If it were more than ten years ago, how could King An be captured so easily?
But now, he has been at ease for too many years, and fair-weather women have long corroded his body and mind.
It had only been two days of starvation, and he already felt that his whole body couldn't bear it.
When he finished writing the booklet for sealing, Zhou Tianci came to get it in person.
The father and son were in the room, staring at each other. Wang An gritted his back teeth and asked Zhou Tianci why he did this to him.
After hearing King An's question, Zhou Tianci took the booklet with the invitation and sneered.
"When your father asks his son why, it is better to ask yourself. Your son cannot live long in this body, but your good sons still don't let him go. What your father did to them is really nothing.
Don’t you know?”
Hearing Zhou Tianci's words, King An couldn't help but feel guilty, his eyes flickered, and he subconsciously did not dare to look into Zhou Tianci's eyes.
"What they did, I...how would I know."
"Really, my father really disappointed his son!"
Zhou Tianci lowered his eyes, smiled, then turned around and walked out.
When King An heard Zhou Tianci's words, he suddenly felt anxious and wanted to follow him out, but was stopped. He only heard the eldest son saying to the guards who were looking at him.
"Serve the prince well and don't let anyone see him."
"Godsend, Godsend, come back!"
King An watched his legitimate son walking further and further away, anxiously holding the door open and shouting loudly towards Zhou Tianci's back.
However, Zhou Tianci didn't even pause in his steps. In the conversation just now, his last trace of hope for King An disappeared.
Zhou Tianci just walked out of the courtyard where Prince An was imprisoned, and saw his mother and concubine standing not far away, looking at him.
"Your father didn't leave many useful people before. If you want that position, I'm afraid you may not be able to achieve the goal you want even if you work a hundred times harder. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Mother, concubine, with my body now, I can drag on for a day. Anyway, I will die anyway, so why not die vigorously."
Zhou Tianci smiled at Princess An, and then said.
Hearing her son's words, Princess An turned her head and gently wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Okay, now that my son has made up his mind, as a mother, I can only do my best to help. Unfortunately, your uncle has died in the battle. Otherwise, with his help, you can get twice the result with half the effort."
Princess An felt very sad when she thought of her brother Xuan Pinghou.
When the emperor suppressed her, she followed her husband cautiously from the capital to Shunan.
But as a result, after his son became ill and weak, the husband cared a little about him at first, but later he only cared about his own life and debauchery, and didn't care about the life and death of the mother and son.
Because her son has no interest in fame and fortune, Princess An naturally doesn't care whether Prince An's palace is good or bad.
He just hides in his own yard, guarding the one-third of an acre of land, and doesn't care about worldly affairs.
"When something happened to my uncle, it was probably because he was related to us."
Zhou Tianci shook his head, it was not as simple as Princess An thought.
The current emperor is wary of his own family. When he was in the capital, even though he was still young, he could still sense that the emperor in the capital was full of malice towards their family.
My uncle holds military power. I'm afraid the emperor will have trouble sleeping all night long if he doesn't take it back!
However, Zhou Tianci suddenly paused and looked up at his mother and concubine.
"A few years ago, a family named Shi moved outside the city and the business was doing well. I was able to escape death last time thanks to the owner of the family who saved me. Speaking of it, it was really a coincidence that she and my mother-in-law actually married each other.
My uncle has the same surname."
When Princess An heard what her son said, she was stunned and thought carefully about the news sent from the capital over the years.
Of the adult men in my brother's family, only his legitimate son Shiji is left, while the only female relatives are his mother and sister-in-law.
The rest are all concubines.
Those who can come here to do business will definitely not be those concubines.
And when Shi Ji ascended the throne in the capital and became Uncle Xuan Ping, it was even more impossible for him to come here to do business in the poor valleys.
However, since the other party saved his son, he had to show something.
"It's really a coincidence. If it weren't for your uncle's family, only Shi Ji was left in the capital to serve as Xuan Pingbo. I might have thought that he had come to southern Sichuan! However, even if the other person is not a member of the Shi family, he will still be your savior.
, when the time comes, please ask the housekeeper to give him a generous gift, and then let He Zhizhou provide more convenience for his family."
Since the Liu family has abandoned the gift of heaven, it is naturally impossible for Princess An to make friends with the Liu family again.
On the other hand, the He family has always been from Prince An's Mansion.
It's just that King An didn't have that thought at the beginning, so he naturally wouldn't move the chess piece.
But Princess An knew everything about all the forces that King An had at the time, including these nails.
Just leave it to your son to be a helper.
After hearing his mother's words, Zhou Tianci felt that things might not be that simple.
After all, the people who came to Shunan City were not men, but women.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tianci's thoughts were a little dazed.
He remembered that when he left the capital, his grandmother sent good news to his mother and concubine, saying that his aunt had given birth to a pair of twins.
And five years ago, before my uncle died in the war, my twin cousin also passed away.
Just after the death of my cousin Xiangxiaoyu, there was a family named Shi outside Shunan City, and the head of the family was still a woman.
How can there be such a coincidence in this world?
When the housekeeper brought gifts to Shi's village outside the city, Zhou Tianci went with him for some unknown reason.
Hearing that Zhou Tianci had arrived, Shi Jiangdao was a little strange. It was just a gift, so why would he come in person?
"I have taken the liberty to come here to disturb you, and I ask the girl to forgive me. However, it is a coincidence that the girl and my mother have the same surname, so I can't help but feel curious and want to ask if there is any relationship between the girl's family and Marquis Xuanping?
"
When Shi Jiang heard Zhou Tianci's question, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he must have missed something somewhere, and Zhou Tianci found out.
Thinking of what Zhou Tianci had done during his return, Shi Jiang smiled and did not deny it.
"There is indeed some relationship, but now that Marquis Xuanping is no longer here, it would be in vain to say more!"
Hearing what Shi Jiang said, Zhou Tianci didn't understand.
"If the girl encounters any difficulties in the future, please feel free to come to Prince An's Mansion to find me. I will do my best."
Zhou Tianci shook his sleeves, bowed to Shi Jiang and said solemnly.
Shi Jiang just smiled at Zhou Tianci's promise.
After all, she has no pursuit of fame and fortune.
When Zhou Tianci made this promise, he also meant it sincerely.
However, I didn’t expect that just a few months later, I would be slapped in the face!
Unexpectedly, he was the one who needed help in the end.
