The crown prince ascended the throne directly!

Zhao Siwei suddenly appeared, and since quite a few people already know about her background, both of them will be wiped out!

Zhao Siwei naturally understood the crucial point, but the memory of Zhong Youling seemed to be of paramount importance.

It's best if it reminds him.

"There's a type of poison that can alter a person's memories; it's very common in the north. I think you've been infected with it."

He looked at the things on the table that Zhong Youling had been given to drink.

This is brewed by the mother insect that the Gu worm fears. Once drunk, and with proper guidance and reflection, it can awaken many memories.

However, memories sealed in this way can be extremely deadly to the person poisoned by the Gu.

"Hey!" Zhang Zhan saw Zhong Youling gagging and even vomiting a pool of acid, and decided to knock him unconscious.

"No." Zhong Youling raised her hand, her voice urgent. "I... I think I've seen you before..."

Zhang Zhan stopped grabbing the flowerpot.

Zhong Youling looked at him and said, "You, you should be my cousin."

I seem to remember a woman holding a little baby and showing it to her.

It's a newborn baby.

Say: This is your younger brother, isn't he handsome?

It's really ugly.

Zhang Zhan almost dropped the vase in his hand, and Zhao Siwei stood up.

When he first saw Zhong Youling, more than the astonishment of those around him about his face, his first thought was...

—Is this person some kind of relative of Zhang Zhan?

No matter how he investigated or interrogated, it had absolutely no connection to anything.

"What...what did he say?" Zhang Zhan stammered, feeling even more shocked than when Zhao Siwei said he was his younger brother. "Cousin? If he's my older cousin, then my mother would be his mother's sister?"

He seemed to still think he might be wrong, forgetting about Zhao Siwei.

He had little memory of the woman named Luozhu; he mostly heard about her from others.

Zhao Siwei didn't dare say a word, but his gaze returned to the case file, which was now two-thirds missing.

The information about the Zhong family members has been lost; there is only a few people with the surname Xu, and only a few scattered details about the female members.

The fragments in Zhong Youling's mind began to crowd out, automatically connecting everything.

Zhong Youling looked at the spacious and luxurious mansion in front of him, then at the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of him, and a little boy reciting his lessons.

This little boy is himself, but he looks much shorter.

"Yan-ge'er, stop carrying me. Come on, let me take you to see your aunt."

Zhong Youling looked at the woman pulling Xiao Xuyan; her features were still not clear enough, but he could vaguely make out that she was a very beautiful woman.

As the scene changed, Zhong Youling finally got a clear view.

"Yan-ge'er, this is your aunt, quickly greet her."

“Luozhu, this is your brother-in-law.”

“You are Zhenniang’s younger sister. She always says you are like a celestial being. Today, she was still being modest.”

He believed the woman named Luozhu when she claimed to be the goddess Luo descended to earth.

The conversation continues with Luo Zhu saying that he wants to enter the palace, while Luo Zhen and his father Xu Zheng are trying to stop him.

The scene is starting to change.

Yellow tiles and red walls—that's the imperial palace.

Zhong Youling saw Luo Zhu dressed as a palace maid talking to Xiao Xuyan. Xiao Xuyan showed her a letter that Luo Zhen had given her.

The two sisters were exchanging messages through Xiao Xuyan.

Luo Zhu then touched her belly and then patted Xiao Xu Yan's head.

"Is Auntie feeling unwell?" Xu Yan took Luo Zhu's hand and took her pulse.

While taking her pulse, she said, "My mother has been getting very close to Mrs. Ji lately. She even said that if she gives birth to a little sister, she'll arrange a marriage between us. Aunt, are you pregnant?"

Luo Zhu'er gave a bitter smile.

The scene then shifts to a charming courtyard.

Luo Zhen was holding Luo Zhu and crying; Luo Zhu's belly was already swollen.

After taking her pulse, Xu Zheng said, "It should be a prince."

Luo Zhu said, "Then she should leave. Having another prince would be good for her. If it's a daughter, I'll take her with me and raise her."

The screen changed again.

Xu Yan was being carried into the carriage by his grandfather, Xu Jinwei. Xu Yan's mouth was covered as he looked at his parents, who were crying and waving goodbye.

Then the scene became familiar.

Wutong Town.

Xu Jinwei was refusing gifts of thanks, while he was reading nearby. His nanny was doing chores, and his mother, Luo Zhen, was doing needlework inside the house.

They were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, and their names were something like "Zhong" or "Zhong".

Then, one afternoon, there was a knock on the door, and Luozhu opened it.

My grandfather sent him to town to buy things, and when he came back, there was a huge fire.

Luo Zhu's face was burned, so he had no choice but to take her away. After settling her in, he went back and found people surrounding her, making sure that the people inside would be burned to death.

The image freezes in time.

Zhongyouling has returned to the display.

Zhang Zhan was patting his back.

He remembered it all.

He looked at a scar on his right wrist.

This was left behind by Luozhu when she used the Gu worm.

—"Remember, your grandfather told you that you can never go back to Wutong Town again."

"Be cautious and careful. If you like medicine, you can find a good teacher to learn from, but don't go to the capital."

"You must stay alive. It's okay to be a coward. The most important thing is to survive."

Zhang Zhan noticed that Zhong Youling's gaze towards him had changed from complex to hateful.

"It's all your fault!" Zhong Youling grabbed Zhang Zhan by the collar and was about to throw a punch at him.

Zhao Siwei grabbed him, "What's wrong? Why are you hitting me!"

"It was because your mother came to my house that my grandfather, wet nurse, and mother were burned to death!"

Zhang Zhan couldn't understand it at all.

Zhang Zhan then looked at Zhao Siwei and said, "It was your mother who hunted down my Xu family! She said that my Xu family caused her to bleed and that she set up a trap to kill us. Although the Xu family had no reputation in the Imperial Hospital at the time, their medical skills were superb. If Luo Zhu had given birth to Zhang Zhan and was willing to become a concubine, our family would have been promoted. How could your mother, who rose to power by shamelessness, be a match for Luo Zhu!"

“Good brother, let’s talk this out slowly. Zhang Zhan’s childhood wasn’t much better than yours.” Zhao Siwei reassured Zhong Youling. “Sit down, Zhang Zhan, pour some tea.”

Zhang Zhan quickly realized what was happening and went inside; the outside was already dirty.

Zhao Siwei was shocked. It turned out that these two were cousins!

Zhong Youling's eyes had changed as he looked at Zhao Siwei, "Your mother killed my whole family."

Even though Zhao Siwei knew that Consort Xian had done many foolish things, he never imagined she would do something like this.

Once inside, Zhong Youling explained everything he could remember.

Zhang Zhan was a little incredulous. "Does it mean... is it possible that Luo Zhu'er is still alive?"

"Who knows, if she were still alive, she would definitely come after you," Zhong Youling said, his timid demeanor suddenly vanishing. "I'm going to slap her a few times!"

Zhang Zhan: "If you hit her, you can't use medicine on me anymore."

Zhang Zhan's heart was pounding. He didn't know anything about his mother, so he could do without her.

His life is now in Zhong Youling's hands.

Zhong Youling stared at Zhang Zhan.

Ultimately, we must distinguish right from wrong; this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Zhan.

However, he will remember all the bad things Zhang Zhan did to him during this period, both openly and secretly.

Zhao Siwei's mind completely exploded.

Looking at it now, Zhong Youling's character and Zhang Zhan's are somewhat similar after he remembered things.

Zhong Youling was trained to be both left and right, but in the end, he ended up with Zhang Zhande as both left and right hands?

No, that's not the scariest part.

The most terrifying thing is that if these two suddenly turn on each other and act recklessly, he absolutely won't be able to control them.

“It wasn’t just your mother who killed my whole family; there were others too,” Zhong Youling said. “The Yan family, Prince Fan, Consort Xian, the Qian family of the Imperial Hospital…”

There seem to be many more, but the ones he can recite at this moment are probably the ones he hates the most.

Zhao Siwei wiped his face.

No wonder Old Mrs. Ji wanted to find Zhong Youling, and was certain that this person wouldn't be too bad.

Definitely not, they are children born and raised by everyone.

It ended with Zhong Youling having a headache.

Zhao Siwei put everything else aside and prepared to go find Tingyao.

Zhao Sicong had already sent people to urge them many times. Zhang Zhan accompanied Zhong Youling back to the house, saying, "I'm sorry."

“No need. You would have done the same to anyone. It’s only because I’m still somewhat useful that you haven’t killed me.” Zhong Youling pushed open the door. “We have nothing to do with each other. Let’s go our separate ways.”

The door closes.

Zhang Zhan received a disapproving look, and surprisingly, he didn't offer any opinions.

But thinking of the Yan family that Zhong Youling had mentioned, his eyes turned slightly cold.

Inside the closed door.

Zhong Youling knelt on the ground.

And the Meng family too.

The seeds of revenge were growing wildly in his heart.

He can now do many things using his medical skills.

Zhao Siwei helped him, but he was Consort Xian's child.

If Consort Xian were to die, he could then focus on helping Zhao Siwei.

He was aware of Zhao Siwei's feelings for Tingyao.

Okay, then we'll wait until next month to figure out a solution.

He shouldn't have said everything at once; Zhao Siwei was probably trying to prevent him from going in.

and many more.

Zhong Youling pushed open the door and asked the man guarding him, "Where is Zhang Zhan?"

The guard was a little confused by Zhang Zhan's name, as Zhong Youling had always addressed him as "Prince".

Zhang Zhan turned around upon hearing Zhong Youling's voice. Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, he dismissed the guards.

"Consort Xian has harmed us both. Do you want to kill her with me?"

Zhang Zhan looked at him.

Zhong Youling knew there was hesitation in his silence.

"Zhao Jiu is a good person."

“I know, so I will bear the consequences of killing Consort Xian, and all you need to do is help me get close to Consort Xian.”

Zhang Zhan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Not going to help?" Zhong Youling said.

Zhang Zhan looked at him, unsure of what to say.

Zhong Youling turned to leave.

We shouldn't have expected Zhang Zhan to help; he always puts Zhao Siwei first.

Zhang Zhan: "Let's deal with everyone except Consort Xian first, and then we can talk, okay?"

It means that I can help you with anyone else.

Zhong Youling remained silent and simply left.

Zhang Zhan felt like there was another big bomb had been dropped.

Zhong Youling walked in the night, then raised her hand and pulled out the hairpin from her hair.

It was given to her by Ji Anzhi.

Since you've already decided to seek revenge, you can't accept this kind of thing.

The love in his heart was now completely overshadowed by the hatred of arguing and wiping out his clan.

Zhao Siwei, who had just left, did not reach the Ji family. On the way, he said that the front line had been defeated, which made Zhao Fucang so angry that he vomited blood.

This news shook the capital almost overnight.

Now we need to send reinforcements.

Being able to take on a critical mission in such a situation ensures a good chance of winning.

Only the Yan family and the Xu family.

Zhao Fucang was so angry that he fainted and then woke up. He leaned against the pillow and looked at his two sons and one son whose identity had not yet been revealed.

Zhang Zhan spoke the fastest: "If the Yan family goes, the Crown Prince's efforts will be in vain; if the Xu family goes, Zhao's principal wife at the end of September will be Xu Tutu."

Zhao Fucang absolutely did not want the Yan family to grow stronger.

Zhao Sicong said very seriously, "The Yan family in the north has been there many times. Although Duke Xu is also a fierce general, he has never been to the north."

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Zhao Siwei's mind was filled with images of Zhao Fu'er's marriage alliance in his previous life.

This absolutely must not happen.

It's clear that the problems were already discovered in Yongzhou back then, and the people involved were replaced and dealt with, so why did it still turn out like this?

Zhao Fucang naturally understood this as well, so his gaze fell on Zhao Siwei's face.

Zhao Siwei replied, "There are still people."

All three people were looking at him.

Zhao Siwei felt that God had helped him in this life.

"The Bai family."

Tingyao's maternal grandfather's family, the Bai family, had always been in the west. The northern warriors had reinforced them many times, so this was the best time for them to go.

After all, the Duke of Xu and the Yan family have been enjoying a comfortable life in the capital for the past two or three years, but the Bai family is not; they are all fighting to protect their country.

"The Bai family?" Zhao Fucang thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Announce them."

A smile appeared in Zhao Siwei's eyes as he cupped his hands in greeting: "Yes."

The news quickly reached the Ji family.

Tingyao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she laughed.

Shishi laughed, "In that case, by the end of the month, you might just be the official wife!"

Tingyao thought that God was really interesting.

As expected, it's the same as the first playthrough; the plot always returns to the main storyline, or rather, it's in a way that benefits her.

This is the place.

As long as the Bai family is chosen, and the Bai family is absolutely capable of winning, in the first playthrough, when Zhao Siwei went to the North to provide reinforcements, it was the Bai family that provided full assistance.

It seems that she, as the Ninth Imperial Consort, has already made a reservation for the banquet at the end of the month.

We'll have to see what the Xu family does next.

Night had just fallen when the Bai family received orders to go and provide reinforcements.

Browning visited the Ji family.

I came here specifically to see Tingyao, so I can't take too long. I'll get to the point quickly.

"His Highness will be selecting concubines at the end of the month. If you do not wish to become a concubine, I will send someone to inform His Highness immediately."

They came to ask Tingyao about her choice.

Tingyao: "I'm willing." She rarely spoke so frankly, "I like His Highness the Ninth Prince."

Browning paused for a moment, then patted Tingyao's head. "Don't worry, we'll definitely win. Your mother is gone, but the Bai family still exists!"

The palace banquet at the end of the month is just around the corner.

It was called a palace banquet, but it was actually a selection of imperial concubines.

All the girls who were shortlisted attended in their finest attire and would enter one by one. Zhao Siwei would then hand the jade ruyi to the candidate for the principal wife and the sachet to the candidate for the concubine.

Whether or not a concubine is chosen is up to us, but the principal wife must be decided today.

The most popular choices are Meng** and Ji Tingyao, who has suddenly gained attention.

But only these two people knew in their hearts that only Tingyao was elected today.
