Chapter 854: Crazy, Crazy

No one in the imperial court could tolerate this. That was why they had been exerting pressure all these years.

Sindili was pregnant, and many ministers felt that there was hope.

However, in just a few hours, before a night had passed, Zhou Heng made Sindili admit that she had an affair and wanted to divorce her.

The entire country was in an uproar.

What would the ministers think?

Zhou Heng’s actions were simply ridiculous. Su Xiaoling had been doted on by him for more than ten years. Wasn’t four children enough?

The more Zhou Zhao thought about it, the angrier he became.

Zhou Heng came at this time.

When the father and son met, neither of them smiled. Zhou Zhao looked at Zhou Heng with a dark expression. “You said that the secondary consort, Sindili, had an affair with someone? Where’s the evidence? Where’s the adulterer?”

Zhou Heng replied stiffly, “We’re still investigating. The child in her stomach isn’t mine. She had an affair with someone. Even if she’s a princess, I definitely won’t tolerate it.”

“What if I don’t allow it?”

Zhou Zhao looked at Zhou Heng coldly. He was older than ten years ago. Zhou Heng was in his prime. He was the Crown Prince he had taken a fancy to. He had been carefully taught and nurtured for ten years. The only dissatisfaction was that he was too infatuated.

If it was an ordinary family, the commoners would think that it was a good story, but he did not. He represented the royal family.

Behind the royal family, there were so many complicated relationships that needed to be balanced.

It was impossible for Zhou Heng to cut off this path.

Zhou Heng raised his eyes and looked straight at Zhou Zhao. The father and son’s eyes were about to emit fire.

“Father, please punish me for my disrespect.”

He would never agree. Sindili was already a thorn in his eyes. How could he tolerate more thorns by his side?

Zhou Zhao frowned and pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Suddenly, it became a competition between father and son. Ten years ago, the other princes were still young, but now, the other princes had all grown up.

Zhou Liao, Zhou Ying, and Zhou Yan were all young and capable. Didn’t they want to be emperors?

Zhou Zhao said in a low voice, “Heng’er, will you abandon this country for Su Xiaoling?”

Zhou Zhao said in a low voice, “Heng’er, can you abandon this country for Su Xiaoling?”

Without Su Xiaoling, what was the point of him having this country?

His heart was sad and bitter. Every day he lived felt like torture. Therefore, he would rather not rule the world. He would rather be with Su Xiaoling alone.

“Have you made up your mind?”

Zhou Zhao’s mind was in an uproar. He could not believe that Zhou Heng had said this.

After he finished asking, without waiting for Zhou Heng to answer, he asked, “Do you understand that if you don’t have a harem, your external chaos won’t be appeased? The influential people will form marriage alliances with each other. They will be divided into many parties and have a closer relationship. They will join forces to deal with you.”

“A harem is not as simple as a harem. Do you understand the pros and cons? As long as you become the emperor, Su Xiaoling can’t be the only one behind you, do you understand?”

Zhou Zhao did not give up. He stared at Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng was infatuated with one person. This love was as heavy as Mount Tai to Su Xiaoling.

It was impossible for the officials to give up this glorious opportunity. When their endurance reached a peak, they would form a terrifying tacit understanding. Everyone would treat Su Xiaoling as their enemy.

Zhou Heng also looked at Zhou Zhao. His expression did not change. “Father, can’t I succeed without a harem? Can’t I do it for the people? Can’t I become a wise ruler in the future?”

Zhou Zhao frowned. Zhou Heng was determined to do all these for a woman.

Zhou Zhao’s mind was filled with his three sons who were slowly growing up. He waved his hand. “I can’t make the decision for you. It’s fine as long as you can bear the consequences. You may leave.”

If Zhou Heng did not handle this matter well, he would not be able to balance the entire imperial court.

After the Sindili incident, the others knew what he was thinking.

Zhou Zhao sighed faintly. He had chosen the path himself. Since he was determined, he would leave it to fate.

As a father, it was already kind enough for him not to make things difficult for him.

Zhou Heng nodded and left.

After returning to the palace, he quickly wrote a divorce letter and announced Sindili’s confession. According to the divorce letter, he had nothing to do with Sindili.

Whether Sindili stayed or left had nothing to do with him.

The divorce letter and Sindili’s sins would also be submitted to the Li Dynasty. At the same time, he sent Su Chong to the border to guard.

It took two days to settle this matter.

He had also personally interrogated Sindili.

After everything was settled, he returned to the main courtyard.

He opened the door and entered. He nodded slightly at Su Xiaolu, who stood up and left.

Su Xiaoling had eaten very little and was depressed for the past two days.

The children were also less lively.

Zhou Heng walked to Su Xiaoling’s side and sat down. Su Xiaoling lowered her eyes and fell silent.

“Xiaoling, she has already moved away. There will no longer be anyone between us.”

Zhou Heng said in a hoarse voice. He held Su Xiaoling’s hand in his palm.

“Brother Heng, it’s been hard on you.”

Su Xiaoling looked up at him and saw his haggard face. She didn’t feel good.

She loved him very much, but it was really too painful. She wanted him to let her go, but he was unwilling. He was also suffering.

Su Xiaoling knew that Zhou Heng had already done his best. If he refused to give up, she could no longer say anything heartless.

The couple hugged each other tightly and still tried their best to warm each other up.

Su Xiaolu left the palace and went home.

When she returned home, Su Xiaolu fell asleep.

Madam Zhao was very worried and could only wait.

She had told herself countless times that the children had grown up. They would resolve all their worries and worries themselves. If she was not involved in the situation, how could she interfere?

Su Kuo was sensible enough not to pester Su Xiaolu.

He stood beside Little Niu and asked after some thought, “Brother Niu, do you want to get married?”

Little Niu looked at Su Kuo. “Let nature take its course. What should come can’t be avoided, and what should leave can’t be kept. I’ll listen to the will of the heavens, but my heart is like a dead leaf that won’t come back to life.” When he was young, he thought that there might be someone for him in the future.

But as he grew up, he no longer had this thought.

After roaming the world for many years, he found that those who pursue love must suffer physically and mentally.

A life without love was light. It was enough to have close friends and several elders to think about.

“Brother Niu is clear-headed. In my opinion, people shouldn’t worry about love, especially people like you who cultivate. Love delays cultivation.”

Su Kuo agreed very much. People who cultivate should have hearts like dead leaves.

Little Niu looked at Su Kuo. “You’re so young and haven’t experienced anything sad. Why would you think that?”

Little Niu was a little curious. A person like Su Kuo had a special fate. He was so young, but why did he treat love as an evil illness? Looking at his innocent gaze, he was curious about everything except love.

Su Kuo was immediately stumped. Then, he said without blushing or panting, “I’m trying to stay away from trouble. Look, once someone is involved in love, how can they live a carefree life? Therefore, it’s better to cut it off from the source.”

He was not spouting nonsense. As long as it was related to love, everyone would shed some tears..
