How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Everything goes wrong.

Shen Yuan believed the "slander" and thought that he was a corrupt villain and was unwilling to be associated with him.

He just wanted to make some money and run away! What did he do wrong? !

Maybe it was because he always wanted to win over Shen Yuan and got too close to Shen Yuan, but Xie Jinyu started to make advances towards him again, wanting him to go to the East Palace to sleep with her. She acted gentle and refined in front of others, but whispered her morbid love to him behind their backs.

"Second brother, are you tired of being alone?"

"It's really unfair. I will always love my second brother."

"Second brother, second brother? Second brother..."

The memory was too dark, and Zhou Ze subconsciously wanted to forget it.

When Xie Jinyu and Shen Yuan went to Yizhou, he really hoped that Xie Jinyu would die outside.

Too bad he's back.

She also wrote him many disgusting letters.

During this period, he tried to escape countless times, but was brought back by Wuhen and Wuji every time. As the day of Xie Jinyu's return was approaching, he became more and more irritable, and began to develop violent tendencies, and began to punish Wuhen and Wuji.

After being punished, I felt very sad about myself.

Is he going to repeat the same mistake again, torturing himself and Concubine Hua, and then starting to torture Wuhen Wushi?

After Xie Jinyu came back, she vented all her anxiety about separation on him.

"Does my second brother miss me in the palace?"

"I was in Yizhou and almost died. I survived because of my second brother."

"Brother, please take care of me...Brother, I feel uncomfortable here..."

"When I become the emperor, I will imprison my second brother in the harem and let him look after me alone."

Zhou Ze wants to die.

What sin had he committed in his previous life? Was it because he shouldn't have given Jiang Luo'er that book of poetry, so God treated him like this?

Shen Yuan always complains that his master pays too much attention to brotherhood. Can he open his eyes wide and see what kind of lunatic his master really is?

Zhou Ze found it hard to say this and hated Shen Yuan for being blind.

Xie Jinyu's behavior became more and more outrageous.

And the eldest prince also came back.

The look in his eyes when he looked at himself was not quite innocent.

Not only is it not simple, it is also very complicated. Zhou Ze can't explain it. The eldest prince is so distant to him. Originally, he sympathized with the eldest prince's army being annihilated, but when he heard that his army did not discriminate between men and women, he was so scared that he retreated ten thousand miles.

The Jian'an Dynasty was so terrible.

Zhou Ze wanted to leave.

On that snowy night in Liaozhou, Zhou Ze, who was pissed off by Shen Yuan, deliberately punished Shen Yuan by making him kneel in the snow without leaving any trace, and then ran away with the small bag on his back.

The gold in the small bag was really heavy. Xie Chengze had a cold body and his strong bones couldn't stand his weak body. He didn't walk far before he was frozen like a dog. He started to have a fever and sneeze all over.

Zhou Ze squatted under the snowy tree, thinking, why not just die.

Those people in the palace, including Wuhen Wuzhi, all wanted Xie Chengze, not him Zhou Ze.

It’s time for Zhou Ze to disappear.

But Shen Yuan saved him.

The moment he was found by Shen Yuan and put on the fur cloak that Shen Yuan brought, Zhou Ze was still a little moved. He thought Shen Yuan was such a good man. But when he went back and found that those grain carts had been given to the prince and Shen Yuan thought he was deliberately pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy, he simply wanted Wuhen and Wuji to strangle Shen Yuan to death.

It’s all because of his kindness.

Not killing anyone is Zhou Ze’s final bottom line.

Later, this bottom line was broken.

Zhou Ze didn't know how he had come to this point.

Perhaps he was bewitched by Sheng Shihuai and thought that he could control the increasingly paranoid Xie Jinyu if he became emperor; perhaps the Cao family was afraid that he was favored by Emperor Jian and began to purge his followers and even killed his people; or perhaps it was the repeated assassinations in the party struggles that made him psychologically distorted in fear.

Or maybe, on that snowy night, when he realized that he could not escape the palace, could not escape Xie Chengze's body, and could not escape Xie Jinyu, he had already changed.

This is a process that gets progressively worse.

After participating in the struggle for imperial power, experiencing assassinations, and seeing wealth and glory, Zhou Ze experienced fear, self-destruction, loss, and indulgence. Eventually, he began to embezzle, accept bribes, form cliques, and gradually learned to be ruthless.

He had no martial arts skills and began to fear that Wuhen and Wuji would betray him.

He was worried that as time went by, the two's feelings for Xie Chengze would fade and they would be unwilling to protect him, so he kept testing Wuhen and Wuji, and with his resentment for their reluctance to let him go, he punished them cruelly and violently.

Even though he has become so violent, they still don't leave or kill him, which shows that they are still loyal to Xie Chengze and are willing to continue protecting this body.

Zhou Ze, who was increasingly feeling insecure, began to use this kind of violence to constantly confirm whether Wuhen and Wuji would not betray him.

He gradually fell into depravity.

The one who lured Zhou Ze into depravity was Sheng Shihuai.

He is the only man besides Shen Yuan who is not obsessed with his face and doesn't care whether he is the real Xie Chengze.

He was ambitious and powerful, and he only cared about the throne, not emotions.

He took Zhou Ze to see the filth and darkness of officialdom, as well as another form of glory and wealth. He and he had the same idea. He needed him to be a puppet emperor for a short period of time, and he also needed him to help him ascend the throne and escape from Xie Jinyu's control.

Ten years is too long.

Zhou Ze, who was once gentle, friendly and approachable, has long since changed and has become cruel and ruthless, with no regard for human life.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the heart that hates Long Yang's kindness.

He didn't like Su Qinghe. The way he looked at Shen Yuan was not innocent. Moreover, he hated men who cried all the time. Every time they met, he seemed to be bullied by him.

He also didn't like Jing Ze. Zhu Xiaobiao had deliberately angered him and even named all the people he hated in front of him, obviously trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife. He later asked Wuhen Wuzhi to investigate and found out that the county magistrate's wife could make terrible drugs, so he killed this person. Later, he found out that the prefect of Jizhou was Sheng Shihuai's man. Fortunately, Sheng Shihuai didn't hate him for this, but used it as a token of his loyalty.

At that time, Zhou Ze learned that Zhu Xiaobiao had many concubines, so he did not make things difficult for them and gave them a way to live.

Who would have thought that later, the man named Jing Ze actually teamed up with those concubines to kill him. He had given this lousy male concubine a chance to live, but he actually came to assassinate him? Just for a mere Zhu Xiaobiao?

At that time, Zhou Ze no longer had the patience he had before. He directly ordered his men to kill Jing Ze, who might be fond of men, and his concubines.

He also hated Xie Shoujun. He always tried to find the shadow of Xie Chengze's childhood in him. He also wanted to use himself to kill Emperor Jian and Xie Jinyu. However, he was one step behind and was secretly killed by Xie Jinyu.

As for Xie Zimiao.

I can’t say I like it, nor can I say I hate it.

This child's eyes are too innocent, and he's a little afraid of himself. He's not like Xie Jinyu, a crazy person who's in love with her brother and likes to make moves.

Zhou Ze decided that when he became emperor, he would revise the Jian'an laws and prohibit the affair between Longyang and Yang!

Well, he failed.

When Zhou Ze was stabbed to death by Shen Yuan's sword on the dragon throne, blood spurted from the corners of his lips and he thought, this moment has finally come.

He knew that Xie Jinyu was not dead.

He also knew that Xie Jinyu had long begun to suspect that he was not Xie Chengze, but had no evidence. He knew it when Xie Jinyu always looked at his body with deep and unfamiliar eyes and began to secretly look for a master to ask for advice on the study of the soul.

In Xie Jinyu's heart, his second brother would never become a self-degrading bastard like him.

Concubine Hua was right, he was a fake.

Not a lucky star.

He can't even save himself, how can he save others?

After fighting with Xie Jinyu and Shen Yuan for ten years, Zhou Ze was really tired. Wuhen and Wuji were already dead, and his final revenge on Xie Jinyu was to make "Xie Chengze" never come back and make Xie Jinyu lose Xie Chengze forever.

He, a dead man, can finally rest in peace.

-

Second world.

The "nineteen-year-old" second prince suddenly found that he could not control Xie Chengze's body one day.

Xie Chengze is back.

He curled up in the corner of this body, looking at his soul which was gradually fading away, feeling somewhat confused and relieved.

The original owner of the body has returned.

He was finally going to escape from this body that did not belong to him, escape from Jian'an, and escape from those who were looking forward to Xie Chengze's return.

It’s a pity that my mother can’t see it.

The only thing he could be thankful for in his life was that Emperor Jian believed from beginning to end that he was Xie Chengze and loved him. The only regret he had was that Emperor Jian never believed that he and Xie Chengze were not the same person.

The second prince's soul was in a very unstable state, and should have dissipated little by little, but occasionally it would suddenly become thicker for some reason, causing Xie Chengze's memory of the past ten years to be intermittent. Fortunately, Xie Chengze was wholeheartedly working for the people and did not notice anything unusual.

As his soul dissipated, his consciousness became increasingly blurred. At first he could not see, then he could not hear, and finally he became no different from air.

On that day in Liaozhou, after Xie Chengze fainted from a nosebleed on the glacier, Zhou Ze completely disappeared.
