Try to rebel today

When Zhou Yao woke up, Wang Jia was indeed beside him.

Moreover, the wound has been treated, well bandaged, and smells like medicine. It will be painful and numb, but it can be tolerated.

Wang Jia, however, was so worried that she stretched out her hand to touch his forehead: "Why did you wake up after only three hours of sleep? The doctor told you to sleep more...fortunately, you don't have a fever, as long as you don't have a fever." Wang Jia looked at Zhou Yao. , some incoherent, "How do you feel now, where does it hurt? Are you hungry, do you want to drink water? Meat is definitely not edible, you can only drink some porridge now..."

His crackling words made the atmosphere in the room lively, not deserted at all.

"I'm fine. The wound is a little numb. It doesn't hurt too much. I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat. I just want to drink some water."

"Oh, ok, I'll pour it for you—"

Zhou Yao directed Wang Jia to pour water, helped him to support the pillow, and came over with a hand stove... After a few tosses like this, Wang Jia became less nervous. He felt that the little friend was in good condition, and he must be fine!

He relaxed, and Zhou Yao asked, "Where's Yue Mingxiao?"

"I listened to what you said, and went back to the palace." Wang Jia said proudly, "My brother is following, I'm sure you'll be fine, don't worry."

"Then you're the only one here?"

"Oh, there is also King Min. Well, King Min brought a friend, a middle-aged man, who is very worried about your injury. I have been with you here for a long time, and I just left." Wang Jia paused, then Seeing Zhou Yao's expression, he said cautiously, "Feng Jiang...he hasn't come back yet, maybe our people haven't found him yet, and he doesn't know you're injured yet."

"Ah."

Zhou Yao's expression didn't change at all when he heard Feng Jiang.

"I want to see that friend of King Min, can you ask King Min to inform you?"

Wang Jia didn't know, he guessed it by himself as soon as he heard it, it must be uncle.

"Okay, I'll tell King Min!"

……

When Lan Linchun received the news, Zhou Yao couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep again. Lan Linchun didn't leave, and let the little guy Wang Jia go to rest, and he got up in front of Zhou Yao himself.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Yao woke up again. As soon as he woke up, his energy was unbelievably good.

"uncle."

Lan Linchun patted his head, checked his injury: "Not bad, he recovered very well."

Zhou Yao looked at him with a smile: "I'm fine, uncle."

Lan Linchun didn't dare to be careless, and asked the doctor to come in to have a look, and then went to feed Zhou Yao. After everything was over, his forehead was hot and sweaty.

Zhou Yao felt distressed: "Uncle tired?"

Facing Zhou Yao's clear black and white eyes, Lan Linchun smiled heartily: "No, I'm so happy."

"Then... uncle doesn't want to sleep?"

"Do not want to."

A light flashed in Zhou Yao's eyes: "Uncle said that when I come back successfully, he will tell me everything... Uncle must know what Wang Jia's things are."

Seeing the firmness in Zhou Yao's eyes, Lan Linchun sighed, "I thought I'd tell you when you recover from your injuries."

"My injury is not serious, and it won't affect anything." Zhou Yao blinked, teasing Lan Linchun to relax a bit, "Besides, I'm so bored lying down, I can't do anything, and if I don't let me listen to some stories, I will be suffocated."

Lan Linchun closed his eyes slightly, blocking the emotions in his eyes: "After hearing these things, you should not be happy."

But he could block the emotion in his eyes, but he couldn't block the expression of nervousness in his body.

Zhou Yao saw his hand trembling slightly.

It doesn't seem like a good story...

Zhou Yao was quiet for a moment, before he adjusted his mood, his long eyebrows were stretched, and he was smiling.

No matter how bad it is, it is much better than the previous life, isn't it?

In his previous life, he didn't know anything until he died.

"Sooner or later, you have to know," Zhou Yao patted Lan Linchun's hand lightly, "I have confidence in myself, and uncle should trust me more."

Lan Linchun looked at him deeply: "I believe you..."

The window blown by the wind moved slightly, and the candle wick exploded, making a soft sound.

Lan Linchun sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Zhou Yao with a solemn expression: "You look nothing like me. Your mother and concubine passed away, and the people in the palace never mentioned it, not even the old mother beside you. , don't you find it strange?"

Zhou Yao was silent.

Uncle didn't say this, he couldn't think of it, but when he said it, he felt... It seemed a little bit.

His mother and concubine was a court lady who was given the title of Ke concubine after giving birth to a child, but she was not favored at all and passed away very early. He was not yet three years old at the time, and his memory was very shallow. The palace people never mentioned Ke concubine When someone mentioned it, they bullied him maliciously, laughed at him, and said that he didn't look like his mother, nor did he look like his father.

In fact, his is a bit similar to the Great Zhou Emperor, but compared to Heng Wang who is more like the Great Zhou Emperor, it is indeed much worse.

The palace seems to be very taboo towards Ke concubine, not to mention the usual voice and smile, even the past is not mentioned much.It seems that Emperor Zhou and Concubine Zhu Gui issued a death order, and no one dared to talk about related topics. He didn't even have a place to inquire.

He only vaguely heard that Ke Concubine had served Empress Jiang before, she was a maid in the empress's palace, she gave birth to him after she seduced the emperor while he was drunk, and the way of death was very disgraceful, so he didn't care about the emperor or Concubine Zhu, he treated their mother and child No face.

I still vaguely remember that Kebi had a pair of extremely gentle hands, often patting his back to comfort him when he was crying, and there was a faint scent of sandalwood on his body.

Does uncle's words imply that Kebi is not his biological mother?

Zhou Yao looked at Lan Chunlin in shock, his eyes were full of puzzlement and thought.

If you think about it from Kebi's point of view, the reason is far-fetched. Look at Uncle...

He doesn't look like his uncle at all. It's not a person who said that, but during the years of accompanying and supporting him for a long time, my uncle really loved him and wished to give him the best in the world. He didn't doubt this feeling at all. .

But thinking about it, it seems that he is the only one who calls Lan Linchun the word uncle, but Lan Linchun has never called himself that.

Uncle was kind, loving, pampered, helped, taught, and respectful to him... No, in fact, uncle had always been very respectful and even humble in front of him. He had never been in an ordinary family. Intimacy between uncle and nephew.

So... there's a reason for this?

Zhou Yao didn't understand: "But I've heard people say that you and my concubine look somewhat similar."

They should be siblings...

"Kebi is indeed my older sister, but she...is not your biological mother."

At this time, Lan Linchun didn't even use "you" and used the honorific title directly, and he no longer sat by Zhou Yao's bed, but took a step back and knelt on the footrest: "Your mother is the deceased Queen Jiang. !"

When these words came out, Lan Linchun was very emotional.

The secret hidden deep in the years and carefully guarded for many years was finally spoken out. He was a little relieved, but more nervous.

I was nervous that I didn't do well enough, worried that Zhou Yao would not believe me, and worried that he would be angry and in a bad mood, which would affect the injury.

However, Zhou Yao is much better than he imagined.

Zhou Yao closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

In an instant, thousands of thoughts and pictures rushed into his mind, he understood many things, and understood many things.

"That's it..."

In his words, there was regret and sigh.

Why are there always so many things surrounding me, why are I already so transparent, and some people don't want to let it go... I guess it's because paper can't contain fire, the fact can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden for a lifetime.

He thought of Feng Jiang.

What is the fate of the two of them...

Heng Wang claimed to be the son of Empress Jiang and threatened Feng Jiang. He was worried and sad. This sadness rose to the extreme when he was in danger and could not wait for Feng Jiang.

After all, people are selfish, no matter how magnanimous they are, when the real moment comes, they still can't help but be disappointed. If Wang Jiyue Mingxiao didn't come in time, he might not be able to avoid death.Zhou Yao felt that his expectations for Feng Jiang had changed, and his feelings... seemed to have changed along with it.

If it was before, if he knew that he was the son of Empress Jiang, he would definitely be beautiful, and he would drag Feng Jiang around to play all kinds of petty tempers. Now that he knew it, he was calm and didn't want to see Feng Jiang.

He looked at Lan Linchun: "Uncle, get up."

Lan Linchun had a complicated expression: "I'm not you..."

"I have supported each other for so many years, I dare not forget, the name is false, but the love is true, you were my uncle before, and you will always be in the future."

Lan Linchun choked up a little: "The second prince..."

"Please, uncle," Zhou Yao said with a smile, "Continue to talk about the past, I want to hear it."

"it is good."

Lan Linchun paused, and then began to talk.

The Zhou Dynasty has been passed down for several generations, and the situation is getting more and more dangerous. After losing the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, the situation is even worse. Seeing that the power of the court is about to end, the first emperor is anxious, and he seeks a capable person. Being a princess can be broken, and she can return to the prosperous age and rule the world.

The first emperor had only one son, and the position of the prince and crown prince was stable. The princess concubine, who was the future empress, had a very special status, but the first emperor didn't object a word, and immediately settled the matter.

Empress Jiang's family used to be a rich family with a long history, but unfortunately times have changed, she is the only woman in this generation, and the family has no strength to help.

The prince at that time, who is now the Great Zhou Emperor, had a childhood sweetheart, Concubine Zhu.But no one knew what the crown prince was thinking, after hearing what the late emperor said, he immediately broke up with Concubine Zhu, welcomed Empress Jiang into the palace, treated him with all kinds of courtesy, kept a low profile and became a good man in everyone's eyes...

Until more than half a year passed, there was no effect at all.Chuan Guo Yuxi is still missing, Da Zhou's spirit is still sluggish, and there is no good news.

The prince gave up, no longer wronged himself, and welcomed Concubine Zhu into the palace.

"Empress Jiang... my mother's queen, is she willing to marry the prince?"

Lan Linchun paused, and sighed: "Yes. Although your mother is a woman, she is also from the Great Zhou, and she has the heart to save the situation. Moreover, the prince at that time, who is now the Emperor of the Great Zhou, showed great sincerity. He is also handsome and talented, and he is respected a lot. Everything in the palace is always a secret. What happened to the prince and his childhood sweetheart cannot be disclosed to the outside world. Empress Jiang doesn't know, even if she knows...Who in the upper class doesn't take concubines? What's more, the late emperor personally hired him, a bunch of ministers knelt and begged, grandparents forced her, she wanted to hide, but she couldn't..."

Zhou Yao's eyes dimmed.

So to some extent, it was coaxed and forced.

"Not long after, Empress Jiang and Concubine Zhu were married at the same time. Empress Jiang was pregnant with you, and Concubine Zhu was pregnant with Prince Heng..."

But Zhou Yao felt something was wrong: "King Heng is two months older than me."

"He's actually only half an hour older than you."

Lan Linchun continued to tell the story of that year.

Empress Jiang is a smart girl. At first, she just couldn't resist her fate, so she just took it seriously and wanted to change, but she found out that the prince is not the prince she thought, and everything was just pretending.

She was disappointed, but she was pregnant and the child was innocent, so she just wanted to give birth to the child and raise it well.

She didn't feel wronged, and Concubine Zhu quit.

Concubine Zhu always felt that she was the surest concubine, the future queen, but was cut off by Empress Jiang. She was very upset and wanted to punish Empress Jiang for a long time.But because of the hexagram image, the first emperor and the crown prince pressed her, so she didn't dare to move.

The result was good, the first emperor went, the crown prince ascended the throne, and became dissatisfied with Empress Jiang again, she was pregnant again...

What are you waiting for?

So it's all kinds of palace fights, drugging you to miscarry.

Empress Jiang is not very attached to the Great Zhou Emperor. Men, if you don’t want them, you don’t want them, but children can’t.She used the strength she had accumulated over the years to deal with everything cautiously and boldly...

Very difficult, but successful, she kept the baby.

It also created a very powerful blow, which put Zhu Guifei's position in jeopardy.

Concubine Zhu Gui wanted to stabilize her position and regain her Sacred Heart. She especially hoped that this baby would be a son. She invited a famous doctor, but the result was not good. After seeing a few times, she said it was a girl, so she quietly gave Empress Jiang a try—— Rather like a son.

Concubine Zhu smashed things in the hall angrily.

But after smashing it, she had a new idea, she was a girl in her stomach, and someone else was not, so it was half a good thing...

Anyway, the two of them had about the same life, so she started planning to change sons.

Empress Jiang is no longer a young girl who has no influence in the Palace just now. She is smart and well-informed, so she soon found out about this matter.

Now that you know it, you won't fall for it.

She immediately deployed and arranged various response plans.

Lan Linchun let out a long sigh: "At this moment, when Empress Jiang and Concubine Zhu were giving birth, the Turkic people suddenly moved in, and there was a palace change in the palace..."

In an emergency, internal and external troubles suddenly occurred, the palace was in chaos, and the family was about to be destroyed. There was also a group of people who, for some reason, came to the central palace where the empress lived.

Empress Jiang was in pain while trying to figure out a way.

In fact, at the moment, she gave birth to the child and followed Concubine Zhu's wishes, and it was the best and safest to exchange it for Concubine Zhu, because Concubine Zhu was by the emperor's side, and the guards were the most complete, so nothing would happen.

But Queen Jiang was reluctant.

When she thought that her child would recognize a thief as her mother, and had a mother like Concubine Zhu, she was filled with bitterness.It's not that I'm jealous, but what kind of children can a woman like Zhu Guifei teach?

Queen Jiang finally decided not to change.

According to the previous plan, she asked people to look at Concubine Zhu.

Concubine Zhu Gui took double doses of oxytocin, and the child was born very quickly. It was a boy, not a girl. Xu held her breath when she was born, and did not cry when she was born.The midwife, who belonged to Empress Jiang, didn't say anything when she saw this, only that she had given birth to a stillborn baby.

Concubine Zhu was so angry that she immediately slapped the bed and asked the midwife to do things to replace the child born by Empress Jiang, regardless of gender!

Apparently, she thought the midwife was hers.

The midwife moved very neatly, and immediately took the child to find Empress Jiang.

Queen Jiang is not yet born.

The midwife Ben Jianshe killed Concubine Zhu's child. Anyway, it was said that it was a stillbirth. It was just right to sit down, but Empress Jiang didn't want to.No matter what, the child is innocent, and she is giving birth now, she really doesn't want her child to bear a karma before seeing the sun.

Lan Linchun: "Empress Jiang asked the midwife to wash the baby and sent it back to Concubine Zhu. She said it was born by her and the exchange was successful."

Zhou Yao understood: "So the reason why there is no doubt that I am the son of Empress Jiang is because King Heng has already sent him back, but I have not yet given birth?"

"Yes." Lan Linchun nodded, "But it was too soon. You were born within a short time after the midwife left."

Zhou Yao lowered his eyes and covered his eyes to sarcastically: "So Concubine Zhu didn't know that King Heng was the son of Concubine Zhu, and King Heng himself probably didn't know either?"

"Yes."

Lan Linchun thought for a while, and said: "The people who participated in this matter back then were all Queen Jiang's confidantes. Over the years, many people passed away, especially the midwife, who died of a serious illness at a young age. It’s painful, it’s impossible to reveal any news that is not good for you. But I checked something before, and I accidentally bumped into Heng Wang who was secretly investigating this in the palace..."

Lan Linchun's eyebrows were raised, and his expression was quite meaningful: "He has probably already realized the 'fact' that he is not the son of Concubine Zhu."

Smart is mistaken by smart.

Zhou Yao sighed quietly: "This mother and son are really sad."

Based on Lan Linchun's narration, he can probably know what kind of person Zhu Guifei is. She is narrow-minded and has a sharp temper. It is impossible for her to treat her enemy's son well.Heng Wang didn't grow up under sincere care, and his personality is distorted, which is normal.

Lan Linchun was very happy: "If you do evil, you should know that there will be retribution. God still has eyes. King Heng is like Emperor Zhou, not at all like Concubine Zhu."
