Chapter 61 Breakup◇
After Zhou Yu decided to no longer recognize Zhu Xi as her friend, she slipped out of the dimension and went to the bushes at the entrance of Taohua Village, intending to walk back home along the path. After all, her brother would arrange everything for her, and with her brother around, she didn't have to think about anything else...
She felt very tired after the day and just wanted to go home and have a good sleep...
In the space, Zhou Jin no longer had the intention to scare Zhu Xi, and said to him directly:
"When you get out later, tell them that you and Ayu escaped from the Tartars and hid for a long time before daring to come out. Don't tell them anything else, or I really can't keep you here!
You've seen it too, we brothers and sisters can go wherever we want, anytime, anywhere. Killing you is as easy as pie! So, when you get out, behave yourself, okay?!
Zhu Xi's mind was now filled with Zhou Yu's words that she no longer considered him a friend. He wanted to quickly find Zhou Yu and ask her why she suddenly didn't want to be his friend anymore. If she wanted to become his principal wife in order to continue being his friend, then he would ask his grandfather for help. Although it might be difficult, if he threatened to commit suicide, he thought his grandfather would agree. It wasn't like he had no other options, so why would he ignore him?!
From childhood to adulthood, she is the only friend he can talk to!
So, he just instinctively nodded to Zhou Jin's threat. Zhou Jin thought he understood, so he dragged him to the bushes outside Taohua Village, intending to give him a few more instructions. However, as soon as Zhu Xi got to the bushes and saw where it was, he quickly jumped out and ran towards Zhou Jin's house...
Zhou Jin...isn't this kid going to tell on me?!
But he shook his head, thinking that if Zhu Xi wasn't really a fool, he wouldn't reveal their secret at this time. As for the future, Zhou Jin decided to wait and see...
If Zhu Xi behaves in a strange way in the next few days, he will have to kill him to prevent future troubles!
…
But in fact, Zhu Xi was really just busy running back to find Zhou Yu to explain. As a result, before he even got home, he ran into Zhou Zelin, whose clothes were all messed up, and Ye Qing, who was still dressed like a businessman and looked exhausted. When they saw him, they rushed over and looked him up and down.
"Fifth Prince! Are you alright?! I was so worried!" Ye Qing was relieved to see Zhu Xi was still alive and able to run. The rest of his heart depended on how Emperor Cheng Qian would deal with him after he found out...
However, just when I was half relieved, I was immediately frightened by Zhu Xi's pig-headed face...
"Oh! Your Highness, what happened to your face?!"
This is bad! If the Fifth Prince's face is disfigured, he will also die miserably!
Ye Qing said in panic.
Today, after being separated from the Fifth Prince by the crowd, he was surrounded by several Tartars. After he killed them all, he looked up and there was no sign of the Fifth Prince...
He hurriedly searched along the mountains and forests, and he caught up with the fleeing group, but he could not find any trace of the Fifth Prince and Zhou Yu girl in the crowd.
He recognized the driver who drove Zhou Yu's carriage, and after some questioning, he learned that Zhou Yu had fled alone to the other side of the forest to divert the Tartars, and the Fifth Prince had followed her...
Ye Qing hurried back to the eastern forest to search, but found nothing. Only a few broken arrows from the Tartars were still there. The rest, whether the Tartars, the Fifth Prince, or Zhou Yu, had disappeared...
Ye Qing, hoping for a lucky break, hurried back to Taohua Village. However, because he had lost his horse, he had no choice but to go to Baili Town and buy another one at a high price. So by the time he arrived at Taohua Village, it was already dark. Almost a day had passed since Zhu Xi and the other two disappeared...
But after Ye Qing arrived at Taohua Village, he found in despair that the two had not returned at all. Zheng and the others might have thought that they would stay in Cheng Ziyu's courtyard for another night. They were all having a great time and did not look like they knew the bad news about Zhou Yu at all!
This scared Ye Qing so much that he didn't know where to find anyone. He could only ask Zhou Zelin for help and told him his identity. He wanted him to give him some advice on whether to use the nearby army to help find someone!
Zhou Zelin was also frightened when he heard this. If something happened to Zhu Xi, he would not have the face to see his father and General Chang in the future!
But he was calmer than Ye Qing. After hearing what Ye Qing said, he immediately analyzed that if Ye Qing didn't find the bodies of the two people in the eastern forest, it meant that they were most likely still alive. They either escaped or were captured by the Tartars...
There's no point in the Tartars capturing these two civilian children, so they probably won't bother...
Unless Zhu Xi reveals his identity, the Tartars will probably take him as a hostage...
But since they wanted to take him as a hostage, they wouldn't kill him right away...
As for Ayu, if Zhu Xi were taken hostage, she'd be in grave danger. But she's always been clever, so maybe she could find a way out for herself...
So Zhou Zelin suggested that Ye Qing go and greet the military first, keep an eye on the movements of the Tartars, and then take people to the place where the two people were in trouble to search again. He was worried that the two children might be hiding somewhere nearby, or injured, and would not dare to cry out for help if they saw someone looking for them...
Ye Qing hurriedly wanted to do what Zhou Zelin wanted, but just as he left the house, he saw Zhou Yu coming back...
The two hurried forward to ask Zhou Yu about Chang Sanlang's whereabouts, but Zhou Yu only glanced at them indifferently and sneered:
"Who is Chang Sanlang? Uncle Lin, is there really such a person? I don't even know him?!"
Zhou Zelin...
…
Although they were scolded by Zhou Yu, the two of them also heard from Zhou Yu's tone that Zhu Xi should not be dead, but Zhou Yu might have known his true identity. They hurriedly followed Zhou Yu's path and found Zhu Xi running back...
The two of them hurriedly went up to meet him...
Zhou Zelin was also frightened by Zhu Xi's swollen face, and hurriedly asked what happened.
Could it be the Tartars who attacked him? But after being beaten like this, he must have been captured, right? And how could he escape?
Zhou Zelin was puzzled...
Zhu Xi also knew that the two were worried about him, so he quickly comforted them and told them the story that Zhou Jin had asked him to tell...
He said that he and Zhou Yu had escaped from the Tartars after a long time of fleeing through the mountains and forests, and just to be on the safe side, they hid in the bushes for a long time before daring to come out... That's why they returned so late...
As for the wound on his face, he simply said that he had run into a tree in a panic while trying to escape...
"As long as he can come back, it's good, as long as he is okay!" Although Zhou Zelin was a little skeptical that hitting a tree could cause his entire face to be swollen, he felt that as long as the person could come back alive, it would be good. Otherwise, if something happened to this person, he really would not be able to explain to his dead father and General Chang... He would not even have the face to apologize with his death!
So he hurriedly tried to comfort Zhu Xi, both to comfort him and to comfort himself...
Zhu Xi spoke to the two of them for a few more words before he was able to continue on his way to Zhou Jin's house. However, when he arrived, he saw that all his belongings had been thrown at the door by Zhou Yu. Several other families were also alarmed by the noise of Zhou Yu throwing things, and they all came out to see what was happening...
Zhou Yu, with a stern face, stood at the door of his house with his hands on his hips, waiting for him. When he saw him coming, he shouted at him directly across the yard in front of several families:
"I'm afraid this small temple of ours can't accommodate a great god like you. You'd better hurry back to your beautiful nest! From now on, we'll go our separate ways, and no one should claim to know each other! I'm sorry I can't see you off!"
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house without caring what others thought!
This caused several families to look at each other in surprise, wondering what these two children were doing...
………
According to Zhu Xi's personality, after being slapped in the face by Zhou Yu in public, he would definitely retort, "If I don't know you, then I don't know you. Who's afraid of who?"
But at this moment, Zhu Xi stood at the door of Zhou Yu's house, covering his swollen face, but he didn't dare to say this. It seemed that as long as he didn't respond, he and Zhou Yu would not break up and they would still be good friends...
So, he could only quietly pack his luggage, intending to wait for Zhou Yu to calm down before speaking. But as he packed, he felt very aggrieved. He had obviously wanted to bring Zhou Yu back to the capital for her own good, wanting her to live a good life with him. Even if it was wrong for him to want her to be a maid or concubine, she didn't have to break off her friendship with him...
As I thought about it, tears started to fall...
Zhou Zelin...
You two have reversed your roles in this play...
…
In the end, Zhu Xi could only follow Zhou Zelin back to their home in disappointment, and lived in the study room that Zhou Zelin usually used to teach the children. He didn't want to live with Zhou Luo. When that guy saw him being beaten into a pig's head, he almost died of joy because he thought he had broken up with Zhou Yu again!
The next day, after a good night's sleep, Zhou Yu digested his emotions and went about his business as usual, except for not mentioning "Chang Sanlang" anymore. Everything went on as usual...
Zhu Xi, on the other hand, had fallen silent. Apart from visiting Zhou Yu every day and being ignored by her every time, he had lost interest in anything else.
That day, Zhu Xi followed Zhou Yu when she went to look for herbs. Seeing that Zhou Yu was still ignoring him, he couldn't help but stop her...
"Zhou Yu, can we have a good talk? Stop ignoring me. If you tell me what I did wrong, I'll fix it, right?!"
"Chang Sanlang! No, I should call you the Fifth Imperial Grandson, right?"
Zhou Yu was so angry that he laughed when he saw Zhu Xi was so aggrieved that he couldn't help himself.
"Do you feel wronged that you, a grandson of the emperor, have to beg a commoner like me so humbly, and I still don't give you face? Do you think I'm really ungrateful?"
"I didn't. I never looked down on you. I always treated you as my friend!" Zhu Xi became energetic when he saw that Zhou Yu was finally willing to pay attention to him, and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Friends? So the way your family treats friends is to take them in as maids, concubines, and servants to serve you?
What do you mean you've never looked down on me? That very statement of yours is actually looking down on me!
Humph, how shameless are you? Or are you so stupid that you don't even realize it? How dare you think that?! How am I, Zhou Yu, inferior to you? And you look down on me?!
I study medicine, I can heal illnesses and save lives, and I can earn money and support myself! What can you do?!
Without your status as the emperor's grandson, you are nothing! Without your good grandfather, you will starve to death in a minute!
I don't look down on you and always treat you as a friend because I think no matter how useless you are, at least you are sincere to me as a friend!
But what about you? Not only did you hide your identity from me, but you even wanted me to be your concubine? And you acted like it was a gift?
How dare you think like that?
You are just a loser!!!"
After Zhou Yu angrily scolded the loser in front of him, she turned around and went into the mountains. She had already said that things should be done on their own, but this guy still had to come and pick a fight with her. What was she still hesitating about?
Zhu Xi was left standing there in a daze, with the words echoing over and over in his mind, "Are you just a loser?"
………
So, in Hei Yatou's heart, he is just a loser?!
That’s right, what else can he do without Kyoto and his grandfather?
If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Zhou Yu and his sister, he would have died eight hundred times by now...
He was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and couldn't even understand a policy paper, or even put on his own clothes. When faced with the Tartars slaughtering the people, he dared not do anything except curse in his heart, and had to rely on the black girl to protect him...
How dare he call himself "young master" in front of others? He thinks he is just a nobody...
How could he have the nerve to say that letting Hei Yatou be his concubine was for her own good? Let alone letting her be a concubine, even if he married her as his principal wife, could he really protect her?
Zhu Xi was completely upset by Zhou Yu's words. He stood there motionless for a long time, which frightened Ye Qing, who had been watching over him in the dark. He couldn't help but go forward to check on him...
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Ye Qing asked cautiously.
"Ye Qing, did you hear everything?" Zhu Xi glanced at him blankly at first, then asked after recognizing him:
"Don't tell me, isn't it just A-Yu? Many people think the same way. They think I'm a loser?"
"Uh~~Your Highness, Miss Yu was just angry for a moment, please don't take it to heart..." Ye Qing tried to persuade him clumsily.
"I don't blame her. Actually, what Ayu said is right. After my status as the emperor's grandson was taken away, I'm really nothing..."
Zhu Xi murmured silently in Zhou Yu's direction again.
Ye Qing...
Is this because he was so angry after the breakup with Yuyatou?
Ye Qing felt that it was no wonder that the Fifth Prince was so angry. Yu's words were indeed quite poisonous! After all, you can't call a man a waste, right?!
Besides, what's wrong with being the Fifth Prince's concubine or maid?! What a wonderful thing! Eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks all day long!
Ye Qing couldn't understand why Zhou Yu was so disgusted by this. Given the Fifth Prince's fondness for her, he must have been pampering her every day, with plenty of gold, silver, jade, and other things. Everyone in Kyoto knew that the Fifth Prince was incredibly wealthy! Wasn't that better than her running around treating patients all day?
I don't know what this girl is thinking. Why doesn't she appreciate the good things she has? She refuses to do something good that so many people hope for, and yet the Fifth Prince falls for her tricks. Sigh! How can I persuade her...
Ye Qing scratched his head and thought, if only Zhou Zelin was here, he would definitely be able to persuade the two of them, but he was not here. He was used to being a secret guard and could hardly speak, let alone persuade others. He could only stand behind Zhu Xi and continue to accompany him in silence...
After a long time, the sky was completely dark. Ye Qing felt that Zhou Yu must have come down the mountain from somewhere else, so he couldn't help but speak again hesitantly...
"Your Highness, how about we go back first and continue tomorrow..."
"No need, she won't pay attention to me anymore!" Zhu Xi was silent for a long time before speaking:
"Ye Qing, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Go and prepare your things. We will return to Beijing tomorrow!"
Ye Qing...
