Zhou Zhi placed the envelope in the box. The smile on his lips did not disappear. He said calmly, “Let’s go and see what he wants to say.”
Being the Crown Prince was what he wanted, but it was the same for being the emperor. He did not want to be like Zhou Heng, who had been the Crown Prince for more than ten years and was only the Crown Prince.
He would become an emperor as soon as possible. Only then would he have more time to do what he wanted.!!
He didn’t care what others said about him. He would get what he wanted himself. As for whether those people were willing to submit to him, it didn’t matter. He just needed them to always revere him.
Zhou Zhi quickly arrived at the dark prison. Looking at the dying Mei Jue, Zhou Zhi sat down calmly and said calmly, “What did Lord Mei want to say to me?”
Mei Jue was tied to a cross rack. There were not many pieces of good flesh left on his body. The smell of blood and decay exuded from his body, but the man three meters in front of him was extremely elegant. If it weren’t for the fact that he didn’t have legs, this battle probably wouldn’t have started at all. He would have been the destined Crown Prince.
Mei Jue opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, “His Highness is good. It’s a pity that you’re disabled and can never be in that position… Hiss…”
Before Mei Jue could finish speaking, he was whipped by Jin Liu.
Mei Jue felt pain, but he chuckled. He was the loser, and there was only one word left for him: death. He had to hurt Zhou Zhi ruthlessly.
They were all sly old foxes, so they naturally stabbed wherever it hurt the most.
Zhou Zhi would always care about the disability in his body. Even if the spiritual energy in this world recovered, his legs stopped after recovering to a certain extent. Wasn’t it because he cared that he kept trying?
Zhou Zhi’s expression did not change. He said coldly, “Lord Mei, Zhou Liao promised you power, so you were wholeheartedly paving the way for him. He promised you that as long as you escaped, he would protect your family. You’re quite loyal, but unfortunately…”
Zhou Zhi paused, his cold eyes filled with mockery. He raised his leg and placed his lazy hands on it. It was clearly an improper move, but he did it with a strong aura.
Mei Jue’s heart tightened. He couldn’t help but ask, “What happened to my family?”
“The 320 people of the Mei family will be executed for colluding with the enemy—”
Zhou Zhi said the ending casually.
Mei Jue’s eyes were red as he roared, “No, no, that’s impossible. You’re lying!”
He really could not withstand such torture day after day. He would not die and it was impossible for him to even faint. He could not take it anymore, so he had made up enough last words in his heart to convince Zhou Zhi. However, he did not expect the news Zhou Zhi brought to make him even more desperate.
It had been three months since he tried to escape. He had been stopped by Zhou Zhi’s men when he was being sent out.
He knew that once he fell into Zhou Zhi’s hands, even if he had no way out, he would not want to live anymore.
But, but his family…
Zhou Zhi raised his hand and patted it gently. Soon, a few corpses were carried in from outside.
Zhou Zhi smiled. “Lord Mei, take a good look. These 320 people are real. I personally checked them.”
As soon as he said this, Mei Jue’s soul seemed to have been sucked out. He could no longer stand upright and collapsed on the torture rack.
Zhou Zhi said again, “This is the person you were loyal to. Do you think you can protect him by escaping? Zhou Ying, Zhou Yan were quite tactful, but he wanted to compete with me. He has some schemes, but how can an ant compare to a tiger? Zhou Zhi can’t do a word of what he promised you.”
Mei Jue felt his heart ache. Zhou Zhi mocked his loyalty, mocked his blindness, and compared Zhou Liao to an ant. Mei Jue’s throat was filled with blood. He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Zhou Zhi with difficulty. “Have you forgotten your prophecy? You can’t be the emperor. There are rumors about you everywhere. Even if you become the emperor, there will be people who will rebel. At that time, the entire Great Zhou will be in turmoil and the people will have no peace.”
Zhou Liao was very smart. This battle for the throne was allowed by the emperor, unlike more than ten years ago, when Zhou Liao, Zhou Ying, Zhou Yan, and the others were still young. Zhou Zhi was not fighting for the throne with Zhou Heng, and Zhou Heng was the Crown Prince.
Zhou Liao was extraordinary and half of the imperial court supported him. His power had already reached the royal court a few years ago. Zhou Zhi had retired from the royal court for more than ten years. If he did not come and fight for the position of Crown Prince, Zhou Liao would definitely be the Crown Prince. The commoners had a lot of discussions about this disabled Wisdom King. Everyone knew that he was not the best candidate for the throne.
Therefore, when Zhou Liao came looking for him, Mei Jue chose Zhou Liao.
However, in just two years, Zhou Zhi had regained control of the royal court. Zhou Ying and Zhou Yan were all eliminated. Zhou Liao should be out soon. He did not know what was going on outside in the past three months.
Mei Jue’s heart was in turmoil. He looked at Zhou Zhi, whose expression did not change, and his heart was solemn and fearful. Zhou Zhi was a natural emperor. He was at ease in power struggles, but why did such a person have no legs…
“Looks like Lord Mei hasn’t thought it through.’
Zhou Zhi flicked the non-existent dust on his sleeves and was about to get up and leave.
Mei Jue came back to his senses and hurriedly said, “Wait, wait…”
He shouldn’t have been distracted.
He looked at the corpse on the ground, his eyes filled with tears. In this world, even if the spiritual energy recovered, most of them were ordinary people. He, Mei Jue, was one of them. He studied hard to take the scholarly examination and worked hard to deal with any changes. He took sides in the struggle for the throne and so on. He worked hard to survive.
His wife, Madam Guo, had been with him since he was poor. She was a real wife.
But now, she was lying there with a broken neck. The needle and thread indicated what had happened to her. Her youngest son was also among them. Mei Jue closed his eyes and tears of blood fell. He said with difficulty, “Your Highness, if I confess, can I bury my family?”
Zhou Liao, His Highness King An, did not keep his promise. Why should he continue to hold back? What happened to the world had nothing to do with him.
The outcome was already set.
Zhou Zhi looked at Mei Jue with a cold expression. He said coldly, “Okay.”
With that, Zhou Zhi left without looking back.
Mei Jue confessed. Everything he confessed could kill Zhou Liao.
Zhou Ying and Zhou Yan were considered tactful. Zhou Zhi let them live, but Zhou Liao had to die. He would not give him any chance to struggle on.
On August 13th, Zhou Zhi was officially conferred the title of Crown Prince.
He wore a black embroidered golden python robe and conferred an imperial edict. He ascended step by step and finally arrived beside the emperor, Zhou Zhao, to worship his ancestors with him.
Zhou Zhao revealed a satisfied smile. He was very satisfied with Zhou Zhi’s ability, but his gaze would dim when it landed on his legs. Unfortunately, such an outstanding son had been permanently disabled. This was like a flawless white jade plate with an irreparable gap.
Seeing the officials bow, Zhou Zhao said to Zhou Zhi, “Zhi’er, Father is proud of you. From now on, the burden on your shoulders will be even heavier. Learn from me..
