Chapter 236 After Rebirth, the Young Lady Will Marry a Dandy Man (49)

As for appearance, the girl had no special features except a pair of beautiful big eyes.

Because he grew up in the mountains and didn't eat well, his skin is pale and his body is very thin.

But she loves to laugh. When she laughs, her eyes sparkle, making this ordinary-looking girl extraordinary.

Zhou Zimu covered his head, and suddenly a new memory appeared in his mind.

Although the mountain has complex terrain, it has a cliff with beautiful scenery.

That night, he and the girl sat on the top of a mountain. The girl asked him, "Why did the prince go to the border to fight?"

How did Zhou Zimu answer? He said at the time: "It is too hypocritical to say that I am doing this for the people. In the beginning, I was just trying to find a way to survive for myself."

"I have never told anyone else about this, but it's okay to tell you today. Everyone in the world says that my father dotes on me, but that's not true. He killed my mother, and he didn't send me to the border because he was sad to see me, nor was it to give me experience, but just to keep me away from the court."

"He didn't want me to grow up and have my own courtiers to protect me. He didn't want things to get out of his control and he couldn't give up the throne to his favorite son. He wanted me to stay at the border to grind away my ambition, and then quietly kill my child. But he probably didn't know that he had aroused my ambition."

"It was only after I led the troops into battle that I saw the suffering of the people."

The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "So, Your Majesty, your ambition is to make all the people live a good life?"

Zhou Zimu nodded affirmatively: "Of course."

"I believe in the prince," said the girl.

Zhou Zimu smiled back and said, "Thank you for your trust."

Zhou Zimu, who gradually woke up from his memories, was a little dazed.

Did he have such an intimate chat with that girl at that time? But that girl was the one who poisoned him, wasn't she?

Zhou Zimu was confused for a moment. Why did the girl poison him?

Zhou Zimu raised his hand and pressed his chest. It hurt inside, but it seemed that it was not him who was in pain. It was as if another soul was in pain.

"Prince?" Seeing that Zhou Zimu had not spoken for a long time, Shen Ci called him softly.

Zhou Zimu finally came back to his senses. He turned his head to meet Shen Ci's eyes and was stunned again.

She has a pair of beautiful eyes. They are big and have long eyelashes. When they blink, they look like butterfly wings, flickering.

But these eyes...

Meeting the eyes in my memory...

Why did she suddenly ask such a question? Because she was...

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am that girl." Because Zhou Zimu was stunned, Shen Ci caught the emotion from his eyes and spoke.

Zhou Zimu's breathing suddenly became heavier, and he asked with a trembling voice: "Why...why are you suddenly saying this?"

"Because I am indeed the girl who poisoned you, and I also have an impure purpose, to marry you in place of Yan Yun." Shen Ci looked at the fish in the lake, his tone very calm.

However, Zhou Zimu was almost unable to suppress his emotions. He grabbed Shen Ci's wrist which was holding the fishing rod, pulled her up with a hard tug, and held her in his arms.

As a result, the fishing rod fell into the water. The fish that was eating the hook sensed the movement and swam away quickly, causing the fishing rod to hit the water surface, splashing and creating ripples.

"I don't want to hear this. I don't want to hear this!" Zhou Zimu buried his head in her shoulder, gritted his teeth, and spoke word by word.

"Your Highness..." Shen Ci opened his lips and wanted to tell him the details of the matter.

"Shut up, don't talk, don't talk anymore, please, I beg you as the king, I don't want to listen, I will pretend that nothing happened today, and I didn't hear anything. Do whatever you want to do, it doesn't matter if you kill me, as long as you stay by my side now." He begged in a hoarse voice.

Shen Ci sighed, raised her hand, and ruffled his hair: "I'm telling you this not because I want to leave, nor do I intend to do anything to you. I just want to apologize to you."

"Apologize?" Zhou Zimu was puzzled.

"Yes," Shen Ci responded, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I used to be a refugee in a border town, and was later adopted by my adoptive father. My adoptive father was the scholar who was in love with Liu Ruyun. My adoptive father hated Liu Ruyun very much and vowed that one day Liu Ruyun would look up to him. Do you know Xu Li? He is the son of the emperor and Li Niang. Yes, Li Niang is not dead. She is now known to the outside world as the wife of the richest man in Zhou."

"It turns out that she is not dead." Zhou Zimu said with some sarcasm.

When he was still a child and before his mother died, he accidentally heard his mother talking to another person, and they were talking about Li Niang not being dead.

At that time, he was still young and didn't understand these things. After he understood these things later, he only blamed himself for not eavesdropping for a little longer when he was young, because then he might have known more information.

"Yes, she is the wife of the richest man on the surface, but it is actually a cover. The emperor often contacts her, and Li Niang gave birth to Xu Li for the emperor. The adoptive father met Xu Li by accident. Xu Li was a smart man who knew how to win people's hearts at a young age. He introduced the adoptive father to the emperor. The adoptive father was very ambitious and quickly won the emperor's favor and went to Yi State." Shen Ci nodded and continued.

Zhou Zimu: "He is the spy who caused chaos in Italy and eventually ascended the throne as the emperor of Italy?"

"Well, you know Yan Wei is now the prime minister. My adoptive father wanted to surpass him, so he had to support Xu Li to take the throne. So a few years ago, after you were trapped in the mountains, he asked me to bring you medicine. But I swear, he told me that the medicine could cure all poisons, and someone wanted to poison you and asked me to help you. I didn't expect... I didn't expect it to be poison. He is my adoptive father, and I thought I could trust him."

"He is your adoptive father and has done you a favor. You are right to trust him, but why... why don't you want to hurt me? I should have understood you correctly, you don't want to hurt me?" Zhou Zimu couldn't help asking.

"I've said before that I was a refugee in a border town. The border town is my hometown. You restored peace to it. No matter what your purpose was at the time, you did it, so I admired you very much at that time." Shen Ci said to him.

"Do you really admire me?" Zhou Zimu asked again.

Shen Ci nodded: "Really."

"I'm very happy." Zhou Zimu touched his chest and felt the pain there disappeared. It was as if in an instant, not only was he happy, but the soul in his body was also happy.

Chang Sunhe showed up at lunch time. He looked very different today from the day he was fortune-telling.

They looked somewhat similar, but his aura was completely different.

He is elegant yet dignified, and with his gorgeous clothes, he looks extraordinarily noble.

His appearance was not particularly stunning, but his temperament added countless points to him.
