When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

As long as Weidong stays by his side, or he stays by Weidong's side, it's fine, as long as they don't separate, he will be Xie Jiu, Xie Jiu is also good.

But what about Xie Jiu’s mother?

Where can he find Xie Jiu’s mother? Or should he find Xie Jiu’s biological mother?

It was not difficult to find her, but the difficult part was to get her to admit that she was Xie Jiu. Weidong and Xie Jiu had not seen each other for several years, and even if there were some differences, he just thought it was a change later.

But would Xie Jiuniang recognize the wrong child?

Impossible, ah! It's really difficult.

However, there is still time to plan these things now. He grew up in the palace environment and knows deeply that if he wants to get something, he needs to plan several times.

In fact, it is not difficult to avoid any worries about Xie Jiu's identity. As long as the people who know the details are eliminated, it can be hidden completely.

But he was not willing to use such a simple and crude method because he was still concerned about Wei Dong. Wei Dong had inadvertently mentioned to him many details of his childhood with Xie Jiu.

Weidong has a deep relationship with Xie Jiu and Xie Jiu's mother. He dare not take any risks when it comes to Weidong.

And the way Xie Jiuniang and Xie Jiu get along with each other is very unfamiliar to him as a prince.

He was somewhat envious of Xie Jiu for having such a lively mother. Although he heard from Wei Dong that she had a bad temper and would often chase Xie Jiu with a stick, Wei Dong never once said that Xie Jiu's mother had actually hurt Xie Jiu.

He had also heard that parents in the countryside were very rough in educating their children and would often raise their hands to beat their children, but he had never seen it. He only felt envious after hearing Wei Dong's narration and description.

That kind of life is what children’s childhood is really like.

The ladies in their palace are friendly, but you never know who might take someone else's life the moment they turn around.

As the saying goes: I'm not afraid of the angry Vajra, but I'm afraid of the smiling Bodhisattva!

Everyone in the palace wears several layers of masks. No one shows their true face to others. People with simple minds will not live long.

He is with Wei Dong now, and he is very envious of Xie Jiu for living such a happy life when he was young. In his childhood, his mother could not catch up with Xie Jiu even with a feather duster.

She was a mother who truly loved her children.

Because of her inferiority complex, King Dongshan's mother never dared to compete with others.

So she lived an extremely difficult life. The servants in the palace were very discerning about the people they treated, so this young lady from Dongshan was like a nobody.

When alive, he was looked down upon by everyone, and when he died, he died quietly, as if he did not dare to cause trouble to anyone.

If she could protect him like Xie Jiu's mother did, he wouldn't have to face all the malice when he was a child, and he wouldn't have to kill people at such a young age.

It was difficult for him to survive on his own, and he had to protect his cowardly mother, so his situation was naturally even more difficult.

But his mother died early.

Without the emperor's favor, no one would pay attention to children even if they had them. Moreover, the previous emperor had many descendants, and only those with a backer would be qualified to be valued and treated preferentially.

He is an evil ghost that crawled back from the dark hell.

So he was even more greedy for the clean and sunny smell of Weidong. He had been able to analyze the pros and cons since he was a child. How could he not calculate if he wanted to live a good life?

Now, for the first time, he no longer felt like scheming, and he wanted to treat Wei Dong honestly, but it seemed that God liked to play tricks on him.

His encounter with Weidong destined him to rely on deception to get all the good things from Weidong. He wanted to confess to Weidong countless times, but when he thought about the possibility of losing Weidong, he no longer had the courage.

King Dongshan slowly raised his head and looked up at the endless sky. Above this vast grassland, countless bright stars twinkled in the starry sky.

He gazed quietly at the starry sky, feeling a sense of tranquility and awe in his heart.

He prayed silently in his heart: Leave Weidong to me! I am willing to exchange anything I have for him.

The night on the grassland is exceptionally quiet, with only the sound of the breeze blowing through the grass and the occasional chirping of insects.

He thought of the hardships he had experienced, and all those difficulties and obstacles gradually dissipated like passing clouds. At this moment, facing the vast starry sky, his mood became broad.

This place is so beautiful, it would be nice for him and Weidong to live on the grassland forever. No one here knows King Dongshan, and no one knows the real Xie Jiu, so there is no risk of their identities being exposed!

But this is impossible, why are you going crazy?

The grassland under the starry sky also looks particularly beautiful, with the green grass swaying in the wind, like a green ocean gently rippling.

The outline of the mountains in the distance is vaguely visible, giving people a calm and heavy feeling. Dongshan Wang took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the breath of the earth, as if he had merged with this land.

This place is far away from his original life, and he seems to have really turned himself into Xie Jiu. When he returns to the familiar place, can he still continue to be Xie Jiu?

I'm afraid even my royal brother won't let him go. He is the Si Dian appointed by his royal brother himself. It's a rare period of freedom for him on the grassland. He can get away with it by using the excuse of recuperating.

In the future...he wanted to continue to have a future with Weidong.

Then he would have to start new planning early, this was the only thought he had.

If you want your brother not to object, you must give a reasonable reason.

Then I have to bring out the bargaining chips that my brother is interested in. Can I get the crossbows from the Weidong caravan? Or the thoroughbred horses?

Which one is not what the emperor brother likes, thinks, and wants! However, King Dongshan is unwilling to act in this way. If Wei Dong is not here, he will definitely hand these things to the emperor brother without hesitation in exchange for benefits.

But now, all these things belong to Weidong. How could he be willing to exchange Weidong's things for benefits?

Then he had to find another way. He thought of the horse bandit. This man might be a breakthrough if used well. He walked to the pillar where the horse bandit was tied up and kicked the man who closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Zhang Laoliu raised his eyelids passively, then closed his eyes again.

Xie Jiu squatted down and asked him: "Have you figured it out? Why did you want to be silenced?"

Zhang Laoliu squinted at him, his hoarse voice sounding particularly harsh: "I'm going to die anyway, why bother thinking about that."

Xie Jiu sneered disdainfully: "If you really want to die, you don't have to suffer here. Who can stop you if you want to die? If you want to survive, you must have the value of surviving. Otherwise, why waste food to feed useless people?"

Zhang Laoliu thought unconvincedly, you black-hearted person, have you given me a bite of your food? Value? You have swept all the property in my village, and it is not value?
