Su Chong handed the envelope to the messenger. He was afraid that he would snatch it back, so he left without looking back. He bought another bottle of wine and drank it. When he returned to the General's residence, his head was dizzy and he fell asleep.
--
Zhou Heng lay in bed, staring at the gauze curtain above his head. It was already late at night, but he was not sleepy at all.
This place that should have been familiar to him now seemed unfamiliar.
He could not sleep for a long time. His mind was filled with what his father had said.
Father said, "Heng'er, you can always trust your brother. He never wanted to kill you and stop you from coming back. He was just young and angry. If your mother had any love for him, he wouldn't have done that."
"Heng'er, Zhi'er's health isn't too good. He doesn't have much time left. Your brotherhood is too short. Learn from Zhi'er during this period of time. Get used to it as soon as possible and take charge of the situation in the capital, understand?"
"When you and Zhi'er were born, Father dreamed of seeing two dragons descend into the world. If not for Kong Zhi's prophecy, the two of you would definitely not be ordinary. You should be two peerless talents of the Great Zhou."
"The heavens are always biased towards you. When you were young, you liked to smile, which made your mother even happier. Zhi'er was always careful and stubborn, but did you know? He's not interested in the throne. What he wants... I wonder who in this world can give it to him."
"Heng'er, it's not easy to become an emperor. In the future, you have to work harder than ordinary people. You have to have a deeper plan than ordinary people to stabilize the internal situation and calm the chaos outside."
His thoughts surged in his heart, and Zhou Heng felt his heart ache.

In just one day, he understood how heavy the burden on him was.He had many things to do. He wanted to control the situation in the capital before Zhou Zhi collapsed and stabilize his identity.
Suddenly his world felt oppressive.
Perhaps it was because he had lived a peaceful and comfortable life for too long, so long that he had forgotten that he should have fallen into the mud of the capital.
Thinking about the future, his heart sank. He was confused, uneasy, terrified, and afraid.
The luxurious and comfortable palace was brightly lit, but he felt too cold. He missed that small hut, missed hearing Su Chong's snores at night, missed everything.
His lips curled into a self-deprecating smile.
Why was he like this? He clearly wanted to come back before.
Zhou Heng closed his eyes and tears fell from the corners of his eyes. He knew very well that the reason why he was sad was that he realized that everything he had once imagined did not exist. There was no uncle, grandfather, or mother who doted on him. Zhou Zhi did not have them, and neither did he.
Not everyone's parents in this world could be like Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao.
He did not sleep the entire night. When he woke up in the morning, palace servants came in to serve him.
They greeted respectfully, "Your Majesty, did you sleep well last night?"
Zhou Heng's expression was calm, and he only replied with a single word.
