After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

A group of people went to look for Zhao Cong. As soon as they left, countless rockets were shot from the mountain, and nearly one third of the thousand guards fell down in an instant.

Wailing, sounds of fighting, the crackling and exploding sounds of flames...the sea of ​​fire spread, lighting up the night sky.

On the mountain, a pair of black pupils looked at melancholy, bright red flames reflected in their eyes, but they were calm.

His eyes followed the two figures who were being protected and fleeing into the woods at the foot of the mountain until they disappeared into the woods.

A masked man in black suddenly approached, "Master, the person escaped..."

"Saw."

"Do you need to chase?"

"Knock that woman unconscious and bring her back..."

"Yes!"

The man in black left.

Another man in black came up and looked down the mountain with him. After a while, he said obscurely, "We suffered heavy losses this time. Even if the brothers survive, they will be taken away for interrogation. I have already ordered them not to tell anyone about you. I don't think they will survive..."

"I know, but I have no choice."

"I have been lying dormant for many years, waiting for just such an opportunity. If I lose it, it will be lost forever."

The man in black said, "I understand."

"No, you don't understand!" The man's eyes were as dark and empty as the eternal night. He retracted his gaze, turned around, and slowly walked down the mountain. He straightened his broad shoulders, but inexplicably made him look thin and lonely.

"Since I can remember, I have been facing Wei Ju's disgusting face. He tortured me, ravaged me, fed me poison and boiled water, and watched me crawling on the ground with broken limbs, crying and begging like a dog, but he laughed heartily because he hated my..." The man frowned and paused, as if he found it difficult to say those two titles.

"He couldn't deal with them, so he came to take revenge on me who was powerless. During those dark days, I often wished I was dead, because death would free me. But even the God of Hell wouldn't take my worthless life." He laughed lightly, looking extremely desolate. "Do you know when I stopped wanting to die?"

The man in black frowned and looked at him without answering.

"Wei Ju became even more vicious later on. After torturing my body enough, he began to torture my heart. He told me that my original identity was the high and mighty crown prince. Crown prince, it turns out I was the crown prince..."

"He trapped me in a dog cage, covered with an airtight oilcloth with only one hole left, and took me to watch the crown prince's enthronement ceremony..."

At that time, the sky was high and the clouds were light, everything was new, and on the stage pulled by sixteen imperial horses, the sun shone with all its colors on the prince's jade-like face and on his bright yellow dragon robe. Everything was so free, carefree, noble and sublime...

Behind them followed the Emperor's carriage and the Princess's phoenix carriage. The Emperor and Empress' faces showed undisguised kindness and pride. The breeze gently blew the curtains of the phoenix carriage, revealing the little princess's beautiful and delicate face. She smiled gently, as delicate as a flower in bud dripping with dew.

All of this should be his...

Glory, love...it should be his!

The fairy-like sister in front of him should also be his...

But at that time, not only did he not have these, he didn't even have the qualifications to be a human being. He was a dog that Wei Ju could humiliate, torture and kill at will.

After returning home, he endured the excruciating pain in his body and often looked at the bright moon through the vent in the dark room that was less than an inch in size. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, do his parents know the truth, and when will they come to save him?

He waited day and night, but when the reinforcements came, he ran away.

At that time, he was still uneducated and knew very little, but his survival instinct made him find an opportunity and escape.

Now that he thinks about it, he shouldn't have run away. If he hadn't, the Duke of Zhenguo would have taken him back, and everything would have been revealed, and everyone would have returned to their proper places.

He missed an opportunity once, he won't miss it a second time!

Now, he carries not only his own hatred, but also his wife and children...

Power... He wants this all-powerful power!

"A Luo, do you know why I named myself Shao Yihui?"

"My life story is not completely fabricated, it's just that the time is wrong. I only stayed with my adoptive mother for a few months before she was killed by Zhao Heng. Oh, what a coincidence, and he is my brother again, but I will never have the chance to tell the truth. I can't see the emperor or the queen at all. Even if I do, what evidence can I have to prove it?"

"My foster mother taught me to read and write. She praised me for my intelligence and my photographic memory despite my late start. After she died, I went to the capital to avenge her and to find a chance to restore my true identity. I needed an identity, a name."

"Then let's call myself Shao, Shao... Zhao, Yihui. I am the lost descendant of the Zhao family. Even if I cannot make it public, I want to remind my relatives that there is still a me in this world."

Remind them that he, Shao Yihui, is the real golden branch and jade leaf! The real prince!

The man in black said with difficulty, "What a pity, they..."

Shao Yihui sneered, his voice turned cold, "I thought she didn't know, but it turns out that she and Shangguan Shu both knew, but they protected Zhao Cong and wanted to keep this secret."

"Yes, a brother you've never met can never compare to the friendship you've had since childhood..."

"The disappearance of the wet nurse must have aroused Zhao Ying's vigilance. I'm afraid that the imperial city has been controlled by her now. No one can present the wet nurse to the emperor and tell the truth."

"Fortunately, God didn't abandon me."

He suddenly curled his lips in an evil smile, "The queen is not dead!"

"I can't tell the emperor, and it's the same if I tell the queen!"

Soon, the sky gradually turned white.

Queen Hyomin slowly woke up and found herself locked in a woodshed with her hands and feet tied. She looked carefully and saw an old woman and a man lying in the haystack opposite.

That old woman's face...Queen Hyomin felt vaguely familiar.

That man... Queen Hyomin felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.

at the same time.

The capital city is in chaos.

When Empress Xiaomin was kidnapped by assassins, Emperor Jianxi was furious and personally led his troops to suppress the bandits.

Emperor Jianxi summoned Wei Ju and Shangguan Shifan for questioning. Shangguan Shifan had entered the palace early, but Emperor Jianxi did not reveal anything. This matter was of great importance. If what Gongsun Yuda said was true, then his own son might be left behind. If the news leaked out, there was no guarantee that someone with ulterior motives would not kill him...

Emperor Jianxi only asked the old Duke, "When you searched Wei Ju's private residence that day, did you see the secret room downstairs?"

After saying this, Emperor Jianxi stared at the old Duke's expression with some nervousness.

Seeing him nod, he said, "How does your majesty know? There was a dark room that day, and no one was in the dark room. I thought that was where Wei Ju tortured the girl, so..."

Emperor Jianxi did not listen to the rest of the words.

He leaned against the dragon throne with a pale face, and there was a hint of water in his sharp eyes. Seeing this, the old Duke hurried forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Emperor Jianxi covered his chest, looked at the old Duke, and said in a trembling voice, "Shifan..."

As the two were about to talk, an urgent report came from outside, "Oh no, oh no, I want to see the emperor!"
