Chapter 450 - 450 Street Patrol
450 Street Patrol
“Even though you’ve done such cruel things to him, he still trusts you very much. He’s eaten the poisonous banquet you prepared for him time and time again. He’s come back from the gates of hell with difficulty again and again. He’s heartbroken again and again. This is how you treat him.”
Zhou Heng’s words were calm, like a sharp knife that pierced through something Wei Ling was unwilling to face.
“What kind of child does Mother want? Ah Zhi was so obedient to you, but you didn’t treat him well at all. Why do you want me to obey you now? If I don’t, will you not treat me well? Mother is really strange. Back then, you were cold and heartless to Ah Zhi. Why are you cold and heartless to me now too? Mother has probably forgotten that Ah Zhi and I were born together. I’m just like him.”
“If he’s not liked by Mother, how can I be liked by Mother? In that case, we both don’t need your affection anymore.”
Zhou Heng stood up and prepared to leave.
He wouldn’t eat this table of food. Wei Ling didn’t believe him, and he couldn’t believe Wei Ling either. Since that was the case, they should not force each other.
“No, Mother likes you. You’re the wise ruler. He, he’s a devil. He’ll turn into an evil spirit and eat me as he did in my dream. He shouldn’t have come to this world.”
Wei Ling said excitedly.
Zhou Heng stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Wei Ling with a pained expression. He said in disbelief, “Mother, you’ve been treating Ah Zhi coldly since he was young. Is it just because of a dream? You poisoned him time and time again just because of a ridiculous dream?”
Just because she had once dreamed that Zhou Zhi had turned into an evil spirit and devoured her, she looked at her biological son coldly and wished for him to die?
Faced with his eyes that yearned for motherly love, she did not care. Time and time again, countless times, she faced him with ruthlessness.
Wei Ling clenched her fists tightly. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, “What do you know? He can whip the palace maids around him since he was three years old. If I didn’t pull them away in time, he would have beaten them to death. His eyes are even more vicious than a poisonous snake. Master Zhiming is right. He’s a devil, an evil ghost. He shouldn’t exist in this world.”
“That dream was just a warning from the heavens. How cold-blooded is his heart? He went against me in every way. If he hadn’t stopped you back then, you would have returned to the palace long ago. I shouldn’t have kept him back then. If he hadn’t dragged you down back then, how could you have suffered such a serious injury? If not for that, why would I have sent you out of the palace? You don’t know anything. You don’t know anything! Now that you’ve grown up and your wings have hardened, you’ve come to resist me.”
Wei Ling cried angrily. In the end, her eyes turned red.
Zhou Heng’s eyes turned cold. “If Ah Zhi is a poisonous snake, why hasn’t he hurt you and the Wei family all these years? Mother, what Ah Zhi is unwilling to accept has always been your attitude. Do you understand?”
“Even if that prophecy was real, how can you be sure that I’m not the demon?”
Zhou Heng’s cold gaze made Wei Ling’s heart sink.
After saying this, Zhou Heng turned around and left without stopping.
Wei Ling was stunned for a long time before she regained her rationality.
This was all a scheme. This was all Zhou Zhi’s scheme. The child she loved the most had already died on the way back to the capital. This Zhou Heng who disobeyed her and questioned her was fake, so he would speak up for Zhou Zhi.
‘Yes, yes, that’s it.’
She couldn’t let him have his way. She would never let them.
Wei Ling shouted, “Get me a pen and paper.”
A letter was quietly sent out of the palace after nightfall.

Two days passed in a flash.
It was time for the new top three scorers to patrol the streets once every three years.
They were dressed in beautiful clothes and brocade hats. They rode on horses and strode majestically through the bustling streets of the capital under the lead of the soldiers.
Along the way, countless people came to watch. There was a bold unmarried woman who threw a flower at the three of them.
Su Hua was the top scorer, Liu Zijin was the second scorer, and Zhou Heng was the third scorer.
They were all good-looking. They had the scholarly aura of scholars, but they did not lose their masculinity. They were really too good-looking.
This year’s top three had caused a sensation in the capital. They were young, handsome, and had great prospects.
And the most talked about person was the third scorer. He was the current Crown Prince of the royal family. In his early years, he had gone out to treat illnesses and participated in exams as a commoner. He made his way to the palace examination, and he was also taught by the number three in the national examinations. In the end, he was recognized by the Wisdom King and recovered his identity.
Some people even said that the current top scorer used to be a fool before he was ten years old.
Today, the capital was bound to be extremely lively.
Su Xiaolu and the others had already booked the best room in Jinghong Restaurant. When the street patrol team passed by, they looked out the window.
Su Hua immediately saw familiar faces poking out of the restaurants on both sides. He smiled and waved at Su Xiaolu and the others. Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were so happy that their eyes turned red.
Liu Zijin and Zhou Heng also waved at them.
Su Xiaoling looked at Zhou Heng and blushed. Their eyes met and Zhou Heng smiled at her.
Many women were screaming and cheering.
“Ahhh, Your Majesty is smiling at us—”
“The third scorer smiled at us. He’s so good-looking—”
Su Xiaoling couldn’t help but laugh when she heard these cheers. Zhou Heng also smiled and waved at her. His lips moved, and Su Xiaoling understood that he was calling her name.
Su Xiaoling felt her cheeks heat up.
“Your Majesty, you’re still the most popular. With that smile of yours, many women in the capital are screaming.”
Liu Zijin teased with a smile. Today was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They would never have another day like this again.
Su Hua smiled. “Does Zijin mean that you’re sad because no one will cheer for you?”
Zhou Heng smiled. “Brother Zijin, don’t tease me. I already have someone in my mind.”
Su Hua smiled and nodded.
Liu Zijin also smiled and said, “The three of us are all taken. We’ve studied hard for more than ten years in exchange for our current glory. I hope we can all get what we want in the future and have a perfect life.”
The three of them nodded and looked ahead, no longer distracted.
They patrolled every street with their heads held high.
After the street patrol team passed by, the commotion gradually quietened down.
General Qi said happily, “I’ve lived for half my life, but this is the first time I’ve seen a Top Three Patrol. This is great.”
The happiest thing was that the current top scorer was his great-grandson.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao’s eyes were a little moist. The two of them silently wiped their happy tears and smiled at each other.
Father Qi couldn’t help but sigh. “I wonder when our Qi family will have a top scorer.”
Mother Qi smiled helplessly. Who wouldn’t want such a beautiful dream?
Qi Xingfeng pointed at Qi Xingzhi. “Xingzhi.”
Qi Xingzhi rubbed his nose in embarrassment. “I’ll definitely work hard!”
“Hahaha, alright, alright. In that case, learn more from your cousin in the future,” General Qi said with a happy smile. There were many opportunities to consult someone who had been the top scorer in the future.
