Hu Huanxi knew that he was probably going to leave, so he informed Zhuangzhuang first.
Zhuangzhuang and Xiaoxiao went to stop him from wandering around again. How long would it take to find him if they kept searching in such a hopeless way
"Don't go again. Are you really going to give up this country and this kingdom for Zi'an? The emperor is not strong enough now, Grand Secretary Yuan and the royal brother are old, and King Ye is a careless guy. Who can you rely on?" Zhuangzhuang said earnestly.
Murong Jie packed up Zi'an's things, even the rouge and powder that Zi'an had used before, and he kept them one by one. After listening to Zhuang Zhuang's words, there was no expression on his face, and he only said lightly: "Even if the emperor loses me, he still has many loyal ministers to help him."
Zhuangzhuang grabbed his sleeve and begged, "Don't leave. If you go out, I will still worry about you. Zi'an won't come back. Don't go looking for him, okay?"
Xiao Xiao glanced at Zhuang Zhuang and said softly, "Forget it, let him go."
They all understand that there is a kind of suffering that, even if you use all your heart to endure, will eventually lead to collapse. As he walks on the road, at least he still has hope in his heart.
If you give up, you really won't be able to survive.
Zhuangzhuang cried bitterly, "How could this happen? Where did Zi'an go? If you are dead, do you have a ghost? Can you see that Lao Qi has gone crazy because of you? If you are not dead, where are you?"
The only responses she got were the sound of the wind and the look of despair on Murong Jie's face.
Murong Jie finally left again. Nanny saw him off at the door. The horse's hooves raised dust. It was unclear whether it was tears that blurred her eyes or the dust that fascinated her eyes.
She stood at the gate of the mansion for a long time, until Wanjing came out to pull her, then she slowly walked back.
The nanny is sixty years old this year. She fell last year and is not very mobile. After she walked a few steps, she felt her legs go weak and sat down in front of the corridor.
After a long while, she gently said to Wan Jing, "Send away all the nurses in the mansion."
Those wet nurses were carefully selected by her and she had kept them all the time. Even though Zi'an had been missing for more than two years, she still kept them.
Wan Jing was slightly surprised, "Mammy, do you think the princess will not come back?"
The nanny looked at the sky just breaking through the dawn light, "She will come back, but the prince is already two years old and doesn't need a wet nurse anymore."
After a pause, she continued, "Also, put all the small clothes I made for the prince in the closet first. The ones in swaddling clothes can no longer be worn. I have to make some new ones tomorrow, waiting for the princess and the prince to come back."
Wanjing remained silent. She was more rational and felt that the princess was dead.
However, no one talked about this topic, not even Wu Yanzu.
"Xiaodao has been gone for two years. I wonder where he is now?" Wanjing asked.
The nanny sighed, "If I were more mobile, I would also like to go out and look for her. I just don't believe that such a healthy person could just disappear like that."
The nanny was old and knew that what she said was wrong. She had seen a lot of things in the palace. If something was gone, it was gone.
But those people were not the princess. The princess would not just disappear like that. She was special in her heart. She was sold into the palace when she was young, and her best years were buried in that palace. She had the opportunity to leave the palace, but the queen had just joined the harem at that time and kept her in the palace.
Although the queen favored her, in her eyes, she was just a capable servant.
Only the princess treated her as a human being.
She was clearly just a servant, but the princess respected her.
As servants at this age, they have no shortage of money, but what they lack is respect and affection.
She had prayed to the Buddha for a long time to get that child, but she didn't believe that the child would be gone with the princess.
"Wanjing, I've been feeling really upset lately. I'm worried that I'm too old and in poor health to wait for the princess to come back, and I won't be able to see the prince either."
Wan Jing comforted him, "What nonsense are you talking about? You have a solid foundation, but you need to eat more and take good care of yourself. Ask Grandpa to give you a few more acupuncture treatments for your leg, and everything will be fine. Your body is not good. When the princess brings the prince back, will you be able to take care of him? If the prince is active, you won't be able to catch up with him."
A warm smile appeared on the nanny's face, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes piled up like a beautiful fish tail.
There was a gleam in her eyes, as if she could see the prince running in the yard right now.
That’s great. That’s great.
Beimo, since Qin Zhou ascended the throne, he changed the country's name to Qin.
In the two years since he ascended the throne, Qin Zhou worked hard to govern the country, quell conflicts with neighboring countries, open up trade routes, and greatly improve the economy and the breeding and catering industries.
In the past, when people talked about Beimo, they would mention its strong military force.
But when talking about the Qin State today, people would say that the Qin State's catering industry was really great.
Especially the wide variety of dim sum, which made diners from other countries linger.
It is said that these snacks were promoted by the emperor and introduced throughout the country.
Probably no one knows that when she was still General Qin, she once saw a man eating snacks, which left a deep impression on her.
In fact, she knew that person didn't really like snacks and sweets that much, but she didn't have many memories of them. She had experienced life and death, but those experiences were all accompanied by pain.
For a king, the life and death of the people is the most unforgettable thing.
It's lonely at the top, but Emperor Qin Zhou is not without friends.
After Princess An recovered, she married Tianjizi.
Princess An was very open-minded about the change of dynasties. The Northern Desert had been corrupted to the extreme. Although the country's name had been changed with the appearance of Qin Zhou, at least she did not have to bear too much pressure from the royal family. It was good for her to be an ordinary citizen.
So, when Qin Zhou wanted to make her the Princess of Qin, she refused.
She enjoys the ordinary.
After Prince Liang's wedding, Ajing took Rouyao back to Qin to report on his work.
When she met Qin Zhou in the palace, Rouyao couldn't help but talk about Murong Jie's return to the capital.
In the past two years, Qin Zhou has been unable to find anyone to talk about her, as well as the people and things related to her.
When Rouyao talked about this, Qin Zhou felt as if he was in another world.
"He never let it go." After hearing what Rouyao said, Qin Zhou sighed softly.
The emperor was wearing bright yellow casual clothes and a jade hairpin on his head. His face looked even more cold and heroic, and his imperial aura was fully revealed.
Rouyao looked at the person in front of her and always had an illusion that she was a man.
"How can it be easy to let go?" Rouyao smiled bitterly. She had liked him in the past, but he turned a blind eye to it. At that time, she thought he was born to be cold-hearted.
He is not cold-hearted. Once he falls in love, he will be more devoted than anyone else. He just doesn't know how to express it.
"Yeah, how can it be easy to let go?" Qin Zhou said dejectedly, his eyes dim.
"Let alone him, sometimes when I think of Zi'an, my heart aches." Rouyao said.
"Yeah, it hurts so much!" Qin Zhou murmured.
How can anyone who has not experienced it understand that feeling
People say that time is the most ruthless. As time goes by, all pain will be covered up.
However, she believes that time is indeed ruthless, but as time goes by, there is a kind of pain that becomes clearer.
