Zhong Yuxi held the phone and watched the screen dimming little by little. She bit her lip and felt a slight ache in her heart.
Where did he go? There was no news all night. She called Liu Jin and asked Liu Jin indirectly. Liu Jin said that he didn't return to Yangxin Hall, didn't answer his cell phone, and didn't reply to text messages. She was really worried.
Neither of them has any experience in falling in love, so when something like this happens suddenly, his method is to escape. He is used to lurking in the darkness and wrapping himself up in thick shells. The result is that he sinks deeper and deeper.
Gradually it became one with the darkness, and in the end it was impossible to tell which one was him.
Zhong Yuxi put the phone aside and asked him to calm down. If he couldn't get out of this dark zone on his own, no one could help him.
After two days, Father Zhong's health was no longer serious. As long as he paid attention to his diet, he would not do it again. Zhong Yuxi told him again and again, and he nodded and said okay, okay.
The room was filled with supplements sent by Xuanyuan Ye, many of which were precious medicinal materials. They were gifts brought by heads of state from other countries when they came to visit. She had to admit that his thoughts were very delicate.
"Oh my, Xiaoye is such a good boy. Are you going to make me, an old man, suffer from overnutrition?"
"Old monster, stop being so pretty, these things have to be sent back."
"Ah?" Father Zhong hugged one of them with great reluctance: "Can't you keep one?"
Zhong Yuxi nodded firmly, "No."
At this time, she couldn't collect Xuanyuan Ye's things. She didn't want the misunderstanding to escalate further, so she repacked these things one by one and found a car to take them back.
And she got up to find Ye Di.
She was looking for him not only to warn him, but more importantly, she felt that he seemed to know something crucial that she didn't know. For example, was he from Yingguo? Why was he so concerned about her affairs?
Also, what is the relationship between him and Xiaofeng?
There were many mysteries, she felt, if it were him, they would definitely be solved.
According to the address on the silver card, she found the place that Ye Di mentioned. It was a single-family two-story courtyard, hidden behind a large building. There were many houses of this structure around, layer upon layer.
.
The front and back of his house are covered with cherry blossom trees. The cherry blossoms have just passed the season of falling flowers, and the ground is still covered with ruined flower soil.
Seeing cherry blossoms, she felt inexplicably familiar with them, because His Majesty the King liked them, and she seemed to like them too.
I walked up and knocked on the iron gate of the yard. After a long time, a man who looked like a butler in his fifties came to open the door.
He spoke the authentic Yingguo language, had a very humble attitude, and asked her who she was looking for.
Zhong Yuxi nodded to him and said hello. She suddenly didn't know how to ask. Ye Di was just his nickname, but she... didn't know his real name.
Seeing the suspicion in the man's eyes, she immediately took out the card and said she was looking for the owner of the card.
"Master?" The man frowned: "Master, he is not here. He just went to Yingguo yesterday."
The young master he was talking about might be Emperor Ye. Zhong Yuxi hurriedly asked: "Then did he say when he would come back?"
The man shook his head: "The young master likes freedom and never plans time, so he comes back when he wants to."
"Then may I ask, is he from Yingguo?"
The man looked at her warily and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I have no comment."|
Zhong Yuxi didn't ask anything, so she had no choice but to go back in dismay.
Just when there was a call from the palace, saying that His Majesty had signs of fever in the morning, she quickly packed her things and hurried back.
The royal doctor has already visited me and prescribed some medicine.
When the king saw her trotting in sweating, he couldn't help but laugh and said to Mu Nan beside him: "Mu Nan, look at Yu Xi, is there anyone chasing her behind?"
Mu Nan, the general steward and deacon, smiled and warned her: "Be careful."
She stuck out her tongue playfully.
"Your Majesty, your health is not good, why are you still working?" She frowned and pushed aside the workbook in front of him. Apart from her, few people in the entire palace dared to change what the king wanted to do without authorization.
However, the king's love for her only deepened day by day.
"Okay, okay, if Yu Xi loses her temper, I, an old man, will not dare to work anymore."
Zhong Yuxi smiled and patted his shoulders, "You have to balance work and rest."
"Well." The king took a sip of tea and sighed: "It seems that I am about to abdicate. These things should be left to the younger generations."
Just this simple sentence undoubtedly added fuel to the turmoil outside. Even Mu Nan on the side changed his face. If the king is going to abdicate, then the fight for the prince will become more intense. What will follow is another one.
He couldn't imagine what kind of bloody storm it would be.
Zhong Yuxi couldn't help but slow down the hand that hit him on the shoulder. Two shadows quickly passed through her mind. What would the two of them do if they knew the news? Maybe they wanted to get rid of each other faster.
She didn't want to see that day, no matter which side failed, she didn't want to see it. She couldn't predict the future, but she couldn't bear such an ending.
"Your Majesty, you are still young, and the princes are all relying on you." Zhong Yuxi could only say this.
"Yes, your Majesty has always been supported by his subjects, and the hope of this country is pinned on you." Mu Nan also hurriedly followed Zhong Yuxi to persuade.
The king smiled and put down the tea cup in his hand, "It's not enough to be dissatisfied. Today's young people are all very motivated. Compared with them, I can hardly keep up."
Zhong Yuxi and Mu Nan looked at each other with solemn expressions.
After coming out of Cuihua Palace, I happened to meet several princes coming to see His Majesty. Xuanyuan Ye was walking in front. When he saw Zhong Yuxi, he smiled, walked up and asked, "How is Your Majesty's health?"
Zhong Yuxi saluted him respectfully: "I just had a fever, and it has gone away now."
"As long as it's okay." He nodded: "Just go and get busy."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
She lowered her head and stepped aside, waiting for a few of them to pass by. Although she lowered her head, her eyes still glanced at Xiaofeng beside the prince intentionally. He glanced at her, and their eyes met in the air. She seemed to be electrocuted.
He quickly lowered his head again.
From that day to now, they haven't spoken for three days. She didn't know if he was still angry. If not, why didn't he come to her? She felt depressed and uncomfortable and pouted.
"Hey, Zhong Yuxi, you can hang an oil bottle from your mouth." Liu Jin said jokingly as he passed by her.
Zhong Yuxi rolled her eyes at him fiercely, and he winked at her.
"Lao Liu." The third highness later caught up with Xiaofeng in front of him and asked with half surprise and half surprise: "I heard that the mayor of Thousand Island Kingdom brought his daughter to the palace to propose marriage. Is this really true?"
Say goodbye?
Zhong Yuxi suddenly raised her head and looked at him.
