From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 419

The sea breeze in late autumn was a bit biting.

Zhou Yuan stood on the deck, looking ahead quietly.

The sunset was like blood, the whole sky was very quiet, but the sea was surging and reflecting, like a burning flame that wanted to burn everything.

Between movement and stillness, the world seemed to be blending, converging, and finally becoming one.

"Don't you want to eat?"

Zhuang Xuansu walked forward, his voice was very light.

"I'm not hungry, you guys eat, don't worry about me."

Zhou Yuan didn't even look back.

Zhuang Xuansu frowned and said, "Did something sad happen? After getting on the boat, I felt that you were in a bad mood."

Zhou Yuan said, "It's what most people dream of, but the timing and location are too inappropriate, so a good thing turned into a bad thing."

Zhuang Xuansu thought for a while, then tried to say, "Zhou Yuan, how can I comfort you? After these few days, I have also thought about a lot of things."

"I understand you, I also think that His Majesty is wrong to abandon your family, and I also understand that you are used as a pawn and feel angry."

"But I think your reaction seems too You are excited. What you should do is... let His Majesty compensate you, instead of being depressed and looking like a failure like now. "

Zhou Yuan smiled, but sighed: "Yes, I understand her a lot, especially today."

Zhuang Xuansu said: "Because of what happened in Jinling?"

"Yes."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "I understand the price of being a leader. Pressure is like a mountain. You need to carry it all the time and keep moving forward."

"Once you stop, even if you are not crushed to death by the mountain, everyone on the mountain will die."

Zhuang Xuansu was silent.

Because she couldn't understand.

Her world is very complicated. The work of the Inner Court is full of intrigues, conspiracies and killings.

Her world is also very simple. She just wants to follow her sister and be loyal to His Majesty, and has never thought about other things.

But Zhou Yuan always seems to have a lot of ideas.

She knew that there were many barriers between her and him, so she could only smile bitterly and sigh: "Well, I am too slow in some aspects, and I don't want to think too much. I just do what I should do."

"Protect you until you are completely safe."

Zhou Yuan looked back at her and squinted: "Some things, once you get into the game, you can't get out. I will land in Ningbo Prefecture. At that time, I hope you will leave by yourself."

Zhuang Xuansu said: "I can't disobey your majesty's order."

Zhou Yuan said: "Then I will probably force you to leave."

Zhuang Xuansu couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't make trouble Zhou Yuan, you really think you are a traitor who killed the king..."

Zhou Yuan didn't say anything, just ate his meal one bite at a time.

Eat your meal one bite at a time, and walk your way step by step.

…

“I don’t agree.”

Zhao Jianjia saw the handwriting on the paper and immediately shook her head and said, “Chenxi, I don’t mean to discourage you, but Master Su Youzi and Xiaozhuang have said that your talent is very ordinary, and you can’t do it even if you work hard.”

Chenxi looked at Zhao Jianjia eagerly, with pleading and determination in her eyes.

Zhao Jianjia said helplessly, “Why? Wudao Cliff is a place where disciples of Quanzhen Dao who have made serious mistakes go. This is not a place to practice Taoism in essence, but a punishment. You are alone and have difficulty moving. No one takes care of you when you eat, drink, defecate or urinate. You are just suffering!”

“My husband gave you to me, and I should take good care of you.”

Chenxi quickly wrote on the paper, “Master Su Youzi said that she succeeded in enlightenment there, and I want to go.”

Zhao Jianjia said, “Master Su Youzi has talent and learns everything very quickly, so Only by pushing myself, I finally broke the shackles. You should know your situation. "

Chenxi thought for a while, and then wrote: "I want to try."

"No! You are not mobile, and your body is not good. If something happens, I..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Youzi sighed and said: "Let her go."

Zhao Jianjia turned around and said: "Master, Chenxi can't walk with her legs, so she is not suitable for professional closed-door retreat."

Master Su Youzi took her hand and walked out slowly.

After walking to the yard, she whispered: "Jianjia, her fate can only be changed by herself. She has hope in her heart, and we are not suitable to stop her."

"You should let her try. Even if she really can't stand up for the rest of her life, she at least tried."

Speaking of this, Su Youzi smiled and said: "Although she has no talent, her character is very tough."

Zhao Jianjia said softly: "Master, it is because of her tough character that I dare not let her go. She suffered there alone, but she refused to come out, and finally ended up with a disease."

Su Youzi said: "But this is the fate she chose. Will you give her this opportunity?"

Zhao Jianjia lowered her head and hesitated.After a long time, he sighed and said, "I just ask the master to take good care of her..."

Su Youzi shook his head and said, "In my opinion, you are the one who needs to be taken care of in the Zhou Mansion."

Zhao Jianjia's face looked much better, and then he whispered, "Thank you for your concern, master. My physical condition seems to be good, and the fetus is also healthy."

Su Youzi said, "I'm talking about your Tao heart."

"Do I have a Tao heart too?"

Su Youzi nodded and said, "You let Xue Ningyue take good care of her illness. Not only is she taking care of her illness, she is also reading medical books and studying medicinal diet."

"Zi Yuan and Qing Yuan are taking care of you while also preparing to grow some flowers and plants."

"Although Chenxi is disabled, she has been doing what she thinks she should do, and she has faith in her heart."

"And you? Child, you are the only one who is confused, uneasy, and full of panic."

Zhao Jianjia lowered her head, not daring to speak, but her nose was sour.

Su Youzi gently held her hand and said with emotion: "There will always be many changes and tests in life. You have completed many important changes in a short period of time..."

"From a slightly arrogant young lady, to a newlywed who thought her fate was bleak, and then to a qualified wife. Now you have encountered difficulties and you have quickly grown into an outstanding lady in charge."

"You are even about to become a mother."

At this point, Master Su Youzi smiled and said: "Are you really that strong in your heart? The cruel world forces you to keep changing, and you have done a good job, but are you really not tired?"

"You have arranged everything, and everyone regards you as the backbone, but in fact you have not even found yourself."

Zhao Jianjia smiled bitterly, wiped her tears, and said: "Master, I... I am very tired, but it is not time to complain..."

"My husband's situation is very dangerous. We have become stray dogs. He is not here, and I must support this family."

"If I am not optimistic, how can they be optimistic ? "

"If I am not strong, how can they be strong?"

"Many times I admire my husband, a person can manage so many people, can command so many soldiers and subordinates..."

"During this period of time, I understand that being a leader requires a price."

"Responsibility can really crush people."

Su Youzi slowly hugged her into his arms, patted her back gently, and whispered: "Child, treat this place as home and feel at ease."

"Regarding the news about Yuan Yizi, I will help you get more Listen."

Zhao Jianjia couldn't help crying, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry... Master... I'm too fragile. You are a monk, I dare not let you participate in the secular world..."

Su Youzi smiled and said: "I thought about it for two days, and suddenly I felt that Guan Lu... was right. I was obsessed with appearances."

"The way of the world is also a way."

"Even if I don't want to go up, I should understand it."

"What's more..."

Su Youzi murmured: "Yuan Yizi is my apprentice!"
