There was a reason why Uncle Zhou was so sure that the second prince was of Di Zaiying's bloodline.
That night, he and Liu Xi worked hard to send Di Zaiying into the harem. He personally guarded outside the palace, knowing that the princess and Di Zaiying had had a romantic relationship.
Early the next morning, he sent Di Zaiying out of the palace at the princess's command.
When he returned to the Golden Jade Palace, the Dog Emperor had already arrived and stayed here that night.
He knew that the princess could not resist the dog emperor. The princess had to commit herself to the dog emperor for the sake of the Northern Kingdom.
He felt sad and angry, feeling sorry that the princess and Di Zaiying's lover could not finally get married, but he had no choice but toss and turn all night long.
The next day he got up early and saw Chu Rou secretly pouring something into the bushes behind the palace.
Chu Rou was cautious and even grabbed the soil to bury the dumped things.
He was uneasy and kept a close eye on it. After Chu Rou left, he took a peek and found that it was actually medicine dregs!
He was worried that something had happened to the princess without telling them, so he took some medicine residue and went to see Liu Xi.
Liu Xi knew some medical skills. When he saw it, he said, this is obviously a medicine to avoid children!
He was shocked, but when he came to his senses, he was ecstatic!
After the dog emperor forced the princess, the princess drank the anti-child medicine!
But when she was with Di Zaiying yesterday, the princess didn't drink!
He also secretly asked Liu Xi whether the anti-pregnant medicine would still be effective if taken one day apart. Liu Xi shook his head and said that the best effect would be if the anti-pregnant medicine was taken immediately on the same day, but it would be of little use if taken one day later.
He couldn't describe the joy in his heart. Since the princess would drink the anti-child medicine after the dog emperor forced her to do so, if good news comes soon, it should be Di Zaiying's child!
From that day on, he prayed day and night!
After some time, the princess was indeed diagnosed as pregnant. He was not completely sure, so he muttered something about Di Zaiying in front of the princess.
The princess did not refute him at that time!
From that moment on, he firmly believed from the bottom of his heart that this child belonged to the princess and Di Zaiying, and was of pure Northern blood!
Next, as long as this child is promoted to the position of emperor, won't the Yong Dynasty easily become the prey of their northerners?
Uncle Zhou thought he had guessed Yu Liu's thoughts and plans.
If Aunt Rou knew that Uncle Zhou's result was deduced like this, she would really want to take Uncle Zhou to the pillar and die together!
This medicine was prepared on the morning before Di Zaiying left, and the princess also drank it. She wanted to dispose of the medicine residue immediately, but Emperor Yong arrived early.
Huang Pei, who was with Emperor Yong, was very clever. Aunt Rou was worried that he would find out the clues, so she hid the medicine dregs first.
As a result, Emperor Yong stayed until night and stayed directly in Jinhua Palace. She was busy waiting on him and had no time to deal with it.
After finally waiting until the next morning, Emperor Yong took Huang Pei to the morning court early. The princess was tired and still asleep, so she quietly went out and poured out the medicine dregs.
Aunt Rou would never have imagined that while she was on every possible precaution against Emperor Yong and Huang Pei, she would accidentally cause a huge misunderstanding with Uncle Zhou!
Uncle Zhou thought he had an insight into Yu Liu's plan. After all, this way they could easily complete the theft of the country.
Little did he know that Yu Liu was far superior to him in both structure and strategy, and it was impossible for him to leave such a fatal flaw for the second prince.
After all, she still has to consider, what if the child in her belly looks like the father? If the bloodline is wrong, wouldn't everything be lost from the beginning?
As for Uncle Zhou mentioning Di Zaiying in front of her, she didn't refute it, and she meant it.
If the child is born like her, this misunderstanding will make these followers and people from her mother country spare no effort to help the child in her belly.
Yu Liu calculated everything, including everyone including herself.
But she never imagined that such a small hesitation and thought at the beginning would turn into the sharpest knife stabbing the second prince more than ten years ago!
And the initiator of all this was Zhou Liu, her carefully selected follower brought over from the North!
Destiny is so unpredictable.
The help that was expected to be high at the beginning has now become a troublemaker. In the game of a group of smart people, a small deviation is enough to overturn the overall situation...
Under the pressure of Uncle Zhou's series of words, the second prince slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air in his chest and nodded gently.
There was never a way out for him.
In this pool of mud, he was the deepest and darkest mass.
Countless nastiness grew around him, already invading his bone marrow, eating away at his flesh and blood, and nourishing his ambition.
Now, he can only move forward bravely and climb to the top while stepping on this blood!
Perhaps on that day, he would be able to poke his head out of the mud and truly feel what it was like to live without being controlled.
When Uncle Zhou saw the second prince nodding his head, his heart suddenly fell to the ground.
Yes, His Highness was brought up by him.
He has already taught His Highness so many things about the Northern Kingdom, so His Highness naturally has a deeper affection for the Northern Kingdom than for the Yong Kingdom.
But this incident has sounded a wake-up call to Uncle Zhou. If His Highness is not informed of his life experience as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles!
Thinking of this, Uncle Zhou limped up to the second prince on crutches.
When he confirmed that there were secret guards guarding the house, Uncle Zhou suddenly held the second prince's hand tightly, lowered his voice and said with tears in his eyes:
"Your Highness, this old slave knows that you will not let the princess or us down."
"Your Highness, actually...there is something that I have been hiding from you for more than ten years. I think it may be time to tell you."
The second prince saw the tears rolling down Uncle Zhou's face, and for some reason, he felt a sense of fear in his heart.
The last time Uncle Zhou showed such an expression was when he was four years old.
He had just become a governor at that time, and he didn't understand why he didn't have a mother or concubine, why his father never came to see him, and why everyone in the palace looked down on him.
Later, in the dim palace, Uncle Zhou also had the same expression. He bowed and took his hand, and said something that changed his life.
It turns out that he has foreign blood flowing in his body, it turns out that his mother and concubine died for him, it turns out that everyone in the palace, and even his father, are his enemies!
Time goes by, and it seems like the same scene happened again. What does Uncle Zhou want to say now?
Uncle Zhou pursed his lips that were dry due to excessive nervousness, looked into the eyes of the second prince, and said word by word:
"Your Highness, actually... you are not the blood of Emperor Yong. Your biological father... is someone else!"
The words penetrated into the ears, and a strong wind swept through them.
The second prince swayed slightly, and suddenly felt that the wound on his shoulder was burning so much that he couldn't help but throw away Uncle Zhou's hand.
But when Uncle Zhou saw this, he immediately grabbed the second prince's sleeve again and said quickly:
"Your Highness, Di Zaiying! Do you still remember the name Di Zaiying? He...he is your biological father!"
