The rain has not stopped, and the study is getting darker and darker, and the candlesticks are very bleak and bleak.

Zhu Yunxuan was restless and sat on pins and needles: "When did I treat King Zhao so harshly that King Zhao was reluctant to light two more candles?"

Liang Zhen smiled softly: "I have become accustomed to this dim room since I was a child, but I forgot that His Majesty was there. This is because I neglected him."

The lights all over the room were lit, and the candlelight flickered, Liang Zhen's smiling eyes became brighter and hotter, and Zhu Yunxuan was at a loss: "...What do you mean by playing a small habit of a dark room?"

Liang Zhen shook his head slightly: "The mother of this minister is a snake-hearted person. When the minister was only three or two years old, he would often lock the minister alone in a room with no lights. After a few hours, the number of times allowed him to get used to it."

Zhu Yunxuan frowned when he heard the words: "She is your mother, why would she do this?"

Liang Zhen fiddled with the chess pieces at will, and said indifferently: "Naturally, if it is not his own, it will not hurt."

Zhu Yunxuan's heart sank. This was the first time that Liang Zhen admitted in person that he was not Mrs. An Lehou's biological son: "...Not biological?"

Liang Zhen raised his eyes to look at him, and smiled meaningfully: "Didn't Your Majesty know it long ago? Not only is Mrs. An Lehou not the biological mother of the minister, and the Hou Anle is not the biological father of the minister."

Zhu Yunxuan clenched his fists hard. He knew it was one thing, but it was another thing when he heard Liang Zhen say it himself. If he didn't say that he could still deceive himself, if he really was the emperor's son, what they used to be would be a violation of morality. ** Brothers raped each other, this is the thing that Zhu Yunxuan felt humiliated and unwilling to face.

However, Liang Zhen didn't seem to feel embarrassed at all, and he was still smiling: "Why don't your majesty ask the minister about the past?"

Zhu Yunxuan said coldly, "What's there to ask?"

"The minister and His Majesty talk more, so that His Majesty will feel more distressed and distressed."

Zhu Yunxuan was about to laugh angrily: "Why should I feel sorry for you?"

"Your Majesty is so soft-hearted, if you feel that the minister is pitiful, you will naturally feel sorry for the minister."

"Ah."

Liang Zhen said to himself: "When I was a child, it was rare for the minister to have a full meal, and the minister's mother always said that the child would easily get sick if he ate too much food. It was really distressing to see those meals that I coveted but couldn’t touch, so now that I have opened my own house, I naturally have to search for famous chefs everywhere to satisfy my appetite.”

"Those nurses, maids, and servants who serve the ministers are well aware of the mother's mind, and they use all kinds of methods to toss the ministers. Before the age of ten, the places on the minister's body that outsiders can't see are everywhere. If you go to the minister's father, they will also say that the minister accidentally bumped into it, and then they will torture the minister even more severely."

"The minister's homework was not good, so the mother forced the minister to copy the book over and over again under the guise of teaching, even if his hands were shaking to the point where he couldn't hold the pen, he couldn't stop. If you don't want to make progress, use the ruler to slap the palm of the minister's palm until the skin is opened and the flesh is broken, and the minister has a 'memory'."

Liang Zhen smiled. Although he was trying to sell his poor sympathy, he could not hear much resentment and anger, as if he was just talking about things that had nothing to do with him. Zhu Yunxuan was inexplicably uncomfortable when he heard it, maybe he felt the same way. , He himself had a difficult time when he was a child, but the palace servants would not dare to abuse the prince no matter how neglectful they were, not to mention that he had a brother who protected him.

"...They know your identity, so why do they dare to treat you like this?"

Liang Zhen's mouth curled slightly: "What identity? An illegitimate child born by a concubine who was not seen by his family at all, whether he can recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestry is a question, but An Lehou still has fears, and as for that woman, he lost his heart. Crazy, I think that her son died because I took his life, I robbed her son of the throne, and naturally I have to take revenge."

Zhu Yunxuan was at a loss for words, and Liang Zhenfu laughed again: "I just passed ten years old, and my mother packed seven or eight beautiful maids into my room to teach me how to understand human affairs. She lost her body to be a waste, and those maids were her eyeliners, so the minister naturally wouldn't touch it. Later, rumors that the minister had a hidden illness began to circulate in the house, and then those gossips spread outside the house, even the late emperor listened to it. said……"

Zhu Yunxuan's face was slightly stiff. Whether Liang Zhen has hidden problems in that area is not known better than him.

Liang Zhen continued disapprovingly: "The late emperor was very worried before, he wanted to ask the imperial physician to diagnose and treat the minister, but the minister declined, and even today, there are still people discussing the matter of the minister in private, and I'm afraid that he will have to ask your majesty to correct the name of the minister. Well, after all, if there is any problem with the minister, Your Majesty is most aware of it..."

Zhu Yunxuan interrupted him angrily: "King Zhao said these frivolous words, so he is not afraid of being heard and ruining his reputation?!"

The smile on Liang Zhen's lips was even stronger: "There are only ministers and His Majesty here. Will His Majesty tell outsiders?"

Zhu Yunxuan simply stopped talking, Liang Zhen finally got serious after laughing, and his eyes sank: "So, Your Majesty, the Liang family treats the ministers like this, but they still want the ministers to help the ninth highness to ascend to the throne, so that the Liang family daughter Being the Empress Dowager of the Notre Dame, his Liang family became the emperor's foreign family, and since then they have flourished, why should the ministers let them do as they wish?"

Zhu Yunxuan was slightly startled, and after a moment he laughed at himself: "In this way, I took advantage of Liang's blessing and took a huge advantage."

"Your Majesty doesn't need to think too much, this position is yours and yours, and no one can say anything."

In the afternoon, the showers broke down and the sky reappeared.

Zhu Yunxuan put down the chess piece in his hand, glanced out the window, and sighed lightly: "The sky is clear, let's go back to the palace."

Liang Zhen curled his lips, ordered someone to prepare a car, and sent him out of the palace: "I will send your majesty back to the palace."

Zhu Yunxuan was noncommittal and went straight into the car. After all, what Liang Zhen wanted to do, he couldn't stop him.

Liang Zhen got on his horse, turned and glanced at the carriage behind him, the smile deepened in his eyes, and he ordered to set off.

Back in the palace, the two of them sat down when Feng Sheng served tea diligently, and Liang Zhen smiled when he saw this: "When did you have to do this kind of work yourself?"

Feng Sheng flattered: "Being able to serve your majesty and the prince is a servant's responsibility, and it is a servant's blessing."

He stayed by the side and refused to leave, ready to show his hospitality at any time, Zhu Yunxuan ignored him with a cold face, Liang Zhen narrowed his eyes lightly, and suddenly asked Zhu Yunxuan: "I heard that Your Majesty left the city this morning, and went to meet the former East Palace Crown Prince Taishi Old Zeng in person. , Your Majesty is thinking of restoring him?"

Before Zhu Yunxuan said anything, then Feng Shengxian changed his face and showed panic. He probably didn't expect that what he told Liang Zhen would be said in front of Zhu Yunxuan, but Liang Zhen seemed to have not heard it and just smiled at Zhu Yunxuan, Waiting for his answer.

Zhu Yunxuan glanced at him, his eyes slightly darkened: "So what? The Donggong witch case has already been rehabilitated, and the teacher was innocently affected. He is a capable minister. Now the court is hiring people, so why not call him back?"

Liang Zhen smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty is willing to reuse him, how dare you object, Your Majesty wants this old Zeng to join the cabinet?"

"With his qualifications, he is more than enough to join the cabinet. I want him to be the chief assistant of the cabinet," after a pause, Zhu Yunxuan sneered coldly, "Let's not talk about this, I am curious why King Zhao knows my whereabouts so well. It was a temporary decision to leave the palace this morning, and who did King Zhao hear about it?"

Feng Sheng, who was beside him, had already slid cold sweat on his forehead, and his calf began to tremble. Liang Zhen glanced at him and pretended to be surprised: "This Eunuch Feng specially sent someone out of the palace to pass the word to this minister, and the minister thought it was His Majesty. Let him inform the minister."

Zhu Yunxuan glanced at Feng Sheng coldly: "When did I tell you to tell King Zhao about me?"

Feng Sheng knelt down on the ground tremblingly, and Zhu Yunxuan asked in a deep voice, "Who told you to do this? Or did you make your own decisions?"

"The slaves are wronged, there are no slaves, slaves..."

Feng Sheng shouted injustice when he opened his mouth, and Zhu Yunxuan interrupted him impatiently: "Injustice? Did I wrong you, or did King Zhao wrong you?"

"Slaves... slaves..." Feng Sheng raised his head abruptly, kneeling and crawling in front of Liang Zhen, "King Zhao saves the slaves! The slaves are loyal to you, and the slaves are all for you!"

Zhu Yunxuan squinted at Liang Zhen, waiting for him to explain, Liang Zhen pushed aside the person who was about to jump on him, and said with disgust: "What Eunuch Feng said, the person you should be loyal to is His Majesty, how can you get involved in this? King, your heart can be punished."

Then he turned to Zhu Yunxuan: "Your Majesty has a clear view, I have nothing to do with him, and please, Your Majesty, don't misunderstand this minister."

"Really?" Zhu Yunxuan repeated softly, "That's because he has a tricky mind and wants to sell you with King Zhao?"

Liang Zhen disagreed: "Your Majesty's words, the minister dare not answer, no matter what the mind of this Eunuch Feng is, it has nothing to do with the minister."

Feng Sheng panicked and shouted: "King Zhao, how can you treat the slaves like this! The slaves have done so many things for you..."

"Drag." Zhu Yunxuan ordered coldly.

The Guardsmen armed with swords had already entered the door. Seeing that Liang Zhen was indifferent, Feng Sheng finally panicked and shouted incoherently: "Your Majesty, you can't do this to the slaves! The slaves belong to the late emperor! The slaves are entrusted by the late emperor. That inheritance edict... uh..."

All the words below were blocked. Feng Sheng was still trying to struggle, but his arm was removed by the Janissaries. He stared at him, but his blocked mouth couldn't say a single word, so he was dragged like this. go down.

The hall became quiet again, and Liang Zhen casually stroked the hem of his clothes, which had just been torn by the eunuch, and chuckled, "Your Majesty, are you happy now?"

Zhu Yunxuan looked at him hesitantly: "He worked so hard for you, you agreed with me to deal with him without even blinking an eye, so you won't be afraid of the cold in the hearts of your other cronies?"

Liang Zhen didn't care: "But he made you unhappy, His Majesty, and he killed him if he killed him. Who let him know too much, and his mind was too cunning, especially if you were disrespectful to Your Majesty, you should be damned."

Zhu Yunxuan's eyes flashed, and he stopped talking. Liang Zhen also smiled without saying a word, and picked up the teacup again.
