"Your Majesty, Miss hasn't eaten for two days, if it goes on like this, Miss's body will not be able to stand it, you can persuade Miss!" The maidservant Liu Er said to Zhu Ci, who had just walked in.

Chen Xiuxiu has been sitting on the bed in a daze since she buried Chen Xin, the whole person is in a state of chaos, and she has not eaten a grain of rice for two days and two nights, even if she buried Chen Xin for a few days, she didn't eat a few bites, and Chen Xiuxiu has not been hungry until now, which is a big miracle.

Zhu Ci sighed and walked in.

Seeing Chen Xiuxiu like this, Zhu Ci was also quite heartbroken.

"Miss Xiuxiu, the deceased is gone, I believe that Chen Lao does not want to see you go on like this, in order for Chen Lao to rest in peace, you don't hold back your sadness in your heart anymore, you will suffocate yourself, if you want to vent, vent it, don't get along with your body." Zhu Ci staggered open his mouth, and finally only said this sentence.

He also regretted Chen Xin's death, and Chen Xiuxiu's appearance made him even more depressed.

Intellectually, Zhu Ci hesitated to hope that Chen Xiuxiu could cheer up, after all, the Firearms Bureau was missing Chen Xin, and if there was one less Chen Xiuxiu, the loss would be too great.

Seeing that Chen Xiuxiu was the same as two days ago, there was no reaction, Zhu Ci sighed, walked up, hugged Chen Xiuxiu into his arms, and let her head rest on his chest.

"Cry, just cry!" In order to let Chen Xiuxiu vent the emotions held in her heart, Zhu Ci didn't mind lending her chest to comfort.

Chen Xiuxiu lost his parents since he was a child, and was brought up by Chen Xin, although Chen Xin was also the head of the Firearms Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, but at that time, because of the emptiness of the treasury, the Firearms Bureau had no funds for many years, Chen Xin's life was very poor, and in order to support the Firearms Bureau from completely falling, he contributed his meager income, and the only few craftsmen in the Firearms Bureau ate a pot of rice, at that time, Chen Xiuxiu still needed someone to take care of him, and Chen Xin couldn't afford to buy or raise slaves, so he always took Chen Xiuxiu with him, Chen Xiuxiu can be said to have grown up with Chen Xin in the director of the firearms manufacturing bureau of the Ministry of Industry, and the tattered guns in the manufacturing bureau are her toys.

Chen Xiuxiu's childhood was almost always in the noise of the manufacturing bureau, without a playmate.

Now the grandfather, who has lost his life, has become an orphan girl with no relatives.

For such Chen Xiuxiu, Zhu Cicheng felt quite pity, of course, there was no love between men and women, it was purely pity for her as a sister.

Leaning on Zhu Ci's chest, Chen Xiuxiu finally cried, and the more she cried, the more she cried, and finally even hugged Zhu Ci with a double reverse, and the tears soaked a large piece of clothes on Zhu Ci's chest.

Zhu Ci smiled, it's good to cry, after crying and sleeping again, I think Chen Xiuxiu will definitely be able to return to her former liveliness.

Since leaning on Zhu Ci's chest and crying that day, Chen Xiuxiu has really returned to normal.

However, it seems that something is different.

At least, Zhu Cicheng found out that Chen Xiuxiu had been very attached to him since that day, and he didn't think about tea and dinner without seeing her for two days.

Zhu Ci couldn't figure it out, but in order to appease Chen Xiuxiu's emotions, he still took time to watch Chen Xiuxiu the next day.

"Your Majesty, you're here!" Finding that Zhu Ci was coming, Chen Xiuxiu's eyebrows and eyes were immediately dyed with a happy smile.

Zhu Cistum also smiled, and suddenly met Chen Xiuxiu's eyes, and Zhu Cistum was immediately stunned again.

His heart jumped suddenly, he seemed to see a different kind of emotion in Chen Xiuxiu's eyes, which he had only seen in the eyes of the queen, Huang Ying and Dong Xiaowan.

This is terrible, Zhu Ci was caught off guard.

In an instant, Zhu Ci made a decision to cut off Chen Xiuxiu's feelings that were still in the bud, and he couldn't let it develop.

It's not that Chen Xiuxiu isn't beautiful enough, it's not that he doesn't like Chen Xiuxiu, it's that his liking for Chen Xiuxiu only stops at brother and sister love, even if he promises Chen Xin to take care of Chen Xiuxiu, he will only take care of her as a sister.

At the same time, it is intellectually not permissible to do anything beyond that step.

He had promised the queen, Huang Ying, Dong Xiaowan and others that in his life, there would be no more than five women, since he had made such a promise, he would definitely abide by it, which might make Chen Xiuxiu sad for a while, but compared to Chen Xiuxiu alone, he didn't want the five women in the harem to be sad together.

didn't chat with Chen Xiuxiu as usual and said something to comfort her.

After only a moment of silence, Zhu Ci smiled at Chen Xiuxiu and said, "Xiuxiu, there is still something in the palace, I will come to see you another day!" After speaking, Zhu Ci turned around and left without hesitation.

Chen Xiuxiu was apprehensive, looking at Zhu Cihe's back, thinking of Zhu Cihe's expression just now, she faintly felt that Zhu Cijiao seemed to have discovered her mind, which made her heart can't help but be grabbed, she was afraid that Zhu Ciji would ignore her in the future.

With all kinds of worries and fears, Chen Xiuxiu sat back on the bed in a daze.

"Miss, how are you?" The maidservant Liu Er walked in, and when she saw Chen Xiuxiu's appearance, she immediately asked worriedly.

"I'm fine!" Chen Xiuxiu smiled reluctantly, how could she say that kind of thing.

After Zhu Ci stumbled back to the palace, he kept thinking about how to deal with Chen Xiuxiu's matter.

Just one day, a holy decree was sent to Chen Xiuxiu.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Chen Xin, the director of the Firearms Bureau, participated in the research and development of various new weapons, worked hard, and was killed by thieves, I am deeply saddened, and his granddaughter Xiuxiu, good character, gentle and virtuous, I like it very much, and I am specially named the royal sister, and give the title: Xiumin County Lord, Qin this!"

This is the only way Zhu Ci can think of, which is to establish the brother-sister relationship between him and Chen Xiuxiu.

The people of the Ming Dynasty regard humanity as extremely important, generally speaking, once the relationship between brother and sister is established, it is impossible to have the love between men and women in this life, Zhu Ci is not only to compensate Chen Xiuxiu, but also to extinguish the sprout in her heart as soon as possible.

"Miss, Miss! The emperor actually named you a royal sister, Lord Xiumin! From now on, Miss, you will be the honorable county lord! The maidservant Liu Er was so excited that she was about to jump up, her young lady became the county lord, then she was the county lord's personal maid, and her identity was immediately higher by countless levels.

Compared with the excitement of the maidservant Liu Er, Chen Xiuxiu was pale, and her lips were about to bite and bleed.

He found out, he really found out, and he didn't accept me! Chen Xiuxiu thought bitterly in her heart.

Royal sister, the so-called royal sister is to let her dispel that kind of thoughts that shouldn't be.

Chen Xiuxiu wanted to cry, and she really cried, crying very sadly, her grandfather died, he didn't want her, she had nothing in this world.

Chen Xiuxiu's crying was almost as tragic as the last time she cried on Zhu Ci's chest.
