When Liang Zhen entered the door, the woman had already put her crying eyes into walnuts to sleep. Liang Zhen stood by the bed and watched for a while, then frowned slightly and asked the woman in a low voice, "Is the child injured?"
"No, I was just scared. There were too many guards following me at that time, so I could only use some extraordinary methods. Don't blame the major general."
"Forget it, you go back and ask someone to make something the child can eat, and wait for the child to wake up and deliver it later."
"good."
After the woman left, Liang Zhen sat down on the side of the bed, gently stroking Ti'er's flushed face after falling asleep with his fingers, and the corners of his lips curled into a small arc.
The child didn't wake up until Shen Shi, calling "Daddy" and rubbing his eyes. He woke up in a daze, saw clearly who was sitting next to him, first stared blankly, and then burst into tears: "I want Daddy, Daddy!" ... woo..."
Liang Zhen picked him up, patted the child on the back and coaxed him patiently: "Your son is good, uncle is my father..."
"I don't want Uncle... I want Daddy... Woooo..."
"My dear son, don't cry. Uncle made you a bunny. See if you like it."
Liang Zhen said as if he was juggling, and put a dozen rabbit dolls made of bamboo in various shapes in front of Yu'er. There were still big tears in the eyes of the little guy, and he whimpered halfway through seeing those dolls. The rabbit suddenly stopped crying, its eyes widened, it reached out to touch each one, and then looked at Liang Zhen tearfully: "Uncle made a little rabbit?"
Liang Zhen responded with a smile: "Uncle made it, do you like it?"
The little baby nodded honestly, stared at those rabbit dolls for a while, tears began to flow down again, "I don't want the little rabbit anymore, I want Daddy, oh..."
Liang Zhen hugged the child to his body and wiped his tears. It was both helpless and funny. This crying personality was really exactly the same as Zhu Yunxuan: "Daddy will come at night, be good, don't cry, why don't Daddy You'll be angry if you see it."
"Really?" The child sniffed, holding back tears and not daring to cry again, "Will Daddy really come? Will both Daddy come?"
Liang Zhen felt uncomfortable, and patted his head: "You will know in the evening."
Miao'er looked at him eagerly: "A bad person came to rob Miao'er today, was it Uncle who rescued Miao'er?"
Liang Zhen nodded without blushing, "Yes."
When he said so, the child believed it, got into his arms and grabbed his arm, and thanked him tearfully: "Thank you, Uncle."
Liang Zhen smiled and pinched his nose: "Good boy."
General military mansion.
Zhu Yunjing picked up the note floating on the ground, and frowned after reading it: "This is...?"
Zhu Yunxuan gritted her teeth and explained: "It's Liang Zhen's handwriting, and he took Min'er away."
Zhu Yunjing: "..."
In any case, it is better for the child to be taken away by his own father than to fall into the hands of thieves. This is a blessing in misfortune. Zhu Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Zhu Yunxuan whose expression was getting uglier, and asked hesitantly: " What are you going to do?"
"... If I don't go, he won't return Min'er."
Zhu Yunjing's words of persuasion came to her lips, and after thinking about it, she decided to forget it: "Okay, ask He Huailing to lead people to ambush around, and then just play by ear."
Zhu Yunxuan pursed her lips lightly and did not say any more, her eyes fell on the rabbit outlined with a few strokes on the note, she paused for a moment, the emotion in her eyes was fleeting.
At four o'clock in Haishi, the carriage left the General Military Mansion in a low-key manner, and headed all the way to the seaside in the east of the city.
In the east of the city there is only a long-abandoned civilian wharf. The sea in this area is rough and there are many strange rocks and giant ridges by the sea. Most people don't like to come here, and it is even more deserted after nightfall.
Tonight is a rare good weather, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the sea is calm, except for the occasional breeze passing by, there is no other sound.
When Zhu Yunxuan was helped out of the car by Gao An, when he arrived, the abandoned pier was in front of him, stretching all the way from the shore. There was a small boat parked beside the pier, and there was only one punter wearing a bamboo hat on board.
Zhu Yunxuan walked a little further, looking at the ship and the people on board vigilantly, the other party's slightly hoarse voice came along with the wind: "Please also invite His Majesty the Emperor to come here."
The guard following behind him was about to draw his sword subconsciously, but Zhu Yunxuan stopped him. He asked coldly, "Who are you? Do you know why I came here?"
"The Major General ordered the grass-roots people to come and pick up His Majesty, and please condescend." The other party raised his hand and threw something over, but the guard behind Zhu Yunxuan quickly caught it and handed it to him.
It's the zodiac sign that Min'er has been wearing all these days, the zodiac sign he gave him when he first came to Quanzhou.
Zhu Yunxuan's eyes darkened, and he ordered in a deep voice: "You all go back."
Gao An anxiously said: "Your Majesty, let the servants go with you!"
The other party reminded again: "Your Majesty, please come here."
Zhu Yunxuan signaled Gao An: "You should also step back."
"His Majesty!"
Zhu Yunxuan waved his hand, walked over alone, and calmly boarded the boat.
The punter was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, and after helping Zhu Yunxuan into the boat, he respectfully reminded him: "Your Majesty, please sit still."
Zhu Yunxuan ignored him, sat down and motioned coldly: "Let's go."
The boat sailed for about two quarters of an hour, and a large boat appeared in front of it. Liang Zhen was standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the direction Zhu Yunxuan came from with a smile.
The boatman caught the rope ladder thrown from the big boat: "Your Majesty, please come aboard."
Zhu Yunxuan didn't move, and looked at Liang Zhen on the boat with a vague smile, until the boatman reminded again: "Your Majesty, please get on the boat, the wind will blow up later."
Only then did Zhu Yunxuan get up, and climbed the rope ladder to get on the big boat. Liang Zhen bent down and stretched out his hand towards him. Zhu Yunxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't climb up, and climbed up by himself.
Liang Zhen withdrew his hand, still with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at Zhu Yunxuan with a cold expression in front of him: "Your Majesty, we meet again."
"Where's Yu'er?"
"Little baby just woke up from a nap, knowing that His Majesty is coming and has been waiting and refusing to sleep again. Does Your Majesty want to see him?"
The sea breeze blew the cloak on Zhu Yunxuan's body. He squinted his eyes lightly, and looked calmly at Liang Zhen, who was always smiling but not smiling. After a long while, he asked in a deep voice: "What do you want? do what?"
At the same time, more than ten ships of the Dayan Navy broke through the night and surrounded them, Liang Zhen raised his eyebrows indifferently: "Your Majesty, didn't I clearly tell you to come alone? What are you trying to do with so many ships and people here?"
Zhu Yunxuan reminded him coldly: "As long as I order them to open fire, everyone on this boat, including you, will die."
Liang Zhen smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty, you are still on the boat. How dare Duke Ding open fire? Besides, even if Your Majesty dares to take the risk, he will definitely not want that little treasure inside to take the risk with you."
"Liang Zhen! You know that Yu'er is..."
"What is it?"
Liang Zhen smiled and blinked, and waited for Zhu Yunxuan to continue talking with great interest. Zhu Yunxuan stopped what he almost blurted out, and his eyes became darker: "What exactly do you want?"
"Tell them to back off, make way, and stop following."
Liang Zhen smiled, but there was no sign of giving in in his expression. After a brief stalemate, Zhu Yunxuan raised his hand to signal that the two boats in front of him moved back and cleared the way.
Liang Zhen gave the order to set off, the ship moved forward, Dayan's fleet followed for a while, and had to stop after Zhu Yunxuan signaled again, watching the opposite ship go further and further away and disappear into the thick fog.
"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, go inside the cabin, Min'er is still waiting." Liang Zhen reminded Zhu Yunxuan with a smile.
Zhu Yunxuan ignored him and strode into the cabin.
Xiao'er just woke up, holding a few rabbit dolls in her arms and weeping silently. When she heard the sound, she turned her head and looked in the direction of the door. When she saw Zhu Yunxuan coming in, she was taken aback for a moment, and immediately climbed out of the bed barefoot, crying "Daddy" ran towards Zhu Yunxuan.
Zhu Yunxuan stepped forward and picked up the child. The child put his arms around his neck, crying earth-shatteringly, and vented all the grievances and fears he had been holding back all day.
Zhu Yunxuan felt distressed and angry, and suddenly turned to Liang Zhen who followed, and said bitterly: "You want to do everything you want to do to me! What are you doing to the child like this? Are you afraid of scaring him and hurting him?!"
"You will always be like this! Three years later, you are still exactly the same as before! You always only care about what you want, and never consider whether others want it or not! In order to achieve your goal, you can even kill such a young child, what else do you have? Don't dare to do it?!"
"You made such a big fuss today, you just want to detain me and Xiao'er, and then? Do you think you can detain us forever like this?!"
The more Zhu Yunxuan spoke, the more excited he became, Liang Zhen hugged the crying child who was almost out of breath, and gently squeezed his hand: "Be good, stop crying."
Looking at Zhu Yunxuan whose eyes were red with anger, he paused for a moment, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, I have no other intentions, I just can't bear to part with you, and want to be alone with you for a while, even if it's only ten days and half a month."
Liang Zhen's expression darkened a little, and he smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, if there is no such thing as today, would we still have a chance to meet again in this life?"
Chu'er stopped sobbing, and looked at the two adults in front of her with teary eyes. Zhu Yunxuan was stunned, the circles of his eyes seemed to be redder, Liang Zhen raised his hand, rubbed his thumb on his eyelids, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, are you sick these days?"
After a long silence, Zhu Yunxuan said hoarsely: "... how do you know?"
"Guess, His Majesty has never set off to return to the capital, and has never left the gate of the General Military Mansion. He rarely even summons officials, probably because he is ill."
Zhu Yunxuan lowered his voice: "Do you dare to spy on me?"
Liang Zhen shook his head slightly: "I just want to see Your Majesty and Yu'er. The General Military Mansion is heavily guarded. I can't get in, so I can only watch from outside."
"... So what if you've seen it?"
"Your Majesty met me at the sea market that day, and you became ill after that?" Liang Zhen smiled, leaned forward, leaned close to Zhu Yunxuan, and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, am I your heart disease?" ? Or the kind that has no medicine but no cure?"
Zhu Yunxuan frowned, Liang Zhen didn't give him a chance to refute, chuckled, and continued: "Your Majesty, don't think so much, since you've come out, why don't you let me take you outside to have a good time. The capable Duke Ding and his wife are only here for ten days and half a month, so there will be no trouble."
Zhu Yunxuan's eyes drifted away for a moment, she pursed her lips lightly, snatched the child back, wiped away the tears hanging from the child's face, and carried her back to the bedside.
Putting the child under the quilt, Zhu Yunxuan bowed his head and kissed him, coaxing him softly: "My dear baby, go to sleep, Daddy will watch over you."
Min'er took his hand: "Daddy, don't go."
"Daddy won't leave, go to sleep."
The smile on the corners of Liang Zhen's lips deepened: "Your Majesty, please take a break too. I'll ask someone to bring hot water to Your Majesty, and I will wait for Your Majesty to wash up. I won't bother Your Majesty anymore."
After the door opened and closed, the footsteps gradually faded away, Zhu Yunxuan lowered his head, and kissed his son's face again.
