289. The Covenant at the Top of the Mountain

"Your Excellency." There was a light call from the nurse on the side, and Zhu Di's robe and black boots appeared in his sight. I don't know if he made a move, the nurse immediately walked away, and then heard him ask, "Don't you hug Yue'er?" ”

It was impossible for me to refuse such a request, so I hurriedly reached over and took the child from his arms, only to find that Yue'er was rarely not asleep, and her big watery eyes were rolling in her bones.

"Looks like you." Zhu Di whispered.

I quickly raised my eyes to look at him, and said, "When children were young, they all looked the same, and their facial features didn't grow." You have several children, and you must have grown up and changed a lot from your childhood. ”

When I gave birth to Yuan'er before, the palace maids around me all said that they looked like Ah Ping, and even Zhu Yuanzhang said that they looked like Ah Ping when he was born, but then he grew up slowly, and one day Ah Ping suddenly said that Yuan'er was actually like me. If you look closely, the eyes and nose are at least five points like me, and the face shape is more like his father.

"Yes." Zhu Di said in a low voice, "Ah Xu is, he looked like his mother when he was a child, but later he looked like me." ”

Hearing him take the initiative to mention Zhu Gaoxu's heart, I don't know why he didn't come this time? Is it that Zhu Di is strict about this trip, and he didn't even tell him? I didn't bother to ask, I just had a lot of speculation in my mind.

Zhu Di proposed to go to the hot springs for a walk, I was stunned at first, and subconsciously turned my head to look at Baimeng, it turned out that there was really a hot spring here. But then shook his head in disagreement, the child is still young, and the misty humidity in the hot spring is too much, which is not good for the baby's respiratory tract. He was stunned after hearing my reason, and asked with some hesitation: "There are so many exquisitenesses?" ”

"It's not that it's exquisite, it's that the child's heart and lungs are too immature when they are born, and they must be protected." With the medical education of the new era, even if I am not a medical professional, I still know some common sense, not to mention that I also have an experience of giving birth, and I still took Xiao Yuan'er out of confinement no matter how irresponsible he was. Strictly speaking, the humidity in the air here is too high, but it's much better than in the hot springs.

didn't want to be silent for a moment, and then Zhu Di suddenly said, "Let's go." ”

I frowned, thinking that he still insisted on going to the hot springs, but I stopped talking, and I planned to let the child stay in the tent and be guarded by the nurse, but before I could open my mouth, I heard him add again: "Send you back to Beijing." ”

Stunned, he looked at him in surprise and inexplicably, and when his eyes met, he saw him tugging at the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly: "I came to Beijing to ask you to verify that matter, if I don't see you, I'm afraid that it will stay in my heart for a long time." It's hard to predict that you just happened to have a baby, as you just said, the environment here is not good for the child and not for you, so it is better to go back to Beijing immediately. ”

I still looked at him hesitantly, not quite believing that it would be so easy to let him go: "Is it...... What's going on in Beijing? ”

Zhu Di smiled and lowered his eyes, "Alan, you still don't believe me." ”

I don't know how to respond to this, in fact, I really don't believe that the purpose of his coming to Beijing is purely to verify whether I am Zhang Yue and whether he is Lu Feng. But after that, he walked the talk.

Ma He brought a carriage and reported to Zhu Di that everything had been arranged. I don't know what I mean, but when I stepped into the carriage with the child in my arms, I saw a soft blanket and a baby basket specially placed. The basket was also covered with a thick mattress, wrapped around the basket, and tied a bell to it.

As soon as I got into the carriage, I put the baby in the basket, which was just the right size, and I couldn't help but be stunned when I raised my eyes. Zhu Di did not follow the carriage, but sat in the driving position, I looked out the window of the car, and found that the people he brought had all mounted the horses one after another, including Ma He and did not wait by the side of the carriage. Is this to let Zhu Di personally drive the carriage?

The reins were pulled, and the carriage started slowly.

His gaze was fixed on the vague outline outside the curtain and gradually drifted away from his thoughts, and there had been such a similar scene in the depths of distant memory. At that time, I didn't know that he was Zhu Di, but I was a person who was remembered by Lu Feng's name by himself, and he forcibly took me away from Ginkgo Village, and he was also driving a carriage outside and sitting inside. I was either angry or angry, and at first I didn't speak to him, just like two worlds across the curtain.

Looking back on the past, the unconsciousness of time disappearing seems to have been more than three years.

The carriage drove as smoothly as possible, and Yue'er fell asleep in the baby basket, he didn't know how hard his birth had gone through a lot of twists and turns, and he didn't know how hard his mother had given birth to him. It will not be displaced, and it will be exhausted.

When the carriage stopped, I was sure that it had not entered the city, and my ears were pricked up to listen to the movement outside, and I suddenly realized that the sound of the horses' hooves, which had been following me, was gone. Lifting the curtain of the carriage window and peeking in, the carriage was empty, and the horses and the men were gone, and the carriage was driven up the hillside.

I couldn't calm down anymore, and asked the figure still in front of me in surprise: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhu Di turned around and paused, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and his gloomy gaze swept over the child in the baby basket, and then fell on my face: "He has spread the search range to within ten miles around the capital, and it is said that he is furious." An uncle and nephew, who used to fight side by side against the enemy Beiyuan, lived and died together, but today it is going to be like fire and water, and the uncle should always see this nephew. ”

I glared at him, "You're crazy! ”

How could he still meet Ah Ping at such a time? Even if he can be brave and invincible on the battlefield, this is within the scope of the capital, not Beiping. Ah Ping will not hesitate to kill because of me, no matter who this person is!

But Zhu Di stared at me for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Alan, I finally saw the concern for me from your eyes." I'm glad you haven't changed your attitude towards me because of the current situation, and maybe you're the only one who won't change. One thing I forgot to tell you is that Ah Xu has not returned to Peking yet, if I don't have a chance to wait......"

His voice abruptly stopped, as the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind the carriage.

At this time, I was stunned in my seat, not because of the sound of horses' hooves that were getting closer and closer, but because Zhu Di said that Zhu Gaochu had not returned to Beiping yet! How is this possible? Could it be that he had a knife wound to his waist at that time...... Fatal?!

No, it's impossible, Zhu Gaoxu in history was not so short-lived, and he would be the first to lead the northern army into the capital. But if he hadn't had an accident, why didn't he return to Beiping? Suddenly, a deep call against my eardrum interrupted my thoughts: "Uncle Wang, don't come unharmed." ”

I was shocked, it was Ah Ping!

I instinctively wanted to lift the curtain of the car window, but in the next moment, I noticed that the carriage turned slightly and turned the side without the window to the rear, and at the same time heard Zhu Di say: "I asked people to spread the message that you came alone, but you brought so many people, aren't you afraid of her suffering?" ”

"You dare!" Ah Ping scolded angrily, and then the horse's hooves approached.

But was stopped by Zhu Di's understatement: "You might as well try." ”

I could feel the tension in the carriage and my hand hanging at my side clenched into a fist. Even though I knew that Zhu Di couldn't really move me, I still didn't dare to act rashly at this time.

Because I might be able to gamble, but a child sleeping in a basket can't!

Ah Ping's voice became more and more muffled: "What do you want?" ”

In contrast, Zhu Di was more calm, even in the extremely unfavorable situation at this time, he said: "This king just wants to talk to you about the past, if you are sincere, go to the top of the mountain with this king alone." ”

The tip of his heart tightened, the horse and the group of people were already ambushed on the top of the mountain, just waiting for Ah Ping to be coerced up the mountain to try to capture him in one fell swoop. I could no longer remain silent and shouted, "Ah Ping, no. ”

However, after I spoke, the space fell into a deathly silence.

Suddenly realized that something was wrong, if I didn't keep silent just now, Ah Ping would still be hesitant if I was in the carriage, and he would also be suspicious of Zhu Di's behavior, and when he heard my voice, could he still stay calm?

Sure enough, the next moment, I heard him respond in a deep voice: "Okay, I will go up the mountain with you." ”

The stops around him were all cut off by him: "You don't need to say much, you all stay here and wait for me, but if I have something, I will pass on my oral message to my eldest son, Zhu Wenkui, who will be assisted by Mrs. Fang." ”

"Childe!" It was Yan Qi who was shouting bitterly.

But seeing that Zhu Di had already driven the carriage and turned around towards the top of the mountain, and the sound of horses' hooves behind the carriage became single, Ah Ping really agreed to the appointment alone! I bowed forward and pulled out the curtain and grabbed Zhu Di's arm, "You ......"

The words were stuck in my throat, because Zhu Di's eyes turned back to be sharp that I had never seen before, and his eyes locked on me: "You go in!" I didn't move, my grip on his arm tightened, and I heard him say to me, "Don't worry, I won't touch him." ”

The voice was low, only I could hear, I didn't know if I could trust him at such a time, and my eyes and hands were still not loose as I stared at him. But when he heard a sudden cry behind him, his heart paused, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes, and Zhu Di's voice was in his ears: "Go in, Yue'er is awake." "I finally retreated into the carriage and picked up the child in my arms and coaxed it gently, but I don't know if I was hungry or for some other reason, and I still cried for a long time.

The carriage stopped abruptly, and I was horrified to lift the curtain and look out, but I had reached the top of the mountain. But looking at the emptiness and silence all around, it doesn't look like there is an ambush. But if there is no one, then where did Ma He and the others go? Was it really sent away by Zhu Di first, and he came alone to talk to Ah Ping on the top of the mountain? Why I find this far-fetched, even has obvious contradictions.

Zhu Di has never been an impulsive person, and even has forethought and acted step by step, how could he make such an impulsive decision?
