Chapter 1109 Letter

When they arrived at the gate of the capital, King Liang snorted at Zhou Changzhi, who was also riding a horse, and said, "Do you still think I'm deceiving you this time?"

Zhou Changzhi didn't think so. In fact, after a few days of traveling, he believed it. The letter was true. He was used to the cold words of King Liang. He said calmly, "Your Highness, shall we go directly to the palace, or shall I go home first?"

Prince Liang choked and said coldly, "Enter the palace."

Chang Zhi lowered his head and smelled his clothes. He wanted to go home first. This set of clothes had been passed down for two days. When King Liang said fast riding, he really did ride fast. He rode a horse all the way. Fortunately, his riding skills were good, but he also suffered a lot. At the beginning, he was not used to fast riding and his thigh was rubbed. If it weren't for Shen Xing's ointment, he really couldn't bear it. Now there is a welt on the inside of his thigh.

Once we entered the capital, we were no longer in a hurry and headed straight to the imperial palace.

At the city gate, there were guards. When they saw Prince Liang, they quickly returned to the palace to report. In the past few days, the emperor was not concerned about the drought, but was thinking about when Prince Liang would arrive in the capital.

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren also received the news. The guards invited Zhou Shuren into the palace. Zhou Shuren knew what was going on: Prince Liang had returned to the capital and brought the box back with him.

Zhou Shuren was the last one to arrive. Prince Liang had already gone to the side hall to change his clothes, including Changzhi's clothes.

The emperor had already taken the tools and opened the sealed box, motioning Zhou Shuren to stand up and come over, "One layer has been opened, there is still one layer to go."

Zhou Shuren thought he saw it, because he saw the lock on the second layer. Seeing the emperor looking at him, Zhou Shuren curled his lips and said, "My mother didn't explain it clearly."

So don't ask him where the key is.

The emperor nodded, took the tool from Eunuch Liu, and opened the lock in a few seconds. If he had not been waiting for Zhou Shuren, he would have opened the lock long ago.

Zhou Shuren's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, do you have another skill?"

This technology is amazing.

The tea in the mouth of Prince Liang almost spit out. Zhou Shuren was really casual in his words. The key point was that his father was not angry at all. He replied proudly, "That's right. I often secretly opened the lock to steal food from the kitchen in the past. This lock is nothing. I can open many locks."

Zhou Shuren said with emotion: "Your Majesty has demonstrated the importance of having a craft. It seems that I should also learn a craft."

The emperor said, "I will teach you how to open the lock."

Zhou Shuren was tempted, "Is it okay?"

"Of course you can. If you want to steal money from your family in the future, I guarantee your wife won't know."

Zhou Shuren, "......."

This tone seems to be very experienced!

King Liang was completely furious this time!

The prince coughed. He seriously suspected that the silver that his mother lost was taken by his father, otherwise where did his father get his experience?

The emperor has taken out a bunch of keys, several letters, and several jade pendants from the box. The jade pendants belong to the direct descendants of the Rong family. There are not many things inside, because the outside is well sealed, and the things inside the box are kept intact.

The emperor stared at a bunch of keys. The shape of these keys were not ordinary keys. Then his attention was on the letter. As for the jade pendants, the emperor pursed his lips. People and jade pendants are inseparable. These jade pendants are wrong.

The emperor took the letter from his mouth and took out a few pages of paper. It was not a letter, but a family tree with not only names but also annotations.

Zhou Shuren was right next to the emperor. When he saw the name and the label behind it, his eyes widened. It was amazing that the Rong family had such a secret.

The emperor felt very complicated. He saw several male names. No wonder, no wonder the Rong family had never had twins born. His own uncle was one of the twins. Only one of the Rong family's twins would be kept. The other one was not lost, but hidden in the dark.

There were three pairs of twins born in the Rong family, and my uncle was the only one in nearly a hundred years. It was not my uncle who died that year. Both my uncle and my aunt were sent away. The one who died was my uncle who was hidden by the Rong family.

Zhou Shuren saw his mother's name, Rongying, the sixth child in the family, so Liuniang. His mother was not from the original direct lineage. His mother's father belonged to the same clan as Rong's Anwei. He died while trying to save the direct lineage of the Rong family, so his mother was given the birth of a direct lineage.

Zhou Shuren was in a very complicated mood, so he couldn't go to heaven!

After the emperor looked through the list, he found that the men on it were not only the uncle who had been sent away, but also the others, all of whom were given the status of legitimate descendants.

The emperor picked up another letter, which was written by Zhou Shuren's mother to Zhou Shuren. It explained her life experience and told Zhou Shuren to bring the jade pendant to the capital. The last and most important thing was that the coffin brought into the capital first turned out to be the coffin of his uncle and aunt.

At that time, Zhou Shuren's mother walked alone and caught up with his uncle and aunt. However, his uncle was unlucky. When he arrived, the village was attacked by bandits. His uncle died, and his aunt also died. His aunt's belly was moving, and Zhou Shuren's mother cut open her belly and found the child was alive.

The emperor held the letter and it made sense. As for the extra coffins, they were for the purpose of confusing people. Adding one more person to the tomb could also conceal some traces.

Zhou Shuren was standing there stunned, he thought his mother was really amazing and he was extremely proud of her.

The emperor turned to the next page and here came the key point. Someone had checked and found it inconvenient to bring the child, so they found a family in the county who had just given birth and was breastfeeding the child, so that she could divert people away. When she came back, a big fire had broken out in the county town. When she found the family, both the man and the child were gone. They kept guarding for many days, but still no one came back.

Zhou Shuren's eyes were a little wandering, so when his father found his mother, she was in a bad state because the child was lost. Indeed, how could she be in such a good state? If it weren't for the need to find the child and the responsibility on her shoulders, his mother would have died long ago.

The emperor continued to watch. Zhou Shuren's mother searched for a while, but did not dare to leave, so she did not go far. In the end, she married Zhou Shuren's father. Moreover, Zhou Shuren's mother asked Zhou Shuren's in-laws to find someone. Unfortunately, the war broke out, making it even harder to find that person.

Zhou Shuren's mother was always depressed. The longer time went by, the more hopeless she felt. When the war ended, Zhou Shuren's mother wrote a letter and put it in the box.

Because he felt guilty about not finding his child, years of depression burst out and he fell ill suddenly, and passed away without explaining himself clearly.

Zhou Shuren understood everything now. No wonder he died with his eyes open. Such a big secret only required him to tell a few words. Finally, his hand pointed in the direction of the ancestral tomb.

Afterwards Zhou Shuren broke out in a cold sweat. His mother lost the child of the emperor's biological uncle. This turn of events was a little hard for him to accept. And what about the heavens? He should stop dreaming.

The emperor was not angry. If Zhou Shuren's mother had not caught up with him, the child would have suffocated to death. Moreover, the letter left a birthmark on the child's body, which was already good enough!

It was Zhou Shuren's mother who brought the important news of the Rong family. The other jade pendants were very important news, as well as the key, and the uncle's responsibility was only to pass it on.

The emperor picked up the last letter again.
