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

Zhao Hui was walking alone in the imperial garden, his mind in turmoil, thinking over and over again about the many things that had happened recently.

At this moment, he felt mixed emotions, fear and excitement at the same time.

What he was afraid of was that Zhao Sheng actually held such a powerful weapon in his hand. If Zhao Sheng had ill intentions towards him, it would be easy, and his life would be in danger.

What’s exciting is that if they can make friends with Zhao Sheng, then the Great Zhou will not only enjoy peace and prosperity, but they may also have the opportunity to expand their territory and achieve great things.

As he walked along, he thought for a long time and finally made up his mind: no matter what, he must have a good relationship with Zhao Sheng.

"Draft an imperial decree, inviting Zhao Sheng from Luancheng to come to the capital immediately! I intend to appoint him as the Regent..."

Zhao Hui ordered loudly.

Wang Defa, who had been kneeling behind him, heard this and hurriedly responded respectfully: "I will go and ask the cabinet to draft the imperial edict."

Wang Defa spoke, and Zhao Hui suddenly turned around. A smile appeared on his face, and he said, "You guy, didn't I tell you to go and accept the punishment? Why are you still kneeling here?"

"Your Majesty, I am truly worried. If I go to accept my punishment, there will be no one to serve you, Your Majesty."

Wang Defa said in a low voice.

Only then did Zhao Hui notice that Wang Defa had been following him on his knees all the way, leaving a trail of bright red blood on the ground.

"Go down and go to the Imperial Hospital to see if you get hurt. Otherwise, there will be no one to serve me."

Zhao Hui said.

When Wang Defa heard the emperor's words, he was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

"I thank you for your grace, my Lord!"

Hearing Wang Defa's words, Zhao Hui couldn't help but sneered: "Okay, stop it. If you are sick, go see a doctor. What does it have to do with me?" Although he said this, Zhao Hui couldn't help feeling a little sour in his nose.

Wang Defa has been with her since childhood and is loyal to her. He has never had any second thoughts about her over the years.

Perhaps, among all the people around him, this eunuch was the only one he did not need to be on guard against.

Not long after, Fan Wenyuan walked into the imperial study, holding the imperial edict that had not yet been stamped with the imperial seal, and respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, does this imperial edict need to confirm Zhao Sheng's status as a prince?"

Zhao Hui pondered for a moment and slowly replied, "Just issue the decree in the name of my Sixth Brother."

Upon hearing this, Fan Wenyuan was slightly startled.

He knew in his heart that the emperor's actions had basically offended Zhao Hengzhen.

But now it is Zhao Hui sitting on the throne, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

After receiving Zhao Hui's order, Fan Wenyuan took his leave.

Not long after, he returned to the imperial study and presented the drafted and reviewed imperial edict to Zhao Hui.

……

a few days later.

The eunuch who announced the imperial decree arrived in Luancheng.

Zhao Sheng heard the imperial edict passed to him by Zhao Hui, which clearly mentioned two things.

First, he announced that he would return to the capital immediately; second, he crowned himself king, and a powerful regent.

Moreover, the imperial edict openly referred to himself as the Sixth Imperial Brother. This was the first time he publicly acknowledged his identity after his death was announced.

After Zhao Sheng heard the imperial edict, he did not immediately step forward to receive it. Instead, he said to the eunuch with a smile:

"My dear father-in-law, you have worked hard on this journey. Please go down and rest for a while. I have some important matters to discuss with my family."

After saying this, he turned around and ordered Wu Sikai, the chief steward of the front yard of the Princess's Mansion, to take the imperial edict.

The eunuch knew that Zhao Sheng was now the emperor's brother and would soon become the regent, and he could not afford to offend him.

Anyway, the decree has been read out, so he doesn't care who will receive it. As long as Zhao Sheng does not disobey the decree in person, his mission will be successfully completed.

After the eunuch left, Zhao Sheng hurriedly sent someone to invite Zhao Yongsheng, while he went to find Li Shuya first.

"My husband, why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Shuya's belly was already noticeably bulging at this time. She walked over slowly with her back straight and asked softly.

"Today, the emperor issued an edict to me, appointing me as regent. Apparently, he wants me to leave Luancheng."

Zhao Sheng supported Li Shuya and whispered in her ear.

Li Shuya found a chair and sat down slowly. She looked up at Zhao Sheng and said, "Something seems a little wrong!"

"It's indeed a bit unusual. I've sent someone to ask Yongsheng to come over. Let's hear what he has to say later."

As Zhao Sheng spoke, he also sat down beside him, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Shuya.

Li Shuya took the tea with one hand and gently stroked her belly with the other, saying thoughtfully, "The baby will be born soon, but I don't know whether it will be a boy or a girl."

Zhao Sheng understood that Li Shuya was worried at the moment, and hurriedly comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. I just don't want to go to the capital. I want to hear your thoughts..."

Li Shuya knew clearly that disobeying the emperor's will would often have extremely serious consequences. Even if the emperor did not do anything to them at the moment, he would inevitably take action in the future, and if things went wrong, they would be sentenced to death.

According to Zhao Sheng's current means of survival, it seems that the only way out is to rise up and resist.

"Why did the emperor do this?" Li Shuya murmured to herself.

When asked this by Li Shuya, Zhao Sheng was suddenly speechless and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Just then, someone came to report that Zhao Yongsheng had arrived.

Although this is Li Shuya's backyard, the place where they meet is the living room.

Zhao Yongsheng was not an outsider to them, so they met directly in the living room of the back house.

After all, such conversations need to be kept strictly confidential and are relatively safe here.

Zhao Sheng repeated the whole story to Zhao Yongsheng.

Zhao Yongsheng pondered for a long time before slowly speaking, "The emperor has begun to fear the weapons in our hands. He appointed you as regent for other reasons. But for now, there won't be any danger."

After saying that, he glanced at Li Shuya, but in the end he couldn't hold back and didn't say some words.

Zhao Sheng also noticed that Zhao Yongsheng was acting strangely, but he didn't ask any further questions.

He stood up and said, "I don't think there's any danger for the time being. I just want to stay at home and spend time with my family."

As he spoke, he looked out the window again, and saw the scene of old trees and dead crows. He couldn't help feeling sad and sighed:

"In fact, I can guess that the emperor is also very worried right now. The Great Zhou needs reform and blood transfusion. He wants to use my power to achieve his own goals."

Li Shuya heard Zhao Sheng's thoughts, snuggled up to him and said, "My husband, our life is pretty good now. There's no need to fight for anything."

"Just because we don't fight doesn't mean others won't come and snatch it away. In fact, we can just walk away, but if we do, the people under our rule will probably be plunged into misfortune from now on!"

Zhao Sheng looked at the scenery outside the window and said with melancholy in his heart.

Everyone looked solemn, looked out the window, and fell into silence.
