Chapter 106 The fake prince ascends the throne as emperor!
——The Prince of England, Zhou Jing, is the real prince!
——Today, the Duke of England and his entire family are sentenced to death!
——The fake crown prince Zhao Zisu stole the throne and was poisoned to death!
——Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Zhou Jing knelt there in a daze, the images in his mind becoming clearer and clearer, gradually changing from broken fragments into a coherent and clear memory.
Suddenly, a large number of memories appeared in his mind, almost covering up all his memories of this life.
Is that...his true destiny? !
Zhou Jing looked up at the late emperor's spirit tablet in shock, his body trembling slightly. This was the spirit tablet of his biological father!
Why did his father die so early?
Why didn’t my father expose the fake prince’s background and restore his identity as the real prince before he died?
If Zhou Jing had not still retained his last bit of rationality and knew that the late emperor had passed away and no one was protecting him, he would have been unable to hold back and made a scene.
Especially when they saw the new emperor Zhou Xi coming to burn incense to the previous emperor, everyone had to kneel down and worship this impostor.
Zhou Jing was extremely jealous. All these honors should have belonged to him, but it was Zhou Xi who occupied his identity and snatched away his throne!
Zhou Jing was able to restrain himself from causing trouble, which showed that he was rational and calm. It would be too much for him to hide his eyes full of jealousy and resentment.
So Zhou Xi easily noticed that among the people kneeling on the ground and not daring to look up at the holy face, there was one person, Zhou Jing, who dared to look at him with dissatisfaction and resentment.
Zhou Xi couldn't help but feel curious. Is Zhou Jing really that bold? How dare you look at him, the new emperor, with such disrespectful eyes?
Even the most arrogant eldest prince in the past had to bow his head and submit before the new emperor, fearing that he would take revenge on him later. Where does Zhou Jing get the confidence from?
And the look in Zhou Jing's eyes seemed as if he hated him.
Zhou Xi was confused. Although he disliked Zhou Jing before and Zhou Jing didn't get along with him, Zhou Jing definitely didn't hate him. Now looking at Zhou Jing's eyes, it was as if he had robbed the other party of something precious...wait.
Zhou Xi's gaze fell on Zhou Jing. Seeing Zhou Jing hurriedly lower his head to hide his expression and eyes after coming to his senses, Zhou Xi had a bold guess in his mind.
Zhou Jing's sudden change in attitude, that look as if he was resentful that he had stolen something precious from him... Perhaps Zhou Jing also awakened his memories from his past life?
Zhou Xi had this premonition somehow, but he did not test or do anything to Zhou Jing, because Zhou Jing, whom he once envied, jealous and hated, was no longer taken seriously by him.
In his previous life, he was extremely jealous of Zhou Jing. He was jealous that Zhou Jing could occupy his identity and enjoy his father's love, that the emperor could plan and pave the way for Zhou Jing, and that Zhou Jing could reap the fruits of his labor without doing anything. However, he could only be sent to the cold palace since birth to suffer in place of Zhou Jing, and when he grew up, he had to become the crown prince as a shield in place of Zhou Jing. In the end, he suffered the hardships of being the crown prince, while Zhou Jing enjoyed the benefits of being the crown prince.
In the end, the whole family died together.
Although Zhou Jing was not the culprit who caused his ending, Zhou Jing was a vested interest, and he had no choice but to vent his anger on Zhou Jing.
So after his rebirth, after Si Yuan openly supported him as the Duke of England, he should have pretended to be friendlier to Zhou Jing, the legitimate son of the Duke of England, but he just couldn't do it.
But when the emperor who brought him the shadow of his previous life passed away and became the former emperor, lying in the coffin, he had to watch him put on the dragon robe and ascend the throne to be the emperor, and he was so angry that he died.
Zhou Xi found that the psychological trauma from his previous life had basically disappeared, and he no longer regarded Zhou Jing as a threat to himself.
After all, the previous emperor was dead, and no one could question his identity as the new emperor. Who could have imagined that the previous emperor would have been so crazy as to swap his own son with the legitimate son of the Duke of Ying, and even personally appointed Zhou Xi, who was not his own son, as the crown prince.
After the emperor's death, no one knew Zhou Xi's true background, or even if someone knew it, no one could prove that there was any doubt about his background. As the crown prince appointed by the previous emperor, it was the most legitimate for him to ascend the throne as the new emperor. No one could question his legitimacy, and anyone who dared to question it would be disrespectful to the previous emperor.
Zhou Xi does not have to worry about his background being exposed, so Zhou Jing, the real fifth prince, is naturally nothing to be afraid of.
Zhou Xi knew very well that what really made him fearful of Zhou Jing was the late emperor standing behind Zhou Jing.
The previous emperor has been killed, and Zhou Jing, who can only rely on the previous emperor, is on what side of the rope?
Zhou Xi looked down at Zhou Jing, who was kneeling on the ground with his head down and not daring to show his resentment. He just smiled faintly, and his smile was full of tolerance for the defeated opponent.
Zhou Xi's gaze remained on Zhou Jing for a little too long, so long that Zhou Jing began to feel frightened - had he revealed his true emotions? Is he hated by this impostor?
Zhou Jing only awakened the memory of his past life, and did not obtain all the memory knowledge and skills of his past life, so he is still the spoiled playboy in this life. He can't think of any way to deal with the situation in his mind, and he doesn't know how to expose Zhou Xi's identity and become the new emperor.
As today's mourning came to an end, Zhou Jing returned to the carriage of the Duke of England's mansion with a heavy heart.
Looking at Zhou Ming who was sitting next to him, Zhou Jingxin felt more and more depressed.
It’s different now. There are so many differences between the developments in this life and the memories of the previous life.
It was obvious that in his previous life, the Duke of England had long since requested to confer him the title of Crown Prince. As far as he could remember in his previous life, he had been the Crown Prince of the Duke of England. How could it be possible that after he grew up, the Crown Prince of the Duke of England was taken away by Zhou Ming, a bastard?
Moreover, Zhou Ming's title as Crown Prince was conferred by the late emperor himself. Wasn't the late emperor his biological father? Why should you favor Zhou Ming?
Zhou Jing never thought that he himself was not the real legitimate son of the Duke of England, so why should he occupy the position of the Duke of England's eldest son.
In Zhou Jing's mind, as the real crown prince, it was already very unfair for him to temporarily be relegated to the position of a small prince of England when he could not restore his status as the crown prince. How could the position of the Crown Prince of England be snatched away by Zhou Ming?
But when Zhou Jing looked at Si Yuan who was sitting opposite him, he subconsciously remained silent, not daring to speak or show any dissatisfaction with Zhou Ming.
It was clear that the adoptive father in his previous life doted on him and always responded to his requests, but when Zhou Jing saw Si Yuan who seemed to still dote on him and indulge him in this life, he subconsciously felt a little in awe.
What Zhou Jing was thinking clearly was that although he had watched the entire family of the Duke of Yingzhou being executed in his previous life and had not pleaded for his adoptive father, no matter in the past or present life, his adoptive father should treat him well unconditionally. After all, he was a prince, and he was secretly replaced from the palace by the Duke of Yingzhou, so he could only be the son of a duke. This was what the Duke of Yingzhou owed him.
But when he really faced Si Yuan, Zhou Jing didn't dare to show the self-righteous feeling in his heart that "he owed me this". Sitting in the same carriage with Si Yuan, he didn't dare to breathe even a breath. He sat in his seat with his back straight, looking straight ahead, not daring to attract Si Yuan's attention.
Si Yuan glanced at the timid Zhou Jing and closed his eyes.
He underestimated Zhou Jing's sincerity. He thought that after Zhou Jing awakened his memories of his past life, he would rush to him and question his life experience.
After all, in the original plot, the emperor put all the blame for the child replacement on the original owner, the Duke of Yingguo. Not only did he execute the Duke of Yingguo's entire family for this crime, he also used this statement to deceive Zhou Jing, so as to prevent Zhou Jing from knowing that it was his father who replaced him out of the palace, which would make Zhou Jing dissatisfied with him.
Although the emperor felt that he sent his son out of the palace secretly to protect him, he also knew that his behavior was wrong and should not be done.
Therefore, Zhou Jing, who awakened his past life memories, also thought that it was the Duke of Yingzhou who stole him from the palace. It was the Duke of Yingzhou who replaced his son in order to allow his own son to usurp the throne and become emperor.
The only difference is that the Duke of England's conspiracy to replace his son and usurp the throne in his previous life failed, but they succeeded in this life.
As soon as Si Yuan saw Zhou Jing's clever expression, he guessed what Zhou Jing was thinking. Seeing that Zhou Jing still had some self-awareness and didn't dare to question him openly, Si Yuan didn't want to take the blame, so he quietly gave Zhou Jing another memory.
Zhou Jing returned to his own courtyard in the Duke of Yingguo's mansion with a lot on his mind. He lay on the bed, acting emo and mourning the throne that he could not get.
Gradually he fell into a dream, and then he returned to the time when he was not yet born with his current thoughts. He was still in his mother Li Zhaoyi's belly, and heard the noisy noises outside and the eunuch's decree to banish his mother to the cold palace...
Zhou Jing: “!” Didn’t his father say that his mother was framed by other favorite concubines and sent to the cold palace? It was actually my father who personally ordered my mother to be banished to the cold palace?
Zhou Jing was shocked by the truth. Then Zhou Jing went to the cold palace with Li Zhaoyi in her belly. After he was born, Zhou Jing found out that his mother died soon after he was born. He was quietly brought to the emperor. The emperor looked at him in the cradle with a familiar face and sighed, then handed him to the eunuch beside him: "Send the fifth prince to the Duke of Ying's mansion."
Zhou Jing: “!!!” It was actually the emperor who personally ordered him to be sent to the Duke of Yingguo’s mansion. Wasn’t it the Duke of Yingguo who stole him out of the palace? !
Zhou Jing had no autonomy at all while lying in his cradle. He could only watch helplessly as the eunuch put him in a food box and quietly took him to the Duke of Ying's mansion.
At this time, the Duchess of England was giving birth to a baby. The young eunuch teamed up with the traitor around the Duchess of England to swap the two children.
Zhou Jing also heard the young eunuch quietly instructing the traitor around the Duchess of England to attack the Duchess of England and cause her to die in childbirth.
Zhou Jing: “!!!”
