It was another autumn day, and the howling wind blew the broken leaves all over the sky. The bare branches kept trembling in the wind, constantly letting out whimpering sounds.
This year, autumn had come especially early, and it was also particularly cold.
The people on the streets were in a hurry, as if they were unwilling to stay outside in the desolate city.
Yong Xin walked steadily towards a small building in the corner of the manor, not affected by the cold wind at all. His fluttering clothes and long hair seemed to have nothing to do with him.
He came to the small building and knocked on the door knocker.
The door of the small building creaked open. In an instant, a cold wind immediately entered the small building, and a gust of cold air rushed into the room.
Hao 'er, Zi Zhao, and Bing Yi were all there, drinking tea while discussing countermeasures.
A month passed quickly, but there was no progress. Zi Mu did not make any further moves, as if everyone was waiting for the other party to make a move and reveal a flaw.
After Yong Xin entered and bowed to the good son, he glanced at Zi Zhao and remained silent.
"Yong Xin, it's okay. If there's anything, just say it. Zi Zhao isn't an outsider.”A gentle voice rang out and echoed in the small building.
" I just received news from the capital…" Yong Xin paused for a moment and looked at Zi Zhao. He then continued," The King used the reason that the Crown Prince left the capital for no reason and abandoned the court as an excuse to depose the Crown Prince and replace Zi Mu as the Crown Prince. Now, all the government affairs were handed over to Zi Mu.”
Bang! The sound of a table being slammed rang out. The young Bing was furious."Preposterous, it must be that bastard Zimu's doing. He actually has the face to be the Crown Prince, pui!”
Zi Zhao sat at the side, his face as calm as water. He sat down angrily and stood up abruptly."Tomorrow, I will lead my troops into the capital and kill that bastard. Let's see if he still dares to act recklessly.”
"Looks like he's really going to make a move.”Yun Ti replied. His black eyes were filled with killing intent and hatred. He lowered his long eyelashes to block the killing intent in his eyes.
"If internal strife breaks out, the vassal states will definitely not be at peace.”Hao 'er said.
"Yes, some people are waiting for internal strife.”Zi Zhao said softly.
" On the surface, our Shang Dynasty is rich in resources, but our generals and soldiers are not strong. If there are internal and external problems now, the foundation of the dynasty will definitely be shaken. At that time, the ones who will suffer will be the people. "Zi Zhao said in a deep voice.
When Bing Yi heard this, he said anxiously," We can't stay here, we can't fight our way in, we can't do this, we can't do that, so what should we do?”
Hao 'er smiled faintly." Brother, don't worry. There will always be a way."”
" Hmph, by the time you guys think of a way, Zi Mu might have already become the king, and Father might have already…" Bing Yi did not dare to continue speaking and immediately shut his mouth.
Zi Zhao smiled lightly,"Don't worry, he won't let him sit on the throne. Marquis Yue will also be safe and sound." "However, I didn't expect Father to make him the Crown Prince…" Zi Zhao's face revealed some worry.
"The King will be fine." Hao 'Er said gently.
As smart as she was, how could she not guess what Zi Zhao was thinking?
At this moment, Chen Yan also came in from outside. After whispering a few words in Zi Zhao's ear, he retreated to the side.
After hearing Chen Yan's words, Zi Zhao's expression immediately changed. His entire face was as pale as paper, devoid of blood.
The people in the room became nervous.
"What's wrong?"
Hao 'er knew that something very important must have happened. Zi Zhao had always been calm and rarely acted abnormally.
"General He Lian has entered the palace several times to see my father and mother but he did not see them. He Lian guessed that my father and mother might be under house arrest by Zi Mu.”
"Looks like Zi Mu really doesn't want to live anymore!”Hao 'Er said coldly.
Zi Zhao quickly returned to normal and said calmly," I think I should return to the capital.”
"Mhm, I'll go with you." Hao 'er said it lightly, as if she was going shopping, not going to the dragon's pool or the tiger's den.
"No, it's too dangerous." Zi Zhao didn't even think about it and flatly rejected.
Hao 'er smiled sweetly." Zi Zhao, if it were you, what would you do?”
Zi Zhao was speechless. He understood that if it was him, he would never let Hao 'er go alone. He knew Hao' er too well. How could she let him go alone? How could he let her suffer alone?
Therefore, he said softly,'Okay.'
At some point, the people in the small building had all dispersed, leaving only him and her.
"Good boy, I will not disappoint you in this life.”
Hao 'er was silent.
It was so quiet that they could hear each other's heartbeats.
He felt a chill on his neck, and a necklace with a pendant hung on it.
my good son looks back.
"This was given to me by my biological mother before she died. She wanted me to give it to the love of my life so that we could grow old together.”
Seeing that she didn't take it off, Zi Zhao's hanging heart finally settled down. Zi Zhao had always understood that although Hao 'er had always loved him, it didn't mean that she would stay with him…because his love was mixed with impurities, and his love also caused her pain, which she was unwilling to accept…
A small necklace represented his promise, his promise for the rest of his life.
If she accepted him, she would accept everything about him.
From then on, this necklace had always been with her, no matter when and where, even on the battlefield.
Until she passed away, this necklace accompanied her to sleep in the ground.
Three thousand years later, when people opened the well-preserved underground tomb to witness this great beauty, this necklace was still quietly accompanying her owner.

Haha, my collection has increased by one. Although I don't know who it is, I still want to thank you. I also want to thank all the people who have given me a collection and those who have always supported me. I solemnly say 'thank you'. I find that other than these two words, I don't know how to say anything else. My mouth is too stupid, hehe.
