Transmigrated As A Delicate Bundle Of Luck For A Farming Family

448 Fulfilling the Promise 2

However, he also deeply understood that if he did not agree, Zhou Heng would not give up. No one knew what he could do.

If he did not get what he wanted, it would be a regret for the rest of his life.

“Father, please grant my wish.”

Zhou Heng pleaded again.

Zhou Zhao sighed and said in a heavy tone, “Fine Since you insist, how can Father break up the love in your heart? However, Heng’er, you have to know that if she becomes your wife, she will definitely be a thorn in the side of others. Whether it’s intentional or not, many people will target her and plot against her. Do you understand?”

No matter who the empress was, she would be a thorn in others’ side.

Countless unjustifiable murders were all because of the empress.

Zhou Heng felt heavy in his heart, but he still said firmly, “Father, I understand, but I’m still determined. Only she can be my wife. Father, please fulfill my wish.”

Seeing that Zhou Heng was still so determined, Zhou Zhao stopped persuading him. He said, “Since you insist, I’ll fulfill your wish. I’ll arrange a marriage for you on the day of the street patrol.”

“Thank you for your help, Father.”

Zhou Heng smiled. From his happy eyes, anyone could tell that he was very happy.

Zhou Zhao shook his head helplessly.

No one could stop the stubbornness of youth.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhou Heng smiled and asked, “Father, can I go out of the palace to see them?”

Zhou Zhao nodded. “Sure, just remember to bring someone along. Zhi’er has his people, so you should have yours too. They should be reporting now. Go and meet them.”

Zhou Heng nodded and returned to the palace.

He saw a group of secret guards in black waiting for him. When they saw him, they knelt down and paid their respects.

There were 30 secret guards, old and young.

Zhou Heng asked for their names and they said in unison, “Master, please give us a name.”

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll name you according to your age. It’ll be Mu Yi, Mu Er, Mu San… After 15 people, we’ll change the character, Lin Yi, Lin Er… and so on.”

“Thank you for the name, Master.”

The secret guards knelt down one after another. From now on, they were Zhou Heng’s men.

Mu Qi, Mu Ba, Lin Yi, and Lin Er would be his bodyguards who would protect him closely. From now on, they would follow Zhou Heng wherever he went.

The other secret guards would be in the dark. A portion of them would even go out to gather various information for Zhou Heng.

After settling the secret guards down, Zhou Heng left the palace with Mu Qi, Mu Ba, Lin Yi, and Lin Er.

He arrived at the general’s residence.

Qi Xingfeng was extremely happy to see him. He was about to go out, so he didn’t have to go out anymore.

He was overjoyed and was about to call him Young Master Zhou when he realized that it was inappropriate. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and finally called out awkwardly, “Your Majesty, Crown Prince.”

Qi Xingfeng kept his mouth shut after saying that.

“Yeah.”

Zhou Heng smiled.

Zhou Heng was back.

General Qi respectfully addressed Zhou Heng as ‘Your Majesty’.

Zhou Heng had regained his identity. He was a prince and had a noble status. When he saw him, he had to bow.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were about to bow when Zhou Heng immediately went forward and grabbed their arms. “Third Uncle, Auntie, don’t do this.”

“Ah Chong, Ah Hua, you don’t have to do this. No matter what identity I recover, I’ll always be the Zhou Heng you know.”

Zhou Heng said seriously. He hoped that the Su family would know that he would not change.

“Heng, it’s good that you’re well.”

Madam Zhao looked relieved.

They all knew that things were different now, but Zhou Heng was still the Zhou Heng they knew. That was enough.

Zhou Heng smiled. He looked at Su Xiaoling and smiled at her. Then, he said seriously to Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, and the others, “I came to tell you a piece of news. I’ve already asked Father to grant me a marriage. Father has also agreed. In two days, during the street patrol and ancestral worship, Father will grant me and Xiaoling marriage.”

“Alright, congratulations, Your Majesty.”

General Qi said happily. The last stone in his heart had been lifted.

Su Xiaoling was indeed a little older. Most of the boys who were comparable to her age were engaged. They had already decided on the position of the main wife. It would be aggrieved to let Su Xiaoling be the concubine.

Moreover, she and Zhou Heng liked each other. Zhou Heng had promised that she would be the official wife. It would be best if they could get married.

“Heng, it’s been hard on you.”

Su Sanlang sighed. He understood deeply that if Zhou Heng wanted Su Xiaoling to be his official wife, he would have to go through a lot of hardship. However, he was not afraid of hardship. He kept his promise and fulfilled it.

Madam Zhao looked at Zhou Heng gently and said firmly, “In the future, Auntie will leave Xiaoling to you. I hope that the two of you can go hand in hand and not be afraid of danger.”

Su Xiaoling’s face was already red. She lowered her head in embarrassment.

Zhou Heng nodded seriously. He smiled and said, “Xiaoling and I will definitely keep walking forward hand in hand.”

Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaoling and said gently, “It’s just that along the way, when I’m not strong enough, Xiaoling will suffer a lot because of me, but I promise that I won’t forget my roots. Xiaoling, you have to believe me, okay?”

Su Xiaoling blushed and nodded. “Okay.”

This was her Little Brother Heng. He had liked her since she was young and would build snowmen for her and give her small gifts. She liked Little Brother Heng. He was someone she would hold hands with for the rest of her life. Of course, she would believe him. In the past, now, and in the future, she would believe him.

No matter how difficult the future was, they would definitely walk down it together for a long time.

Even when they were old, they would still believe and love each other deeply.

Zhou Heng could not leave the palace for too long. After the most important thing was said, Zhou Heng walked alone with Su Xiaoling.

They had things to talk about, and the Su family gave them a chance.

The two of them walked into the General’s residence.

Zhou Heng told Mu Qi, Mu Ba, Lin Yi, and Lin Er not to follow too closely so that he could talk to Su Xiaoling in private.

“Brother Heng, are you used to being in the palace?”

Su Xiaoling broke the silence first.

Although Zhou Heng was smiling, Su Xiaoling felt that his mood was very heavy. She did not know if she could comfort him. She really hoped to bring comfort to Zhou Heng.

“Xiaoling, the palace isn’t like the outside. It looks calm, but there might be storms under the calm. Father agreed to my request, but he also let me know that it’s not that everything will be peaceful if I get what I want.”

Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaoling, his eyes filled with worry and his suppressed emotions.

Su Xiaoling smiled gently and said, “Brother Heng, I know.”

Zhou Heng gulped and said, “Xiaoling, this is a dangerous path. You…”

Su Xiaoling interrupted Zhou Heng with a smile. She looked at him gently and said firmly, “Little Brother Heng, I know it’s not easy. Believe me, I’m already prepared.”

No matter how dangerous it was, she would do her best to run towards him.
