He did not want to die.
Even a dog desired to live even the most degrading of lives.
How could he resolve this problem? It seemed very simple. Just like many other people thought, the Divine Empress only needed to kill Chen Changsheng.
In the eyes of the world's people, the Divine Empress was cruel to the extreme and simply did not care about these things.
However, Zhou Tong had followed the Empress for many years and knew that the tales circulating amongst the populace were not completely true.
The Empress truly had no bloodline descendant—the Princess of Ping was adopted—but how could she possibly personally smother her own child to death?
She was a woman after all. If she really did find out that Chen Changsheng was her own, what would happen if her heart went soft?
Her heart could not go soft, the Heavenly Dao could not be disregarded, the risk could not be taken!
Zhou Tong's face grew paler and paler. His crimson official's robe faintly shook, stirring up what seemed like a wave of blood under the early autumn sun.
"Let me take on this worry for the Empress."
He silently thought in his heart.
