Chapter 932 There are 3 princes
Zhou Shiyue reached behind him and felt a piece of paper. He grabbed it and took a look -
A talisman.
Although he didn't understand it, he figured it out all at once.
"Lu Er, you are so shameless!"
Extremely shameless.
Before, she was leaning on his back and talking to him softly, and he thought Lu Xiaoer had suddenly become gentle and considerate, but it turned out that she took the opportunity when he was listening to her to stick a talisman on his back!
This talisman will definitely prevent him from sleeping!
Putting the talisman aside, Zhou Shiyue tried to lie down again.
This time, nothing really happened.
He sat up again and leaned towards Lu Zhaoling.
"She's quite good-looking. Her eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and face don't look ugly or mean. How could she be so bad?"
He reached out his finger and poked her cheek gently.
"Little rascal."
In order to make him sit here with her, she actually put talismans on him and prevented him from lying down.
But Master Qiu was shocked when he heard the retired emperor say in his dream that something was wrong in their Qiu Mansion.
Because this is a perfect match.
This time when he returned home, he felt uncomfortable as soon as he entered the door.
But how could he have had this feeling before?
This is his home. He has lived here for so many years. He used to feel relaxed when he returned home. How could he feel uncomfortable?
However, he had previously suspected that he felt uncomfortable because he was troubled by the recent troubles caused by the third, fourth and other brothers.
Now that it has been pointed out by the Emperor, he has been shaken.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with this little lake? Is there anything else wrong with our Qiu Mansion?"
The emperor emeritus is very majestic.
"I am asking you now."
When will it be his turn to ask back?
Mr. Qiu paused.
Seems no problem.
But can this matter be told directly to the emperor?
The Emperor saw Mr. Qiu's dilemma and snorted coldly, "I'm already dead! Are you still afraid to say it out loud?"
Mr. Qiu thought about it and agreed.
The emperor is dead.
Is this his dream?
Dreams are illusions and false.
He had been suppressing his emotions in reality and dared not say anything, but now in his dream, he just relaxed and treated it as a chat with the emperor. What's wrong with that?
When Mr. Qiu realized this, he invited the emperor to sit on the armchair beside the fire.
Then he opened up.
"Your Majesty, you know that my Qiu family is loyal to you and the Great Zhou, right?"
This opening statement...
The retired emperor was also an emperor. Naturally, he was somewhat suspicious when he was in power. Moreover, the Qiu family had been in Subei, and they only came to Beijing occasionally to meet him. Who could he completely trust?
But he believed that he was fair and just when he was emperor.
Although he did not trust General Qiu wholeheartedly, he had to treat the Qiu family as he should in the absence of any solid evidence.
Now that Mr. Qiu said this, the emperor naturally replied, "Of course."
Mr. Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"But we all know that flowers don't last forever, and people don't stay good forever. The Qiu family has been stationed in Subei for so many years, and the people under them cannot guarantee that they will be absolutely loyal."
"The human heart is always unpredictable."
"Let's get down to business."
The emperor frowned.
How come he is even more talkative than him when he is in his prime?
Mr. Qiu wants to ask, isn’t this what you meant by chatting?
"Six years ago, the Third Prince committed a crime. Does the Emperor still remember?"
Ok?
The emperor's heart suddenly became tense.
The third prince?
Lu Zhaoling, who was paying attention to the dream, was also stunned for a moment.
What third prince?
She had never heard anyone mention the Third Prince since she arrived in the capital.
"Zhou Yi? Why do you mention him?"
The emperor also felt a little dazed. He hadn't thought about that child for a long time.
"Six years ago, he was still the third grandson of the emperor."
Mr. Qiu said, "He was released from the capital and begged you to let him come to Subei, and you agreed."
"That's what happened."
At that time, the current emperor was still the crown prince, and Zhou Yi's mother was the crown prince's concubine.
She was more eager to climb the ladder than her husband, so she kept urging the prince to take the throne.
Zhou Yi was also dissatisfied with Zhou Ze.
At that time, the mother and son set up a trap, hoping to kill two birds with one stone: first, let the prince ascend the throne, and second, get rid of Zhou Ze.
Fortunately, Zhou Ze was cautious and escaped the disaster.
The retired emperor was furious at the time, but thinking that they were the prince's concubine and son after all, he let the prince deal with them himself.
The crown prince ordered the execution of the concubine at that time, but he could not bear to kill his son Zhou Yi, so he requested that he be expelled from the royal family, demoted to a commoner, and sent to the border.
It was also a snowy day.
The emperor remembered it clearly.
Zhou Yi, who was still a teenager, wore mourning clothes, knelt in the snow in front of the palace, kowtowed continuously, and begged to be allowed to go to Subei.
His mother's family was also from Subei, and his maternal grandfather had an average family background, but he was very good at using a spear. The retired emperor felt that the prince was still a little weak, and marrying a military general's daughter as a concubine could help complement his abilities.
The emperor was soft-hearted and agreed to Zhou Yi's request.
After Zhou Yi arrived in Subei, in the first two or three years, spies occasionally reported back on his situation in Subei.
After the concubine was sentenced to death, her family members were spared the death penalty, but were demoted to commoners, and their children were not allowed to serve as officials or generals.
After that, they kept a low profile. After Zhou Yi arrived at his grandparents' house, he also went with them to do some copying and writing.
The emperor thought that if he could be more open-minded, it would be good for him to grow up like this.
Later, people were just asked to watch over it, and if nothing happened, there was no need to report to the capital.
He felt that if he cared too much about Zhou Yi, he would be sorry for Zhou Ze.
After all, he once wanted to kill Zhou Ze.
His focus should be on Zhou Ze.
Now, when he suddenly heard Mr. Qiu mention Zhou Yi, the emperor's heart sank and he immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Why do you mention him?"
Mr. Qiu smiled bitterly and asked, "Six years have passed, Grand Emperor, have you ever seen the current Third Prince?"
"Why do you still call him the Third Prince?"
The emperor grasped this key point.
When Zhou Yi was still the grandson of the emperor, he had already been convicted and demoted to a commoner. Logically speaking, even if the people here knew his identity, they could not call him the third prince.
It's reasonable to call him Mr. Zhou San.
This ranking cannot be taken away from him.
"Because, in the past two years, many soldiers in Subei have believed in him." Mr. Qiu said seriously, "His identity has never been concealed in Subei. At the beginning, no one dared to contact him, and when they saw him, they just called him the Third Young Master in a distant and polite manner."
"But in the past two years, he has saved many people and has gained considerable prestige and fame here."
"What?" The emperor was stunned.
"How did he save people?"
"Quite a lot of times. Moreover, he wields a green tasseled spear, and his spear skills are divine," said Mr. Qiu.
