in the ancient last days

Chu Zhao was dreaming, his forehead was hot.

In the dream, it was a raging fire rising on the endless grassland.He was riding with the caravan on horseback, when suddenly a meteor shower fell from the sky, and the huge meteorite locked them with billowing flames, and hit them straight towards the grassland.

Chu Zhao's heart was beating wildly, and he threw away the reins subconsciously and quickly jumped on the horse. Unexpectedly, his feet were empty in the next second, and he was actually at an altitude of [-] feet, facing the black meteor that was hitting his face.

when - when -

The sound of the death knell sounded, and he saw his mortal enemy Jingqi in the flames. The opponent was rampant when he was no longer a family member, howling and rolling in the flames, red blood dripped from the wound, Jingqi's eyes met him, There was a strong vicious hatred in the eyes.

"Well...."

Seeing that the person on the soft bed was frowning tightly, Father Chu quickly put down the scroll in his hand and patted Chu Zhao on the shoulder.

"Don't, don't..." The tightly closed eyelids kept rolling, and the young man whispered anxiously in his sleep.

Is this a nightmare?

Chu Changqing hurriedly asked his servants to fetch wet wipes and put them on Chu Zhao's hot forehead.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Being patted slowly, Chu Zhao's frightened expression gradually calmed down, and he fell back into a deep sleep on the bed.Father Chu let out a long breath, and pinched the bridge of his nose exhaustedly.

Seeing this, the maid Liuli said: "Master, why don't you go and rest, as long as there are slaves here."

"No, don't worry, just watch me here." Chu Changqing said with a pale face, now he only hoped that the child entering the palace would be all right.

--

The eldest princess couldn't listen to her husband's persuasion. This strong woman in the past, wearing the ceremonial clothes bestowed by the emperor himself in her jade year, seemed to be holding her own sharp sword, and slowly stepped out of the mansion she hadn't stepped out of for 18 years. .

In the palace, the current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was playing with the hollow ball sent by the Internal Affairs Bureau in his study, and smiled with satisfaction: "Haha, yes, who made this? Reward!"

"Yes." The eunuch on the side smiled in agreement and winked to the side.

Today's emperor is no better than the previous emperor. He hates the "extraordinary obscenities" that these scholars call, and there are so many playthings in the palace, which also gives them, eunuchs, the opportunity to curry favor with the superiors.

Just about to present a new toy to the emperor, the eunuch frowned when there was a loud noise outside the door.

The emperor heard the voice and put down the things in his hand: "Bold, why is there such a noise outside?"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, don't enter!"

"Get out of the way!" The eldest princess flicked her sleeves, dressed in a solemn and dignified ceremonial dress, her aura soaring to the sky made it almost impossible to look directly at her.The guards unconsciously spread their pace and let her rush into the imperial study.

When Emperor Zhou saw the eldest princess's attire, he almost thought that he had returned to the days when the former emperor was alive, so he couldn't help but shrink back.

When he came back to his senses, he saw the woman gave him a deep look, then raised her sleeves and bowed down.

"......emperor."

Emperor Zhou's pace stopped.

Looking at the woman in front of him who bowed her head to him, I don't know what it feels like, there are jealousy, secret joy, and inexplicable complex feelings.The former concubine, who he could only look up to in the past, bowed his head to himself, a little bastard who had never cared about him before.

Sure enough, a woman can only be a woman. It's ridiculous that a mere woman, relying on the love of the former emperor, wants to get involved in the highest position that only men can ever ascend.

Changing his look of kindness, he stepped down the steps and helped the eldest princess up, "Sister Huang, you are my elder sister, get up quickly."

The woman didn't follow the trend, and Emperor Zhou's hand hung in the air in embarrassment.

The eldest princess lowered her head: "I implore the emperor to formally decree the marriage between the younger son and the eighth prince."

"......"

Emperor Zhou paused, "Why did Miss Huang suddenly mention this?"

"Zhao'er has loved the Eighth Prince for a long time, and next year he will wear his hair to grow up, and he will reach the age of marrying a wife. I implore the Holy Majesty to allow Zhao'er to formally marry the Eighth Prince," said the eldest princess, "I assure you, I will let the little one take care of himself." Love Your Highness, and don't let him suffer any grievances!"

Facing the sworn eldest princess, Emperor Zhou couldn't open his mouth. He couldn't say that he never thought of marrying his son to Chu Zhao, could he?Zhou Jing's birth was so magnificent, and he had a special physique of twins. He still thought about using this son in exchange for the allegiance of a lord or prince.As for the Chu family and the eldest princess' mansion?Over the years, it has long been useless, so why waste a good chess piece that has been drawn.

He didn't continue to answer the topic, but instead said: "I've heard about Chu Zhao's time in the school, alas, you've been wronged, Miss Huang, I'll let the imperial physician go back to the mansion with you to have a look. As for Duke Jing Prince... You also know, Miss Huang, that Duke Jing's mansion is just such a single seedling, and Duke Jing is too old to be frightened, so I think it's fine to punish him with a few punishments."

"What do you think, Miss Huang?"

"The Eighth Prince..."

The emperor interrupted her: "Jing'er is still young, and I still want to stay by my side for a few more years. I think Chu Zhao's body is too weak and he needs to take care of her for a few more years. What do you think, Miss Huang?"

One bite at a time, the emperor's sister seemed to be asking the eldest princess for advice, but there was no room for her to relax.

The eldest princess secretly gritted her silver teeth, and said why her child is weak, there are no secrets in the palace, and in less than a day these words will reach the ears of those who care outside the palace.Being labeled as "weak body", which wife would still look at Zhao'er?

Originally Chu Zhao was ridiculed for not having a county king title, but now he still listens to outsiders' gossip? !

Good... very good, she underestimated this younger brother.

Seeing that the other party behaved well, Emperor Zhou walked down the steps with satisfaction and held the eldest princess's hand, "My dear sister, you still understand me."

The beautiful woman lowered her head slowly, hiding the glare in her eyes.

The reason why the female beast is fierce is because it has something to protect.

——My good brother, I'm afraid you forgot.

Back then, it was me who was most qualified to be recognized by my father, and who was one step short of becoming the crown prince.

The existence you despise.

a few days later.

The snow in the capital is getting bigger and bigger. In order to prevent the heavy snow from covering the steps in front of the courtyard, many young and strong people in every household came out with brooms to sweep the snow.

Zhou Jing came out of the medical hall with his entourage wearing a hood, and passed by a person. He inadvertently raised his eyes and glanced, and suddenly stopped.

"His Highness Eighth." The other party was stunned when he saw Zhou Jing, as if there was something urgent, he saluted in a hurry and left.

Zhou Jing looked at the direction the other party was leaving. The eldest princess once fought in the north and south, and the general Ada, how could the other party be here? Looking at the direction, he still came out of the dark alley.

Zhou Jing was able to recognize the other party because Chu Zhao secretly took him to play in the princess's mansion when he was a child. Ada was often seen haunting the courtyard. The man with a fierce face always let Chu Zhao ride on top of his head to play. At that time, Zhou Jing Envious for a while.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?" the attendants Yong Ye and Yong Feng asked.

Zhou Jing: "It's okay, I'll go to the black alley, and you will send these medicinal materials to the princess mansion."

Yongfeng: "Your Highness! There are filth and filth in the dark alleys, most of them are refugees from outer cities. Your Highness, don't put yourself in danger. Let us brothers accompany you."

Zhou Jing said coldly: "Why, my order doesn't work anymore."

"But," Yong Feng wanted to say more, but was stopped by his brother, Yong Ye shook his head at him.

"Yes." Bowing their heads unwillingly, the two brothers saluted and left.

Zhou Jing fastened his hood strap and walked deep into the dark alley.

The ground is dark and damp, walking in the depths of a dark alley, occasionally stepping on moss under your feet.This is the black alley, a place of chronic diseases accumulated in the capital for generations.

Zhou Jing approached here, like a glowing gem, attracting many strange eyes.Faced with these dark and evil scrutiny, Zhou Jing slowly drew out the long sword at his waist. It was pitch black, long and narrow, and the edge of the sword exuded a murderous aura.

Heixiang's gaze disappeared instantly.

Zhou Jing's footsteps stopped in front of a person, his eyes were cold: "What did that person do here just now?"

The thin man with a relaxed smile on his face froze, and the people around him said, "What are you going to do to our boss?!"

The thin man asked his subordinates to back off, and turned to Zhou Jing with a smile: "My lord, if you have something to say, please speak up... hiss!" The tip of the black scabbard directly touched his chin, and the man's voice was as pale as snow: "Say it again, what did that person do just now, don't let me talk nonsense."

The pupils shrank violently for a while, the thin man's face turned livid, and cold sweat slowly seeped from his back.

.....

"What did you say, you saw the Eighth Prince at the entrance of the alley?" the eldest princess said.

"Yes," Ah Da frowned: "Your Highness, will this affect our plan?"

The eldest princess pondered: "Probably not, but just to be on the safe side, the arrangements in the mansion must be made as soon as possible, and there should be no further delay. Ada, I will leave these to you."

Ah Da complied, turned around and strode away.

The eldest princess sighed, turned and went to the inner courtyard.

Chu Zhao was dreaming again.

He dreamed of the days in the palace when he was a child. At that time, he grew up in the eldest princess's mansion, carefree, had no contact with the outside world, did not know his real situation in the capital, and only thought that his mother was from the Great Zhou Dynasty. His Royal Highness the eldest princess, her father is handsome and elegant, and her mother is a match made in heaven.

And he is the only child of the eldest princess, and no other siblings compete with him for this favor.

Dressed in fine clothes and surrounded by servants, Chu Zhao lived happily ever after. Knowing that he still has a beautiful fiancée, his first reaction was to meet him, and he was full of anticipation.

The Taixue in the palace was established, and in order to show the present's honor, an imperial decree was issued, and the only son of the Chu family was sent to the palace.

The first meeting with Zhou Jing did not disappoint Chu Zhao. The little girl, with a delicate and indistinguishable face, with a supple and tender face, and occasionally looking at Chu Zhao inquiringly, reminded him of his fish pond. Small swans.

He was eager to get close to each other.

"Ah Jing, Ah Jing." Chu Zhao of the fake child held Hei Xin'er between his arms, kissed Zhou Jing's tender face hard, and was very proud of seeing the blush on the other's cheeks.

Hehehe, he wants to hold his daughter-in-law in his hands early, and the child bride-in-law has to be raised from an early age.

"A Jing, you are mine, only I can kiss you, you know?"

The beautiful little girl (?) frowned, looked at the excited little face opposite, silently endured Chu Zhao's molestation, her thick eyelashes trembled, and her eyes glistening with water stared at Chu Zhao's face for a long time.

Chu Zhao raised his chin high, complacent, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior in this ancient time where men and women defended each other.

Until time flies, happiness is shattered by the cruel truth.

Chu Zhao's mother turned out to be the first eldest princess who failed to win the throne, and his father was Tanhualang who was determined and unwilling to succumb to the current emperor.And he, as the only direct descendant, is just a pawn used by the current emperor to hold Jiangyin Chu family hostage.

Any marriage contract, any doting, are all deceitful, and my family is looked down upon by others!

Knowing that the eldest princess's family will never recover, the people who bully Chu Zhao become more and more fearless, and become more and more serious. Chu Zhao is not easy to provoke, even if it is earth-shaking, he will bite the bully hard In fact, Zhou Jing, who was more or less one of the root causes of this phenomenon, was no longer welcomed by him.

"Zhao, Zhao...eat." His Highness the Eighth Prince still had a stuttering problem when he was young, and he always pursed his lips without saying a word, but now he calls Chu Zhao's name in a childish voice, wanting to make Chu Zhao Handed him the pastry in his hand.

He knew that his little fiance liked to eat sweets.

"Go away." Chu Zhaocai, who had just been severely reprimanded by someone, didn't appreciate it, and tried to escape viciously with a blue nose.

Little Zhou Jing was not afraid of him: "Ah, Ah Zhao, eat...ah." The cute boy opened his mouth as if demonstrating.

Chu Zhao, who had realized the difference between Shuang'er and a woman, turned his face away in disgust, and suddenly turned around and pushed him: "You are Shuang'er, and Shuang'er is a monster! Don't come near me again!"

This roar seemed to have released the depression that had been suppressed in his chest for many days, but when Chu Zhao looked sideways and saw Zhou Jing who was pushed to the ground at a loss, he felt a little guilty again.

Why does he...why care so much about the other party?never mind.

After hesitating for a second or two, Chu Zhao slowly stretched out his hand towards Zhou Jing, wanting to pull him up, but he never thought that the boy in front of him would raise his head and suddenly turn into a huge black monster fish with its mouth open!

"--call!"

Chu Zhao woke up with a start, and stood up from the bed with sweat profusely. Did he just have a nightmare?

"Liuli..." He called out with a hoarse voice, but Chu Zhao found something wrong with the touch at his hand.

The fabric was soft and thin, Chu Zhao frowned, and got out of bed a few steps to look around the environment.The room has an obvious modern style of home decoration. In a huge full-length mirror in front of him, the young man's face is sharp and angular, with short black hair, long legs, and black sportswear——

He wore it back?
