ongyu and I have always been under your care. When we encountered unfair things, you protected us like you would your own younger relatives.""Actually, in both Ah Yu and I's hearts, we have already be...Fu Shangyuan gritted his teeth as he spoke of this heart-wrenching and humiliating past. Though only a few words, it was enough to shock Fu Ming so much that he couldn't recover.

"This, this how is that possible."

At that time, he was residing in the cold palace. Although he didn't know much about what was happening outside the palace, he had heard some rumors.

It is said that the Princess Consort and young prince of King Jing were both killed on their way to visit relatives. I don't know about anything else.

At that time, Fu Ming also found it strange. If his memory served him right, the Princess Consort of King Jing shouldn't be from the Central Plains.

He had only seen King Jing's aunt once, and her appearance was not that of someone from the Daxia Dynasty.

Where did she go to visit relatives Did she go abroad to visit them

At that time, in order to protect his wife and children from being coveted by his elder brother, Fu Shangyuan did have plans to send people out of the pass.

He allowed his wife and children to go to Yuzhou to live for a while. It was close to the pass, and if his elder brother still had any unyielding actions, he could have them sent out of the pass at any time.

But what nobody expected was that trouble arose before the squad even reached Yuzhou.

Over the years, he has been following the leads on that gang of bandits. Fu Shangyuan has always suspected that his older brother was behind it all, but he hasn't found any proof yet.

But evidence or not, he and the man on the Dragon Throne had become sworn enemies.

One after another, there were just too many. They had existed since they were princes, but Fu Shangyuan could endure it.

"Nothing is impossible, you know too little about your father."

Fu Ming frowned tightly.

"Since Uncle Wang thinks that all of Father's sons are just like him, and I am also Father's son, why should he help me"

Fu Shangyuan twitched the corner of his mouth.

"You're different from your brothers."

To be honest, I had never really noticed you before.

"However, based on these days of contact, my choice should not be wrong."

"Little Seven, you have more ambition than you think. Have you looked into your own eyes in the mirror carefully"

"This is not the look of someone who is indifferent and dismissive of power."

"Instead, all I saw inside was a thick bitterness and longing."

Fu Ming narrowed his pupils, the king uncle was scarier than he imagined.

The ability to perceive the human heart is so subtle.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Fu Shangyuan restrained his expression and returned to the same calm and relaxed demeanor as before. He leisurely picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Little Seven can consider it for a while longer. Uncle Wang doesn't need an answer right this moment."

After all, he's waited this long, a few more days won't make a difference.

Fu Ming sank his heart, his mind turning over thousands of thoughts. After a long while, he raised his eyes to look at Fu Shangyuan.

Holding up the cup of tea that Fu Shangyuan had poured himself and left to cool on the table with both hands.

"In the future, please continue to look after me, Uncle Wang."

Fu Shangyuan seemed to have known all along that Fu Ming would agree, and he smiled as they clinked glasses.

"Sounds good."

As the sky gradually darkened, the palace gate remained firmly closed. Fu Ming couldn't sit still any longer; he paced anxiously in front of the gate.

During this period, people from the palace came looking for King Jing and Fang Jinshu, reminding them that the palace gates were closing. King Jing sent them all away one by one.

"Little Seven, calm down."

"Unless she promises you personally that she's sure, wouldn't your mother concubine be the only one to know"

“Dong’er said that her stepmother was particularly capable, she could do almost anything. She praised her like a goddess descending from heaven.”

Of course, Fu Ming wouldn't take a child's words seriously.

However, Fang Jinshi is indeed impressive.

She just never promises what she can't do.

After saying that, Fu Ming himself was stunned.

"That's right, since you know that in your heart, what are you worried about"

As soon as they finished speaking, there was a rustling sound from behind the palace door, followed by footsteps. With a creak, the door swung open from inside.

Fang Jinxiu's tired face appeared before the two of them.

"How is my mother"

Fang Jinshu nodded, "Rest assured, the surgery was a success."

"It will take about two hours for Your Majesty to wake up. Tomorrow, you must find a way to let me enter the palace again."

At this time, no matter what Fang Jinshu said, Fu Ming would only nod.

It might have been difficult to get her into the palace before, but now that her relationship with Uncle Jingwang is unclear, getting into the palace isn't just a matter of Uncle Jingwang saying yes.e all day long.He Zongpingchuan had finally made it to where he was today, with his current position. He absolutely would not allow anyone to ruin his future, including his wife and children.Even if w...
