Zhu Chumo locked himself in his room, saying he was divining, but Zhu Lin always felt that he had gone to sleep in his room. With the ability of the fourth senior brother, how could it take two hours to divine a divination?
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Lin took out a tortoise shell from the brocade bag and tried to cast a divination himself. The divination result showed that it was ominous, and it seemed that the Empress was in grave danger. However, he was always inferior in metaphysics, so he still had to see what the result of his fourth senior brother's divination would be.
Zhu Chumo got the result early, in just a quarter of an hour, and then lay down on the bed and slept soundly. Every time he calculated this kind of divination, which was like peeking into the secrets of heaven, he would exhaust all his energy and need to lie down and rest for an hour or two after getting the result in order to recover.
Seeing him finally emerge, Zhu Lin, unusually, couldn't contain herself and walked up to him, whispering, "How was it?"
“Very ominous.” Zhu Chumo only said two words.
"Is there a way to break this?" Zhu Lin asked, frowning slightly.
"The one who tied the knot must untie it; it would be best to have the Empress's closest relative return home." Zhu Chumo's words were pointed and blatantly suggestive.
The closest people are those of blood relatives and family. The one in the capital is a fake, so the Empress's life is in danger. Only by sending the real princess back can this calamity be averted.
Zhu Lin understood. He found Xingxing and carefully told her about the Queen's situation.
"What kind of solution is this? Everyone knows that if you get a fake, you have to get the real thing to expose the fake. The problem now is that I don't have my past memories. I'm really struggling with this." Xingxing slowly shook her head. So, Fourth Senior Brother came up with this?
Zhu Lin felt it necessary to clarify things for her fourth senior brother, "Fourth senior brother wouldn't be wrong. The divination shows that it's still some time before the Empress vomits blood and falls seriously ill. If we set off for the capital now..."
There's still time to salvage the situation. Before we can determine the outcome, we're just trying anything, like throwing a horse in the dark. There's a difference between rushing to the capital without knowing when the Empress will meet with trouble and simply acting out of pure enthusiasm.
"Okay, you're right. I shouldn't have questioned Fourth Senior Brother's abilities." Xingxing readily admitted her mistake. Her mind was in turmoil, and it was inevitable that her words would be somewhat unpleasant to hear.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You still have time. You can think about it for a few days and then decide whether you want to go to Beijing. Whatever your decision is, I will support you," Zhu Lin said good-naturedly.
So Xingxing decided to think about it for a few more days. However, she had the same dream every night: the empress was vomiting blood and fainting, the palace was in chaos, and the empress was visibly thin, like a fresh peony that was quickly withered after being plucked.
Every time Xingxing had this dream, she would wake up in a fright, then stare blankly with wide eyes. After several days of this, Xingxing finally made up her mind.
That day, she called her parents, five brothers, seven people from Xianwu Island, and three female guards to the main room to talk.
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to the capital in a few days," Xingxing announced firmly.
Zhou Laoda and Zhao Guihua had mixed feelings, some of them bitter. In the past few days, Zhu Lin had hinted at it to them twice, intentionally or unintentionally. The first time, the boy said, "You all knew that Xingxing had the ability to foresee the future. Now that her relatives may be in danger, perhaps she will leave here to save them."
At that time, Zhou Laoda and Zhao Guihua thought that if their loved ones were in danger, they definitely had to go and rescue them, but where could they go to rescue them?
The second time, which was yesterday, the boy said again: "You also know that Xingxing's relatives are in the capital. If we want to save people, we may have to go to the capital."
Hearing this, the two were stunned and their minds were in turmoil. Yes, Xingxing was a princess. Although they always tried to forget and hypnotize themselves into thinking that Xingxing was their daughter, their own daughter, it did not change the fact that she was a princess.
The princess's family is all in the palace. If she wants to save her family, wouldn't she have to go to the palace?
Last night, Zhou Laoda and Zhao Guihua didn't sleep a wink, they were both thinking about this. Xingxing was going to save people, and they certainly couldn't stop her, but they really couldn't bear to see her leave.
I heard that things are still chaotic in the north. Natural disasters happen from time to time, and there are refugees everywhere. Although there is sweet potato relief, the situation has improved somewhat, but it is still very chaotic. There are still many people who are not getting enough to eat and have to sell their children to get food.
The journey from the south to the capital was long and arduous, involving traversing mountains and rivers. How much hardship must Xingxing have endured, being so small? Once she returned to the palace and reunited with her biological parents, she would never return to Yegou Village. Would they ever see her again?
The couple tossed and turned all night, muttering to themselves. In the end, they could only sigh. They couldn't always think of themselves; they had to put the greater good first. The one in danger was the mother of the nation, Xingxing's own mother. She had to be saved.
What merit did they have to be the princess's daughter for over a year? Such an adorable daughter, calling them father and mother for over a year—this is a blessing from their past life!
We should be content. How can we still be thinking about bringing her back and wanting her to live with them in this small mountain village?
Like a phoenix perching on a parasol tree, she should stay in the palace enjoying wealth and luxury, instead of following them to the fields and mountains every day.
So at this moment, apart from feeling upset, Zhou Laoda and his wife were not too surprised. Xingxing has always been sensible and smart, and she can foresee danger, so she will naturally make the right choice.
"Huh? Why did you suddenly decide to go to the capital?" Zhou Erfu asked, puzzled. He looked at Xingxing in disbelief, then frowned at Zhu Lin, feeling that the latter had encouraged Xingxing.
Dafu and the others couldn't accept it either. The capital was so far away. If Xingxing left, wouldn't they never see her again?
"Has something happened?" Sanfu was more composed and immediately figured out the reason.
"Yes, we're going to the capital to rescue people," Zhu Lin gave an ambiguous answer.
But Zhou Sanfu was very clever. When they were at Quanshui Mansion, they knew that Xingxing's identity might be that of a princess. They guessed that the princess was going to rescue someone and was going to the palace.
