During the second half of the dinner, although there was still laughter and laughter on the table, Zhu Xiang's smile seemed a little forced.
After drinking and eating, Guanyin Nu quickly packed up. Old Man Li also noticed that Zhu Xiang's mood seemed to have changed, so he found an excuse and left early.
Zhu Xi looked at Guanyin slave who was clearing away the dishes. He wanted to speak several times but didn't know how.
Zhu Di, Zhu Fan and Zhao Changge stood at the door, looking at the hesitant Zhu Xi.
But in the end, Zhu Xi lowered his head and walked over without saying a word.
"Let's go, it's time to go back." Zhu Ping forced a smile, which looked like he was crying.
Zhu Di pointed at Guanyin Nu with his chin and said to Zhu Xi: "If you don't say anything, just leave like this. I don't know when we will meet next time."
Zhu Xi clenched his fists tightly, but finally shook his head: "There will be no results. Talking more will only increase your troubles. Let's go."
After saying that, Zhu Xi took the lead and left Guanyinnu's house.
Although Guanyin Nu's back was turned to them at this time, she also noticed their leaving movements. Guanyin Nu's hand cleaning up the dishes suddenly stopped. She walked slowly to the door and glanced at the backs of the people leaving. Close the door gently.
Just a few seconds after she closed the door, there was a sudden knock on the door. Guanyin Nu opened the door and saw Zhu Ping standing at the door nervously.
Guanyin slave's hand in front of her body couldn't help but tighten the hem of her clothes, and she asked with a somewhat unnatural look on her face: "What's wrong? Did you forget something?"
Zhu Xi looked at Guanyin Nu with burning eyes. At this moment, he seemed to melt Guanyin Nu's whole body. Such eyes made Guanyin Nu feel very uncomfortable.
"I...I just want to say I'm sorry. God sent you to me once, but I didn't cherish you and instead hurt you. I know that no amount of apology can make up for anything."
"I...I came back just to tell you that after I go back this time, I don't plan to return to the fiefdom." Zhu Xi smiled, as if a big stone had fallen from his heart.
Guanyin Nu looked away slightly and smoothed her hair pretending to be careless: "That's right, then you plan to stay in the capital forever?"
Zhu Xi shook his head: "The changes in Ming Dynasty now feel strange to me. In the first half of my life, I always felt that I wasted too much time and let down many people. I hope that in the coming days, I can do something so that I will not regret it. After returning this time, I plan to go to sea."
Guanyinnu frowned: "Going to sea? That is very dangerous..."
"There is no danger. I know that my father plans to capture the Japanese country. This time I plan to take the initiative. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will often go to sea. I also hope that I can be a helpful person to the court. But on the vast sea, I will not Knowing when I will come back, I... I'm going back, take good care of yourself, I believe you will be happy in the future."
Guanyin Nu took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "I believe it too."
Zhu Ming looked at Guanyin Nu hard, as if he wanted to remember Guanyin Nu's appearance in his mind, and then turned around and left.
Guanyinnu looked at Zhu Xi's leaving figure, and after a long time, he slowly said in a voice that only he could hear: "I hope you have a safe journey..."
Zhu Xi didn't go far when he saw Zhu Di and others peeking at him. Seeing that Zhu Xi came back so quickly, Zhu Di stepped forward and hooked Zhu Xi's neck and asked: "Why didn't you tell? I thought you would tell her your thoughts when you go back, hoping she can become your princess again."
Zhu Xi knocked Zhu Di's hand off angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I will never be able to make up for the harm I did to her in my lifetime. To her, every time I appear in front of her, I remind her of the bad things." memories, so it’s the best choice for her that I stay away from her.”
"Besides, I know very well that even if I open my mouth, she will refuse, and my father will never agree. I lost her with my own hands, and now I am not qualified to ask her to come back. I can see that, She likes her current life very much..."
"But aren't you sad?" Zhu Di looked worriedly at Zhu Xi, who was pretending to be free and easy.
Zhu Xi burst out laughing: "Are you kidding? I admit that I have a crush on her, but who am I? I am Zhu Xi, the King of Qin. I have a lot of beautiful women in my palace! I raised my fingers, There are so many women who want to be my princess, how can I be sad because of one woman.”
With that said, Zhu Xi deliberately walked a few steps quickly, leaving Zhu Di and Zhu Fan behind.
Zhu Di wanted to catch up, but was held back by Zhu Fan.
"What are you doing? Can't you see that he is being tough? I don't believe he is really so free and easy." Zhu Di complained.
Zhu Fan patted Zhu Di hard on the back, and then motioned to Zhu Di to look at Zhu Xi carefully.
Although Zhu Ming was still laughing at this time, the shrug of his shoulders seemed to have exposed his vulnerability.
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment.
"Second brother, he has real feelings this time..."
"Unfortunately, the relationship is destined to be fruitless, so the second child acted very wisely. If he entangles, it will only make things worse. It is better to forget each other in the world. This is the last love the second child shows for Guanyin Slave... ...." Zhu Fan said with a long sigh.
When he returned to the palace, Zhu Xi's eyes were still red, but neither Zhu Di nor Zhu Fan revealed the fact that he had just cried secretly. They all agreed tacitly and never mentioned Guanyin Nu again, so the name was buried in Zhu Xi's mind. In my heart.
After Empress Ma learned that Zhu Xi and the others had entered the palace, she immediately called Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao over.
"I don't know how the second, third, and fourth children are doing now. I heard that they lived a very hard life after leaving the palace." Empress Ma said with some worry.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang cared about his son in his heart, he said stubbornly: "What's there to worry about? Compared with when we were children, is their suffering considered suffering?"
"You Zhu Chongba, aren't they your children? How can you be so cruel?" Queen Ma angrily grabbed the soft flesh around Zhu Yuanzhang's waist.
Zhu Yuanzhang gasped in pain and immediately surrendered.
"Take it easy, sister, it's not that we don't care, but what can happen if Jin Yiwei is always watching? Don't forget, you supported Mr. Zhao to educate them well, but now you blame us." Zhu Yuanzhang He said aggrievedly.
Queen Ma glared at Zhu Yuanzhang: "I also hope that they can get better. How can a mother not care about her children? Anyway, this time they come back, you have to treat them well and don't be so cruel to them." , but I heard Chang Ge say that these three children have suffered a lot and have realized the mistakes they made before."
