422 His Ident.i.ty Is Real
General Qi frowned when he heard that. Zhou Heng’s ident.i.ty was really a little troublesome.
His marriage with Su Xiaoling was really not something that could be resolved quickly.
Father Qi scratched his head and couldn’t think of a good solution.
Qi Xingfeng and Qi Xingzhi were shocked.
!!
Qi Xingfeng’s face turned red as he held back the words he wanted to ask.
“Are you telling the truth? You’re not lying to us?”
General Qi looked at Zhou Heng solemnly and stared at his face. He did not let go of any of Zhou Heng’s facial expressions. As the prince and the eldest son of the empress, this was not child’s play.
If Zhou Heng lied, he would be dead.
Zhou Heng looked straight at General Qi and said, “Everything I said just now is true. If anything is fake, I will be struck by lightning in the Three Realms.”
General Qi looked at Zhou Heng. He often saw the emperor and the empress. Zhou Heng’s appearance did not resemble the empress at all. However, he also explained that in order to avoid future trouble, the divine doctor had pushed his bones for him when he was escaping. His appearance would not be similar to his parents.
Even if his relatives stood in front of him, they would not be able to recognize him.
“This is no small matter. Right now, the Second Prince is indeed the most favored by His Highness. The Second Prince is indeed scheming. The entire capital knows about that order. The Empress really doesn’t like him.”
General Qi said slowly. He looked at Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng and Zhou Zhi were indeed two different people. The former’s gaze was magnanimous, while the latter’s gaze was always dark.
In the royal family, it was a pity for the brothers to kill each other.
There was no need for dark and cruel tyrants in the world.
“I know Lord Wei. Now that I know about you, I definitely won’t sit back and do nothing. If you want to see the Wei family, let me pull the strings.”
General Qi looked at Zhou Heng and said. If he did not know about this, he could sit back and do nothing. However, if he knew, he could not sit back and do nothing.
If Zhou Heng wanted to fight for the throne, he had to return to his status as a prince as soon as possible.
“I’ll visit Lord Wei tomorrow. Just wait for my news.”
General Qi had an idea and had already thought of what to do.
Zhou Heng nodded. He bowed to General Qi and said, “General Qi, thank you.”
With General Qi’s help, it would be much easier for him to see his grandfather. It would also be much less dangerous.
General Qi looked at Zhou Heng and said seriously, “I’ll help you, but you have to agree to one condition. After you recover your ident.i.ty, you have to be engaged to Xiaoling immediately. Moreover, Xiaoling has to be your main consort.”
There were too many variables in the matter of the royal family.
However, Su Xiaoling liked him. As her great-grandfather, he naturally had to help.
Zhou Heng cupped his hands seriously and said, “General Qi, you don’t have to say anything. I’ll do it. The first thing I’ll do after I recover my ident.i.ty is to marry Xiaoling.”
Zhou Heng knew very well that Su Xiaoling was already 18 years old. She could not wait for him, and he did not want her to wait.
Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaoling and smiled. “Xiaoling is not only my main consort, but she will also be my only wife. Even in the future, when I reach the throne, she will be the only one by my side. I won’t let her down or abandon her.”
Su Xiaoling’s face was already red. She lowered her head shyly.
She could feel Zhou Heng’s affection at this moment.
“Alright, that’s for the best.”
General Qi said loudly, very satisfied with Zhou Heng.
If an emperor did not indulge in beauty, they would have more time to govern the country. This was a good thing for the country and the people.
Without the women in the harem, there would be fewer conflicts between the princes. In the future, there would be more sons in the royal family.
Zhou Heng smiled gently at Su Xiaoling. How could he not understand a woman’s heart?
In this world, no woman was willing to share her husband with another woman. And true love could not tolerate a third person interfering. A person’s heart was very small and could only accommodate one woman.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao could not help but smile at Zhou Heng’s straightforward thoughts.
Su Xiaoling’s face was red, and her heart felt as if it had eaten honey.
Su Chong and the others also smiled.
With the help of the Qi family, there were fewer obstacles for Zhou Heng to recover his ident.i.ty. This was a good thing.
At night, Su Sanlang and the others were drunk.
Su Xiaoling was also a little drunk. Su Xiaolu also watched Su Xiaoling sleep. For her sister’s happiness, she had to work hard.
The next day, General Qi left the residence solemnly. He asked Su Sanlang’s family to wait for his good news at home.
The current empress’s mother, the Wei family, had many scholars. The current empress’s biological father was now the Grand Tutor, Lord Wei, a first-rank official.
Although they did not interact much, they knew each other.
The manservant immediately reported General Qi’s visit to the Grand Tutor’s residence.
Not long after, Grand Tutor Wei Guangrong’s son, Wei Xiaotian, came out to welcome him. He cupped his hands at General Qi and smiled. “Grand General Qi, what brings you here? Please come in.”
General Qi asked directly, “Where’s your father?”
Wei Xiaotian chuckled and said, “My father is unwell and can’t see anyone. Grand General, if there’s anything, you can tell me.”
Wei Xiaotian didn’t know why General Qi was here, but since he was here, he had to treat him well.
When General Qi heard this, he frowned and shook his head. “You can’t make the decision. I have to see your father.”
Wei Xiaotian could not handle such a big matter as Zhou Heng. Wei Guangrong had to step in.
Wei Xiaotian’s smile was a little stunned, but then he felt relieved and continued to smile. “Grand General, my father is sick. He has already said that I will be in charge of all the matters in the residence. I think he really trusts me, and I will definitely not let him down. I can make the decisions in this residence, no matter how big or small.”
Martial arts pract.i.tioners were straightforward. He did not want to argue with General Qi. He had already said so much. He believed that General Qi would understand.
No matter what it was, he could only tell him. He made this very clear.
General Qi looked at Wei Xiaotian solemnly and said, “This matter is about the Empress’ eldest son. Can you make the decision?”
General Qi immediately understood what Wei Xiaotian meant. He could not be bothered to beat around the bush with Wei Xiaotian. Since he insisted on knowing, he would just say it.
General Qi’s expression was serious. Wei Xiaotian’s expression changed when he heard that. He lowered his eyes and replied, “I can’t make the decision on this matter. The Grand General has news about the Eldest Prince. Please follow me.”
Wei Xiaotian immediately led General Qi into the inner courtyard. On the way, he secretly sized up General Qi a few times, trying to figure out what he was up to. Unfortunately, General Qi only had a serious expression. Other than that, he could not see anything else.
Wei Xiaotian pushed open the door and called out softly, “Father, there’s something important. Please wake up.”
