He didn't know whether she sympathized with him or liked him.
Su Xiaolu's tolerance actually made him feel that the unfair balance was tilted in his favor.
This was not the first time that I had such thoughts, Zhou Zhi thought absently.
He was sixteen years old, and he couldn't help but ask himself, why did he approach Su Xiaolu so many times?
Do you want to take away everything that belongs to Zhou Heng? Or something else?
Zhou Zhi didn't dare to think about it further, so what if he really liked him? Su Xiaolu had sound limbs and was active, so how could she fall in love with such a disabled person like him.
Zhou Zhi pinched the root of his nose, his mood sank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gloom shrouded his eyebrows.
For a long time, he smiled coldly and whispered: "We are already in the mud, so what if it gets a little worse."
As long as she doesn't know about it for the rest of her life, that's fine.

March 14th has arrived in the blink of an eye, and tomorrow is the day of the imperial examination.
Wei Ling had not yet met the emperor. Every time she made a request, Zhou Zhao had various excuses and even sent an imperial doctor to check her body.
If Wei Ling cannot see him, there is no way to tell him about finding the eldest prince, and there is no way to tell him that Zhou Heng is dead and there will be a fake Zhou Heng to replace Zhou Heng.
Wei Ling had no choice but to spread the news out of the palace to let Wei Guangrong know and let him think of a solution.
Now Zhou Zhi no longer listens to her, and he doesn't come when she is called to see him. She has no choice but to do anything about Zhou Zhi who has begun to disobey her.
To uncover the truth and prevent the emperor from being deceived, she can only place her hope on her father.
When Wei Guangrong received the news, he felt very deep.
"Dad, why doesn't the emperor see his sister?"
Wei Xiaotian couldn't understand this. The emperor's affection for the queen was not to mention how deep he was, but he always gave her enough favor and face. It was really strange and unusual that she didn't see her after asking for her many times.
"I haven't thought about this matter. The man has also started to disobey your sister recently. He refuses to enter the palace or stay for dinner. This matter seems strange no matter how you look at it. Could it be that the emperor intends to support him as his heir apparent? ?”
Wei Guangrong frowned and guessed, and the guess in his heart frightened him.
Wei Xiaotian rejected it immediately, and said firmly: "This is impossible, Dad. There has been no precedent of setting up a disabled prince as the heir apparent since ancient times. If the emperor chooses him, all the officials will not agree, and Taizong will not agree. of."
Zhou Zhi's mutilated limbs meant that it was impossible for him and the throne. At most, he was in charge of the power, evading the imperial power and letting the emperor be his puppet. If he wanted to be the emperor himself, everyone in the world would not agree.
Wei Guangrong frowned: "Dad also knows it's impossible, but these two things are weird. He has always been favored in the emperor's heart, and the rights given to him are also great."
"If it were any other prince, in this situation, I am afraid he would have died long ago, but not only is he alive, but he has also become a climate. It would be impossible without the emperor's love and care."
Wei Guangrong sighed, feeling anxious. At present, he did not dare to move or do anything.
"Dad, tomorrow is the imperial examination. That is his best chance to face the officials and the emperor directly."
Wei Xiaotian said solemnly that he failed to succeed that day and Zhou Heng was selected for the palace examination. It was his good opportunity to face the officials and the emperor directly.
"Tomorrow, let's talk tomorrow."
Wei Guangrong was extremely upset, things were far out of control, but he did not believe Zhou Heng was true no matter what.
But I'm afraid that the outcome of this matter is beyond his prediction and control.
"Dad, if Zhou Heng resumes his status as the eldest prince, it will be very detrimental to us."
The two princes have enemies with them. If Zhou Heng becomes the emperor in the end, then the Wei family will be in catastrophe.
"Dad knows that if we can't stop it, we can only let your sister make plans to raise a prince as soon as possible. Even if she regains her identity, becoming a prince is not that simple."
Wei Guangrong's eyes darkened. He didn't know that if Zhou Zhi or Zhou Heng came forward, the Wei family would be in great trouble. Therefore, the Wei family could not support them, but had to choose from other princes.
In the next ten years, support a potential prince to compete for the crown prince position.
"Dad is right."
Wei Xiaotian lowered his eyes and agreed, as long as dad has something to think about.
The father and son were worried, but they couldn't think of a better way to relieve their worries.

In the General's Mansion.
Tonight's meal was sumptuous. General Qi raised his wine glass and said, "I wish you both success tomorrow."
"good."
Su Hua smiled.
Everyone smiled similarly and drank the wine in one go.
Zhao's eyes were gentle, and her wish had never changed. She didn't value money and power. She wanted her children to be safe.
Take a break after meals.
Su Chong, Su Hua and Zhou Heng gathered in a room.
"I won't be able to enter the palace tomorrow, so you have to rely on yourselves for everything."
Su Chong said helplessly that his knowledge stopped here and he was ready to take the martial arts exam in the second half of the year.
His reading and literacy are enough to make him a wise person, but what he actually loves more is practicing martial arts.
After getting to know Qi Xingfeng, he already had a direction for the future. He wanted to join the military. Like Qi Xingfeng, he wanted to go to the battlefield to protect his family and country.
"Don't worry, brother, you are safe in the palace."
Su Hua smiled and said that there were forbidden troops in the palace, and assassination or anything like that was impossible.
He looked at Zhou Heng, who had firm eyes and smiled at him. He was fearless and was ready.
Su Hua was relieved. As long as Zhou Heng could bear it, it would be fine. Obviously, he was ready.
"Oh, time flies so fast. We have all grown up in a flash. Brother Hua and Brother Heng, I wish you all good results and everything you want."
This time, he couldn't move forward with them.
But this is the path they will take sooner or later in their lives.
This time is the imperial examination, and it will be other things in the future. No one can be together forever.
"Thank you, brother."
Su Hua Wen smiled. As they grew up, they were all sensible, but they all understood some things without having to say them out loud. He believed that this tacit understanding would never change in his lifetime.
"Thank you Ah Chong Ah Hua, thank you for being by my side."
Zhou Heng also smiled. Su Chong and Su Hua made him firmly believe that there is true family love in this world. He believed that no matter how many years passed, they would never lose this sincere heart, and neither would he.
"Brother Heng, keep your spirits up. Although we grew up together, I still won't give in. I will still try my best to win the top prize in the new subject."
Su Hua looked at Zhou Heng and said with a slight smile.
Zhou Heng also smiled, raised his hands in a scholarly manner and said, "To each other."
Zhou Heng is also very happy because they are open-minded and open-minded. They have studied hard for many years and tried their best to not waste what they have learned over the years. This is the greatest respect for each other. They are competitors and they are like brothers.
