Chapter 535: Good at Finding a Place to Watch a Show

Zhou Shuren felt a little sore in the waist. He rubbed it and thought silently that after this was over, he would definitely exercise again. His body was about to fall apart. Fortunately, he didn't get carsick and didn't want to vomit.

Another half an hour passed and Zhou Shuren stopped sitting and lay down in the carriage. In modern times, forty-something is not considered old, but in ancient times, haha. He couldn't help but touch his hair, which had turned white. He felt sad and didn't know how long he could live!

There was not a single follower in the Fifth Prince's carriage. The people driving the carriage were from the government office. Only the Fifth Prince, Zhang Jinghong, was in the carriage. Zhang Jinghong calculated the distance. The closer he got to the capital, the more panicked he became.

If he hadn't used a substitute this time, he would have been seriously injured. He received news that more than one group of people wanted to kill him, so he clenched his hands. It must be some good brothers, but he didn't know who they were. Thinking of the prince, he sneered in his heart and wondered if the prince had taken action.

Zhang Jinghong let go of his hand and gripped the sword again with one hand, hoping that his guess was correct and Zhou Shuren could really protect him.

Half an hour later, the second prince to the fourth prince arrived at the palace gate. The crown prince was waiting at the palace gate. After his younger brothers got off the carriage, he turned around and left first.

The second prince followed closely behind, his eyes fixed on the crown prince's back. He really wanted to get past him.

The third prince followed slowly, he was so hungry, his heart was in his throat the whole time, and he was busy dealing with the orders, so he didn't eat a single bite. Of course he was also afraid that his father would notice that he had time for dinner, so in the end he could only starve.

The third prince regretted it very much. If he had known earlier, he would not have wasted time following the crown prince.

The fourth prince gritted his teeth. What a good opportunity, wow, it was gone just like that.

After walking for a while, the prince felt much better in his stomach. It was because he ate too much at night. The duck today was delicious. I can have another one tomorrow. Yes, the soup is also good. It warms my body.

In the main hall, the crown prince came in with a few annoying younger brothers. His father had just finished dinner. The crown prince took a closer look and saw that today's dinner was exceptionally sumptuous. You know, his father was usually very frugal. He seemed to hear the sound of saliva.

After rinsing his mouth, the emperor said to Eunuch Liu, "I have rewarded you. Now leave."

Eunuch Liu thanked him and quickly led his men out.

From the second prince to the fourth prince, "......."

They think their father did it on purpose!

Nearly an hour later, Zhou Shuren and his party finally arrived at the gate of the capital city. Zhou Shuren felt relieved. He had a very high status in the emperor's heart. He was really surprised. He felt that it was all thanks to him that Zhang Jinghong, the fake prince, could return unscathed.

Ever since he guessed that Zhang Jinghong was fake, based on his understanding of the emperor, he didn't care whether the bait was injured or not as long as it didn't die.

The fifth prince opened the curtain with mixed feelings. According to his analysis, he was the one pushed out by his father to serve as a sword for the crown prince. Now the last fantasy in his heart was gone. If his father wanted to protect him, his substitute would not be seriously injured. Just look at Lord Zhou and you will know. His father was protecting Lord Zhou. With this realization, Zhang Jinghong let down the curtain and sneered.

Zhou Shuren felt the murderous gaze and stroked his beard. The Fifth Prince was also a smart man. He felt that he would be angered and this time he would definitely be on the Fifth Prince's blacklist.

Zhou Shuren also lowered the curtain and pondered, wondering whether he should trick the Fifth Prince. Then he gave up. The Fifth Prince no longer needed him to trick him, as he had already been on the Emperor's blacklist. It was a pity, but he could at least trick him twice.

Someone was waiting at the city gate. Zhou Shuren had sent someone to deliver a message to the capital earlier. Zhou Shuren arrived at the palace gate smoothly. Lord Wei waited for Zhou Shuren to dismount and said, "Sir."

Lord Zhou greeted him, "Lord Wei, thank you for your hard work."

Lord Wei returned the greeting, "It is my duty, Your Excellency is too polite."

The fifth prince also got off the carriage. At this time, the emperor did not confirm the authenticity, so Zhou Shuren went ahead. Eunuch Liu was waiting at the palace gate. Zhou Shuren was surprised, "Eunuch Liu, it turned out to be you."

Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Lord Zhou. You seem to be a lot younger than the last time I saw you."

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

This sounds familiar. Has it spread to the palace? The emperor is really idle!

Zhang Jinghong stepped forward and asked, "Eunuch Liu, how is father these days?"

Eunuch Liu knew everything in his heart, but he had to pretend, "He really looks exactly like the Fifth Prince, but he seems to be a little fatter than the Fifth Prince."

The Fifth Prince felt guilty and then closed his mouth and refused to speak again. He was very uneasy. His disguise couldn't even fool Lord Zhou, let alone his father. Now that he was back in the capital, he felt relieved and had time to think about what to do next. He hoped that his guess was right, but he was still sweating profusely despite the biting cold.

Eunuch Liu retracted his gaze, "Sir Zhou, the Emperor is waiting!"

Zhou Shuren, "Please, sir."

Eunuch Liu did not dare to keep the emperor waiting, and led the way quickly. Although he was old, his pace was not slow at all.

At least, it was a bit strenuous for Zhou Shuren to follow. Zhou Shuren looked at the dark night sky and thought that he would be useless if he didn't exercise anymore.

Soon they arrived at the Zheng Palace, which was brightly lit. After Eunuch Liu reported, Zhou Shuren and Lord Wei went in. The winter tiles were biting, and Zhou Shuren knelt firmly. After listening to Lord Wei's kneeling, he fell silent. There were people who were stronger than him, and it hurt him just listening.

The emperor was used to hearing this, so he said calmly, "Stand up."

Zhou Shuren and Lord Wei, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Shuren felt pain in his knees when he stood up. He glanced at Lord Wei and saw that his movements were still very agile. Zhou Shuren was impressed. It turned out that people who practiced martial arts had strong physiques.

The emperor said to Lord Wei, "You have worked hard on the journey. Go back and rest first."

Lord Wei rarely has the opportunity to see the emperor. It is a great favor to be able to see him today. He suppressed his excitement and said, "Yes."

Lord Wei went out, and Eunuch Liu came in with Zhang Jinghong.

Zhou Shuren moved step by step and silently stood opposite the princes, leaving the middle seat empty, which was the best position for watching the show.

Not only the Fifth Prince was stunned, even the Crown Prince and several other princes were stunned.

The emperor suppressed his lip corners. Zhou Shuren's actions just now were really unsightly. He was quite good at giving up his position!

The prince smiled in his heart. Lord Zhou’s position was good, not worse than his at all.

The second prince had a wooden face. Was this to mean that he was looking for a place to watch a play? Did he understand correctly?

The third prince blinked his eyes. He realized that Lord Zhou was not only a first-rate liar, but also quite interesting.

The fourth prince narrowed his eyes. How come he saw a hint of his father in Lord Zhou!!!

The main hall was eerily quiet. Zhou Shuren stood there expressionlessly. He had just wanted to go back and rest with Lord Wei, but when he saw everyone looking at him, he blinked and said, "Don't bother me, I'm just a background board."

There was a smile in the emperor's eyes, and it was fun to meet him!

When the fifth prince saw his father looking at him, he finally came to his senses, knelt down with a thud, and started to cry, tears streaming down his face, "Father, you have to make the decision for your son. Father, what's in the mansion is fake, I am the real one, everything is a conspiracy, they are so bold as to replace the prince, father, I finally came back with great difficulty!"
