There was a loud buzzing in the ears of the second prince. He froze in place and murmured again: "Di Zaiying..."
His memory is excellent. How could he forget a name he has heard once?
He even remembered Liu Yun's original words at that time. She said:
"Your Highness, there is one more thing. Di Zaiying, a northerner who assassinated the fourth prince a few days ago, was chopped into pieces and fed to dogs by His Majesty's order today."
No wonder...
No wonder Uncle Zhou lost his composure when he heard the news of Di Zaiying's death from Liu Yun.
His biological father?
So even his life experience is fake?
Uncle Zhou raised his head eagerly, and when he saw the second prince's lost expression, he suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart.
Did he push His Highness too hard?
But no matter how smart His Highness is, he is still young. If his temperament is changed by the Dog Emperor, wouldn't everything the princess planned be in vain?
Thinking of this, Uncle Zhou became determined again.
He nodded to the second prince and said with determination: "Your Highness, this is Di Zaiying! He is your biological father, and he died unjustly!"
"He is the crown prince of the Northern Kingdom. His original name is Di Qiu. In Ying, it was the name given to him by the princess herself. Only we know."
"He and the princess met by chance, and they fell in love. Prince Di was planning to propose marriage to the late king!"
"But the situation in the world is changing rapidly, and the country is facing a feud. In order to prevent the country from being destroyed, the princess resolutely severed relations with Prince Di and took the initiative to marry the Yong Dynasty!"
"Prince Di is an infatuated person. He abandoned everything in the capital and chased all the way to the Yong Dynasty. He took root in the capital in the name of Zaiying. He only hopes to see the princess again in his lifetime!"
"It was Lao Nu and Liu Xi who saw that the princess was depressed every day, so they risked their lives to send Prince Di to the palace. That's how they got you!"
"He...he is stupid. Perhaps in order to avenge the princess, he actually went deep into the tiger's den and became the enlightenment teacher of the fourth prince. However, because of the failed assassination, he was...by... ..”
At this point, Uncle Zhou was already in tears.
Prince Di is suave and talented, so perfect for the princess.
If fate had not played tricks on people, they should have become a couple.
"Your Highness, don't blame the princess, don't blame Crown Prince Di, they have no choice."
The second prince looked at Uncle Zhou blankly, but felt deep self-mockery in his heart.
The mother and concubine had no choice, and neither did Di Zaiying, but what about him...
He is the son of his mother-in-law and Di Zaiying. The mother-in-law also exchanged her life for his life to keep him in the palace. So did he become a person from the moment he was born, no, from the moment the mother-in-law was pregnant with him? Where is the chess piece used by the Northern Kingdom to overthrow the Yong Dynasty?
From the beginning, he was a pathetic pawn through and through!
The second prince's heart was agitated, and his whole body was as tense as a fully stretched string.
The next moment, he felt the wound on his shoulder burst open again, the stinging pain was immense, and the hot blood spread under the black brocade robe.
No one will notice that he is bleeding, no one will know that he is in pain, and no one will pity him...
"Uncle Zhou, you go out first."
The second prince spoke solemnly, his calm expression making Uncle Zhou feel a little at a loss.
He originally thought that His Highness would find it difficult to accept such a big thing, would shed tears, and would even blame him for concealing it.
But His Highness was so calm that he was slightly frightened.
In fact, His Highness has done a good enough job. He has unparalleled strategies and ruthless tactics. Even he can't figure out many of the strategies.
But I don’t know why, but such an outstanding Highness has suffered successive setbacks in the past two years, and has fallen into decline before his eyes.
"Your Highness..."
Uncle Zhou spoke dryly. He wanted to comfort him with something, but he didn't know where to start.
"go out!"
The second prince suddenly shouted in a low voice, with veins pulsing on his forehead and his face turned pale.
Uncle Zhou suddenly stirred up his spirit, and immediately responded with a solemn yes, and walked out three times with a cane.
Qiao Zhongguo had been very alert since Uncle Zhou's visit, always paying attention to what was going on in the second prince's house.
At this time, he suddenly heard the second prince's low voice, and his heart skipped a beat!
The second prince is deeply scheming and has a composure beyond his years. He rarely loses control of his emotions, unless...unless the news brought by Uncle Zhou is enough to break his defenses!
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo's expression changed slightly.
There are two major events in the capital now, one is the death of the Huguo Temple, and the other is the life experience of the second prince!
If he guessed correctly, Uncle Zhou might have discovered something strange in Huguo Temple, and then rushed over to report it.
But this shouldn't be enough to make the second prince lose his temper. Could it be that Uncle Zhou told the second prince what he believed to be his life experience?
Qiao Zhongguo felt that he should have guessed roughly.
His expression suddenly changed, he quickly entered the room and sent an urgent and secret letter to Beijing!
The original plan of the Qiao family and the prince was to catch the second prince off guard.
But when Uncle Zhou comes today, I am afraid that with the intelligence of the second prince, he will definitely guess the situation in the capital, and he will definitely fight back!
This is a tough battle without gunpowder, but can easily kill people. You come and I go, and you can't be negligent!
I hope that after the boss and Jiaojiao get the news, they can discuss the charter with His Royal Highness as soon as possible. He will definitely protect the second prince at all costs!
————
On the other side, Uncle Zhou hesitated before stepping out of the room. The second prince could no longer hold himself any longer and put his palm on the tea table.
The gauze could no longer cover the wound, and blood snaked down his arm and fell to the ground.
The second prince looked at the blood on the ground and was lost in thought. Uncle Zhou turned around and was about to close the door when he suddenly noticed the blood-stained palms of the second prince and couldn't help but whisper:
"Your Highness, your hand!"
"Someone! Call Doctor Zou quickly!"
Emperor Yong sent Dr. Zou to treat the second prince's injuries, and Uncle Zhou knew about it.
He also knew that the second prince would use cruel tricks, but he didn't know that after such a long time, the wound would still bleed!
Doctor Zou finally lay down to take a nap, but suddenly he heard a commotion outside, and then there was a strong knock on his door.
Doctor Zou secretly exclaimed: Oh my God, his old bones are really overworked!
He hurriedly stood up and opened the door. The secret guard next to the second prince had already entered the house with ease and carried the medicine box for him, dragging him towards the second prince's house.
Seeing the second prince's wounds this time, even Dr. Zou couldn't help but bared his teeth.
Oh my God, why did the wound collapse so badly this time?
While he carefully reapplied the medicine and bandage to the second prince, he respectfully ordered:
"Your Highness, we really can't be so careless anymore. If you don't take care of yourself, I'm afraid you will get the root of your illness."
Dr. Zou, with his benevolence as a doctor and the hope that he would be punished less when he returned to Beijing, kept talking non-stop.
The second prince was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Dr. Zou, for your concern. I will pay attention to it next."
Imperial Physician Zou was startled by the sudden cooperation from the Second Prince. He nodded and said he didn't dare, and then left after cleaning up.
Uncle Zhou stood aside with a look of guilt and remorse. When he saw Imperial Doctor Zou leaving, he was about to retreat when he was called by the Second Prince.
"Uncle Zhou stays."
