His disabled mother cried and hugged him, only half conscious. She said, "You have to live," "Those people will eat people," and "You must listen to your benefactor."...

For the next two days, my mother only complained that she was hungry.

It was this "hungry" sound that finally defeated him.

He thought about what happened when he fled. He could die, but he couldn't leave his mother behind again.

He couldn't remember how he wrote the letter. At that time, he was extremely awake and tense, but also in chaos.

After sending the letter away, he hoped that Yuchi would not obey the arrangement, and it would be best to report him in front of His Highness!

But... how can he ask others for loyalty that he himself cannot fulfill?

On the contrary, his betrayal will only encourage Yuchi's betrayal, right?

He waited in fear until he heard the news of His Highness's death.

Your Highness committed suicide...

He suddenly felt morbidly happy - so, could it be that His Highness never drank poison at all? In this case, he would not be considered a betrayal!

Until he heard that Yuchi was still alive... Yuchi shouldn't be alive, but she survived. His Highness had secretly arranged something, and it was His Highness's arrangement that saved Yuchi.

Yuchi survived, but also went crazy.

He met Yuchi once, but Yuchi didn't dare to look at him, and didn't mention his letter... At that moment, he understood that Yuchi had betrayed him.

Yuchi's betrayal also confirmed his betrayal.

His delusions of trying to deceive himself and others were shattered.

He suffered a serious illness. Ironically, people in the old days believed that he was hit by His Highness's death and his temperament changed drastically, so no one criticized him for his indifference and morbidity.

Only he knows that he has gone completely crazy.

He once hated everyone, hated Li Yin, hated the Ming Dynasty, and hated himself even more.

But his mother is still alive...

He has to continue to live like crazy.

That year, the defeat of the Beidi cavalry greatly deterred the forces that were ready to take action, and also allowed the Ming family, who held the Xuance Army, to further tighten the political scepter in her hands.

She began to purge the government and the public, and purge dissidents. Even a seemingly idle person like Rong Wang went to Yizhou and took his mother away.

The empress chose to use him. After all, people must be employed. At least their ability and loyalty have been tested by His Highness.

The breeze ruffled the water's surface, and the fish's tails swayed in circles.

"Until last autumn... Nuduo's sick mother passed away." Yu Zeng's voice was hoarse and slow: "Prince Rong didn't tell you, but I already know it."

To put it bluntly, the moment he heard the news, he felt that the shackles on his body disappeared.

He could finally do something...what could he do?

No matter what he does, His Highness will never come back.

But now...

Yu Zeng finally plucked up the courage and raised his hand to grab a piece of soft gauze clothes. He raised his head and knelt there, as if he was not the chief minister of the palace, who was more than ten thousand people, but still the little chamberlain back then.

Still calling: "Your Highness..."

He wanted to say, "It is the most fortunate thing in this slave's life that you can come back," but he knew he was not worthy of saying this.

"I've finished listening to your story." Chang Sui Ning lowered his eyes and looked at him: "I think I should thank you for two things."

"I want to thank you for all these years, no matter what, at least you have not exposed the existence of Deng Tailou and Meng Lie, allowing them to live in peace."

"I would also like to thank you for choosing your mother when you were in a dilemma, so that I would not have to bear such a heavy favor without knowing it."

"You have done nothing wrong in this matter, and I may not have done better than you." Chang Sui Ning said: "But this is the fate of human nature. Although I can understand it, I cannot forgive it.

"

Yu Zeng shook his head with tears in his eyes: "How dare I ask His Highness for forgiveness..."

"But Ah Zeng, after hearing this, I just feel very sorry." Chang Suining looked at him and said: "This dead end didn't have to happen."

She asked: "In more than ten years, you have never thought about confessing your identity to me?"

"I have thought about it... I have thought about it a hundred times." Yu Zeng's eyes filled with tears of self-deprecation: "But Your Highness treats you too well, and I am too greedy and afraid..."

He had such experiences and received so many good things, so he became the most timid person in the world.

He didn't want His Highness to be disappointed in him at all, and he didn't want the trust he had gained by chance to have any flaws...

However, if he could predict that these minor flaws would one day become a big mountain between him and His Highness, he would never...

"Although I was young at that time, I should have some courage to find out whether there is sincerity behind the lies." Chang Sui Ning also fell into this "what if" for a moment: "If only you could tell me earlier.

Who are you? Your mother exists. Although I will still go to Beidi, or I will still die in Beidi——"

"But today, when you and I meet again, it doesn't have to be like this."

This was what she regretted.

Yu Zeng also followed her words and imagined it. This hypothesis was so wonderful that it completely defeated him.

He loosened the hem of his clothes, fell to the ground, pressed his forehead to the ground, and burst into tears.

Time seems to be frozen in this pavilion.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Zeng heard a voice above his head, asking: "So, what is your name? Your original name."

Vaguely, this voice seemed to overlap with the voice of the eight-year-old girl in the Xiangyuan side hall many years ago.

And he wanted to replace the little chamberlain back then, so he changed his answer and replied: "My name is Liu Mingke, a native of Yanzhou, the son of the sinner Liu Shen. He was separated from his mother on the way to escape..."

Time will not turn back. He answered too late.

"Liu Mingke——" Chang Sui Ning said: "I won't kill you today, you can leave first."

Yu Zeng raised his head slowly and startledly.

"There is someone else I want to kill." The girl stopped looking at him. She changed her sitting position, with her legs hanging outside the pavilion, facing the water, and said calmly: "Besides, I don't need to acknowledge her love.

Act according to her arrangements step by step."

Chang Sui Ning never said clearly who "she" was, but Yu Zeng understood clearly.

"You should have thought that you came to Jiangdu because she was suspicious of you." Chang Sui Ning said: "But she was just suspicious and could not confirm it. She sent me a secret message and she must also try to 'remind' her."

She has come to Prince Rong's Mansion, and she wants to use Li Yin's hand to verify your authenticity. If you are Li Yin's person, and the world is in chaos today, Li Yin will definitely choose to abandon you and try to kill you on your way back to Beijing to prevent you from telling the truth.

Secrets that need to be revealed."

"But why did she tell me specifically?" Chang Suining analyzed: "In addition to showing kindness to me and making me suspicious of Prince Rong's Mansion, there is probably another consideration - she must be able to think of it.

, even if you are innocent, Li Yin may still kill you."

Pushing the boat along with the current, in order to confuse the line of sight and protect the real internal response of Prince Rong's Mansion in the capital.

"In this case, I can be useful." Chang Sui Ning said: "She reminded me that with my temperament, I will definitely confirm to you whether you have colluded with King Rong. As a former master and servant,

Now that you are trapped in Jiangdu, it will be much easier for me to verify it face to face with you."

"If you are really a traitor, you don't need to be killed by King Rong, and I can't tolerate you."

"If you have been misunderstood and wronged, I will do my best to protect you from King Rong's men. If I encounter King Rong's people with swords and swords because of this, I may also be able to form a feud with King Rong's Mansion in Yizhou."

"I probably have other considerations...but forget about it." Chang Sui Ning was too lazy to say any more, and just said: "Right now, I am the one who knows the most about the whole situation. There is no reason to act according to other people's expectations."

The empress only suspected that Yu Zeng was Prince Rong's spy, but she didn't know that Prince Rong poisoned her back then.

King Rong knew everything except who she was.

Under such circumstances, she should do the opposite and do whatever is beneficial to herself.

After Yu Zeng heard this, he tried to ask: "I wonder if slaves are still of some use..."

"The situation is unpredictable." Chang Sui Ning stood up noncommittally and walked out of the pavilion: "In short, you should leave Jiangdu as soon as possible. Right now, I will not let you die and let others get their wish."

Yu Zeng responded with tears in his eyes: "Yes, thank you Your Highness...", bowed his head and knelt down to send her away.

When Chang Suining stepped off the wooden bridge, he paused slightly and looked back, only to see Yu Zeng still kneeling in the pavilion, motionless.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The garden is noisy in spring, the flowers and plants are fragrant, and new butterflies are passing through.

Chang Suining was walking on the path and came to the foot of a camphor tree. He stopped and looked at the bright sky through the gaps between the branches and leaves. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Not long after, A Dian ran over along the path.

A Dian called her, but she didn't answer.

A Dian followed her example and looked up at the sky. After looking at it for a while, he asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, why are you unhappy?"

"A Dian is a puppy, right." Chang Suining retracted his gaze, turned to look at the tall A Dian, and asked curiously: "Why else can you always smell my unhappiness?"

A Dian looked proud and forgot to explore for a moment. He picked up the wreath that he had woven in his hand and handed it to her: "Don't be unhappy, this is for you!"

Chang Suining looked around and saw that it was made of delicate willow branches and had goose-yellow winter jasmine flowers.
