Chapter 206
Because of the heavy snowfall, which slowed down the already anxious journey, the ground was prone to ice in such weather, and even the horses could easily slip when walking on it, so they walked very slowly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They didn't say anything, but they all had the same mood - eagerness. Zhu was sick because of Zhu Xu, and Zhu Xu couldn't escape from here faster, so they all looked at the falling snow in front of them, tightened their brows, and even their eyes were full of such moods, even if it was like this, what could they do? They don't have the ability to tell the heavens what to do, and the only way is to wait, put their hearts down, so that time will not seem so difficult.
The itinerary, which was supposed to arrive in half a month, was delayed for a month, and when he arrived at the door of the divine doctor's house, Zhu Zhao's tense face seemed to be a little relaxed. He didn't rush to visit, but asked people to send a few altars he brought to the mansion for a long time, and handed over the post, he was actually a little nervous in his heart, because Doctor Zhou had a strange temper, and he used to treat his injuries for the sake of Qian Yun, even if he was a prince, he was just an unknown person there. Such a person is arrogant, no fame and fortune are nothing in his eyes, everything but according to his preferences, although he is willful, but Zhu Zhao appreciates such a bearing, there is nothing in this world that can make him bend his waist, in fact, this is already very successful for a person.
If you are your own master, what are others? Zhu Zhao waited nervously for a day, even Zhu Xu was next to him, he didn't have time to say anything to him, just said: "Fifth brother go to play first, I'm thinking about things, I hope Doctor Zhou will not refuse, if you can cure your illness, the deepest concern in my heart can be put down." ”
Zhu Xu looked at him with a complicated expression and frowned, looking urgent but pretending to be calm, and sighed in his heart, this sixth brother, why should he? Some things are too strong to have a good result, so it is better to go with the flow, he doesn't want to meet this miracle doctor in his heart, because he doesn't want to expose his secret too early, but he doesn't have a better chance to escape now.
In fact, when he knew that they were coming to Tongzhou, he asked Cen Lian to bring the map, and the two studied it for a while, Cen Lian said that her relatives were in Tongzhou, and they had been there once before, but the memory in her mind was already a little blurry, but as long as she wanted to come back with her memory, it was very secluded, there were few families in a village, and those who were able to move away, and the government would not care about such a place, so it was very safe.
Zhu Xu returned to the house and looked at the nervous Cen Lian, touched her hair funny, and soothed: "Don't think too much, and don't show it on your face, what if you let people see it?" It's better to be natural, remember to hide deeply, our chances are great. Cen Lian, there is only one last step left, don't fall short. If that miracle doctor agrees to heal me, then our chances of victory will still increase dramatically. ”
Cen Lian didn't understand, but she knew that she was not afraid of anything as long as she followed him, so she nodded seriously, she took a basin of cold water, endured the biting coldness and buried her face in it, in order to make herself better adapted, Zhu Xu was right, she couldn't let her anxiety reveal the flaws in this matter.
As long as you escape, there will be no Zhu Xu and Cen Lian in this world in the future, there are just two people who hug each other to keep each other warm, and they support each other to live well again, so that they can work hard every day to be happy and happy.
So that's it, she smiled at Zhu Xu, looking at the man in front of her, her heart was inexplicably calm, and nothing could make her feel satisfied like such a person.
Zhu Zhao's difficult wait finally ended when someone said that Doctor Zhou was willing to treat the fifth prince, and his heart was irrepressible with joy and satisfaction, and it would be good to wait for the fifth brother to get better. Without saying a word, he hurried to Zhu Xu's room, smiling like a child: "Five, let's go to Doctor Zhou's house to visit now, I also hope that you will get well soon, so that I can rest assured." Pack up, let's get over it. ”
Zhu Xu and Cen Lian have already discussed, and when they see that they are almost the ones they bring in their baggage, they don't want to bring trouble to themselves, even if they want, they have to think of other ways, after all, they are too conspicuous on their bodies.
Zhu Zhao looked at the old man sitting and drinking tea in front of him, and said with a smile: "Doctor Zhou, when you were in Yunnan, how did you live?" ”
Doctor Zhou raised his eyes to look at him and said with a smile: "You don't need to be so polite to me, I have to treat the person who can make Qian Yunya hang on to my heart, if I let her know that I am not good to her husband, I may not be able to annoy me in the future." Also, if you are willing to give us the identity of Yun Yatou, my door here must be opened, and you can't stop closing the door. ”
Zhu Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, quickly pushed his brother over, and said with a smile: "Doctor Zhou helped my brother take a look, he was still very awake before he was five years old, I don't know why he suddenly said hell, it has been like this for so many years, and he has never had a good time, begging the doctor to help my brother cure this disease, Zhu Zhao is grateful." ”
The doctor's eyes have always been fierce and vicious, but after glancing at Zhu Xu, he smiled and said, "It's just that I don't want to come out." He admired this young man a little, his face remained unchanged when facing him, and his talking eyes made him look interesting, but suddenly he seemed to see a vague shadow, so familiar and kind, his throat moved, and he quickly smiled: "Don't worry, the sixth prince, let him stay with me first, I will talk to him, so that I can grasp the condition." ”
Zhu Zhao did not doubt that he had him, and hurriedly responded: "Then it will trouble Doctor Zhou, I can rest assured that the fifth brother will stay with you, this person next to him is the one who has been taking care of him, then I will leave first." ”
Doctor Zhou smiled faintly, and after the others left, he looked at the person in front of him and asked leisurely, "Do you recognize Gu Sanniang?" I know you're sober, so don't hide it from me, tell me. You don't want your brother to know about you cheating on him, do you?"
Zhu Xu pursed his lips and smiled, and said lightly: "It's my mother, I died when I was four years old, what are you asking for?" ”
Doctor Zhou shook his head sadly: "He still resents me after all, she has always followed your grandmother's surname, and she doesn't want to recognize me as a father, I have been looking for her for so many years, but I don't want her to enter the palace, I have always hoped to see her again, but what I didn't expect was ...... Our father and daughter have never been close to each other, and it was my persistence that hurt their mother and daughter at the beginning, and I can't forgive myself now. I'll just say how can I see a familiar shadow from you, it turns out that it's because of this, whether you've heard of me or not, I'm your grandfather. Child, how much have you been wronged, how can you be so thin? ”
Zhu Xu sneered: "The prince who has no protection, is locked up in the cold palace, what else can he ask for?" I survived to survive, so what else could I ask for? Being alive is already the most luxurious thing for me, and if I let people know that I can't live now, grandpa, what do you say? ”
Doctor Zhou's expression immediately became excited, although he regretted the death of his daughter, this daughter was full of rebellion, always didn't let her do anything, she didn't want to look back to do it, he really didn't expect to end up with his life in the palace like the deep sea, but the only thing he was glad that he could still see his grandson, maybe this was a favor from God to him, so that when he was about to die, he found that there was a person in the world who was worthy of his care.
He couldn't help but have red eyes, and his face was full of helplessness: "If I had known that you were suffering in the palace, I would have saved you no matter what I thought." ”
Zhu Xu laughed self-deprecatingly: "At the beginning, I naively wanted to send a letter to you outside the palace, but at that time, all my ghost talismans were taken away by the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and I realized that what I thought was too simple, and then I was locked up in the cold palace and completely lost this idea." I heard my mother talk about you, and she said that she regretted his recklessness, and that if she hadn't stubbornly acted according to her stubborn temper, she wouldn't have become like this. At that time, she was desperate to love, but she didn't want to end up like a precious piece of jewelry, but she was not liked, so she was thrown in the corner. ”
The misery on Doctor Zhou's face became more and more serious, if he had known this, he should have stubbornly stopped him, otherwise this family would not have become like this. What else can he say now, this child is his dearest person, but he is now a half-cut person, but he can only gain a foothold in the whole world by relying on a few skills, but what can he do now, how can he seek a future for this child? He closed his eyes in despair, he couldn't catch up, and now that all the powerful positions in the capital have been robbed, what else can this child have? There was nothing left, and his heart once again flooded with a deep sense of helplessness.
"What do you want me to do for you?"
The smile on Zhu Xu's face never subsided, and he nodded: "I want to leave here, so that everyone can't find us, I just want to live this life quietly, and the rest of the clouds can't leave any traces in my heart." The only thing I can count on is you, so please help me. ”
Doctor Zhou gritted his teeth: "Cheng, then listen to you, I will help you arrange it, few people in this world know about the relationship between you and me, as long as you can't suspect me, all this will not be discovered." ”
Zhu Xu nodded: "Since this is the case, then I can rest assured, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see each other in the future, so I will stop here." It's the first time we've met, and even I feel very fake, so I'm glad you can help me, I don't doubt disturb your life, but I'm not going to be able to do anything about being forced to this point, and I'm also helpless about the trouble caused to you, I just hope you can forget about it, or be your free doctor, so that I don't have to feel guilty about my mother. ”
Doctor Zhou smiled sadly, in fact, although this child's words are not good, but the reason is very clear, it is already very happy to be able to meet the person closest to him before he wants to leave this world, as long as he sees him doing well, it is the best compensation for his wife and daughter. In fact, he hated it in his heart, but he hated that his life was not good, God gave him something that everyone envied, but he took away the most basic ethical happiness of people, why should he do this? Why?
Things are arranged very simply, after all, Tongzhou is where he has been staying for many years, and he knows what to do, so this kind of thing is not difficult for him. It didn't take long to arrange it in secret, they are all smart people, and they know more about the importance of not revealing flaws, and they also know how to not show flaws.
The house where Zhu Xu and Cen Lian live is in the farthest place, although there are people guarding it in front of the door, but fortunately, there is a dark window in the place where no one knows, so it is also more convenient for the people of the Zhou family to operate, Zhu Xu went down the rope that was thrown, and gave Cen Lian next, and the carriage was ready, so they ran non-stop to the mountain where no one was.
The feeling of finally breaking out of the complicated world is so exciting, those shackles and pain have disappeared, and he will only live for himself in the days to come, let alone worry about those troublesome things. It would be nice to be able to hide like this for the rest of your life.
Cen Lian excitedly grabbed Zhu Xu's hand and said: "I always feel that people in the future will say that I abducted you, but even so, I am still not afraid, Ah Xu, I have loved you for so many years, I never thought that I could live with you in the future, this feeling is like a dream, if it is really a dream, I just want me to never wake up." ”
Zhu Xu touched her hair lovingly and smiled: "My silly girl, do you know? I never thought that you, a weak person, would cover up those injuries for me, and no one has ever loved me like you, and I understood at that time that because it was you, I didn't care what I could do, as long as I could leave, I would definitely take you with me. Fortunately, God heard my plea, so it's really good, I'm really happy, I can live in this world like an ordinary person, and I can be with you until I am old. ”
All that could be heard outside was the roaring sound of the night wind, which was a little poignant and frightening, but the hearts of the two of them were close to each other, and they were not disturbed by the slightest. It seems that everything in this world does not exist anymore, only this sense of closeness, and there is no longer half a gap between each other's hearts.
The carriage did not stop all night, and did not stop until it came to a relatively secluded place, and the man who looked like a housekeeper said: "Little boy, this is what my master asked me to leave to you, if there are any difficulties in the future, you must not hold it in your heart, only he will not harm you in this world, and he will really put you in my heart." Don't act on your own, because it is very likely to attract others, and if you are discovered, you are afraid of ......"
Zhu Xu nodded and said: "I understand if he doesn't say this kind of thing, you go back and tell him not to worry, try to live as long as possible, and when the separation is over, I will go back to see him." ”
The housekeeper smiled and nodded: "There is no vain love for you, there are all necessary things to eat and drink for daily use, and then go down the mountain to sell things after this while." The courtyard above used to be repaired by the old man who wanted to be clean, not many people knew, and there was no one next to it, and there was an old couple there who could take care of your life. ”
Zhu Xu responded: "Go back quickly, don't let people see it, if there is anything, I will let people pass the message down the mountain." ”
Since then, everything in the world and those things in the court will not be anything to do with him at all, even those people in the imperial city who should be the closest have become a smoke that cannot be grasped, as if it never existed. Maybe it's because I'm used to not being cared about, and I'm used to being alone, so when I think of these things, I don't have any other feelings. In fact, sometimes he feels that Zhu Zhao's life is much better than his own, at least his mother occupies an important position in his father's heart, no matter what kind of expression or small illness he can worry about, and his poor mother, no matter how sick she is, has never seen the emperor come to see her. At that time, he couldn't understand that his mother said that his father was the coolest person in the world, and only now did he understand that his mother might be sad that she loved this man, but she couldn't go to his heart, because he didn't care, so his expectations and longing could not be conveyed to his side, so that in the end he lost his life.
Zhu Xu knew that she just didn't want to live anymore, because she was a healer, and she knew better than anyone that her illness was not incurable, but that she cared too much about that person in her heart, so she couldn't wait for someone to come in her long-term anticipation, and her mood was gloomy for a while, and she still threw him down ruthlessly despite his crying. When she was favored, she had provoked a lot of people, she always thought that she would be the most loved person in the heart of the ruthless emperor, but she didn't want to see anyone in his eyes since Zhu Zhao's mother appeared, that woman got the feelings she had been looking forward to for a long time, she was jealous and remorseful, all kinds of emotions were flowing in her heart, what could he do? He was just a child, and his thousands of pleas couldn't make that ruthless woman live for himself, and in the end all he could rely on was Zhu Zhao.
They are also children who have been abandoned by their mothers, what can they do? He used to think that this was good, but when those people saw that he had no protection, they hated him so much that they wanted him to die too, these people were very vicious, but he didn't even have the strength to resist, and no one could understand the despair and heartache at that time.
He thought about it for a long time, but suddenly found that there was no one he could ask for help, he believed in Zhu Zhao, but he was younger than himself, and he had never experienced this kind of thing, so he chose to grit his teeth and hold it down alone, if he died like this, then it would not be a bad ending for him, it was much better than being tortured to death, but what he couldn't accept was ...... No one else can live well in this world, and he has to face such a fate? Why did God do this to him? Why did he have to be put in such a humble position? At that time, he curled up, looking frightened, but all he had in his heart was hatred, hatred for that man, wasn't he his son? Why can't even he have a little sympathy for himself at this time? Why is this happening? Why exactly? Is this how the emperor is cold-blooded? His heart was like being pierced by a dense needle, and the pain made him feel different.
It's good to leave, you don't have to feel pain and sadness anymore, that's good, from now on this is a new beginning, here is only all the joy and joy that belongs to him and Cen Lian, maybe there will be his children in the future, he doesn't want him to touch too much money and power, it's good to live peacefully like this.
Cen Lian looked at the casual smile on his face, and her heart also brightened, so good, seeing that the person she loves can be happy, her heart is also warm and happy.
And Zhu Zhao, who usually came to wake Zhu Xu up, when he saw the empty room and the big open window, the whole person suddenly froze there, the fifth brother ...... Could it be that someone has taken it away? Otherwise, why did it become like this, what did those people outside do to eat?
Those people were so frightened that they didn't dare to move when the eyes of the five princes swept over, they really didn't hear anything last night, who had thought that the good people disappeared without realizing it, the emperor told them to protect the safety of the two princes, and now they have made such a mistake, and they are afraid that they will be punished when they go back this time, they quickly knelt on the ground and said bitterly: "Ask Your Highness to atone for your sins, and the slave will hurry up to find it." ”
Zhu Zhao really didn't expect a good person to disappear like this, and he didn't know where the person went, if something happened to the fifth brother, he couldn't forgive himself in his life, and his only way would be to let people look around, even if it was to turn the entire Tongzhou Chengdu upside down, he would have to find someone.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that no matter how hard he tried to find it, the person seemed to evaporate, no matter how he looked for it, he couldn't find a trace, he didn't know how to say such a feeling, he never thought that the brotherhood between them was so fragile, just when he was expecting the fifth brother to remember him again, he disappeared.
Was this incident destined to become a lingering regret in his heart?
Waves of people came and went, and all they told him was that there was no trace of the Five Princes, where could people run in a short period of time?
Could it be that he is already out of town?
No matter how much he thought and guessed, he spent all his strength, and he didn't see anyone.
