Jiang Zhen'er closed her eyes and meditated for a while, then opened her eyes with a deep look. After a while, she said, "Go, make some sweets for His Highness, and take a look at how he is doing."

"yes."

The maid understood Jiang Zhen'er's intention clearly. The gift was fake, but the situation in the king's palace was found to be true.

Jiang Zhen'er did not step out of the palace for several days, but her maids and eunuchs were still able to come and go freely without restrictions.

Probably because he was a little bored in being locked up, Jiang Zhen'er was both bored and always felt a little uneasy. She frowned and looked up at a branch of flowers sticking out of the house.

The small light yellow rice flowers bloom in clusters and are lush and soft and warm in color. They were her favorite flowers when she was young.

Jiang Zhen'er was lost for a moment, lowered her eyelids, and stretched out her hand to push the flower branch out of the window. The things she once liked were no longer suitable for her now.

…

Mr. Qingxi and his party drove slowly towards Xun County in a carriage. From the moment they left the royal capital, Xiao Ying knew that Xiao Jiu was really going to send her away.

"My sister-in-law, you haven't eaten or drank for two days, what do you want to do?"

Oxfam, one with two heads and two heads, squatted in front of the tied Xiao Ying in a miserable manner, talking even though Xiao Ying fucked him without moving her mouth.

The two looked at each other, Xiao Ying: "I want to go back to find my brother Xiaojiu!"

Oxfam looked up to the sky and sighed, Xiao Ying kept saying this, she was not tired of saying it, and Oxfam was tired of hearing it.

"He is staying in the royal capital as an official, why do you have to follow him?"

Xiao Ying said angrily: "If he becomes his official, why can't I stay by his side?"

She had never interfered with Xiao Jiu's business, and she thought she was very good, but she couldn't figure out why Xiao Jiu had to send her back to Xun County?

Well...

Having stayed in the royal capital for so long, Oxfam was not as ignorant as when he first arrived, and he somewhat understood Xiao Jiu's situation.

He explained, "The situation in the DPRK is tense now. It will be inconvenient for you to stay with my junior brother. He is now a member of the Third Young Master faction. In the future, there will be less fights between the DPRK and the DPRK and he will have to make enemies. He is also afraid that you will be targeted by others if you stay by his side, and he will be against you."

unfavorable."

"Then I will leave you to the teacher's care. This will be good for both of you."

Xiao Ying was silent. She knew in her heart that what Oxfam said made sense, but she couldn't accept it emotionally.

"I'm not afraid of danger..."

Oxfam: "But my junior brother is afraid!"

He spoke with rare righteousness and looked serious, "He only has you as his sister. You don't know how important he is to you."

"If something happens to you, the most painful thing will be for your two brothers."

Seeing that the corners of Xiao Ying's eyes were red and she was holding her neck and refusing to lower her head, Oxfam sighed and touched Xiao Ying's head to comfort her. "Ying'er, my junior brother and your eldest brother are both destined to make great achievements in the future.

I may stay with you for the rest of my life. You are also a big girl. You have been smart and sensible since you were a child, and it is time for you to learn to grow up alone without the protection of your brother."

Xiao Ying was silent, with her head hanging down and her expression lost.

After a while, I heard her ask, "Where's Brother Le'a? Don't you also have brothers and sisters? I rarely hear you mention them."

Well...this is it.

Oxfam thought for a while and replied: "It's not always like this. When I was your age, I loved to cling to my brother, but he was a few years older than me, so we couldn't play together."

In fact, it's not that we can't play together, it's that his brother's daily life is different from his. When he was young, his brother studied business with his father so that he could shoulder the burden of the family in the future, but Oxfam was different.

People have much less expectations for him. It would be great if he could become a small official and become an official. They don't expect him to get ahead. After all, the results of Oxfam's many years of study are there, and people really can't expect him to.

"What now? You don't want to be with them when you grow up?"

Xiao Ying asked with her round eyes open. There was curiosity, confusion, and a lot of confusion in her eyes.

Oxfam scratched his head and met the girl's clear and doubtful gaze. For some reason, he subconsciously avoided his eyes and turned his head away, "Yes, I have grown up and am already an adult."

"Can't we stick together anymore when we grow up?" Xiao Ying asked.

"That's not the case." Lexi paused and continued, "It's just that I have my own things to do, and he has his. We no longer only have parents and relatives in our eyes, and we know more and more people, and we have more and more people with them.

We will spend less and less time together.”

Because each other is no longer the only one they see, they come into contact with different people and things, there are too many things to face, and too little time left for each other, so naturally they have less contact.

"But we are still brothers." Oxfam said, his tone firm and unquestionable.

"The same is true between you and your two brothers. In the future, they will get married and start a business, and you will also have a family of your own."

Xiao Ying opened her eyes wide and froze, a little at a loss, and seemed to be in a daze, with a blank look on her face.

Oxfam did not expect that the day after she had a heart-to-heart chat with Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying disappeared!

She ran away!

Even thinking with her toes, she must have gone back to Shangchun to find Xiao Jiu!

"Ouch! This girl!"

Oxfam looked at the empty carriage and wished he could throw down the empty rice bowl on the ground to relieve his anger. He never thought that Xiao Ying would carry a sharp weapon with him.

Look at the neat scratches on the cut rope. Either a knife or a dagger was used.

He waited until he was about to leave Wang Jing's territory before escaping. It was difficult for Xiao Ying to pretend for so many days, just to make them relax their vigilance.

Lexi laughed angrily, but Mr. Qingxi also had a headache and felt helpless, so the group had to turn around and go back to find Xiao Ying.

I just hope that she can have a safe journey until spring, and that nothing unexpected happens along the way. Everyone is worried.

Here, Xiao Jiu still knows nothing about Xiao Ying's escape, and he is still trying to find a way to meet Zhou Wuping secretly.

"who?!"

In the middle of the night, Zhou Wuping was about to take off his clothes and go to sleep, when he suddenly saw a black figure behind the gauze curtain in the inner room.

He was about to call someone, but when he saw the face of the man who walked out clearly, his voice suddenly got stuck in his throat.

"Ajiu..."

He called out absently, and Zhou Wuping's expression suddenly turned cold. He turned sideways with a complicated look on his face, as if he didn't even want to look at Xiao Jiu.

"Xiao Jiu, why are you here?"

The cold attitude is visible to the naked eye.

Xiao Jiu sighed, lifted up the hem of his clothes and knelt down in front of Zhou Wuping, and said slowly: "I know that Your Highness is angry that I defected to the Third Young Master and betrayed His Highness and Fourth Young Master. However, I have my own reasons for doing this. I hope that Your Highness will do the same."

Listen to me."

Even though he was angry, Zhou Wuping thought about it for a while and finally agreed.

"you say."

"I also want to know, in your eyes, can a mere superior position really compare to the friendship between you and me?"

Zhou Wuping said sadly that no one knew how shocked he was when he heard that Xiao Jiu betrayed Zhou Wuxi and took refuge with Zhou Wuhun.
