"well……"

Lu Buwei had probably never been so embarrassed. He had put his mother to bed just now, but now he was blocked at the door by his son.

His eyes dodge, and he has lost the high-spirited look he had during the day.

Seeing that his clothes were disheveled and his hair was messy, Zhao Zheng naturally would not blame him or ask any more questions. He pretended not to know anything, saluted Lu Buwei respectfully, and then said

"I wonder if Mr. Lu has time now. I have something to ask for."

Lu Buwei, who knew he was in the wrong, would certainly not refuse. He nodded and agreed quickly.

He followed Zhao Zheng's footsteps and went to his house.

At this time, Lu Buwei still felt guilty and flustered. Seeing that Zhao Zheng still wanted to pour tea, he quickly refused. At this time, he just wanted to escape as soon as possible.

"If you want me to help you ascend to the position of prince, there is no need to say these things. Just now, your mother has already told me before you spoke."

"I know. Just when you came out of her room, I knew she was doing this."

Zhao Zheng never stopped. He placed the teacup in front of Lu Buwei and poured him tea.

This seemingly ordinary sentence made Lu Buwei, who was over forty years old, so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it!

In order to cover up his panic, he pretended to cough a few times.

"Ah, so, so...then why...you called me late at night?"

I can no longer treat him as an inexperienced young man who knows nothing.

Lu Buwei drank tea and saw Zhao Zheng's calm and calm look, which already seemed to be a bit like an emperor. He definitely could not let himself underestimate him.

"I want you to take another person back to Qin."

Zhao Zheng sat down in front of Lu Buwei. He was not timid at all. He straightened his back and said with great energy.

"I want you to take Shimiya back with you."

Zhizi Moruomu, Zhao Lijiang had long expected that his son would definitely take this girl back with him.

Although the question was a bit redundant, Lu Buwei still asked

"Why do you have to take her back? As far as I know, you have only known each other for a few months. Is our friendship so important?"

Zhao Zheng had no intention of hiding his feelings. When Lu Buwei asked, he admitted it quite frankly.

"Mr. Lu, don't laugh at my youth and ignorance. I probably like Shimiya a little bit."

The young man in front of him revealed his friendship for the first time. For Zhao Zheng, if he were to fall in love at the age of twelve, it would be a bit too presumptuous. Zhao Zheng really didn’t know what love was, but if he liked it, he would He can tell people around him without hesitation that he likes Shikiya.

Lu Buwei did not laugh at Zhao Zheng's childish feelings, and he had no intention of trying to offend him or persuade him to sever this friendship. He took a sip of tea. It had been a long time since he had spoken to anyone with such kindness and gentleness.

"Why do you like her?"

He asked in an elder's tone

Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and replied with a smile.

"I have been a hostage in Zhao State for twelve years. No one except Yan Dan would talk to me. But Shimi's appearance not only encouraged me not to despair because of the situation in front of me, but also 100% and complete trust. Me, stand up for me. If it weren’t for her encouragement, I don’t think I would have let go of all the grudges I had in the past.”

Zhao Zheng paused and said with a smile

"If it hadn't been for her appearance, my life would have been gloomy. If it hadn't been for her appearance, how could I have brought back the good news of Qin? With her by my side, I feel very at ease, and it seems that there will be no problem no matter what I do." of."

His eyes flickered with expectation, eager for Lu Buwei to agree. Lu Buwei also knew very well in his heart that it would be easy for him to take a commoner like Shimi back, and no one would even ask. But Lu Buwei understood better that if he violated the Not to mention what that woman Zhao Lijiang meant, Shimi would definitely suffer all kinds of hardships from her if he returned to Qin. If the trouble got bigger, Zhao Zheng's position as the crown prince would also be in jeopardy.

He was silent and said nothing.

Yes, Zhao Lijiang is right. If Zhao Zheng wants to fight for the position of prince, how can he be entangled by the love of his children? Now is not the time to fall in love. If he becomes the prince in the future, how can he be entangled by Shimi's love? Her status is not suitable for being a princess. There must be a woman with a more noble status beside the prince to help him. Shimiya... being a concubine is okay.

Seeing that Lu Buwei was silent, Zhao Zheng asked again

"Mr. Lu, are you having trouble taking her back?"

Lu Buwei sighed, spoke in the gentlest tone, and rejected his proposal.

"Zhao Zheng, do you know that you have an important mission when you go back this time? It is really not a good time to talk about the relationship between your children."

Seeing that his twinkling starlight dimmed instantly, Lu Buwei couldn't bear it, and then added

"I am taking you back this time because of the Qin Kingdom. You are very smart and you must know what I mean. If a man does not achieve hegemony and only strives for this short-term happiness, how can he achieve great things, let alone ... When you return to Qin, there are too many potential crises, and so many pairs of eyes are looking at you. If you indulge in the gentle land, how can your father feel confident about leaving Qin in your hands?

"Then... Shimi can only stay in Zhao country?"

Zhao Zheng's tone also lost energy.

In order to appease him, Lu Buwei said

"Of course you won't stay in the Zhao Kingdom all your life. If...you successfully become the crown prince of the Qin Kingdom, you can naturally take her back. I think by then, the King of Qin will definitely know that you are a capable person and will definitely not refuse you, this little It’s a small suggestion.”

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Buwei added

"When you have established a firm foothold in Qin State, why don't you worry about not meeting Shimiya? You said Shimiya is reasonable and understands your painstaking efforts. How can I blame you? She will definitely support your decision."

Yes... Lu Buwei's analysis is indeed reasonable. He returned to Qin to fight for the Qin Kingdom. How many pairs of good and bad eyes were staring at him. If Shimi was brought back, how could he protect Shimi as a weak person? What about her? How could I bear to put her in crisis.

But...if we say goodbye, I won't be able to see her again for a long time.

At this time, Zhao Zheng's joy of returning to Qin has been washed away, and he is more worried about being separated from Shimi.

After the conversation with Lu Buwei ended, Zhao Zheng knocked on Shimi's door.

Tonight, Shimi did not fall asleep, because tonight was the night he was about to say goodbye to Zhao Zheng. When the five stars gathered together, he would rely on the power of the Pisces Jade Pendant to return to modern times and say goodbye to everything here.

Of course, the mood is complicated. Shikiya doesn't want to think too much about this complicated mood. Although this mood contains joy, it is also more sad.

She knew that she was already a little reluctant to let go of Zhao Zheng.
