Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and was silent. Zhu Xiongying came over, bent his head and put his head under Zhu Yunxi's head, looked at Zhu Yunxi's face, and said "ouch,"
"How old are you, and you still shed tears secretly?"
Zhu Yunxi wiped his eyes and quickly turned his face to the other side.
The most extreme way he expressed his dissatisfaction with his brother was by not speaking. Zhu Xiongying pulled Zhu Yunxi and helped the child wipe away his tears.
But it was okay if Zhu Xiongying didn't help. Once he started wiping away Zhu Yunxi's tears, Zhu Yunxi cried even harder. Tears fell in a series and he couldn't stop them.
"Yunxi..."
The Zhu Xiongying in Zhu Yunxi's head is always bright, tall, and warm, but Zhu Yunxi seemed to feel something. Zhu Xiongying before and after he succeeded to the throne will no longer be the same person.
Zhu Xiongying continued to comfort him, "Yunxi, everyone will change. After experiencing so many things, if you don't change, wouldn't it be all in vain?
Change is not necessarily bad. "
Zhu Yunxi cried so hard that he just managed to catch his breath and choked up,
"Brother, I don't want to be a stranger to you...I don't want to not know you anymore..."
Zhu Xiongying slowly opened his eyes, then patted Zhu Yunxi on the back and said softly,
"Yunxi, we are not characters in a storybook, but people of flesh and blood.
As long as you are a person of flesh and blood, your character must be multi-faceted and cannot be summed up in just one word.
Facing grandpa, I am one side. Facing dad, I am one side. Facing you, I am another side.
No one can completely understand a person, but even if everything changes, the fact that I am your brother will never change. "
Zhu Xiongying repeated firmly, "Yes, I am your brother and this will never change!"
Zhu Yunxi was not a stupid kid. After calming down and listening to his brother's words, he still felt that it made sense.
Everyone is like an isolated island. Even if we understand each other, we can only understand one or two sides of it, but people are all multi-faceted.
After standing still to calm Zhu Yunxi's emotions, Zhu Xiongying tried to say,
"Walk?"
Zhu Yunxi nodded heavily and laughed again,
"Brother, let's go back to the palace~"
"Um."
Zhu Xiongying knew that Zhu Yunxi's sudden emotional breakdown might be because he was worried about Zhu Yunxi day and night, maybe it was because his father suddenly came back and he was at a loss, maybe it was because he had foreseen the changes after his brother succeeded to the throne... or maybe something else There's a little bit of everything,
This child has nothing to begin with. If the only brother he can catch is gone, Zhu Yunxi seems to have no meaning in living.
"Brother, I understand what you just said."
"Oh? What do you want to understand?" Zhu Xiongying asked with a smile.
"Just like some cases in Dali Temple, the real murderer was caught by an ordinary honest farmer.
When this honest man was caught, no one around him dared to believe it.
They would all say, how could such an honest person do such a cruel thing?
I didn't quite understand it before, but I understand it today,
This usually honest murderer only shows an honest side. He is honest to the people around him, but he is actually multi-faceted.
Honesty and cunning, evil and kindness, these qualities do not conflict in a person..."
Zhu Xiongying sighed, rubbed Zhu Yunxi's head and said,
"Yes, humans are such complicated animals."
"So!" Zhu Yunxi ran to Zhu Xiongying and stopped, his eyes shining,
Zhu Xiongying stood still and asked, "So what?"
Zhu Yunxi opened his arms and said, "Brother, I think Dali Temple's strict laws alone are not enough to govern the world. I also need to know why these prisoners do what they do, so that I can really help my brother!"
This kid took it a step further and started to touch on the level of criminal psychology.
Zhu Xiongying glanced at Zhu Yunxi approvingly and said,
"I'll get you some books tomorrow. You can read them when you have nothing to do. They will be very helpful to you."
"Thank you brother!"
Zhu Yunxi also knows that his brother has a lot of good things in his hands, and these books will definitely be of great help to him!
Zhu Xiongying took his younger brother into the palace. Ying Qi merged with the darkness and had been waiting here for a long time. But no matter how secretly Ying Qi hid, under Zhu Xiongying's super induction, there was nowhere to hide.
"Shadow Seven."
Ying Qi was not surprised by His Highness's keenness. He walked out of the darkness and bowed respectfully to Zhu Xiongying.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked your subordinates to stay here. Your Majesty and His Royal Highness are waiting for you in the East Palace."
Zhu Xiongying nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Ying Qi was stunned, not understanding what His Highness meant. He was born to complete Lao Zhu's orders. He was just here to obey orders. What's the point of hard work?
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "It's the middle of winter, how can you wear so little?"
Ying Qi reacted and subconsciously said, "The Shadow Guard can only wear this."
"Then let's change your uniforms. At least you can have a summer style and a winter style. How can you wear the same uniform all year round?
Alas, it's my fault that I just discovered this. I'll go take care of it tomorrow. "
Zhu Xiongying talked a lot, and Ying Qi was stunned. His heart, which was as cold as the fish that had been killed for decades in the East Market, actually felt a trace of warmth.
Everyone can say that, but His Highness Shengsun is not just saying that being able to detect other people's feelings from such a subtle place is absolutely impossible without empathy.
"Your Highness..."
Ying Qi didn't know what to say, but he was not set in such a mood.
A knife falls from his hand, and his head is cut into a sea of blood. This is his life.
"Okay, you go back, I'll take Yunxi and go by myself."
"But, Your Highness..." Ying Qi called Zhu Xiongying from behind.
"Um?"
"Your Majesty will ask you to go alone...His Royal Highness Yunxi..."
Zhu Xiongying frowned and was about to say something when Zhu Yunxi said obediently,
"Brother, I'll go back first."
"Yunxi, it doesn't matter, just come with me."
Zhu Yunxi was also very determined, "No, brother, I don't care about this."
Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yunxi for a while. This child really didn't seem to care about this.
Grandpa’s meaning is obvious,
Grandpa, dad, myself, this is the talk of the real Zhu family.
Grandpa knew that he was going out of the city with Zhu Yunxi, but he still emphasized that he wanted to go to the East Palace alone. The intention of excluding Zhu Yunxi was not too obvious.
However, Zhu Yunxi didn't care whether he was a real member of the Zhu family. After saying goodbye to Zhu Xiongying, he returned to the palace alone. Zhu Xiongying sounded a little sad and looked at Ying Qi,
"Follow me."
Ying Qi quickly responded, "Yes, Your Highness."
