Zhao Shu and the Crown Prince also pretended to be extremely sad, with faces full of grief. Zhao Shu even sobbed softly. In front of the doctors, they truly performed the act of brotherly love and deep affection, making the doctors believe in the identity of the fake Zhao Bi.

That night, several households in Jiangnan were looted. The next morning, news about the fake fourth prince spread like wildfire.

The real fourth prince was tortured by thieves and was on his deathbed, but the imposter was committing crimes everywhere, causing widespread public resentment.

After the news spread, rumors circulated that the Emperor had ordered the princes to study behind closed doors and not to leave the capital without being summoned. However, the Fourth Prince had come to Jiangnan. He deserved it; disobeying the imperial decree was punishable by death.

Zhao Bi, who was hiding in a village, received the news and was so angry that his face turned ashen. However, he couldn't leave. Zhen Qizhong originally wanted to show off that day and wanted to use Wei Tingsi as a stepping stone. However, he did not expect that despite his years of hard training in martial arts, he was still no match for Wei Tingsi.

Not only were his meridians shattered, but he also suffered three sword wounds to his abdomen. If it weren't for Ouyang Ye's excellent medical skills, he would have died long ago. "Your Highness, don't worry about me, go." He couldn't say much more, only a few words before he was panting heavily, large beads of sweat pouring out.

"No." Zhao Bi gently shook his head, holding his hand. "I will never abandon you, never. Do you remember our promise?"

Zhen Qizhong met his gaze, her eyes filled with deep affection, and said, "I remember."

"With the world as our matchmaker, you wield your sword, I play the zither; with mountains and rivers as our guide, we stand shoulder to shoulder, laughing as we watch the rise and fall of life." Zhen Qizhong said, her pale face smiling faintly. Her features were not particularly handsome, yet she possessed a captivating charm that made it impossible to look away, like a white camellia amidst a sea of ​​green, pure white as ice and jade, untouched by dust.

Zhao Bi thought that in this world, no one could compare to the Zhen family's sevenfold power. "Once I become emperor, no one will dare to say a word against you or me." He couldn't say anything nice, but he truly wished that the world would be his matchmaker, the mountains and rivers his guide, and that he would hold his hand until the end of his life.
