435 He’s Unfathomable 2

“Young Master Su, you asked a good question. What kind of benefits will I obtain from this? It will be a benefit that is very generous, enough for me to agree to this matter. And this benefit is that the entire Suzhou will be my fief. I am going to be conferred the title of king.”

Zhou Zhi smiled, revealing all the benefits he could obtain.

A king would have a fief. This meant that he could nurture soldiers that belonged to him, Zhou Zhi. This benefit was indeed huge.

“I see.”

General Qi sighed. This answer was reasonable.

Zhou Zhi did not kill Zhou Heng to begin with. It was normal for him to be able to exchange him for the greatest benefit.

“So the emperor is also acting in this show?”

Su Hua looked at Zhou Zhi and asked again. He had already frowned slightly. This matter was far more complicated than they had guessed.

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Hua and nodded with a faint smile. “Young Master Su is very smart. This show is indeed guided by the emperor. He will participate.”

Upon hearing that the emperor would also be involved, everyone frowned.

Zhou Heng looked at Zhou Zhi. He had too many questions, but it was obvious that Zhou Zhi did not plan to answer them one by one.

Their eyes met. Zhou Zhi looked at Zhou Heng and said calmly, “Now, you have two choices. Are you going to act or not?”

Zhou Heng’s heart was a mess. He looked into Zhou Zhi’s eyes and nodded. “I’ll act.”

No matter how complicated the rest was, he had to restore his identity. Recovering his identity was something he had to do.

“You only said that you wanted us to cooperate with you in this show. Then, we have to know what this show is like so that we can cooperate.”

Su Chong voiced his doubts.

None of them expected Zhou Zhi to bring such shocking news.

Even the emperor was involved in the show of Zhou Heng recovering his identity. What kind of show was this? What game was Zhou Zhi playing with the emperor?

There were too many questions swirling in his mind, giving him a headache.

Zhou Zhi retracted his smile and said calmly, “This family recognition show will be very simple. When the palace examination ends and the results are announced, I will recognize you and stand up to acknowledge your identity to all the court officials. I will resist the pressure of the officials and let Father acknowledge you in front of the Empress openly. The only thing you have to do is to give it your all and get the best ranking in this palace examination. It’s best to be one of the top three.”

After he got into the top three, he would stand out and acknowledge Zhou Heng’s identity. Under the witness of the officials, Zhou Heng will recover his identity and become famous. This was the best for Zhou Heng.

It was like building a house and laying the foundation. Zhou Heng had laid a thick foundation by restoring his identity. He did not have to rack his brains to please anyone. He could have officials voluntarily support a talented prince like him.

“I agree.”

Zhou Heng said firmly. He did not even have a reason to refuse such a good offer.

After Zhou Heng agreed, Zhou Zhi stood up. He raised his hand to greet him and said, “I’ve said what I needed to say. In that case, I’ll take my leave.”

After saying that, Zhou Zhi slowly walked out.

Zhou Heng also stood up and took two steps. “Ah Zhi.”

He shouted once, but no more words came out.

Zhou Zhi only halted for a moment, but didn’t stop.

After Zhou Zhi left, General Qi said, “The Second Prince has outstanding strategies. I really can’t tell anything from his actions. Whether it’s good or bad depends on you.”

“He’s not bad.”

Qi Xingfeng choked out a few words. This was his opinion. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of Zhou Heng, Zhou Zhi was not bad. He was helping Zhou Heng.

However, there was one thing that was puzzling. Why did he want to help? Shouldn’t he be the opposing party? Supporting his enemy to become stronger was not beneficial to him at all. Other than this point that he couldn’t understand, Zhou Zhi’s actions were really not bad.

“I agree with my brother. I don’t know what the Second Prince is thinking, but he is really helping you.”

Qi Xingzhi expressed his stance after some thought.

Actually, everyone had the same feeling. It could be seen from their expressions.

“I believe in Ah Zhi. He won’t harm me. Although I still don’t know what he’s thinking, I know that he won’t harm me.”

Zhou Heng said seriously. He trusted his intuition.

“Brother Heng, if you believe us, then believe us. Don’t think too much. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way.”

Su Chong said calmly. Zhou Heng believed it. Actually, he also believed it because Zhou Zhi had too many chances to take Zhou Heng’s life. If he really wanted to kill him, why would he let Zhou Heng live until now?

“Then prepare for the palace selection in peace. Since ancient times, there has never been a prince who took the examination step by step. You are the first since ancient times. Prepare well.”

Su Hua looked at Zhou Heng and said seriously, “In the future, Zhou Heng’s experience will definitely go down in history.”

No other prince would be as knowledgeable as him.

Zhou Heng nodded. He would definitely do his best.

Wei Guangrong had instructed Mrs. Wei to explain everything to the empress after entering the palace.

Mrs. Wei agreed solemnly and entered the palace after confirming that there were no problems.

Now that her daughter was the empress, she couldn’t meet with her casually. Mrs. Wei wouldn’t enter the palace unless there was something important.

When they arrived at Zhengyang Palace, Mrs. Wei saw the Empress lying on the bed. The Empress looked haggard and had yet to recover from the grievous news.

Mrs. Wei asked the palace maids to leave, leaving the mother and daughter alone in the quiet hall.

Mrs. Wei walked to the bed and slowly sat down. She said softly, “Ling’er.”

Empress Wei Ling’s eyes were filled with sorrow, and her tone was weak. “Mother, why are you here?”

Mrs. Wei sighed. “I’m here to tell you something.”

Wei Ling was dejected. “Mother, I don’t want to know anything now. I’m already disheartened. My heart aches when I think of Heng’er. Why isn’t he the one who died? How can he be so heartless? That’s his biological brother. How can he be so cold-blooded? Such a child is terrifying.”

“All these years, the last trace of hope in my heart has been extinguished by him. I don’t know what to do anymore. Now that his wings are voluptuous, I can’t do anything to him. Just thinking of Heng’er makes my heart ache very much. Ever since we parted, I haven’t seen him again… I can’t even see his corpse. Wu…”

At the mention of her sadness, the Empress shed tears.

“That divine doctor Wu is too hateful. He only cared about treating Heng’er but didn’t send him back. He even said that he had already repaid the favor he owed the Empress Dowager. He wouldn’t care about anything else. If he was willing to send Heng’er back, how could my Heng’er be gone…”

Wei Ling looked aggrieved. The pain in her heart could not be appeased. It was as if a knife was stabbing her heart every day. Every day and night, it made her heart feel like it was being cut by a knife. She could not sleep or eat in peace. She was in pain.
