Chapter 83 The fake prince ascends the throne as emperor!
The original owner was the Duke of Ying of the Great Zhao Dynasty. His ancestors were meritorious officials who conquered the world together with the founding emperor of the Great Zhao Dynasty, so the title was hereditary without any downgrade. It has been passed down to the original owner's generation, which is already the fifth generation.
The original owner entered the palace as a companion to the prince when he was young, and after the prince ascended the throne, he became the current emperor.
This emperor was a love-minded emperor. He ascended the throne in his twenties and was controlled by the empress dowager and powerful ministers. He did not dare to expose his true love in front of everyone, so he had to let his true love be a little Zhaoyi in his harem. Even his favor to this Zhaoyi had to be secretive and he did not dare to do it openly.
The emperor's most favored concubine is the empress dowager's niece, which is a shield the emperor set up for his true love, Zhaoyi. In addition to the concubine, there are several other favored concubines, all of whom are shields the emperor set up for his true love.
But his true love was bullied by the favorite concubine because she was apparently unfavored. The emperor could do nothing except comfort her secretly. After all, if the emperor disposed of his favorite concubine for the sake of an unfavored Zhaoyi, everyone could see who he really cared about.
Even after this true love Zhaoyi offended the imperial concubine, the emperor sent her to the cold palace in order to protect her. In fact, he protected her in the cold palace.
But Li Zhaoyi didn’t think that the emperor truly loved her. If he truly loved her, would he let her be bullied and not give her justice? If it is true love, would you let her live in the cold palace? If it is true love, would you be reluctant to give her even a high and honorable position?
No matter what the emperor said, he had already recorded all the bullying she had suffered from the imperial concubine and others in a small notebook, and they would settle the accounts together later. Li Zhaoyi felt very aggrieved.
Later, Li Zhaoyi became pregnant. Pregnant women tend to be sensitive and overthinking. She also lived in a place like the cold palace. In order to prevent others from discovering his true love for her, the emperor did not dare to treat her well in public. What was the point of treating her well in secret? She didn't dare show it, because the concubines who were jealous of her pregnancy didn't take her seriously at all and kept making all kinds of sarcastic remarks about her.
Li Zhaoyi was so depressed that she died. After giving birth to a prince, she died of postpartum depression in the cold palace.
When the emperor learned that his true love died in the cold palace, he hated the concubines he had set up as targets, but he did not dare to do anything to these concubines with good family backgrounds. In order to protect himself and his son with the woman he truly loved, he even had to pretend to be indifferent to the prince born in the cold palace.
These matters in the harem certainly had nothing to do with the original owner, the Duke of England. After all, no women entered the Duke of England's mansion.
But the emperor's subsequent outrageous move implicated the Duke of England's Mansion - the emperor was reluctant to let the son born to him by his true love suffer in the cold palace, so he swapped his own son with the Duke of England's newly born son.
He forced his prince from the cold palace to leave the palace and become the legitimate Prince of England, while letting the original owner's legitimate son, who was supposed to be the Prince of England, suffer in the cold palace.
Because the emperor was worried that the Guild of England would treat his beloved prince badly. After all, what father could truly be good to the fake son knowing that his own biological son was suffering on behalf of the fake son?
So the emperor exchanged the child without telling the Duke of England. At that time, the Duke of England was fighting outside, and the Duchess of England's wife gave birth at home. The emperor secretly tampered with the baby, and the Duchess of England's wife died in childbirth. Under such chaotic circumstances, no one noticed that the newborn baby was swapped.
After all, the prince born by Li Zhaoyi was not well taken care of in the womb, and was still very thin and weak after being born for more than ten days. No one doubted that he was just born.
When the Duke of England rushed back, what he saw was his wife's funeral and a skinny fake son.
The Duke of Yingguo and his wife were deeply in love. For the sake of his sickly son, he gave up his military power and stayed in the capital to raise the child himself. He raised the sick child to be strong and smart, and taught him everything he had learned.
The emperor happily accepted the military power handed over by the Duke of England and began to take control of the power. He watched his beloved prince become more and more outstanding under the guidance of the Duke of England without his knowledge. Then he took out the fake prince from the cold palace and made him the crown prince, setting him up as a target in the court, and let the sons of the imperial concubine and other favorite concubines direct all their firepower at the fake crown prince.
The fake prince suffered hardships in the cold palace since childhood and survived with great difficulty. He finally grew up with care and was made into a target to be attacked by other princes and their maternal families. The emperor, who was high above, watched coldly as he was attacked from all sides.
The fake prince was truly capable as he was able to stand out from so many hardships. After he defeated the other princes, the emperor revealed his background and pinned the blame of the child swap on the Duke of Yingguo, accusing the Duke of Yingguo of trying to steal the throne by swapping the princes. He then executed the entire family of the Duke of Yingguo and the fake prince as well.
The original Prince of England was transformed into a real prince, and took over the throne smoothly under the emperor's pavement.
After reading the original plot, Si Yuan was speechless. Is this the emperor? Such a lame emperor? An emperor who only knows how to scheme and plot?
Looking at the princes in the original plot who died or were maimed, it was basically the emperor who pushed them behind the scenes to pave the way for his true beloved son.
His truly beloved son indeed lived a quite happy life under his protection. He grew up in the Duke of England's Mansion as the only heir. No one would target him. Even the other princes who should have regarded him as a thorn in their eyes were very friendly to him in order to win over the Duke of England's Mansion. All their open and covert attacks were directed at the fake prince.
The Duke of England did not know that he was not his biological son, and treated him very well. In order to prevent him from suffering from his stepmother, he refused to remarry no matter how others advised him. He was the only legitimate son, and he doted on him in every way. The other illegitimate sons were not treated as well as him, and did not pose any threat to him at all.
However, this fake prince was also an ungrateful person. While he enjoyed the favor of the Duke of England, he resented the fake prince for taking away the prince's honor that belonged to him.
After the truth about his life was revealed, the fake prince had no intention of saving the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. He was only filled with resentment that the Duke of Yingguo deliberately replaced him from the cold palace in order to make his son the crown prince.
As for whether or not this was the exchanged child of the British prince, did the fake prince really not know? He simply could only see the fake prince's apparent glory and honor, but was blind to the open and secret attacks that the fake prince had encountered over the years.
He only hated that as the Prince of England, he had to bow and greet the fake prince every time he saw him, but he forgot that his actual situation was much better than that of the fake prince who was attacked from all sides.
After receiving the original owner's memories, Si Yuan found himself traveling back to the time when the emperor had just changed his son. The original owner had just returned from a victorious battle at the border and was writing a memorial requesting to hand over his military power and stay in the capital to raise his son, and to make his son Zhou Jing the crown prince.
The original owner had written half of the memorial when Si Yuan came through.
Si Yuan looked at the memorial in front of him and without hesitation placed it on the candle beside him and burned it.
You're also handing over your military power and making that ungrateful bastard your crown prince? Dream on!
Si Yuan looked at the memorial turning into ashes with a pensive expression.
He said to the system: [My mission target this time should be the real Zhou Jing, right? Is it Zhao Zisu who has been sent to the cold palace now? 】
The system replied: [Yes, host, it is recommended that the host secretly change the child back, so that when the original owner's life story is exposed, the original owner's biological son can ascend the throne. 】
After following Si Yuan to complete several tasks, the system also had its own ideas about how to complete the tasks.
After thinking about it, Si Yuan rejected the system's suggestion: "Your idea sounds good, but the problem is that after the truth about my origin is revealed, that damn emperor will definitely put the blame of child swapping on my head. I don't want to take the blame for that." 】
If he secretly swapped the two children back, making the emperor think that the one raised in the Duke of England's Mansion was his beloved prince, and the one raised in the cold palace was the Duke of England's son, then in fact the one suffering in the cold palace was his beloved son, and the one being doted on in the Duke of England's Mansion was the real Duke of England's prince. In the future, when the emperor's life story was exposed, the one who ascended the throne as the real crown prince would be the Duke of England's son.
But the emperor was unaware of this. He still believed that the person he helped to ascend the throne was his own son, and the Duke of Ying's Mansion was taking the blame for him.
Si Yuan wouldn't do that.
Si Yuan's mind raced, and he suddenly had a brilliant idea: [System, how about letting the real Zhou Jing be reborn? It is the original owner’s son who is now in the cold palace. Let him be reborn with his memories...】
A prince who can defeat all the princes and is only one step away from becoming the final winner. If he were reborn, he would have known that his father was the mastermind who would stab him in the back and he would have been prepared. So, could the truth about his life be revealed?
System: […6! 】
However, when Si Yuan opened the system mall and looked at the price of the rebirth ticket, he finally chose to give up. It was too expensive and not worth the money.
Then, under the shocked gaze of the system, he quietly sneaked into the cold palace of the imperial palace and cast the "A Thousand Year Dream" on the baby who was still in the cradle. He directly made up a dream for the baby according to the original plot, letting the child dream of the development of the original plot. Although he would not remember everything as deeply as a real reborn person, this kind of omniscience from a God's perspective might be more useful than the memory of a reborn person.
Moreover, the baby, like a blank sheet of paper, grows up slowly in the dream. When he wakes up, it is as if he has lived for decades. He has truly gained decades of experience and is no different from a real reborn person.
The system looked at Si Yuan and found that he had actually created a reborn person, and could only respond with a double-click 666 for his operation.
Si Yuan returned to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion and went to see the real prince. Looking at this future ungrateful person who was not the target of his mission, Si Yuan did not feel anything at all. He just looked at him twice and turned away.
