The two looked at each other, Zhou Heng looked into Su Xiaoling's eyes, and he understood that she had a determined heart to run towards him, and both of them smiled.
"Okay, no matter what happens in the future, we will go together and never leave."
Zhou Heng held Su Xiaoling's hand and said firmly.
Su Xiaoling nodded shyly. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time, so no matter what happened in the future, she would go on unswervingly and never let go of Zhou Heng's hand. She wanted to grow old with him forever.
Zhou Heng couldn't help but smile slightly, and squeezed Su Xiaoling's hand tightly. The warm and soft little hand, with a force, kept warming his heart.
The two of them walked quietly and looked at the scenery inside the General's Mansion.
She really hoped that time could pass slower, so Mu Qi stepped forward and reminded him: "Master, it's time to return to the palace."
Zhou Heng frowned: "Xiao Ling, I'm going back."
Su Xiaoling smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, Brother Heng, be careful."
Before going back, Zhou Heng met Su Xiaolu alone again.
"Xiaolu, can Ah Zhi's body still be cured?"
Zhou Heng's heart tightened.
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Heng and did not hide anything. He said directly: "There is too much poison in his body. It will take many years to completely detoxify. If his body keeps holding on for the past six or seven years and the poison is detoxified, he will
He can live for decades, but every time he detoxifies and induces poison, he may not be able to survive it."
"Thank you Xiaolu, I understand."
Zhou Heng's heart felt a little blocked. This was Zhou Zhi's body, a body that was damaged by too many poisons.
"Xiaolu, I'm leaving it to you, A-Zhi."
Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaolu pleadingly. In his heart, he really hoped that Zhou Zhi would get better. As long as there was time, the relationship between the two brothers could slowly ease, but as long as there was time.
"Um."
Su Xiaolu nodded, she will do her best.
Zhou Heng returned.
As soon as Zhou Heng returned to the palace, the palace servant reported to him: "Your Highness, the Queen, please come over."
Zhou Heng thought for a while and then said: "Let's go there now."
When Zhou Heng arrived, Wei Ling had been waiting for a long time.
She wanted to see Zhou Heng because the emperor summoned her and told her that Zhou Heng was requesting a marriage decree and asked Wei Ling to make arrangements in advance.
Wei Ling's heart felt like a big stone was pressing down on her, and she couldn't move it away no matter what.
Zhou Heng has restored his identity and she can't stop him. But now, Zhou Heng is going to an unknown civilian girl, which is hard for her to accept. She calls Zhou Heng here just to make him stop thinking.
Seeing Zhou Heng come in, Wei Ling felt mixed. This unfamiliar face and cold expression really made it difficult for her to get close to him.
She couldn't believe that this was her son.
"My son, I send my regards to my mother."
Zhou Heng saluted indifferently, Wei Ling found it difficult to get close to him, and he was also difficult to get close to Wei Ling.
"Take a seat. Yesterday, my mother didn't take a good look at you. There should be a lot to say between us, mother and son."
Wei Ling raised her hand.
Zhou Heng sat down opposite Wei Ling. He looked at the table full of delicacies with unknown emotions in his eyes. Could these dishes be poisonous?
"Heng'er, when you followed Divine Doctor Wu, was he good to you?"
Wei Ling looked at Zhou Heng and asked, Dr. Wu owed the Wei family a favor in the early years. She repaid the favor by letting Dr. Wu take him away and cure him. Dr. Wu was not very good at martial arts, but he had his own way.
Zhou Heng and Zhou Zhi were twins, and they looked alike, which was really troublesome, so it was normal for Dr. Wu to perform bone resection and change his appearance.
But the dead Zhou Heng, who was too similar to Zhou Zhi, has always been stuck in her heart and cannot be dissolved. This makes it impossible for her to believe that the Zhou Heng in front of her is the real Zhou Heng, and she does not know how long she will have to doubt it.
Wei Ling looked at Zhou Heng, staring at him without missing any expression on his face.
Zhou Heng said with calm eyes: "Mr. Wu was very kind to me. During those days when I couldn't walk, he would carry me on his back. Although it was simpler, I never suffered from hunger or cold. When I arrived in Nanshan Village
, I got to know the Su family, and my clothes every year are hand-sewed by Zhao and Su Xiaoling, so I have always lived a good life."
Wei Ling lowered her eyes: "Then you really need to thank the Su family. How about this? How about giving them some more money and finding a job for the Su family's parents? In this way, you can repay their kindness to you.
Now, is it okay for your mother to arrange this?"
After Wei Ling finished speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Heng. She smiled and tried her best to look gentle.
Zhou Heng didn't smile. He just asked calmly: "Mother, is this the case? The Su family has nothing to do with me anymore?"
Wei Ling smiled and said: "It's not wrong to say that we have nothing to do with each other. After all, you have known each other for so many years. You and the children of the Su family are also very good friends. Although we will not see each other often in the future, we have met some.
Friendship, as long as the Su family does not commit murder, arson, and crime, they will have a good life."
"The Queen Mother heard that the Su family has two daughters. Don't worry, the Queen Mother will also find a good marriage for them. Heng'er, you have to understand that you don't really like her. It's just that you see too few people.
That's why I thought it was love when I was ignorant. If you listen to the Queen, then Su Xiaoling is not suitable to be your wife. The Queen worked hard to save you back then. Don't let the Queen down."
Wei Ling put away her smile and looked at Zhou Heng. She had made it very clear.
Wei Ling simply couldn't accept that the son she had finally had a chance to save back then would not listen to her now.
She looked straight at Zhou Heng and said with a calm expression: "I remember that in the past, you listened to your mother the most. You were so filial. Your mother did everything she could to save you. Now you are back.
, you are still the same as before, right?"
Zhou Heng looked at Wei Ling and said calmly: "Mother, I like Su Xiaoling, not because I have met too few women, but because her character and temperament attract me. I know my own heart clearly.
I like her so much, I want to marry her, not because I want to repay a favor."
"If the Queen Mother wants an extremely obedient chess piece, then I'm afraid the Queen Mother will be disappointed. I know very well what I want to do. On the contrary, the Queen Mother has some things. It's too late for the Queen Mother to stop now. After I succeed to the throne,
The queen mother will still be the noble empress dowager."
Zhou Heng looked calm and said these words calmly.
Wei Ling's face could no longer calm down.
She almost gritted her teeth and said: "You are not my Heng'er at all. My Heng'er would not contradict me like this. My Heng'er is the most filial child. You are not him at all. Who are you?"
Zhou Heng sneered: "Mother, Ah Zhi listens to you so much. He has never hurt you or hated you. How did you treat him?"
