How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Even though this new body was still young, it was still delicate and beautiful, and its voice was as soft as a cat's moan.

The moment Zhou Ze looked into the bronze mirror, he almost vomited.

He subconsciously thought of the equally delicate Jiang Luoer, who had killed him and his father.

But when Xie Chengze's memories came flooding back, it was like a pair of warm hands that temporarily soothed Zhou Ze's shadow over that delicate and beautiful body.

He realized that he had entered the body of a very good child.

Gentle, simple, intelligent, flawless, as if all the beautiful words in the world were born because of him.

So why did he enter Xie Chengze's body?

The memory still stayed at Xie Chengze holding his younger brother, the Crown Prince, to sleep. After returning to Chenghuan Palace, he just took a nap at noon, and when he woke up, it was himself.

Will others find out that he is not "Xie Chengze"?

If he was discovered, would they execute him?

In order not to alert the enemy, Zhou Ze decided to disguise himself as Xie Chengze first.

But he is not Xie Chengze after all. Even if he has the other party's memories, he cannot be exactly the same. The worst thing is that the mother of this body, Concubine Hua, seems to have noticed his abnormality.

Faced with Concubine Hua's temptation and questioning, Zhou Ze didn't know how to answer.

Do you admit it?

and then?

Ask a master to drive away his spirit? Throw him into the cold palace to fend for himself? Or just execute him for his supernatural powers?

Zhou Ze was scared.

He didn't know where his soul would go once it was driven away. Whether he died in the hell of another world or returned to the hell of his original world, he would not be able to avenge himself.

He doesn't want to die, as long as he's alive there's still hope.

The desire to survive made Zhou Ze choose to avoid Concubine Hua's questioning.

His silence was enough to make Concubine Hua collapse. She tried to test him bit by bit, trying to expose his disguise. When he refused to cooperate with the imperial physician's examination, she cruelly gave him a knockout drug.

Zhou Ze lost his mother when he was young. He envied Xie Chengze for having a mother who loved him so much. So even though Concubine Hua questioned and suspected him again and again, and tried to expose his disguise time and time again, he did not hate Concubine Hua.

Even because of the absence of his mother, he longed for Concubine Hua's recognition and love.

He knew it was difficult.

But he still had to do something. He made kites for her in spring, fanned her in summer, picked maple leaves for her in autumn, and made warm clothes for her in winter.

He could see that Hua Ning's eyes had melted, and he could also see that Hua Ning had frozen that tenderness with her own eyes.

He and Concubine Hua seemed to be trying hard to accept each other, but unable to fully accept each other.

To him, Concubine Hua is the one who sees through him and can even decide his life or death. To Concubine Hua, he is a fake who has taken over the magpie's nest and is a bad guy who is trying to conceal the truth.

Two gentle and kind-hearted people, for various reasons, tortured each other and themselves.

Zhou Ze also thought about giving up disguise.

Concubine Hua is a very good person, she will not let herself die.

But at this time someone secretly told him that he was not of royal blood, that this country had divine power that could predict the future, and that Xie Chengze's soul was a blessed star from heaven that protected Jian'an. If the fact that he had replaced Xie Chengze's soul was exposed, it would inevitably bring disaster.

Zhou Ze was timid.

He couldn't guarantee whether Concubine Hua could resist the luck star and protect him. The only person he could trust at this moment was himself.

But seeing Concubine Hua becoming increasingly decadent and ill over the past five years, he was also tormented in his heart.

While he felt pity for Concubine Hua's love for her son, he couldn't help but feel resentful as to why Concubine Hua could not accept reality and had to roast him on the stove again and again, where she could be executed.

He also longs to be loved, and he also longs to live.

He didn't come here voluntarily.

One day, when Concubine Hua, who was suffering from depression, smashed a vase on him, Zhou Ze was tired.

Anger grew in his heart. Since Concubine Hua disliked him so much, he would let her kill him with her own hands.

This will make her happy.

In some ways, Zhou Ze is extreme and self-destructive.

He ran to the Ministry of Works and wanted to ask Gu Lao to make a Qiankun Yinyang Pot, which was a very popular wine cup in their Zhou Dynasty that could hold both tea and wine.

Of course, it can also be used to place poison.

But the ancients couldn’t do it.

Zhou Ze was so angry that he had him beaten with ten boards.

Before Zhou Ze could come up with any other solution, Concubine Hua died of illness. Before she died, she stared at him, wanting to see her beloved son through his face.

She kept saying until her death, "My Ze'er... give me back my Ze'er..."

Zhou Ze collapsed.

He is also Ze'er.

He tried hard to please her, take care of her illness, and gave up his original appearance to imitate Xie Chengze, but could it still not warm her heart?

It snowed heavily on the day Concubine Hua passed away. Zhou Ze climbed the Heavenly Stairs on foot in a trance and came to the Heavenly Supervision Division, hoping to get answers from Tianyu.

"Am I really a lucky star?"

Tianyu, tell me, is the person of the lucky star this body or this soul?

If it is a spirit, why don't you tell the truth to the world?

If it was the body, then why would I let such a kind and gentle mother be tortured to death by me?

Tianyu did not tell him the answer.

Five years of mutual torture have come to an end.

But Zhou Ze was confused.

What should he do next?

What's the point of him staying here?

Before Zhou Ze could find the answer, he discovered that the prince's younger brother named Xie Jinyu seemed to have extraordinary feelings for him.

In order to prevent others from noticing his abnormality, Zhou Ze had gradually reduced his interactions with people other than Emperor Jian over the past five years, taking advantage of Concubine Hua's illness. He went to the Eastern Palace less frequently and often declined Xie Jinyu's invitations.

The look in the eyes of this prince's younger brother made him feel uncomfortable all over, and that kind of paranoid and morbid dependence made Zhou Ze retreat.

He knew that if he got too close to Xie Jinyu, Xie Jinyu would sooner or later find out that he was not the real boss, and who knows what she would do to him then.

But unexpectedly, this rejection made Xie Jinyu even more pressing.

After Concubine Hua died, Xie Jinyu seemed to have let go. Not only did she want him to live in the Eastern Palace, she even started to make advances towards him, holding his hand and touching his belly.

Zhou Ze was going crazy.

This guy not only has a relationship with Long Yang, but he also has a relationship with brothers? !

He is the crown prince! The future new emperor of Jian'an! Instead of managing the government properly, he actually imitated the crown prince of his hometown, the Zhou Dynasty, and indulged in male beauty?

Xie Jinyu completely stepped on all of Zhou Ze's sore spots.

Zhou Ze decided to pack up and run away. The things in Chenghuan Palace were all the private money left by Emperor Jian for the people. Zhou Ze couldn't touch them, nor did he want to touch the people's life-saving money, so he began to think of ways to get the ministers' money.

But he didn't expect that Concubine Hua actually had a backup plan.

Wuhen and Wuji, whom Xie Chengze rescued when he was a child, were trained to become martial arts masters. They entered the palace and entered Chenghuan Palace, and stopped him when he tried to run away with the money.

"You can't leave the palace."

"Your Highness will not be able to find the way home."

Zhou Ze cried angrily.

These two people are simply wooden pegs and smelly stones in a cesspool. They cherish Xie Chengze's body very much and are willing to give everything for Xie Chengze. They can obey all of Zhou Ze's orders, including killing and arson, being cruelly punished by him, and dying to protect him, but they just refuse to let him leave the palace.

Even if you leave the palace, you have to go back.

At first, Zhou Ze didn't hate Wuhen and Wuji.

He understood Wuhen and Wuji's feelings for Xie Chengze. If he were in his place, he would also hope that the master who redeemed him would come back.

He decided to stay in the palace first and find a suitable opportunity to sneak away. At this time, someone secretly told him that he was not of royal blood, and that Emperor Jian loved him only to use him as a shield and as a polishing stone for the prince. Sooner or later, he would die at the hands of Xie Jinyu.

If he wants to live, he must compete with Xie Jinyu for the position of crown prince and heir to the throne.

Zhou Ze realized it later. Even a palace maid knew that he was not of royal blood, but did Xie Jinyu know?

After asking indirectly, he found out that Xie Jinyu also knew about this.

Zhou Ze’s head exploded.

Do not! ! !

Zhou Ze's mentality collapsed again. He didn't dare to think about what would happen if the emperor Jian, who loved him, knew that he was not of royal blood. He didn't dare to think that Xie Jinyu would be like his elder and second brothers, and regard him as Jiang Luoer who could accept that, and then make him a disaster for Jian'an.

He dared not even think about what kind of terrible disaster would befall him if he chose to fight for the imperial power.

In order to protect himself, he went to the Ministry of Works again, wanting Gu Lao to create a sleeve arrow that could shoot people at close range.

The old saying goes that it can't be done.

Zhou Ze was so angry that he beat him with ten boards again.

The Ministry of Works of the Jian'an Dynasty is simply a useless decoration!!!

what--!

Zhou Ze let out a long roar towards the sky.

Maybe because they were distant from each other before, Xie Jinyu's possessiveness towards him became stronger and stronger. Once, Xie Jinyu even forced him into the East Palace, and used both kindness and force to force him to sleep with her in his arms.

He did not sleep all night. Fortunately, Xie Jinyu did not make any move on him. When the day dawned, he finally fell asleep. However, he found that Xie Jinyu woke up and began to caress his eyebrows and lips. She muttered to herself in a deep voice, "Sometimes I feel that my second brother is not like my second brother anymore, but... no matter what, my second brother will always stay by my side."

He heard it, and the boy began to pant.

He also heard the boy laughing. That laughter was paranoid and crazy. "Is the second brother awake?"

From then on, the East Palace became a forbidden area for Zhou Ze.

He began to refuse Xie Jinyu from entering Chenghuan Palace. Whenever Xie Jinyu tried to hug him, he would jump up and down and curse, wishing he could use all the dirtiest words in the world to curse him.

In order to make Xie Jinyu hate him and to save his own life, he began to cultivate his own followers and showed his despicable and shameless side. This method was very effective and Xie Jinyu reduced the number of times she "harassed" him.

He finally got a chance to catch his breath until he saw the man named Shen Yuan.

He said he was handsome.

Zhou Ze was annoyed by this sentence. He actually didn't like this face very much. It was too troublesome. Two years ago, the top scholar in the imperial examination wrote a poem to tease him, a grown man who was almost 40 years old in his two lifetimes combined. He was really angry.

But considering that Shen Yuan was a good man, Zhou Ze tolerated his verbal offenses time and time again, because Shen Yuan was the first man who would not have any desire for him because of his handsome appearance.

He wants Shen Yuan to be his!

Oh no, it's his gang!
