Zhu Yan searched for him for a long time and then found him in the garden. Seeing that he was entranced, he jumped up and sat next to Yuan Hao.
"what's on your mind?"
Yuan Hao turned to look at Zhu Yan. His formerly clean and handsome face was covered with sloppy stubble, and his black and white clear peach blossom eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. He was obviously young and handsome, but he looked haggard as if he was ten years older.
"Brother Zimo, you miss my sister too, don't you?"
Zhu Yan put his arms around Yuan Hao's shoulders and said with a wry smile: "If you want ten points, I will give you one hundred percent."
Yuan Hao knew that what he said was true. He loved his sister to the core. He was suffering more than anyone else because his sister's life and death were unknown.
"Brother Zimo, I want to leave the palace."
Zhu Yan's expression changed slightly: "You want to leave the palace? Where are you going?"
Yuan Hao shook his head: "I don't know, but I can't stay here and wait any longer. I want to find my sister. No matter where she is, I must find her."
Zhu Yan smiled bitterly: "Silly boy, how are you going to find her on your own? Don't worry, with Brother Zimo here, we will definitely find your sister and reunite our family."
Yuan Hao shook his head. Although he was only thirteen years old this year, he looked more mature and stable than the average teenager. This was because he had experienced many hardships in the past thirteen years that no teenager had ever experienced before.
His sister once taught him that he must rely on himself first and only when he has no choice, can he count on others. Although Brother Zimo is none other than his brother-in-law, he is also the future king of this country. He has many He was so helpless that he was not as free as a lonely young man, so he didn't want to be trapped in this palace anymore. Although he had a pair of wings, he couldn't fly into the blue sky.
"The world is so big, I want to see it!" He used a sentence his sister once said to say goodbye to his eldest brother Zimo.
Zhu Yan was slightly startled, looking at the handsome young man in front of him, as if he had grown up overnight. There was no longer youthfulness in his eyes, but only persistence and determination.
He knew that no matter what he said, nothing could stop his heart from flying into the sky. Yes, the world was so big, and Yuan Qiu might be in any corner of the world. How could he find it if he didn't go and look
"Yuanhao, wait for me for three days, and we will go together to see the world and find your sister. No matter how much time it takes, no matter how much land we have to travel, we must find her, and we will definitely find her."
After all, Yuan Hao is a boy, just a boy. He always feels a little uneasy when he sets sail alone. Now that Brother Zimo is with him, he has nothing to fear.
The joy on the young man's face could not be hidden, but after the joy, a touch of worry arose again: "Brother Zimo, is this appropriate? The emperor is getting older and counting on you to assist in supervising state affairs. If you give up and leave, the emperor will —”
Zhu Yan shook his head, interrupted Yuan Hao's words, and said: "Father is in his prime years, and I don't know how many more prosperous years there are. It will be okay for me to leave for a while."
Yuan Hao was even more ecstatic in his heart. With Zhu Yan's promise, he no longer had any scruples.
The next day, East Palace.
Xing Ying came to report in a hurry, with a solemn look on his face.
Zhu Yan slapped the case and stood up, furious: "What did you say? Was it Empress Jiang who hit the arrow on the cliff in Yuanqiu?"
Xing Ying nodded: "Your Highness, the man I met in the Royal Garden yesterday is named Ma Liu. He is a down-and-out knight in the world. He is very skilled. He was bribed by Empress Jiang's people only because he got into the bad habit of gambling. Then The King of Riliang took the Crown Princess out of the palace, and she immediately sent out Ma Liu, telling him to wait for the opportunity to kill the Crown Princess."
