Chapter 99

Soon the Ninth Princess Zhou Jinchun, who never showed up in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was taken from the cold palace to Zhou Chaoyuan's bedroom.

When they arrived at Zhou Chaoyuan's bedroom, Zhou Jinchun didn't even dare to lift his head. He walked up to the dragon bed, bowed his head and bowed, "I have seen... I have seen... Father Emperor..." with a look of trepidation and submissiveness.

In fact, Zhou Jinchun has no fluctuations in her heart. All her actions and expressions are just pretending. She has been trained by her master countless times before.

The master told her that she was the best at pretending to be weak and pitiful, as long as she listened to her guidance, there would be absolutely no problem.

Although Zhou Jinchun didn't understand why Master was good at these things, she believed everything Master said.

If Zhou Jinchun still had some thoughts about her father in the past, now she has completely lost it. The master told her that being born without nourishment is no different from an animal.

Since this father had never raised her, she didn't need to have any father-daughter affection for him. Everything she wanted to have in the future could be won with her own hands.

Since she got to know Master, she realized that the outside world is so big and magnificent. She wanted to stand on a high place and take a look at this beautiful and magnificent world.

On the bed, Zhou Chaoyuan was stunned the moment he saw Zhou Jinchun. He remembered that the child was thirteen... or fourteen years old. Why is there only such a small ball?
Because Zhou Jinchun was exploited by the eunuch all the year round, she never had a full meal, and her physical development was seriously stunted. Although Xiaobai had been helping her take care of her for a long time, it was not so easy to make up for the loss of more than ten years!

At this moment, Zhou Jinchun was wearing a princess costume, completely like a child who stole an adult's clothes.

"Raise...raise...your head, let me...zhen take a look..." Zhou Chaoyuan said every word.

Zhou Jinchun slowly raised his head when he heard the words, his palm-sized face was full of panic, his eyes were as pure as a Wang Qingquan, looking at Zhou Chaoyuan with attachment and admiration.

It has to be said that Zhou Jinchun did learn the essence of pure white flowers from Chang Yue.

"Father... Royal Father."

Zhou Jinchun called out to the emperor eagerly, with a cautious tone and a sense of strangeness in his tone, which made Zhou Chaoyuan's heart tremble.

The moment he saw Zhou Jinchun, he thought of the former queen, their eyebrows and eyes were so similar.

Zhou Chaoyuan thought that he and the empress should have been in love once, but when he thought about the identity of the empress, he was not sure, maybe the love back then was also mixed with calculations.

When it comes to the Great Zhou Dynasty, we must talk about the predecessor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

About 3000 years ago, there was a very powerful dynasty in Zhongzhou - Daqi.

The founding emperor of this dynasty was a generation of tyrannical heroes who were rarely seen in ten thousand years. With his own strength, he overwhelmed all the sects and families in the entire Zhongzhou.

Zhongzhou is the center of the thirteen prefectures, and its area alone is more than seven times larger than Yuzhou, the largest of the other twelve prefectures, and there are countless forces, large and small.

Being able to subdue the entire Zhongzhou with his own strength shows how powerful the Taizu Emperor of Daqi is, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the proud son of heaven.

But Xiao He was successful and Xiao He was defeated. It was precisely because Emperor Taizu was too powerful and overbearing that he offended too many people.

The huge Qi Dynasty fell apart overnight.

But the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and finally the descendants of the Qi family fled to Mianzhou under the escort of the general Zhou Yuren and the remnants of the Qi Dynasty.

But who would have thought that in the end Zhou Yuren would actually have a heart of treason, and led his subordinates to kill the descendants of the Qi family one by one, in an attempt to occupy the legacy of the Great Qi Dynasty.

It is unimaginable how powerful and rich the Daqi Dynasty was in its heyday. If this legacy can be obtained, it is not impossible to establish another powerful dynasty.

But the descendants of the Qi clan were not so easy to kill. Zhou Yuren did kill all the members of the Qi clan, wiped out the whole family of the Qi clan, and also obtained the rich inheritance left by the Taizu to the descendants of the Qi clan.

But he was cursed by the members of the Qi clan. Even though he had already cultivated to the Xiantian state, he had never lived past fifty.

To make matters worse, according to the family members of the Qi family who were killed, when they were in Zhongzhou, the Daqi royal family had already used the dynasty's national treasure to send a descendant of the Qi family out of Zhongzhou.

In other words, the descendants of the Zhou family must always be on guard against the revenge of the descendants of the Qi family.

Later, with the help of the remnants of the Daqi Dynasty, the Zhou family really established the Dazhou in Mianzhou.

Thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye, so long that the Zhou family has forgotten the existence of the descendants of the Qi family. However, one day, someone suddenly reported that the current empress and her younger brother, General He Xiao, are descendants of the Qi family.

The first reaction of Zhou Chaoyuan, who had just ascended the throne at that time, was disbelief. The queen was from the He family, the daughter of General He, and the queen appointed by the former emperor himself. How could it be a descendant of the Qi family?

What's more, the queen has been married to him all these years, and she hasn't made any mistakes in her succession. She is also very affectionate with him, and she has a princess. How can she be a descendant of the Qi family?
Until Mrs. He came out to testify, he said that the queen He Long and the young general He Heng were not born by her at all, but were brought back by General He from outside, not even members of the He family.

As soon as Madam He said this, the whole Da Zhou was in an uproar.

No one doubted Mrs. He's words, because at that time, General He had passed away, and He Erlang had all died in battle. The only remaining descendants of the family were Queen He Long and General He Heng. They are really descendants of the He family, Mrs. He can't frame them like this and make the He family lose their children and grandchildren.

At that time, Zhou Chaoyuan still didn't believe Mrs. He's words, so he proposed to invite Zhou Tian Jinlongyi, the national treasure of Zhou Dynasty, to let Zhoutian Jinlongyi do the divination.

But what Zhou Chaoyuan didn't expect was that after he proposed this verification method, the queen took the initiative to stand up, admitting her identity as a descendant of the Qi family, and then committed suicide on the palace wall.

Before committing suicide, she denounced Zhou's wolfish ambition of dishonesty, rebellion, and treason, which made Zhou lose all face.

Later, General He Xiao appeared and fought against many elders of the Zhou family with his own strength, and took away the queen's body at the cost of serious injuries.

Since then, Empress He Long and her nine-born princess Zhou Jinchun have become taboos in the palace.

Seeing that the emperor was still in a daze, Xuan Meiren told Zhou Jinchun that the emperor was poisoned and needed ten drops of blood from the heart of a close relative to cure it.

"I wonder if Princess Nine is willing to donate these ten drops of heart and soul for His Majesty?"

Zhou Jinchun kowtowed without hesitation and said, "It is my honor to be able to detoxify my father, and I am willing."

Zhou Jinchun's loud voice finally brought Zhou Chaoyuan back from his thoughts.

"You... do you know... ten drops of blood... will kill you..." Zhou Chaoyuan asked, half sitting up, propping up his arms.

"My son... my son knows... I know, as long as I can save my father, my son is not afraid of death." Zhou Jinchun said timidly but firmly.

Zhou Chaoyuan didn't speak any more when he heard the words, he lay back on the bed with a bang, and it took him a long time to make a sound.

"Take...down...to get blood..., and the rest of you...retreat."

"Yes, my son is leaving!"

Hearing this, the other princes and princesses breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then exited Zhou Chaoyuan's bedroom one by one in an orderly manner.

Little life saved.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The imperial physicians also responded and took Zhou Jinchun down.

After Zhou Jinchun was taken away from the bedroom, Beauty Xuan saw Zhou Chaoyuan lying there motionless, staring at the bed curtains blankly.

After half an hour, Zhou Chaoyuan suddenly said to the eunuch beside him, "Go...go...see...Ninth Princess..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eunuch responded and left quickly.

After about a cup of tea, the eunuch came back again. He bowed and said to Zhou Chaoyuan: "Heart has been taken, the ninth princess has passed out, and the imperial doctor said that if she can't make it through tonight, then..."

The eunuch didn't finish his sentence, but Zhou Chaoyuan understood the meaning, and so did Beauty Xuan.

"Okay...ok...take care, do...do your best...to treat it." Zhou Chaoyuan said calmly.

At this time, Beauty Xuan said: "Your Majesty, let the ninth princess go to the concubine's palace. She is in danger now, so it's not good to send her back to the cold palace."

Zhou Chaoyuan stared at Beauty Xuan silently for a while, and finally nodded with difficulty.

I'm afraid no one in the harem is willing to take care of Princess Ninth's troubles, but she is quite courageous.

A few days later, thanks to Zhou Jinchun's painstaking efforts, the imperial physicians successfully developed the antidote and let Zhou Chaoyuan take it. Now Zhou Chaoyuan's poison has been cured, except for a little pale face, the rest is not serious.

It was rumored in the palace that the nine princesses were blessed with great fate, and they were able to survive after losing ten drops of effort. Although they are still unconscious now, they somehow saved their lives.

In the past few days, Zhou Chaoyuan never visited Zhou Jinchun once, or even asked a question, as if he didn't remember such a person at all.

Zhou Chaoyuan was tired of dealing with the memorials this day, so he recruited beauty Xuan to accompany him.

He leaned on the chair tiredly and saw Mei Xuan coming in. He waved to her and said, "Come here, give me a massage."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Beauty Xuan said, blessing her body, then walked to Zhou Chaoyuan's side, and gently massaged his temples.

After pressing halfway, a young eunuch's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the maid next to Empress Xuan has come and said she has something to report."

Zhou Chaoyuan was about to speak when Beauty Xuan suddenly put her green finger to his lips, "Your Majesty, please rest well, and this concubine should go out and have a look."

Zhou Chaoyuan nodded.

Beauty Xuan only went out for a while, and when she came back, she seemed hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Zhou Chaoyuan said: "If you have something to say, just talk about it, what do you do?"

Beauty Xuan then whispered, "Your Majesty, Princess Ninth has woken up."

Zhou Chaoyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and didn't speak for a while.

At this time, Beauty Xuan asked in a low voice: "I wonder what your Majesty's plans are for the Ninth Princess? Although the Ninth Princess...has a special status, she sacrificed half her life to save you, and then sent her to the cold palace...I'm afraid...it's inappropriate. .”

In fact, Beauty Xuan knows that Princess Nine has nothing to do from the beginning to the end. She has eaten Tai Sui meat just like herself. have.

The flesh and blood of Tai Sui is not only a magic medicine, but also a curse and bondage.

Zhou Chaoyuan looked at Beauty Xuan and asked, "According to Aifei's opinion, how should the Ninth Princess be arranged?"

Beauty Xuan pretended to be contemplative for a while before she lowered her eyebrows and answered calmly: "Why don't you just leave the Ninth Princess in the concubine's palace."

"Oh?" Zhou Chaoyuan raised his eyebrows, "How could Aifei think of this? As far as I know, the Ninth Princess is like a hot potato in the palace, no one wants to be contaminated, why is Aifei rushing forward instead?"

"Your Majesty, look at what you said!" Beauty Xuan shook Zhou Chaoyuan's arm coquettishly, "They are them, and the concubine is the concubine. The nine princesses saved your majesty. In the eyes of the concubine, it is the same as saving the concubine. .

Moreover……"

Speaking of this, Beauty Xuan showed grievances, "Your Majesty knows that earlier, my concubine was injured in the imperial concubine's... ah, it was Concubine Lan...'s palace, and I am afraid it will be difficult to have any heirs in this life.

Also, the concubines came from humble backgrounds, and they were already criticized in this harem. Now it's just that there is an extra Ninth Princess with a special status, so what does it matter. "

After hearing Beauty Xuan's words, Zhou Chaoyuan smiled, "Then follow Aifei's words."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Beauty Xuan flung herself into Zhou Chaoyuan's arms with a smile, her delicate body and the alluring fragrance made Zhou Chaoyuan's heart want to move.

In the end, Zhou Chaoyuan couldn't bear the temptation of the beauty, and the two began to fight with goblins.

On the same day, everyone in the harem got the news that His Majesty had recorded the Ninth Princess under the name of Beauty Xuan, and there was no need to return to the Leng Palace from now on.

Not long after this decree was issued, an old man with white beard and hair appeared in Zhou Chaoyuan's palace.

After Zhou Chaoyuan saw the old man, he asked with a smile: "How come Uncle has time to come here today?"

The old man stepped forward to salute Zhou Chaoyuan, and then said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, are you really going to take that child out of limbo?"

Zhou Chaoyuan restrained his smile when he heard the words, sighed deeply and said, "She saved my life after all."

"Your Majesty, don't forget whose blood she is bleeding and who is her uncle! When He Heng left, he said that he would definitely come back to pick up this child!" The old man mentioned He Heng, his tone full of fear. .

"I know..." Zhou Chaoyuan pinched the center of his brows, "Could it be that we are so big that we are still afraid of He Heng?"

He sometimes thought that if the child hadn't made it through, he wouldn't have been in a dilemma, but she just made it through.

"Don't forget, He Heng is holding Daqi's national treasure in his hand. The ancestor was injured by that thing back then, and the injury has not healed yet. He was only able to break through the innate realm back then. Now all these years have passed Who knows how strong he has become." The old man continued.

"Maybe He Heng died outside?" Zhou Chaoyuan said, "When he left, he was also seriously injured."

"Your Majesty, do you believe this?" The old man looked at Zhou Chaoyuan fixedly.

Of course I don't believe it, Zhou Chaoyuan sighed and said, "I've made up my mind, uncle doesn't need to persuade me much."

"Then Your Majesty can do it for himself!" The old man flicked his sleeves and disappeared in front of Zhou Chaoyuan.
