437 He’s Unfathomable 4
She barely managed a smile. “Okay, sure.”
Zhou Zhi stirred the soup spoon. Wei Ling calmed the surging emotions in her heart and said, “Let’s talk while eating, mother and son.”
Zhou Zhi chuckled and said, “Mother, it’s not too late to eat after hearing me out. The food can be heated up again when it’s cold. This won’t affect anything.”
He would never eat these poisonous things again.
There were some things that no one could force him to do as long as he did not want to.
Wei Ling frowned. She remembered that it was actually effortless to make Zhou Zhi to eat these dishes in the past.
In the past, as long as she asked Zhou Zhi to eat it, he would eat it. She suddenly realized that Zhou Zhi would eat it every time because he was willing and not because of anything else. Just like now, he was unwilling to eat it and she was actually helpless.
Force him? Wei Ling knew that she couldn’t do it. Zhou Zhi was no longer under her control. All along, he only ate because he was willing.
“Zhi’er, just say what you want to say. Mother is all ears.”
Wei Ling took a deep breath.
Zhou Zhi was still stirring the soup. He said calmly, “Mother, I’ve found Eldest Brother. The Eldest Brother you’ve been thinking about is doing well now. His legs have already recovered.”
boxn ovel. c0mWei Ling’s face turned pale, and a huge wave rose in her calm heart.
Zhou Zhi looked up and their eyes met. Wei Ling only felt that this son in front of her was extremely terrifying. A mocking smile appeared in his eyes as he said lightly, “Mother, the Zhou Heng who died is fake.”
“My real big brother has changed his name. His name is Zhou Heng now, it’s the same pronunciation, but a different character. You should know by now. What did Grandpa and Uncle tell you? I guess they must have said that this Zhou Heng is fake because they’re unwilling to lose so many secret guards just for a fake. They probably didn’t tell you that they really wanted to kill Zhou Heng by assassinating him, right?”
There was a faint smile in Zhou Zhi’s eyes. He knew that the empress wouldn’t believe him if he told her the truth.
“Mother, I will help Eldest Brother recover his identity. Mother will see Eldest Brother very soon. When the divine doctor Wu brought him to escape, he once pushed his bones for him. Mother, you have to be mentally prepared. Eldest Brother’s current appearance doesn’t look like me at all. In terms of appearance, he can’t be compared to that dead fake.”
Zhou Zhi smiled lightly and spoke calmly.
Wei Ling’s face was pale and she couldn’t sit still. She only managed to stabilize herself by using her hands to support the table. She looked at Zhou Zhi, who was smiling gently and humbly, and felt fear in her heart. She said with a trembling voice, “How did I give birth to a demon like you?”
Zhou Zhi’s smile froze. His eyes were filled with mockery. “Yes, why did you give birth to me?”
“I’ve never hidden it from Mother. If Mother doesn’t believe me, then forget it.”
Zhou Zhi regained his smile, but anyone could see that there was no smile in his eyes, only endless coldness.
He stood up. “Mother is not in good health. I won’t disturb your rest. I’ll take my leave.”
Zhou Zhi walked out slowly.
Wei Ling clenched her fists and her body couldn’t help but tremble. She gritted her teeth and shouted, “You, stop. You haven’t eaten!”
“You used to eat with Mother. Zhi’er, eat before you leave.”
Wei Ling’s breathing became heavy.
Zhou Zhi did not stop. He still walked out.
Wei Ling slammed the table and shouted, “Stop right there. Mother asked you to eat. Are you going against Mother’s orders?”
Zhou Zhi stopped in his tracks. He didn’t turn around and only said coldly, “Mother, please forgive me for not listening to you. I won’t eat your food today and I won’t eat it in the future.”
After saying that, Zhou Zhi left without looking back.
No one could stop him. He had so many capable people around him.
After Zhou Zhi left, Wei Ling was so angry that she went crazy. She vented her anger on the food on the table and swept it all to the ground. She also didn’t have the strength to stand firm and fell to the ground.
The palace maids hurriedly went forward to support her and shouted worriedly, “Your Majesty, please calm down.”
Wei Ling was so angry that her eyes turned red. “B*stard, b*stard. I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted back then. I should have drowned him when I found out that he was evil.”
Whenever Wei Ling thought of Zhou Zhi, she was so angry that her heart was in pain.
Zhou Zhi was a devil. When he was very young, he would bite and hurt the nanny who served him out of anger.
There were rumors in the palace that he was a devil, a devil that could overthrow the country, and the gentle Zhou Heng would be a wise ruler.
That year during the hunt, the two brothers fell off their horses and were injured. They were secretly harmed. Every time, he would look at her coldly, as if he knew that she would give up on him.
After sending Zhou Heng out of the palace, Zhou Zhi’s gaze was like winter ice. She did not dare to look at him anymore. Zhou Zhi’s cold gaze frightened her.
She would never forget how Zhou Zhi’s legs were as disgusting as dry branches. They were all cut off and Zhou Zhi even took them out to take a look. He stared at her with his cold eyes and said, “Mother, I hate you.”
Wei Ling was about to go crazy. Why should he hate her? Everything about him came from her. Why should he hate her? He should be grateful.
Even thinking about such a child made her afraid and disgusted.
He was clearly a devil, but he still said that he was telling the truth every time. Even when he knew that his brother had been sent away, he said, “Mother, if you had let me know, I wouldn’t have fought with my brother, but you didn’t say anything and you abandoned me—”
“I want him dead. I want him dead.”
Wei Ling gritted her teeth and shouted. Today, Zhou Zhi’s change agitated her, causing her to break down.
“Her Majesty, please be careful with your words—”
The palace maids knelt on the ground in fear and unease. No matter what, Zhou Zhi was still a prince. Even the empress could not say these words.
Wei Ling was so angry that her mind went blank. She was about to go crazy.
She stood up unsteadily and smashed everything before gradually calming down.
She fell onto the couch, panting.
The palace maids were also quiet, not daring to breathe too loudly as they quietly cleaned up everything.
After Wei Ling calmed down, she said weakly, “Help me dress up. I want to see the emperor.”
She would never let this demon get what he wanted. She would not let him fulfill his wish.
The palace maids immediately helped Wei Ling dress up.
Wei Ling brought the palace maids out of Zhengyang Palace to seek an audience with the emperor. However, when she arrived at the Wude Palace, the eunuch serving the emperor went in to report and quickly came out to reply, “Your Majesty, the emperor is busy with government affairs and doesn’t have time to see Her Majesty now. The emperor said that after he’s done, he will come to Zhengyang Palace to see Her Majesty. Her Majesty, please go back.”
Wei Ling’s face was a little pale. “Eunuch Lian, can you explain it clearly? I have something important to discuss with the emperor.”
Eunuch Lian nodded. “I understand. The emperor is really not free now. The emperor said that when he’s done, he will come to Zhengyang Palace to see Her Majesty.”
