Chapter 23 Undercurrent

The sixth year of Yuanlong, this year is destined to be remembered forever by history.

"My lord, Your Highness has been here for several days. Are you planning to go to Fuzhou?"

Xu Lai carefully pinched Xu Zhaohe's shoulders. Although he couldn't see Xu Zhaohe's expression at this time, it could be seen from his pen that he had stopped for a long time that he was very conflicted at this time.

"Brother Sheng's invitation at this time is really suspicious."

"But, it's the sage king's [-]th birthday, so there's no reason for the prince not to go."

"This king knows, but now that the third brother has fallen, this king has become a thorn in the side of the holy brother. I really don't believe it. The holy brother will miss this good opportunity and sincerely invite him."

"That's the case, but the prince has an appointment with His Highness, and His Highness came here in person this time, and it is also sincere..."

"Hmph, our Highness, where do you still remember the old agreement? Xu Lai, do you really think that this king has moved Ji Niang's hatred, has he already forgotten?" Xu Zhaohe put down his pen and pinched his brows .

"However, His Highness has indeed helped us do a lot in Fuzhou these years, even if Ji Niang's incident annoyed him, the prince has treated Ji Niang mother and son badly these years, and he has lost contact with Ji Niang. He will not forget the old covenant with the interests at stake."

"Benefits at the top? It also depends on whose interests it is. This king wanted to plan slowly, and it would be best not to do anything with this king until the holy brother gets old. Everything will come naturally. The worst plan is that our little Highness has not yet Do it before he grows up. But what I didn't expect was that Zhilou, he grew up so fast! In the past two years, he really kept a low profile, concealed his abilities, and listened to my affairs one by one. He really decided to rely on this king, not for Ji Niang, nor for that lifeless sister, but because of his own interests. However, last year when the third child fell down, this king suddenly realized that he was not knowing. Juejian has grown up and knows how to play tricks, and now, the deal between him and this king has actually reached the point where the interests are paramount, but it is not the interests of the king."

"What does the lord mean, Ji Niang can no longer threaten him?" Xu Lai pondered Xu Zhaohe's words, but still asked a little uncertainly.

"People are always changing. In the past few years, he was pure and ignorant. Both Ji Niang and his sister could be said to be his weaknesses, but I don't believe it. He has been in a high position these few years. Will he be tempted by that position? Xu Lai, There is no man in this world who does not seek fame and wealth. The king has expected it long ago, and has changed his bargaining chips. Facts have proved that the king's guess is right. As for Ji Niang, she is already the king's woman, and Luo Chen is The successor chosen by this king has long since had nothing to do with him." Xu Zhaohe waved his hand, signaling Xu Lai to back away, and stood up.

"Let Han'er take a look at the one in Fuzhou in advance. From the looks of it this year, he is also a malleable talent, but his temper needs to be honed."

"Yes, my lord."

"Mother, Huahua..." Xiao Luochen nestled in Ji Xunyue's arms, but pointed to the few flowers pinched in Cai Ying's hands, with yearning and curiosity on his face.

Ji Xunyue couldn't help smiling, and looked up at Cai Ying.

Cai Ying originally stood far away, but Ji Xunyue felt a little guilty, and walked over helplessly, and handed the flowers in front of Luo Chen, but when he reached out to take them, he backed away, "This But I managed to find a few crape myrtles that bloomed early, Xiao Shizi, just take a look, don't crush them again!"

"Wuwu, Huahua! Huahua!" Xiao Luochen was in a hurry, kicked his legs in Ji Xunyue's arms, tears welled up, and looked at Cai Ying pitifully, his eyes full of tears were so beautiful. Caiying's heart was about to melt, so he quickly handed over the flowers.

"Okay, I'm really scared of you!"

"It's just a few flowers. The crape myrtle will bloom in a few days. You can just cut one and bring it to the house." Ji Xunyue looked down at her son, her mother's tenderness in her eyes.

"Ma'am, you will pamper the little prince!" Caiying could see that Ji Xunyue was in a good mood, so she pretended to complain.

Ji Xunyue smiled without saying a word, shaking her body gently, coaxing Luo Chen.

A figure in the distance approached slowly, stopped to look at the happy scene in front of him for a while, and then approached with a smile and asked, "Is Luo Chen already able to talk?"

Hearing this voice, Ji Xunyue's body froze, she slowly raised her head, and met the pair of eyes engraved in her memory.

"See Your Highness!" Caiying was also taken aback for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and hurriedly greeted Zhilou.

"Get up." Zhilou nodded lightly, with his hands behind his back.The current her is no longer the one she was three years ago, and she unintentionally has a little more arrogance that belongs to the king.

Luo Chen pinched the flower, and looked up at the unfamiliar person in front of him, and it happened that Zhilou was also looking at him.His facial features are still slightly crumpled, but it can still be seen that he looks a lot like Ji Xunyue.Just this face made Zhilou full of love.

"Hug~" The child can feel the thoughts of the people around him. Zhilou's love is written on his face, which also makes him feel close to this stranger, and stretches out his arms towards Zhilou.

Ji Xunyue was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhilou nervously, but seeing her smile, she naturally reached out to take Luo Chen, for some reason, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Daddy..." Luo Chen was not very good at calling people, but when he saw that Zhilou was dressed like a man, he blurted out and called out Daddy, Zhilou's expression froze.

"Hey, you can't call it indiscriminately, Xiao Shizi, you have to call this one, uncle!" Caiying also saw the embarrassment, and hurriedly interrupted.

Zhilou reached out and tapped the tip of Luo Chen's nose, and smiled faintly, "What's your name, uncle, I'm Zhilou, come on, call Zhilou!"

"Zhi...lou..." Luo Chen called out the name with some hesitation, Zhilou laughed happily when he heard it, and put his forehead against Luo Chen's, causing him to giggle.It's also strange to say that Luo Chen has been watched very closely by Ji Xunyue since he was a child, and has always disliked getting close to strangers, but this time when he met Zhilou, he was inexplicably close.

Ji Xunyue smiled and watched the two of them arguing. After a while, Luo Chen began to get tired. Cai Ying looked at Ji Xunyue's face, took Luo Chen from Zhilou's arms with great interest, and turned to the other The girls winked, and they all walked away.

"This child really resembles my sister, but she doesn't have the same temper." Zhilou sat down, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "It still smells like scented tea made by my sister."

Ji Xunyue shook her head with a smile, reached out and twirled the crape myrtle flower that Luo Chen had smeared on her collar, "How do you know that he is not like me, but if he falls in love with you, other people probably won't care about him."

"Naturally, I hit it off, it's like my sister!" Zhilou replied with a smile.

Ji Xunyue glanced at her, with a bit of anger in her eyes, it was the first time Zhilou saw her like this, she couldn't help being a little stunned.

"Sister, I found that since you had Luo Chen, you have changed a lot."

"People will always change, not to mention women. In fact, I occasionally feel lucky to have Luo Chen now. At least with him, I still have hope for the future, and I won't be lonely in the future."

"How can my sister be lonely, I will always be with my sister!" Zhilou immediately retorted.

"Hehe, life is short and long, so how can we know what will happen in the future."

Ji Xunyue smiled bitterly, she really thought too much this year, she didn't lie, now she is very lucky to have Luo Chen, although she never gave up on her original decision to protect Zhilou, but she also started I thought about a question, Zhilou, do you really need my company?They are too different, with Zhilou's temperament, if he is free in the future, he will naturally want to wander around, but as for himself, do you really want to?Although it is not hard to stay with her, even wandering around, but she gradually felt that she was a little powerless. She really wanted to find a peaceful place, guard a hut, guard a person and just live like this. Tired of those human conditions, so many things have happened, she has already lost the courage to face the new environment.She is no longer the girl she was when she was young and ignorant.Of course, no matter how many reasons you give yourself, what makes her feel powerless the most is that Zhilou has always regarded her as her sister, but for the rest of her life, is the person Zhilou should have by her side really her sister... She doesn't He will doubt Zhilou's sincerity in saying this now, nor will he doubt her determination.However, if one day, someone more suitable than herself appears, will she be willing to make Zhilou entangled...

"Sister, what are you thinking?"

Ji Xunyue suddenly came back to her senses, and found that Zhilou in front of her was staring straight at her, with very clear eyes.She suddenly felt short of breath, and even forgot that she should answer.

"Sister, are you ready?"

"What?" This time she heard clearly, but she couldn't understand, preparation, what preparation?

"leave."

Those two short words seemed to throw a boulder into the lake of her heart, causing huge waves.How could she not know what that leaving meant? She had been looking forward to that, but at some point, she suddenly found that she had become numb.She didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't dare to mention it.Why doesn't she know how much effort the person in front of her has put in for these two words? What she sees is so complicated, but what about those who don't?A girl who was underage, a young boy who was originally innocent, broke through her own world in just a few years in the life-and-death political struggle, and became a thorn in the side of those who stood at the top.She doesn't like politics, she has no ambitions, she knows it better than anyone else!In the past few years, I have lived in chaos by guarding the scabbed wound, but this person, how can life be easy... Now, everything is coming to an end...

She suddenly felt a little dazed.

Since that day, Zhilou has frequently appeared in front of Ji Xunyue again. Luo Chen seems to like her very much, and after only meeting her a few times, he clings to her, and even makes a fuss if he doesn't see her before going to bed at night. noisy.Zhilou also likes this child from the bottom of her heart. It is impossible to say that she has no grudges in her heart, but facing the clear eyes of this child looking at her, she cannot deny that she will occasionally forget those bitter memories.In fact, this kind of mood is not limited to Zhilou. Whenever Ji Xunyue sees two people laughing, one big and one small, Ji Xunyue will forget that terrible past in a trance. The reality is too beautiful, so beautiful that they can't bear it. Go look at those scars again.The wound has healed, and although the scar will remain forever, it can always be covered up, and it can be temporarily deceived.

The days go by smoothly, but what happened outside has never escaped Zhilou's eyes. She knows that it is not the end of everything, but rather, the last peace before the storm.She is willing to keep this short period of peace for her sister.

When Xu Han arrived in Fuzhou, he met the sickly Yang Zhixiao.Officials of all sizes in Fuzhou kept visiting, expressing their dissatisfaction with the Holy King either tactfully or directly.The topic is that the Holy King is short-sighted and has no heirs, so he is not the real son of heaven. On the other hand, King Mu is like the son of heaven. They hope to vote for the master.

Before setting off, Xu Zhaohe carefully instructed Xu Han to be more distracted, but after all, Xu Han was not very understanding of the world, so he was pleased by the words of these officials and wrote a letter to his father , the words in the letter are very passionate, full of disdain for Yang Zhixiao, let Xu Zhaohe come to Fuzhou with peace of mind, and make preparations for going south as soon as possible.As for the preparation, the father and son tacitly agreed.

Xu Zhao and He He were scheming, received the letter, summoned their staff to discuss it carefully, and finally decided to go south in response to the imperial edict, but the target was Jinzhou on the side of Fuzhou.This time going south, Xu Zhaohe ordered half of the family members, including the eldest son Luo Chen and Ji Xunyue, and invited Zhilou to go with him, and the time was set at the end of October.
