Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 410 Chu Zhi Was Shocked

"This is your mother." Zhongyonghou looked at the person in the painting with memories and warmth in his eyes.

The person in the painting has a leisurely demeanor, beautiful eyes looking forward, like a pool of clear water, with the aloofness and coldness of the top of the snow mountain, which makes people photographed but dare not desecrate. She leans against the gazebo, with thousands of flowers blooming behind her, which is still not as good as her face Crystal clear as jade, looking back with lowered eyebrows, with a tender and charming attitude, delicate and tactful, glamorous and incomparable.

This is a strange woman who combines coldness and lust, flattery and arrogance to the extreme. Not only is she not abrupt, but she is even more confusing.

Chu Zhi looked at the people in the painting, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

She never thought that there would be such a fairy-like and demon-like woman in the world, not to mention a man, even she couldn't help marveling, she couldn't feel jealous, she could only look up.

And this is Han Zhan's biological mother.

Chu Zhi stared at Lian Ji's portrait for a long time, and said with a smile, "Ah Zhan looks like his mother."

Especially the coquettish air on her body.

It's a pity that Lian Ji was suppressed by her own coldness and arrogance, but Han Zhan carried the evil to the end.

"Yes!" Zhongyonghou laughed, "Zhan'er is as good as her, handsome."

Zhongyonghou's appearance is naturally not bad, but he has been on the battlefield since he was a child, his feng shui is exposed to the sun, his eyes are full of horror and blood, and he has a face with Chinese characters, which makes people look away and dare not approach him. People are much gentler.

What is the meaning of "Father, you let me see the portrait of my mother..."?
"You have been married for a while, and I should have brought you here long ago, but I didn't find the opportunity. I just happened to meet you today, so I will offer incense to your mother by the way!"

It was only then that Chu Zhi realized that there was a table in front of the portrait, on which were tribute fruits, pastries, fresh flowers, fresh water, and incense candles.

According to her words, she put three pillars of fragrance on Lian Ji, kowtowed three times respectfully, and then got up.

Zhongyonghou pressed a few times on the case, and suddenly his feet collapsed, and a long wooden ladder appeared.

This is……

"You come with me."

Chu Zhi followed Zhongyonghou down the ladder and went down the secret room. There were many weapons, rare treasures, and many classical books in it. In addition, there were two roads extending far away. where.

The holes cut out on the wall were embedded with night pearls, which illuminated the interior as if it were daytime, so Chu Zhi could see clearly.

"One of these two roads leads to the imperial palace, and the other leads to the outside of the city. The outside of the city is the property left by our ancestors to save our lives. There are not only trained dead soldiers, but also food, including gold, silver and jewelry, all from here. Several times, the secret passage in the palace exits in the cold palace, where there are few people and no one finds it."

This……

Chu Zhi blinked.

It took a while before he said nana: "Father told me about such an important matter..."

Chu Zhi was flattered.

How can she be worthy of Zhongyong Hou's trust?
Isn't father afraid that she will betray the Hou Mansion by betraying her?These are all the life-saving guys of the Hou Mansion, and if a slight leak is made, it will be a death penalty for implicating the nine clans, isn't this too childish?
Rao is as clever as Chu Zhi, and now he can't guess what Zhongyonghou is thinking.

"I know you won't." Zhongyonghou smiled, with a hint of exclamation, "I believe in Zhan'er's eyes, and I believe in my own eyes even more. I can see that you are a good boy."

"No, no, father, don't say that." The sudden approval didn't have any rhetoric, but Chu Zhi stuttered, unable to speak well.

"Ever since I learned about your analysis of the Hou Mansion from Zhan'er, I knew that you are a child with a big heart. Since you said that Emperor Xiao sent a secret guard to Beijing, I actually know that Emperor Xiao is For what?"

"Father knows?"

"He is to monitor the Hou's mansion." Zhongyong Hou's eyes flashed fiercely, "Or, it is to monitor you."

"Me?" Chu Zhi's heart skipped a beat, "Could it be that he still doesn't give up?"

Chu Zhi gritted his teeth, wordless anger and humiliation flooded his head.

"Hmph! Xiao Qirong is selfish and will repay every grievance, but he is better at disguising than anyone else. If he hadn't put on that yellow robe and sat in that position, otherwise no one could compare to him in terms of villainous behavior. If he hadn't been for him—" When he said this, hatred flashed across Zhongyonghou's eyes, and finally he suppressed it, "Forget it, it's all in the past, so don't mention it."

With Hou Zhongyong's reaction, Chu Zhi didn't want to ask more questions, so he bowed his head silently.

After a while, Zhongyong Hou sighed: "Actually, I just want to tell you that the Hou Mansion is suppressed by Xiao Qirong's jealousy everywhere, retreating again and again, in order to wash away the dislike, I returned to the capital from the border, and now I have surrendered my military power. Zhan'er even pretended to be sick again and again, becoming a 'dying person', now he is pressing every step of the way, if this continues, the Hou Mansion may cease to exist."

Everyone knows that Xiao Qirong is fatuous and brutal, Daliang is full of disasters, enemy countries are eyeing them, and the princes are fighting for power. Since they can't be alone, they can only go against the wind, maybe they can find a way out.

Besides, since the founding of the country, the Zhongyonghou Mansion has always been loyal to the emperor, protected the people, guarded the frontiers, and is full of loyalty. Could it be that in his hands, he would be humiliated and loyal with hatred?
Thinking back to what Zhongyonghou said at the beginning, one road leads to the palace, and the other leads to the outside of the city, where dead soldiers, food, and countless belongings are stored... Zhongyonghou thinks...

Chu Zhi raised his eyes, meeting Zhongyonghou's gaze.

really!

Chu Zhi gritted his teeth: "Does father want to support the crown prince?"

"It would be best if the prince can take the position." Zhongyonghou sighed, "Although the prince dislikes power and is too benevolent, at least he can be a wise king. Even if the prince is not suitable for the current situation, there is no one more suitable for him. , I'm afraid...we won't be able to wait for the crown prince to take over."

Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die.

Chu Zhi took a deep breath, "I understand what father means." She asked, "Does Ah Zhan know?"

"I haven't had time to tell him yet." Zhongyong Hou said, "I always thought that the Hou Mansion could take care of itself alone, and besides, I don't want to involve him in these matters. I know that Luo Shi has resentment in his heart, he is so strong, and Qian'er is also a worthy Good luck, I thought it would be okay to tell Zhan'er to relax, so that even after I die, I can explain to his mother when I go underground."

But after all, good fortune tricks people.

Chu Zhi said: "Father's heart must be understood by mother, we are already in the center of power, how can we not be affected!"

"I called you here today to give you an explanation. The outside world will change as it says, and it may be chaotic that day. If it really comes to a critical moment of life and death, I hope you can guard the Hou Mansion and treat you as your father." The only thing I ask of you in this life."

"Father, don't say that, you've broken me." Chu Zhi hurriedly said, "It's my duty to protect the Hou's mansion, even if my father doesn't tell me, I will do it."

"Actually, there is one more thing that I want to tell you."

"Father, please speak."
