Chapter 618 - 618 Reversal
618 Reversal
When the princess from the previous dynasty saw who it was, her eyes shrank.
“You’re Zhuo Liang?”
The North Prince looked at him and laughed.
“No matter what, we’ve been husband and wife for more than ten years. You can’t even recognize the person you slept with?
“Yingying, you’re really heartless!”
The princess from the previous dynasty remained silent. Heartless, my ass.
She snorted coldly. “Who would recognize you with your bearded face and tall, burly appearance?”
She had not expected that her dead husband to be “resurrected”.
In the blink of an eye, he had turned from an ordinary Daliang soldier to the most powerful God of War in the Ge Kingdom, the North Prince.
Back then, although Zhuo Liang wasn’t thin, he wasn’t very burly.
He was handsome and looked simple and honest.
It was also because of this that when she escaped, the people around her were killed by Daliang’s soldiers.
She eventually married Zhuo Liang after he saved her.
This allowed her to hid her identity as the princess from the previous dynasty.
After she married Zhuo Liang, they didn’t spend much time together.
Most of the time, he went out to the battlefield, which was what she was looking forward to.
After all, she was a high-grade princess. She would naturally be unsatisfied to marry such an ordinary man.
After that, when she had hooked up with Prince Jin, they had discussed letting Zhuo Liang “die” on the battlefield.
She didn’t like her daughter, Zhou Jun, either, because she was the daughter of that ordinary man.
She was a stain on her life.
However, she was her biological child after all, and Prince Jin had said that she could make use of her, so she had kept Zhou Jun alive.
However, who would have thought that the ordinary man she had looked down on was actually the North Prince?
It was obvious that her daughter had known about this long ago.
The North Prince was able to bring his people to follow them here, and her daughter’s contribution could not be ignored.
She looked at Zhou Jun sharply. “Did you leave traces for them?”
Having been exposed by Xiao Hanzheng and on top of the fact that the person she had been waiting for had arrived, Zhou Jun stopped playing dumb. “Yes, I did.”
She then looked at the princess from the previous dynasty with a profound look. “Mother, you suddenly realized that my father, who you and Prince Jin had sabotaged, was still alive. Are you surprised?”
“Not surprised, just shocked,” the previous dynasty’s princess sneered.
Shi Qingluo understood the meaning behind her cold smile.
The princess from the previous dynasty and Prince Jin would never have thought that they would become the clown.
Zhuo Jun quickly stepped back and stood beside the North Prince.
She looked at him with adoration in her eyes. “Father!”
The North Prince patted Zhuo Jun’s shoulder and said with a smile, “In the future, call me imperial father. After I bring you back this time, you will be the princess of the North Prince’s mansion.”
Zhuo Jun smiled happily. “Thank you, imperial father!”
She was not happy about becoming a princess, but she was glad that she could openly be related to her father.
However, she had a big question in her mind.
So she looked at Xiao Hanzheng. “How did you know my identity? Have you never believed me?”
She had always been careful and thought that she had not revealed any flaws, so she could not figure out how Xiao Hanzheng knew.
“The emperor and I have never truly believed you,” Xiao Hanzheng sneered.
“However, I still have to thank you for giving the emperor the list of people from the previous dynasty and those who were siding with Prince Jin. It saved the emperor a lot of trouble in eliminating these traitors.”
What Zhuo Jun had said before, and the list of names that she had brought out, did seem to be true.
However, he and the emperor could not believe it so easily, so they had to verify everything.
He did not believe her even when the emperor told him that Zhuo Jun’s list was accurate.
Of course, the emperor didn’t trust her fully either, so he asked him to keep an eye on Zhuo Jun.
His wife had once said that even though she sympathized with Zhuo Jun’s situation, she just couldn’t get along with her.
She always felt that Zhuo Jun was wearing a mask, and she couldn’t bring herself to have a positive impression of her.
He felt this matter might not be that simple.
Then he asked his people to keep an eye on Zhou Jun.
When his scumbag father went to Heyang County, he told him half the truth about Zhou Jun and asked him to check if Zhou Jun had any contact with the Ge Kingdom.
Originally, he had only asked his scumbag father to investigate it out of caution. He didn’t expect that he would really find a problem.
His scumbag father had a strong networking at the northern border, so he naturally had spies in the Ge Kingdom.
They had found out that one of Zhuo Jun’s personal servants had been in contact with an advisor at the North Prince’s residence.
His scumbag father did not suspect that Zhuo Jun was related to the North Prince. Instead, he suspected that the personal servant was a spy planted by the North Prince’s advisor.
But he had a feeling that it was not the case, so he asked someone to investigate further, including Zhuo Jun’s father, who had died in the war.
Then, the people of the North Prince’s concubine appeared and was eyeing on Ge Chunru.
Originally, he only wanted to investigate those people.
After following the clues and investigating the secondary consort of the North Prince, he naturally wanted to find out how Ge Chunru’s mother had a relationship with the North Prince and was brought back to the Ge Kingdom.
Then he found out that the North Prince had used the identity of Zhuo Liang to contact Ge Chunru’s mother.
More importantly, he found out that Ge Chunru’s mother and Zhou Jun’s father had “died” in the same month.
How could there be such a coincidence?
Therefore, he ordered his people to focus on Ge Chunru’s mother and Zhou Jun’s father, and not to let go of any clues.
He had a rough understanding of the matter.
Ge Chunru’s mother had once helped the injured North Prince and fallen in love with him.
After all, the North Prince was much better than Ge Chunru’s father in terms of appearance and temperament.
Of course, it was also possible that Ge Chunru’s mother had found out that the North Prince’s identity was not simple, so she had fallen in love with him.
Therefore, Ge Chunru’s mother was very gentle, virtuous, and reasonable in front of the North Prince. She was also very loyal to him as if she could sacrifice her life for the North Prince.
A man like the North Prince had a very strong self-esteem.
Her strong love had greatly satisfied his dignity as a man.
In addition, he probably liked Ge Chunru’s mother, which was why he had asked Ge Chunru’s mother to fake her death and bring her back to the Ge Kingdom.
Then, Xiao Hanzheng purposely mentioned her father in front of Zhou Jun.
Her eyes were bright, and she was proud of him.
It was understandable for her to have such an expression on her face.
After all, Zhou Jun had told him that her father had loved her very much when she was young.
But why was she proud of him? What identity did her father have that made her proud?
She said that her father was a soldier who had died to protect the country, but Xiao Hanzheng did not believe that this was why she was proud of him based on her expression.
So, he connected all the previous intelligence together and came to the conclusion that Zhou Jun already knew that her father was not dead.
She knew her father’s true identity, and they had even been in contact.
It was also the North Prince who had ordered Zhuo Jun to surrender to the emperor and betray those from the previous dynasty and Prince Jin.
Her purpose was to make use of the emperor to fight against Prince Jin and the previous dynasty at the same time, so that the Ge Kingdom could reap the benefits.
After the North Prince appeared and Zhuo Jun revealing her mother’s and Prince Jin’s plans to him, he was even more certain of his judgment.
That was why he had taken the initiative to reveal Zhuo Jun’s identity when the people of Prince Jin and the previous dynasty’s princess were about to fight to their death.
It also forced the North Prince, who originally wanted to wait for Prince Jin and the previous dynasty’s princess to both suffer heavy losses, to reveal himself now.
When the three evenly matched parties attacked together, this kind of reversal was more interesting, and more thrilling to watch.
