Quick, I don't want to be in love anymore

Chapter 296: Love in the Sadistic Story (43)

Zhou Chengyun's thoughts were inevitably drawn back to the past by his words.

Zhou Chengde's claim of being favored was not groundless. After all, "the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old man." This saying was not only applicable among the people, but was also confirmed in the royal family.

As the youngest son of the late emperor, Zhou Chengde indeed enjoyed a different kind of favor from his other royal brothers until the late emperor's death.

But even if he is older, it does not mean that he has a chance to compete with Zhou Chengyun.

Because Zhou Chengyun was the legitimate son of the Empress Dowager, the current Empress Dowager was of noble birth, and Zhou Chengyun himself was trained by the late Emperor according to the standards of an heir from childhood to adulthood.

Let’s look at Zhou Chengde again. Although he was favored, his mother was just a slave from the Xinzheku in the palace.

Although I gained some favor from the late emperor because of my beauty, so what?

Who gets the throne is not determined solely by the favor of the late emperor.

The late emperor must have known this himself, so no matter how much he doted on Zhou Chengde and his mother, he only gave his mother a small concubine position.

He never even considered abolishing the position of Crown Prince Zhou Chengyun, for he was afraid that the Zhou family's kingdom would fall into the hands of someone else, and he would be ashamed to face his ancestors a hundred years later.

So everything Zhou Chen said was just his delusion.

Zhou Chengyun thought so and said it out loud.

Zhou Chengde's eyes were full of disbelief. Zhou Chengyun didn't care how devastated the man in front of him was, and directly ordered him to be taken to jail to await his fate.

"Father, I was simply deceived by the treacherous person. I did not intend to murder you!"

When Zhou Yulin saw this situation, he immediately begged for mercy with tears and snot.

"Li Zhu, take the Third Prince back to the palace. He is not allowed to leave unless he is dead."

Zhou Chengyun waved his hand wearily. Although his son had ambitions to seize the throne, he was a fool. From beginning to end, he had been used as a pawn by Zhou Chengde.

Moreover, as he said, he had no intention of killing his father. Zhou Chengde had originally arranged poison, but Zhou Yulin replaced it with medicine.

The reason why Zhou Chengyun was diagnosed with poison by Doctor Zhang was that he was just cruel.

When Zhou Yulin heard the order, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of unwillingness, but also some helplessness.

After all, what happened today is treason to a large extent. The fate of those who committed rebellion is much more serious than mine. It is great that I can save my life today.

After Zhou Chengde was imprisoned, his men were eliminated one by one. After everything was settled, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were cleared of their grievances and released.

"It's alright now."

Old Mrs. Shen looked at the plaque in front of her with the three big words "Prime Minister's Mansion" in some disbelief.

Her hair was a mess, like a bird's nest. This was all because she cursed every day in prison, blaming the heavens, the earth, and Yan Qingman.

At first, Yan Qingman could still tolerate it and simply ignored her words.

However, as her remarks became more and more vulgar and she even wanted to make a move, Yan Qingman was not willing to be left behind. She simply gave a look and asked Aunt Gu and Old Lady Shen beside her to start arguing.

The result is obvious. Old Mrs. Shen, who has always lived a life of luxury, is naturally no match for Aunt Gu.

Because men and women were imprisoned in different places, no one paid any attention to her even though she cried and screamed.

"Son, look what you've married!"

The moment she saw Shen Heng, Old Lady Shen rushed forward and cried...
