After coming out of Yu Jingdu's mansion, Rong Zhuo went to Xunhuan Tower again.

Now that the cooperation with the household department has almost been discussed, he can finally start to quickly advance the things that he hadn't dared to settle before.

Whether it's the moisturizer in cooperation with Sister Hua, or the patented medicine in cooperation with the Song family, they can now be mass-produced.

Rong Zhuo's plan is that after Jing Du sets off, they will transport a batch of them there first, so that before winter, they may be able to make two more trips.

After meeting with Imperial Physician Wu last time, on behalf of the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Wu presented Rong Zhuo with two prescriptions, saying that he could use these two prescriptions to make medicine.Not only that, Imperial Physician Wu also decided to recruit some people from the Imperial Hospital to specialize in making medicines, so at that time, the Imperial Hospital will also produce a batch of patented medicines, which will be transported to Beijiang by Rong Zhuo.

That day, when Rong Zhuo came out of Xun Huan Building, he also went to meet Shopkeeper Song, and finally went to Duan Mansion again, and went back after a busy trip.

By the time Rong Zhuo returned home, it was already late.

He remembered the agreement with Yu Jingdu, and hurried to the house without eating much dinner.

Now the weather is getting hotter, even after nightfall, there is no coolness.

After Rong Zhuo took a bath, he only wore a thin pajamas.

He walked around the house and extinguished all the candles near the inner room, leaving only two candles in the corner.

On the table in the house, there is the red rose that he just brought back from the garden today.

After thinking about it, he took one flower out of the vase, tore off all the petals, and threw it on the quilt.

But he tilted his head and stared at the bed sprinkled with red petals for a while, and felt that it was a bit too much, so he quickly picked up the petals and threw them out of the window.

In the end, he didn't feel embarrassed to make any more flowers, so he just quietly lit incense in the room.

On the bedside cabinet was the balm he had brought back from Sister Hua, which was said to be the most expensive in Xunhuan Building.

He couldn't help but unscrew the lid and smell it, it was quite fragrant.

Thinking that Yu Jingdu hadn't come yet, he stretched out his fingertips and wiped a little bit.

The balm is smooth and delicate to the touch, and it should be...

Rong Zhuo didn't know what to think of, his cheeks blushed, and he quickly closed the lid again.

Rong Zhuo has also thought a lot these past few days, he feels that now that he and Yu Jingdu have reached this point, there is no need to be so awkward anymore.Although he was a little embarrassed about this kind of thing, in his mind, the relationship between the two was originally an equal relationship, so it may not necessarily mean that Jing Du took the initiative to speak.

As long as he knows that the other party really likes him and will cherish him, that's enough.

Especially since Yu Jingdu is going to Beijiang now, even if he will go with the caravan later, but the two of them cannot go together, they will definitely not be able to see each other for a long time.

Even after arriving in Beijiang, Yu Jingdu was in the army, so we couldn't see him often.

So Rong Zhuo decided not to be reserved tonight and take the initiative.

As long as he takes the initiative, Yu Jingdu will definitely cooperate.

Thinking of this, Rong Zhuo couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

That night, it was rare for Yu Jingdu to come early.

In the past, every time he came, he had to wait until Rong Zhuo was sleepy, but today Rong Zhuo didn't wait long, and he came.

Yu Jingdu was extremely thoughtful, as soon as he entered the door, he could smell the scent of incense in the room.

He took off his outer robe calmly, glanced at the room, saw that the candle was dim, obviously it was done on purpose, and he had some guesses in his heart.

Rong Zhuo is usually very shy, every time he thinks he doesn't put out the candle.

Today was considerate, he didn't let him get in the dark, but just placed the candle in the corner.

Now the room is dim, at a level of light where details cannot be seen clearly, but outlines can be vaguely seen.

For some reason, such light made the atmosphere a bit more ambiguous.

Feeling hot in Yu Jingdu's heart, he strode to the back of the screen, and saw Rong Zhuo lying on the couch under the quilt pretending to sleep, but the boy's messy breathing betrayed him.

"Asleep?" Yu Jingdu lifted the quilt, only to realize that Rong Zhuo was naked.

The boy was obviously a little shy, and when the quilt was lifted, he couldn't help shrinking his body.

Yu Jingdu lay down next to him calmly, and slowly reached out to hug Rong Zhuo.

Rong Zhuo let the other party hug him, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Yu Jingdu by the faint candlelight.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Yu Jingdu asked him.

"Not too long."

In the dim light, Rong Zhuo's eyes looking at Yu Jingdu were extraordinarily bright.

Yu Jingdu knew that he must be extremely embarrassed at this time, but he still pretended to be calm.

At this moment, Yu Jingdu couldn't help feeling a little itchy in his heart, and many messy thoughts rushed out, clamoring for him to give up his reason and do something to Rong Zhuo, but his reason still prevailed.

"The departure date has been set. I will take people away in four days, and I will leave after half a month after the military supplies." Yu Jingdu moved to Rong Zhuo's lips and kissed, but it was just a shallow kiss, "At that time, you will take the merchant with you." After the team arrives in Beijiang, your guys know what to do, and they will take you to meet me."

"En." Rong Zhuo nodded obediently.

"If there is any accident, I mean if... if you get separated, no one will take you with you." Yu Jingdu said: "After you arrive in Beijiang, you can go to my old friends, and I will greet them in advance .Tomorrow I will list their residences and names to you, and you will burn them after you read them and memorize them.”

Rong Zhuo nodded again when he heard the words, but still didn't speak.

"On the way, you are very likely to encounter bandits or bandits." Yu Jingdu said, "But there are so many of you, most people dare not attack you. Even if you really fight, your guys can Cope with it. At that time, you just need to remember one thing, don’t worry about anything, just protect yourself.”

"Ah."

"Have I ever practiced your sleeve arrow? Be sure to take it with you on the way. I found someone to get the medicine. Later, you put the medicine on the arrow. Remember not to hurt your hands. If not, you can let your Guys help you, they know this."

"How long are you going to talk?" Rong Zhuo couldn't help asking.

Yu Jingdu smiled, raised his hand to pinch his chin, "Can't wait?"

"I miss you these few days." Rong Zhuo said, "You have become the crown prince, and I haven't congratulated you yet..."

Yu Jingdu didn't wait for him to finish, so he pretended to kiss him.

Rong Zhuo let him kiss her, feeling excited and nervous.

He wanted to remind Yu Jingdu to slow down for a while, because he was afraid of pain.

……

But to his surprise, Yu Jingdu didn't go any further that night.

Rong Zhuo was a little surprised, he didn't know if the other party really didn't understand his hint, or what happened.

But he clearly saw that Yu Jingdu's gaze paused for a moment when he caught a glimpse of the porcelain pots on the cabinet, which meant that Yu Jingdu must have understood what was on top of it and what it meant.

It is impossible for someone as smart as Yu Jingdu not to understand such a straightforward hint.

But he just didn't do anything, even when he got close to Rong Zhuo, he was a little more restrained than before.

Rong Zhuo couldn't understand what the other party was thinking.

But now that the matter has come to this point, he feels aggrieved again when he asks with a low face.

Yu Jingdu seemed to be aware of Rong Zhuo's emotions, and whispered in his ear: "You are still young..."

"You're so young!" Rong Zhuo muffled, "I'm not too young!"

"I mean you are young." Yu Jingdu said, "Wait until I come back from the border, okay?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Rong Zhuo turned over and ignored him.

Yu Jingdu leaned close to him and asked in a low voice, "Are you unhappy?"

"I'm sleepy." Rong Zhuo said.

"If you want to now..."

"Yu Jingdu!" Rong Zhuo said a little aggrieved, "Who do you think I am?"

"That was not what I meant."

"No matter what you mean, I don't want to talk to you now." Rong Zhuo said, "If you say another word, I will leave!"

Yu Jingdu's heart froze, knowing that he was really angry, he could only keep his mouth shut.

Rong Zhuo knew that Yu Jingdu would definitely be able to find a reasonable reason to explain all this, but now that he was angry, no matter what the other party said, he would feel embarrassed.

Yu Jingdu originally wanted to explain to him the next morning.

Unexpectedly, Li Feng called him away in the middle of the night.

He wanted to leave a letter for Rong Zhuo to explain, but he felt that this matter still needs to be explained in person, so as not to hurt Rong Zhuo's heart.So he just left a short note, telling Rong Zhuo to come back to him the next night.

After Rong Zhuo woke up, he was still a little bored.

He was not simply angry with Jing Du, because he knew that the other party cared about him, so he would definitely not hurt or belittle him.

His more emotion is to feel ashamed.

If he had known that Yu Jingdu had no such plan, he shouldn't have taken the initiative!

After he was busy with the caravan that day, he took a rare break to go to Jiang Yuezhai with Duan Zheng.

Probably because he was in a bad mood, Rong Zhuo had a few drinks with Duan Zheng for the first time.

"Cousin, you will marry Xiaotang, right?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

"I want to marry." Duan Zheng said: "But you have to take it step by step, don't be in a hurry."

"That's right, although uncle is an open-minded person, most of this matter should be given time for him to accept it." Rong Zhuo said.

"Yeah." Seeing that he took the initiative to drink today, Duan Zheng guessed that he was not in a good mood, and asked, "What about you?"

If it was a different day, Rong Zhuo would never tell Duan Zheng about his feelings.

But today he drank alcohol, so he didn't have so many burdens.

After getting a little drunk, he felt a little desire to talk.

After all, he was young, and it was his first love with Yu Jingdu, so he naturally wanted to talk to someone when he was depressed.

"I don't know what he thinks." Rong Zhuo sighed: "I know he cares about me, but sometimes I feel like I can't see through him."

"He is the prince, the future emperor, so his thoughts are naturally deep." Duan Zheng said: "It's normal that you can't see through him, don't blame your cousin for speaking bluntly, when he becomes emperor in the future, you will only be even more unable to see through him .”

Although Duan Zheng knew about the relationship between Rong Zhuo and Yu Jingdu, he actually didn't know much about Jingdu.

In his opinion, if Yu Jingdu will be the emperor in the future, he must be a bunch of women from the Sangong Sixth Courtyard, so he doesn't really approve of Rong Zhuo and Yu Jingdu's matter from the bottom of his heart.It's just that Rong Zhuo likes it himself, so he can't forcefully stop him.

"However, listen to my cousin's advice. There are many men in the world. If he makes you unhappy, you can kick him." Duan Zheng said: "There are good people like us everywhere. People like it, not bad for him.”

Rong Zhuo couldn't help laughing, "You're right!"

"You really think so?" Duan Zheng asked him.

Rong Zhuo was still angry at the moment, and after drinking, he opened his mouth and said, "Could it be fake? Anyway, I haven't had that kind of relationship with him, even formal..."

"What did you say?" Duan Zheng hurriedly asked, "Haven't you guys ever had that?"

Rong Zhuo's mind turned slowly at the moment, and he was stunned by his question for a long time before realizing what he said.

But the words have been spoken, and it is not easy to take them back.

So he said, "Of course not, I'm a very conservative person!"

"Xiao Zhuo!" Duan Zheng grabbed his wrist, "Yes, you know how to protect yourself!"

Duan Zheng probably wouldn't have believed these words in the past, but since Rong Zhuo told him last time that there was nothing between him and Qingyu, Duan Zheng's view of his little cousin has changed.

Especially after he observed carefully, he found that when Rong Zhuo and Qingyu get along, they really have a sense of distance, and there is no stickiness that should exist between lovers.

So when Rong Zhuo said that he had nothing to do with Yu Jingdu, he believed it.

"That's right!" Duan Zheng said to Rong Zhuo: "You are smart, otherwise if something happened to him at the border and left you behind, what would you do?"

"What does it have to do with this?" Rong Zhuo asked.

"Of course!" Duan Zheng said with a serious face: "Have you heard of the one-night couple Baiyeen? It is said that there is a real relationship between husband and wife. Once two people reach that step, the bond will be deep and difficult to break. Yes! But before that step, it will be much easier..."

Rong Zhuo was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but frowned.

He had never thought about this question before, but after hearing Duan Zheng's analysis, it seemed quite reasonable.

If not, why would he be so obsessed with Yu Jingdu taking the initiative before going into battle?

Just because, in his subconscious mind, he decided it would bring them closer than before.

If Yu Jingdu thought the same way, then the other party's refusal last night was to avoid a deeper bond with him?

Otherwise, Rong Zhuo really couldn't think of any other reason for Yu Jingdu to reject him.

Rong Zhuo felt that Duan Zheng's analysis made sense, but at the same time found it unbelievable.

After all, Yu Jingdu is such a smart person, how could he fall into Duan Zheng's simple and crude logic?

With such doubts, Rong Zhuo went straight to the Prince's Mansion in the afternoon of that day.

Now, because of his cooperation with the Ministry of Household Affairs, he has an excuse to look for Yu Jingdu openly, so he doesn't have to be so shy occasionally.

Yu Jingdu was discussing matters with someone, obviously did not expect Rong Zhuo to come, and was very surprised when he heard someone came to inform him.

"Young Master Rong said that he will leave after a few words with you, and he will never waste too much time for His Highness." The person who sent the message said.

Yu Jingdu originally wanted to quickly put an end to the matter here, and then go to see Rong Zhuo in a down-to-earth manner, but after hearing what the concierge said, he didn't dare to delay any longer, he just said to let the person discussing matters wait first, and hurried away lobby.

"Did something happen?" Yu Jingdu hurriedly asked after seeing the person.

"Yu Jingdu." Rong Zhuo was still smelling of alcohol, he looked at Yu Jingdu and said, "I'll just ask you the reason once, don't lie to me."

Yu Jingdu knew what he was talking about when he heard the words, "I can't explain this matter in one or two sentences, can you..."

"If you don't say anything, I'll leave." Rong Zhuo said.

"Xiao Zhuo." Yu Jingdu grabbed his wrist with a very tangled expression.

After a long while, he said: "That day I had a dream, dreaming that I... died in battle."

Rong Zhuo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and immediately regretted coming to Yu Jingdu.

He should have guessed that the reason would not make people too comfortable, but he didn't expect it to be such an opening statement.

"I used to have dreams like this, but I've never been afraid, because I know that it doesn't matter whether I live or die, and no one is waiting for me to go back." Yu Jingdu raised his hand and slowly stroked his reddened face. "But that night I dreamed that after I died, you were waiting for me in the capital... for a long time."

Yu Jingdu's heart was broken in that dream, because he watched Rong Zhuo wait from a teenager to gray-haired, until he left this world, but he couldn't wait for him.

It's not that Yu Jingdu didn't think about such an extreme situation before, he was a very possessive person, he even thought selfishly, even if he died, he didn't want the boy to forget him.So for a long time in the past, he tried his best to please Rong Zhuo, wishing to integrate himself into Rong Zhuo's life bit by bit through those kisses and intimacy.

In this way, whether he lives or dies, the boy will always remember him.

But it was at that moment that he realized that this was not what he wanted.

When he looked at Rong Zhuo in his dream waiting for him unwilling to forget him, he only felt distressed and regretful.

He thought, he shouldn't have left so many memories and ties to Rong Zhuo.

What if he really can't come back alive?

What should Rong Zhuo do?

"You don't think I can forget you if you don't touch me?" Rong Zhuo said, "Or do you think that as long as I don't behave like me, I'm still innocent and I can find someone else?"

Yu Jingdu's heart ached, "Xiao Zhuo, I'm not..."

Rong Zhuo withdrew his wrist from his hand, "I'm going to the Zhuangzi today, and I won't be returning tonight. Don't go looking for me, lest you leave too much bondage with me and make you feel guilty."

After Rong Zhuo finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the front hall.

Yu Jingdu was about to hold him back, but saw two people coming out from the corner of the corridor, they were the same people who had discussed with him before, and he presumably took this opportunity to come out to breathe.

After such a moment of hesitation, Rong Zhuo has already walked away.

Yu Jingdu's pursuit at this time will definitely arouse suspicion, so he can only hold back.

But in the end he was a little worried, and specially asked Li Feng to send someone to follow Rong Zhuo.

Rong Zhuo didn't lie to him, and went to Zhuangzi after leaving the Prince's Mansion.

But Rong Zhuo's move was not to set fire to Yu Jingdu.

He is not angry at all, even if he is really angry, as long as someone coaxes him to calm down quickly.

What's more, Yu Jingdu's explanation is really not outrageous, and it even moved him a little.

For a rational person like Yu Jingdu, it stands to reason that he really shouldn't have such an idea.

Even in Rong Zhuo's view, he would feel that the other party's idea is too unreasonable.

But precisely because of this, it confirms the phrase "care leads to chaos".

Because he cared too much about Rong Zhuo, Yu Jingdu made such a low-level mistake, being confused by a dream.

When facing the emperor, he can be so rational that it is almost terrifying. Not only can he be exhaustive, but he can also predict the opponent's every move and give the most appropriate response at the right time.

But when facing Rong Zhuo, he often made mistakes in judgment.

Thinking of Yu Jingdu's dream, Rong Zhuo couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

For a moment, he suddenly understood Yu Jingdu's mood.

When he watched certain film and television dramas in the past, he often saw such plots.

A character tells another character to marry him when he gets back.

But the audience knows that [-]% of the characters who say such things will never come back.

Then there will be many viewers who feel regretful, thinking that it would be nice if they got married early.

But the person who couldn't come back didn't necessarily think so.

He would lie to himself, fortunately he didn't get married early, otherwise he would delay the other party for the rest of his life.

Little do they know that what delays the other party may not be the matter of getting married or not, but that the person who made the appointment has lost the appointment forever.

It's hard to judge right from wrong in this kind of thing.

It's just that everyone expresses love differently.

Rong Zhuo didn't quite agree with Yu Jingdu's idea, but he would not deny the other party's intention because of this.

Just like what he did, it may not always be in line with Yu Jingdu's vision, but the other party will still support and tolerate him.

After figuring this out, Rong Zhuo decided to only stay in Zhuangzi for one night and return to the capital the next day.

Yu Jingdu will be leaving soon, he doesn't want to spend too much time getting into trouble with the other party on this kind of matter.

However, Yu Jingdu didn't wait for him to return to the capital at all.

That night, when Rong Zhuo had just finished taking a bath and was about to rest, Yu Jingdu appeared in Zhuangzi.

"Didn't I tell you not to follow?" Rong Zhuo frowned.

"The departure time has been advanced." Yu Jingdu said, "I'm leaving Beijing tomorrow."

Rong Zhuo was taken aback, his eyes immediately turned red.

He looked at Yu Jingdu and remained silent for a while.

"How could it be so sudden?" Rong Zhuo said, "Didn't it be a few days before we agreed?"

"In the current situation, if I stay in the capital for one more day, I may miss the opportunity of the battle. In fact, when you went to see me today, we discussed this matter." Yu Jingdu stepped forward and hugged Rong Zhuo, " Forgive me Xiaozhuo, I shouldn't treat you like this because of an inexplicable nightmare. You don't know, I have been thinking about it all this time..."

"I know." Rong Zhuo hugged him back and said, "I've always known."

"What I should do is to protect myself and bring myself back safely, not..."

"Don't say it!" Rong Zhuo interrupted him: "Don't say such things before going out, it's unlucky."

Yu Jingdu slowly backed away a little, leaned over and kissed him on the lips, "I think, I shouldn't be afraid of anything, knowing that you will wait for me, I will cherish myself more."

"I told you, don't say such things." Rong Zhuo said slightly reproachfully.

"When I first joined the Northern Army, General Chang told me that you must not be afraid on the battlefield. Once you are afraid, the enemy's swords, guns, swords and halberds will come to you. So I have never been afraid before. I thought I would be afraid all my life. I won't be afraid... I didn't dare to confess to you before, because I didn't want you to know that I was also afraid."

"I won't laugh at you, and I will also be afraid of being separated from you for too long." Rong Zhuo put his arms around his neck, "Yu Jingdu, I don't want you to go."

"I know, but I can only promise you not to leave tonight." Yu Jingdu leaned into his ear and said, "Give me a chance to make up for the stupid thing I did last night, okay?"

Rong Zhuo blushed, "But I..."

"I have prepared things, and I have done my homework in advance."

"then you……"

"Don't worry, I promise to be gentle."
