have a chance to survive."

Thinking of Emperor Tianjing's cruel and bloody methods, Zhou Heng's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he tightened his fists.

"Is this why you don't go to the New Army?"

After a long time, Zhou Zheng opened his eyes again.

He can understand everything now.

"That's right!"

"Although we are just as insignificant as ants, we even have to hide our identities!"

"But we will never work for the enemy who killed our father!"

Zhou Heng was categorical. Even though the price was their hardship, Zhou Heng didn't care at all.

"Then, why don't you go far away?"

Zhou Zheng continued to ask, since he wanted to hide, staying in Da Zhou was not a safe way after all.

Isn’t it the king’s land in the whole world?

"Because, my mother said, we are from the Zhou Dynasty!"

"In life, I am a person from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and in death, I am a ghost from the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Gritting his teeth, lowering his head, he spoke in a deep voice.

Zhou Heng's emotions were a bit complicated, and even he himself couldn't explain them clearly.

He clearly hates the royal family and knows that the emperor is cruel, but he truly loves this land deeply.

Zhou Heng also knew that he could change his temperament and his identity, but he could never change the fact that he was from Zhou.

"I've told you everything you want to know."

"When will you be willing to treat my sister?"

This time, Zhou Heng's voice had a hint of prayer.

He knew very well the consequences he might face once his identity was exposed, but he didn't care so much now.

He just wants Bai Xi to survive.

"Have you ever thought that the current emperor is no longer Emperor Tianjing, and is completely different from Emperor Tianjing?"

Seemingly unwilling, Zhou Zheng was still trying to persuade him.

But what he got in exchange for these words was Zhou Heng's arrogant smile.

"different!?"

"Yes, Zhou Zheng and Emperor Tianjing are indeed different."

"But so what?"

"I only know that he is the legitimate son of Emperor Tianjing!"

It’s just one sentence, but it says so much.

But Zhou Zheng's heart trembled suddenly, and finally he stopped talking.

Some things take time and opportunity.

However, Aunt Yuqing is still alive, which is good news for Zhou Zheng.

"Don't worry, I will personally take action on Bai Xi's illness."

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng made a serious promise.

Tuberculosis is an incurable disease in this world and is even highly contagious.

But in Zhou Zheng's view, this disease is no longer a terminal illness in his world.

It is not a big problem to control tuberculosis.

To cure tuberculosis, it will certainly take some time and effort to develop drugs.

However, for his cousin, whom he met for the first time, Zhou Zheng was naturally willing.

"If, one day you change your mind."

"You want to take my head to the court in exchange for what you want..."

"I have no regrets."

"I just hope you can let my sister go."

Zhou Heng stood up and bowed deeply towards Zhou Zheng.

This was his only request.

"rest assured!"

"As long as I live, nothing will happen to you or your sister!"
