Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

It's really hard to predict what will happen in this world.

The next day, before the sun climbed up the hillside, Prince Li Xin sent someone to invite Zhao Sheng.

"Zhao Long, take Zhao Zhen back first, but don't go back to Shigang Village first, but go to..." Zhao Sheng instantly felt something was wrong and quietly arranged the follow-up matters, and Zhao Zhen was unaware of this.

The guards of the palace knew that the people from the side courtyard were going to leave early in the morning, so they did not stop them.

Zhao Sheng followed the messenger to the main hall of the palace, where only Li Xin and Li Shuya were sitting.

"Junior greets His Majesty." Zhao Sheng didn't want to reveal who he was, so he tried to test Li Xin's purpose first. He was not at all nervous at this moment.

"Yesterday, my daughter told me that her sixth brother is here. It would be impolite for him to not see an elder like me. Please sit down and have a bowl of porridge with me!"

Zhao Sheng was startled. What was going on? Could it be...

Without giving him time to think, he licked his face and said honestly, "Well, porridge is very good. I hurt my stomach yesterday because of drinking. Although I have been using honey to treat it, it is still not good for my stomach. In the future, Your Highness should not drink so much. I will give alcohol to the wounded soldiers to treat their injuries."

"Ah!" Li Xin was startled and asked, "You mean, what I drank yesterday wasn't wine, but alcohol?"

Zhao Sheng curled his lips and said, "Alcohol, as the name suggests, is the essence of wine. You would get drunk even if you drank from a jar normally. What's more, you drank a bowl of alcohol yesterday, which is equivalent to a jar of wine, and you drank it so fast!"

"Oh, so that's how it is. I'll drink less next time!" Li Xin suddenly realized.

"Next time, have Captain Zhou bring over a few jars of wine. A bowl of wine is equivalent to half a jar. Drink slowly and take small sips, and eat more food."

"Besides, drinking a little can make you happy, but drinking too much can harm your health!" Zhao Sheng added.

Li Xin touched his beard, thought about the taste of yesterday's wine, and thought to himself: Such delicious wine, I have to be careful next time!

"Why don't you see the general who was with you yesterday?"

"That old bastard ran back to the barracks at daybreak. He was too embarrassed to see me after learning about his drunken behavior yesterday."

After Li Xin finished speaking, he clapped his hands on the table and laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward.

Seeing her father's attitude, Li Shuya advised, "Father, can't you be more restrained in front of Sixth Brother?"

Li Xin naturally knew who this Sixth Brother was, but seeing his daughter like this, his heart was as clear as a mirror, and he knew what his daughter was thinking.

"Okay, okay! I'm a little tired from my hangover, so I'll go take a rest first. You accompany your sixth brother and have a good meal of porridge."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the hall with a smile, and from time to time he said: "He is really a Sixth Brother, he is the Sixth Brother!"

The prince's name was Li Xin, and he was given the surname Zhao, so he was called Zhao Xin. He had no children. His wife's younger brother's sixth son was engaged to Li Shuya, so he became Zhao Xin's son-in-law and also changed his surname to Zhao. Unexpectedly, he died in a foreign war.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Mr. Zhao said that he was the sixth brother and his surname was Zhao.

Moreover, Zhao Sheng is only a name, without a pseudonym. In other words, the ancients had many ways to call him, as long as the surname is correct, it will be fine.

He walked out of the palace in the name of Sixth Brother, and those who didn't know the truth would not ask any questions.

After dinner, Zhao Sheng rode his horse quickly to chase Zhao Zhen, and it took him about half an hour to catch up.

"Sir, are you alright?"

"Well, he just recognized me as his adopted son!"

Zhao Sheng brushed off the question vaguely, but he was actually still a little nervous. He knew in the palace that these foreign princes had secret reports submitted to the court every day.

If nothing happens, it's fine. But if something happens, the emperor will definitely be the first to know.

He was not sure whether the emperor knew about his sixth brother's death in battle.

Or maybe the prince was gambling, and the people who were monitoring him would only report that he was drunk. As for the names of the people who came to his house, these people in secret probably didn't bother to find out.

Otherwise, these people would be exhausted all day long.

"Zhao Long, remember from now on that the owner of Zhenzhongyuan is Zhao Zhen. She is the niece of County Magistrate Zhao Guangyi. Keep a consistent tone to the outside world."

The guards who accompanied them along the way were all carefully selected loyal servants. They just listened to what their master said and never asked why.

When the yard was being built, Zhao Sheng had said that it was for her, so Zhao Zhen didn't find it strange. As long as her brother was here, it didn't matter who owned the house.

"Brother Long, there are two ragged men ahead. One of them appears to be dead, and an elderly woman is grieving beside them. Should we take a detour to prevent the spread of disease?"

"Okay, stay a little further away." Zhao Long ordered.

It was already bright outside, and two people could be seen clearly on the road ahead: one was lying on the ground, and the other was a woman crying beside him.

Seeing a passerby passing by, the woman ran up and knelt down: "Kind man, please give me something to eat. My husband is dying."

The guard stopped the woman who was coming with a long stick. Zhao Sheng also looked over and felt that the voice sounded familiar.

Zhao Zhen in the carriage did the same, lifting the curtain to look over.

Zhao Zhen is different now than before. Not only is she dressed in gorgeous clothes and covered in jewels, but her face is also much whiter and more beautiful.

Although the old woman took a peek, she didn't dare to spy for long.

"Zhen'er, do you think it looks like..." Zhao Sheng didn't say much. Since Zhao Zhen lifted the curtain of the car, it meant that they had the same idea.

"There are some pastries and water in the car that I brought this morning. Let's give them to the woman first to save her life!"

Zhao Zhen spoke to Zhao Sheng in a pleading tone.

"Who dares not to obey the princess's words? Come, bring the food to the woman."

The order had been given, and Zhao Long's men quickly took the food and handed it to the old woman kneeling on the ground.

"Thank you, thank you, kind man!" The woman kowtowed several times and ran towards the person lying on the ground with food.

"Let's wait a while before leaving, maybe it is." Zhao Sheng hinted to Zhao Zhen.

At this time, the girl was already in tears, and it was obvious that she recognized who was in front of her.

Zhao Sheng dismounted, walked to the front of the carriage, and whispered, "Take it back?"

"No!" Zhao Zhen shook her head. When she was injured and Zhao Sheng was carrying her on his back, they left her to Zhao Sheng so heartlessly without considering what kind of person Zhao Sheng was or whether he had the ability to protect her.

Zhao Sheng understood Zhao Zhen's feelings, but he didn't want to persuade her any further. He just sighed and said, "Everyone has a selfish side, but after all, they are your parents who gave birth to you. Sometimes giving them a chance is also giving yourself a chance."

Who doesn't have parents? His mother is still working as a servant in the palace, and she can do nothing about her son's life or death.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen cried even more.

"Brother, if I take them back, will you leave me?"

"You will always be my sister. I will never abandon you. However, you must handle this matter well. If you don't handle it well, it will be a double-edged sword. Do you still remember Zhao Erniu's father?"

This reminder did make Zhao Zhen alert. Based on the mistakes his parents had made in the past, he could not guarantee that bringing the child back would cause trouble for Zhao Sheng.

"How about this, Zhao Erniu's house is empty now. Erniu lives with us anyway, so we can arrange for him to live there. We'll first arrange for him to get medical treatment and save his life. As long as he's willing to work, he won't starve to death in Shigang Village."

As for the Zhenzhong Courtyard, not everyone can enter. It contains too many secrets, including the future livelihood of the people of Zhao County.
