There is a reason why Zhou Bo is so sure that the second prince is Di Zaiying's bloodline.

That night, he and Liu Xi went through great pains to send Di Zaying into the harem. He personally stood guard outside the palace and knew that the princess had had a romantic affair with Di Zaying.

Early the next morning, he sent Di Zaiying out of the palace at the princess's order.

When he returned to the Jinyu Palace, the Dog Emperor had already arrived and stayed there that night.

He knew that the princess could not resist the dog emperor, and that she had to submit to the dog emperor for the sake of the Northern Kingdom.

He was filled with grief and anger, feeling sorry for the princess and Di Zaiying who could not be together, but he could do nothing about it and tossed and turned all night.

He got up early the next day and saw Chu Rou secretly dumping something into the bushes behind the hall.

Chu Rou was a cautious person and she even grabbed some soil to bury the things that had fallen out.

He felt uneasy so he kept an eye on it. After Chu Rou left, he secretly opened it and took a look, only to find that it was actually drug residue!

He was worried that something had happened to the princess and he hadn't told them, so he took some medicine residue and went to see Liu Xi.

Liu Xi knew some medical skills. He took one look and said, this is clearly an abortion drug!

He was shocked, but when he came to his senses, he was ecstatic!

After the dog emperor forced the princess, the princess drank the contraceptive pills!

But when the princess was with Di Zaiying yesterday, she didn’t drink!

He also secretly asked Liu Xi whether the contraceptive medicine would still be effective if taken one day later. Liu Xi shook his head and said that the contraceptive medicine would be most effective if taken immediately on the same day, and it would be of little use if taken one day later.

He could hardly express the joy in his heart. Since the princess would take contraceptive pills after being forced by the dog emperor, if there was good news soon, it should be Di Zaiying's child!

From that day on, he prayed day and night!

After some time, the princess was diagnosed to be pregnant. He was not completely sure, so he muttered about Di Zaiying in front of the princess.

The princess did not refute him at that time!

From that moment on, he firmly believed in his heart that this child was the princess and Di Zaiying's, and was of pure northern blood!

Next, as long as they push this child to the position of emperor, wouldn’t the Yong Dynasty easily become theirs in the northerners’ hands!

Zhou Bo thought he had guessed Yu Liu's thoughts and plans.

If Aunt Rou knew that Zhou Bo's outcome was inferred in this way, she would really want to take Zhou Bo with her and die by hitting the pillar!

This contraceptive medicine was made on the morning of the day Di Zaiying left, and the princess drank it. She originally wanted to dispose of the residue immediately, but Emperor Yong arrived early.

Huang Pei, who was beside Emperor Yong, was a smart man. Aunt Rou was worried that he would find out, so she hid the medicine residue first.

As a result, Emperor Yong stayed until the evening and directly slept in the Jinhua Palace. She was busy serving him and had no time to deal with it.

After waiting for a long time until the next morning, Emperor Yong took Huang Pei to the morning court. The princess was tired and still sleeping, so she quietly went out to pour out the medicine residue.

Aunt Rou would never have thought that she had been extremely cautious with Emperor Yong and Huang Pei, but accidentally caused a huge misunderstanding with Zhou Bo!

Zhou Bo thought he had seen through Yu Liu's plan. After all, this way they could easily steal the country.

However, he didn't know that Yu Liu was far superior to him in both vision and strategy, and it was impossible for him to leave such a fatal flaw for the Second Prince.

After all, she also had to consider, what if the child in her belly looked like the father? If the bloodline was wrong, wouldn't it be a complete failure from the start?

As for Zhou Bo mentioning Di Zaiying in front of her, she did not refute it, but she also had some thoughts on her mind.

If the child looks like her, this misunderstanding will make her followers and her native country more willing to help the child in her belly.

Yu Liu made all kinds of calculations, taking everyone, including herself, into account.

But she could never have imagined that that tiny hesitation and thought back then would turn into the sharpest knife stabbing the Second Prince more than ten years later!

The instigator of all this was Zhou Liu, the follower she carefully selected and brought from the Northern Country!

Fate is so unpredictable.

The help that was once highly expected has now become a troublemaker. In the game of a group of smart people, a small deviation is enough to overturn the overall situation...

Under the pressure of Zhou Bo's series of words, the second prince slowly exhaled the foul air in his chest and nodded slightly.

He never had a way out.

In this pool of mud, he is the deepest and darkest one.

Countless filth grew around him, had already penetrated into his bone marrow, devoured his flesh and blood, and nourished his ambition.

Now, he can only move forward courageously and climb to the top by stepping on this blood!

Perhaps only on that day will he be able to poke his head out of the mud and truly feel what it feels like to live without being controlled.

When Zhou Bo saw the Second Prince nodded, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly settled down.

Yes, His Highness was raised by him.

He had already instilled so much about the Northern Kingdom into His Highness' mind, so naturally His Highness' feelings for the Northern Kingdom were deeper than those for the Yong Kingdom.

But this incident did serve as a wake-up call to Zhou Bo. If His Highness is not made aware of his own life experience as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles!

Thinking of this, Zhou Bo limped to the second prince on crutches.

After confirming that the room was guarded by secret guards, Zhou Bo suddenly held the Second Prince's hand tightly, lowered his voice, and said with tears in his eyes:

"Your Highness, I know that you will not let the princess and me down."

"Your Highness, actually...actually there is something I have kept from you for more than ten years. I think it may be time to tell you."

When the Second Prince saw the tears rolling down Zhou Bo's face, he felt a little fear in his heart for some reason.

The last time Zhou Bo showed such an expression was when he was four years old.

At that time, he had just become an official. He didn't understand why he had no mother, why his father never came to see him, and why everyone in the palace looked down on him.

Later in the dim palace, Zhou Bo had the same expression. He leaned over and took his hand, saying something that changed his life.

It turns out that he has foreign blood flowing in his body, it turns out that his mother died for him, it turns out that everyone in the palace, even his father, is his enemy!

Time goes by, and it seems like the scene of that year again. What does Zhou Bo want to say now?

Zhou Bo pursed his lips, which were dry due to excessive tension, looked into the eyes of the Second Prince, and said word by word:

"Your Highness, actually...actually you are not the blood of Emperor Yong, your biological father...is someone else!"

The words entered his ears and swept away like a gust of wind.

The Second Prince shook slightly, and suddenly felt the wound on his shoulder burning. The pain was so severe that he could not help but shake off Zhou Bo's hand.

But Zhou Bo immediately grabbed the Second Prince's sleeve again and said angrily:

"Your Highness, Di Zaiying! Do you still remember the name Di Zaiying? He...he is your biological father!"
