Chapter 351: True identity

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhuo residence.

Zhuo Jun changed into a new set of clothes and went to the study room.

She instructed others that she would not come out and others should not disturb her.

The few attendants around Zhuo Jun did not go against her orders.

They stood guard at the entrance of her study room and courtyard.

Zhuo Jun entered the study room and sat down.

She poured herself a cup of wine and began to drink.

Her hand stroked the wine cup.

If her identity was exposed, there would be people coming from the palace.

It should be about time.

If her identity was not exposed, then she could only think of a new way with darkened eyes.

A moment later, two men in black suddenly jumped down from the roof.

One of them pointed his sword at Zhuo Jun’s neck.

He warned in a low voice, “Don’t make a sound!”

Not only was Zhuo Jun not nervous or afraid, she even smiled. “Let’s go.”

The masked bodyguard thought to himself, this was the first time he had secretly captured someone who reacted like this.

The two of them looked at each other.

One of them grabbed Zhuo Jun’s arm, grabbed the rope thrown from the roof, and took her away from the roof.

Then, another man in black jumped into the study room, pretending to be Zhuo Jun working at her desk.

When Zhuo Jun left, no one outside the room noticed that she had left.

The main reason was that they did not expect someone to come to the study room and take her away.

In addition, Zhuo Jun often entered the study room and did not allow anyone to disturb her, and she sat there until night time.

As a result, those on duty did not pay much attention to the study room, so their alertness was not that high.

Very soon, the few of them rushed to the imperial palace as quickly as their horses could go.

After entering the palace, the secret guards first went in to report the situation to the emperor.

When the emperor heard that Zhuo Jun was not surprised at all that someone had appeared, and that there was no resistance, and she even said “let’s go”, it confirmed Xiao Hanzheng’s guess.

The emperor asked someone to bring Zhuo Jun in.

Zhuo Jun was not surprised to see Xiao Hanzheng when she came in.

She first bowed to the emperor, “Greetings, your Majesty!”

The emperor looked at Zhuo Jun sharply.

After a moment, he asked her to stand up, “Do you know why I asked someone to bring you into the palace today?”

Zhuo Jun stood up and replied respectfully, “I believe that Your Majesty already knows my identity.”

The emperor’s gaze was filled with doubt as he asked straightforwardly, “You took the initiative to expose yourself as a woman and asked me to investigate your identity. What was it for?”

Zhuo Jun raised his head to look at him. “For revenge.”

The emperor was baffled. “Revenge? What revenge?”

Zhuo jun replied, “You should have found out that my father died on the battlefield. That was actually arranged by King Jin.”

The emperor was even more baffled. “You want to avenge your father who died on the battlefield?”

Zhuo Jun nodded. “That’s right. I’m actually not King Jin’s biological daughter. My younger brother is.

“But King Jin and my mother have always lied to me, saying that I’m King Jin’s daughter. They even said that dressing me up as a man was for my own good.

“At first, I thought that it was true.

“But there was a day when I was a child and suddenly woke up from hunger one night, I got up to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.

“When I saw that my mother’s room was still lit with oil lamps, I curiously walked over quietly.

“Then I overheard the conversation between King Jin and my mother, and only then did I know that my mother had hooked up with King Jin after giving birth to me.

“At that time, my father had just died, and they even mentioned this in their conversation. That was how I knew that King Jin had harmed him.

“Because I had been trained by King Jin’s men since I was young, although I was very panicked and angry, I did not make a sound.

“I sneaked back to my room and pretended not to hear anything.”

“From then on, I finally understood why, when I was a few years old, the people King Jin sent to train me would not only hit me hard when I made a mistake, but also make me kneel in the snow.

“If I could not complete the assigned homework, I would not be given food or water.

“If I did not practice martial arts properly, I would be beaten and punished.

“Having any thoughts of my own meant that I would be snuff out.

“So it was because I wasn’t their biological child that they treated me so harshly. I was just a tool that they trained me for their own usage.”

In her memories, her father would hug her on his laps, coax her, and buy toys for her.

If she accidentally bumped into something, her father’s heart would ache for a long time.

However, King Jin would not.

He would only smile gently at her and talk to her, then encourage her and entrust her with important tasks.

Later on, when she found out the truth, she realized that it was too fake.

If she had not accidentally overheard the conversation between King Jin and her mother, she might have really become what the two of them had hoped for.

When the emperor heard her words, he was skeptical.

However, he did find out a little about what she said.

The secret guards found out that Zhuo Jun had been trained very strictly since she was young.

It seemed that she had suffered a lot.

The emperor asked curiously, “Why is King Jin with your mother?”

He had some understanding of King Jin, so he should not be so desperate.

According to Zhuo Jun, her mother already had a husband and a daughter, but King Jin was still hooking up with her.

This was not right.

Zhuo Jun pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before saying, “I suspect that my mother is a princess from the previous dynasty.

“She is very beautiful and very capable.

“She should have taken the initiative to seduce King Jin.

“But I guess that King Jin should know my mother’s identity.

“Apart from being together, they also have some collaboration.”

Although her mother had never revealed it, she had noticed it since they lived together.

The emperor was stunned. “Why did you suspect this? If your mother was a princess from the previous dynasty, why did she marry your father and give birth to you?”

Zhuo Jun replied, “During the war, my mother almost died when she was in trouble. Then, she was saved by my father.

“For her own survival, she married my father.

“After giving birth to me, those from the previous dynasty should have found her.”

“And because of that, she gradually changed.

“She took the initiative to hook up with King Jin and caused my father’s death.

“The reason why I guessed that she was a princess of the previous dynasty was because I once sneaked into her room and found the imperial jade seal from the previous dynasty in a secret compartment.

“There were also some letters and a treasure map.”

The emperor was shocked. “You said that the imperial jade seal of the previous dynasty was with your mother?”

Zhuo Jun nodded. “That’s right. I saw it with my own eyes.”

At that time, it was also because she was suspicious that she sneaked into her mother’s room to investigate.

When she saw those things, she was really shocked.

The emperor’s fingers lightly tapped on the table as he fell into deep thought.

If that was the case, then it made sense why King Jin would target a married woman.

Based on his understanding of King Jin, he was a narrow-minded person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.

He had a son with the princess of the previous dynasty.

If his rebellion failed, the people of King Jin and those from the previous dynasty would support this child to continue his plan for the nation.

If this succeeded, King Jin might laugh in the afterworld.

A son with the bloodline of the previous dynasty would ascend to the throne and mix up the bloodline of the entire Daliang.

He might even overturn Daliang.

King Jin probably only had one thought.

If he could not get the throne, he would destroy it.

He would not hesitate to destroy Daliang as well.

Of course, the main reason why King Jin hooked up with Zhuo Jun’s mother was to use the power of the previous dynasty to help him.

He also found out that King Jin also had dealings with the royal family of Kingdom Ge behind the scenes.

He really did not expect that his younger brother not only colluded with their enemy, but also the remnants from the previous dynasty.

Thinking of this, the emperor could not suppress the anger in his heart.

What a great King Jin, he was simply insane.
