Chapter 1080 Weakness

Zhou Shuren entered the government hall and greeted the emperor tremblingly. When he heard the emperor give way, he seemed to have no strength left and sat down on the ground.

emperor,"."

Prince, "."

Zhou Shuren was silent. He really wasn't acting. Today he was frightened, and he was acting at the palace gate. He also had to walk all the way here. For a physically weak man like him who had been sitting in the office all the time, he really had used up all his strength. "Your Majesty, I may have to sit for a while."

The emperor admired Zhou Shuren's appearance. He was already a wolf, and now it was even more unpleasant. His beard was untidy and his hair was standing on end. His eyes were red and swollen. He silently looked away, "Shuren can sit as long as he wants."

Zhou Shuren, "Your Majesty, I just cried and now I feel empty inside. I think I will have to sit for a long time."

This is the truth. If you want to make him cry now, you really need to build up some emotions. If you lose all your strength, he will seem even more decadent.

The emperor saw that Zhou Shuren was becoming more and more old-fashioned, and he felt bad. He thought of himself and softened his tone. He didn't care how much Zhou Shuren was acting. "I know all your grievances. I have summoned Prince Qi to the palace and will investigate every household. I will definitely get to the bottom of it and give you an explanation."

Zhou Shuren regained his strength after hearing this. His voice was really hoarse. "Your Majesty, I am not wronged, I am just scared. My first half of life was ordinary, and I achieved great success in the second half. But I couldn't live without my wife all the way. In the ordinary days, my wife managed the whole family and supported me. The rich days were mixed with too many things. My present is also inseparable from my wife. My glory is half of my wife's. I am really scared today."

Zhou Shuren's tone was very calm, without any acting, and he spoke the truth, which actually touched people's hearts even more.

The emperor's heart was shaken. Zhou Shuren couldn't get to where he is today without Yang, and he couldn't leave his wife either, who had been silently giving and supporting him all the time.

Zhou Shuren didn't stare at the emperor. He paused and continued, "People say that one can live without anyone in his life, but I don't think so. I really can't live without my wife. When I returned home and found that something happened at home, I thought, if my wife is in trouble, I will go with her. I want to go with my wife so that we can accompany each other on the road to the underworld."

The prince stared at Zhou Shuren, he carefully deciphered Zhou Shuren's words. Zhou Shuren's eyes were clear, this old fox was telling the truth, he remained silent, because of the matter of the Ministry of Revenue today, Zhou Shuren was too lazy to even go into the palace, he went straight home, something happened at home, Zhou Shuren didn't care about his face to go into the palace.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "I have always known that Shuren loves and respects Yang. Today I finally know how to love and respect her. Shuren, which is greater, the country or the family?"

Zhou Shuren curled his lips, feeling really embarrassed. In this time and space, his wife is the most important thing. All his changes are because of his wife. "The country is bigger than the family, but my heart is small. I can be loyal to the emperor and the country, but my heart is completely for my wife."

He only has his wife in his heart. As for his family, he was really useless because he was selfish before. Just like completing the tasks, he now has richer emotions, which is also guided by his wife.

The emperor looked at Zhou Shuren. This old fox had always been hiding his emotions in his eyes, but this was the first time he completely exposed his thoughts. Yang had moved up in his heart. Before, Yang was just a capable minister's wife, but now she was someone who could influence the minister's life. "Which is more important, your wife or your current power?"

Zhou Shuren said simply, "Wife."

The emperor moved his fingertips, "I understand."

Zhou Shuren relaxed his breath. He just wanted to let the emperor know that his wife was the most important. As long as he was useful to the court, his wife would be safer. The two assassination attempts really scared him to death. Moreover, during the transition of imperial power, he wanted to magnify his weaknesses to the emperor and the prince so that they could see clearly and feel more at ease with him.

Zhou Shuren's mind was very complicated. The longer he had been in the officialdom, the more he was involved. He would think ten steps ahead before taking each step. He could clearly analyze the pros and cons of speaking. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The prince finds Zhou Shuren more pleasing to the eye now. The old fox in the past was too slippery, so he was very wary of Zhou Shuren.

The emperor signaled Eunuch Liu to bring the assassin in.

Zhou Shuren was supported by the eunuch and sat on a chair, waiting for the assassin to come in. Zhou Shuren was surprised, "This face is wrong."

He knows his own girl very well.

Eunuch Liu replied, "Wearing a human skin mask, this is his original appearance."

Zhou Shuren's mind raced, "What the father-in-law meant was that my girl was murdered, and this assassin entered my house wearing a human skin mask?"

Eunuch Liu nodded, "Yes, sir."

The emperor has already seen the human skin mask on the tray, "Shu Ren is indeed blessed."

Zhou Shuren, "Hmm?"

The prince also laughed. He finally figured out why someone escaped during the last crackdown. The human skin mask was really a good thing. "Put it on her. I want to see it."

The man in black behind Eunuch Liu already had a bottle of medicine in his hand. He applied it and then gave it to the assassin.

Zhou Shuren stared with wide eyes, and she really became his big girl again. He stood up and looked carefully at her face to see if there was anything different, then quietly returned to his chair, "It's hard to find any flaws."

The emperor looked at Eunuch Liu, who explained, "It is indeed very difficult to find. I didn't find it during the interrogation just now. It was not until someone who is good at making masks came over that I found it. This thing needs medicine to be removed."

Eunuch Liu paused and continued, "Drop the medicine into the water, and then wash it with water to know whether it is a human skin mask or not."

Zhou Shuren stared at the potion in the black-clad man's hand, "Your Majesty, there is an assassin in my family. I am afraid there are still some who have not been exposed. I want to go back and see if there are still people wearing human skin masks."

The emperor agreed and signaled Eunuch Liu to give the potion to Zhou Shuren.

Eunuch Liu felt a little pained, "Sir, only one or two drops are needed, this bottle."

Zhou Shuren interrupted Eunuch Liu and sighed, "I have climbed up all the way, but I have seen too little. My means of self-protection are useless. I cannot compare to the foundation of a big family, sir."

This time the prince interrupted, "Master Zhou, this bottle is all yours."

Zhou Shuren forced a smile, although it was quite eye-catching, "I thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Eunuch Liu handed the bottle to Zhou Shuren speechlessly, "Master Zhou, the medicine is hard to come by, you must use it carefully."

Zhou Shuren put the baby into his arms, "I know, I know."

There are so many good things in ancient times. Thinking about all kinds of poisons, ancient times were quite dangerous.

Prince Qi arrived, and the first person he saw when he came in was Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren was crying loudly at the palace gate, and the news had spread throughout the capital. But he only took one look and then looked away.

The King of Qi greeted him and said, "I, your son, kowtow to your father and greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhou Shuren, "."

He felt offended.
