Early in the morning, as soon as Zhu Yunxuan got up with Xu'er, a woman brought breakfast into the cabin. Xu'er, who was having a good time with the bunch of rabbit dolls, saw the woman and subconsciously went to Zhu Yunxuan's arms. Shrinking, his face full of fear. The woman was a little embarrassed, put down the meal, greeted them respectfully, and voluntarily withdrew.

Zhu Yunxuan raised his hand and touched his son's head, comforting him with a warm voice: "Daddy is here, Xuer is not afraid."

The child nodded obediently and told him in a low voice, "This is the one who took Xu'er away. Xu'er doesn't like her. Fortunately, an uncle came to rescue Xu'er."

Zhu Yunxuan: "..."

When Liang Zhen came over, the father and son had already finished their breakfast, and Xu'er sat in Zhu Yunxuan's arms and played with the rabbits one by one. Zhu Yunxuan leaned on the couch, looked out the window, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Hearing the movement, Xu'er raised her head first, and as soon as she saw Liang Zhen's eyes, she lit up, and called him crisply: "Hello, uncle!"

Liang Zhen sat cross-legged on the couch, smiled and reached out and scratched the little doll's nose: "Xuan'er is good."

Then he turned his eyes to Zhu Yunxuan and told him, "I have arranged for someone to send a letter to Duke Ding and the others, so that they don't have to worry, and they will send His Majesty back in half a month."

Zhu Yunxuan didn't say anything, Liang Zhen asked someone to bring hot tea snacks and a chessboard, and motioned to Zhu Yunxuan, Zhu Yunxuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, put the snack in front of Xu'er and told him to eat it himself, holding the chess piece.

An hour later, Liang Zhen smiled and swept the remaining pieces on the chessboard back into the chess box, admitting defeat: "I haven't seen you for three years, and Your Majesty's chess skills have improved a lot."

Zhu Yunxuan ignored his teasing and took a sip of the tea. This tea was very different from the imperial tea he was used to drinking, and it was not the taste he had ever drank in the General Military Mansion in Quanzhou. It was an exotic, and before he knew it, it was already his third cup.

Liang Zhen smiled and explained to him: "This is a kind of tea produced on the island over the Nanyang Sea. Those who are not used to drinking it will feel a strange smell, but if you are used to drinking it, you will like it very much."

Zhu Yunxuan put down the teacup and raised his eyes to look at him: "You can live so unrestrainedly in this barbarian land, and you have become a major general. Your ability has been admirable for three years."

Liang Zhen nodded with a smile: "Your Majesty is just a fool."

"There are a few people in this world who can be like you after becoming a prisoner of the Dayan court."

Zhu Yunxuan's words were unceremonious ridicule and sarcasm, Liang Zhen didn't care at all, he smiled and echoed everything he said: "That's all relying on your majesty, if it wasn't for your majesty to let me go, how would I still be today? ."

Zhu Yunxuan narrowed his eyes lightly and calmly looked at Liang Zhen, who was smiling and smiling in front of him. After three years, something seemed to have changed on this person, and he still seemed to be the same as before, making him unable to see through.

"Daddy..."

Xu'er pulled Zhu Yunxuan's sleeve, seemed to be frightened by the too cold expression on his face, and looked at him timidly.

Zhu Yunxuan eased his expression and squeezed his hand lightly: "Good boy, play by yourself."

Liang Zhen looked at the interaction between their father and son, and the smile in his eyes deepened. It's good to have a little cub around. At least wish Yun Xuan no matter how annoyed him, once he meets the little baby Xu'er, he will turn into a soft finger. Unconsciously, people became soft.

With a low cough, Liang Zhen accepted the joke in his expression, and explained to Zhu Yunxuan seriously: "If your majesty wants to know, I will not hide it from you. Three years ago, I took a few cronies and left Beijing and walked all the way to the south. , went straight out of the sea to Nanyang, and then met my father in Nanyang."

Zhu Yunxuan frowned: "Your father?"

"Yes," Liang Zhen lowered his gaze, "My father, Xiao Junbo, was sent by the late emperor to the sea to suppress bandits more than 20 years ago. At that time, he led 20 ships and nearly 10,000 people to the ghostly creatures, looking for those islands occupied by pirates. The decree given by the late emperor was that they would not return to the dynasty until they could find a place to wipe out all the pirates, otherwise they would be punished as defection. They drifted at sea for three months and encountered numerous storms, waves, and undercurrents of whirlpools. Kou's shadow was not found, and after three months, my father decisively left the ghost and went to Nanyang with the last 1,000 people left."

Without Liang Zhen going on, Zhu Yunxuan also understood: "They didn't return to the court, and the court decided that they were all buried in the sea."

Liang Zhen smiled sarcastically: "When they go back, they are waiting for them to be convicted and sentenced. The late emperor didn't plan to send them back. If they went to Nanyang, they could at least survive."

Zhu Yunxuan was speechless for a while, this was a crime committed by his father, and he couldn't argue with a single sentence.

Liang Zhen continued: "They found an isolated island in Nanyang, and they survived by doing business with those Nanyang people. My father once sent people back to find me and my father, but what I got was that my father had jumped off a cliff with me and died. Bad news, since then he has never set foot in Dayan again. It was a coincidence that my father and son met in Nanyang three years ago, and they finally got to know each other. Those people called me a major general, but it was for the sake of my father. Just go up."

"...Is General Xiao okay now?"

Liang Zhen sighed: "After seeing me, I feel that I have no regrets in this life. I passed away two years ago."

There was a fleeting sadness in his eyes, Zhu Yunxuan felt uncomfortable, and the words of consolation rolled around his mouth, but he didn't say it.

Liang Zhenfu smiled again: "The island has a good scenery and a good climate. Your Majesty will definitely like it."

From last night to today, Zhu Yunxuan never asked him where he was going to take him, as if he didn't care, Liang Zhen took the initiative to say it, and he didn't ask any more, just looked at Xu'er, who was silent for a moment, and said: " You've made up your own mind, so why bother explaining so much."

Liang Zhen lowered his eyes and let out a low laugh. He also looked at Xu'er and asked him, "Little baby, Uncle will take you to a fun place to play, do you want to go?"

The little baby looked at Zhu Yunxuan and said, "Is Daddy going too?"

Zhu Yunxuan pursed the corners of his lips lightly and nodded.

Xu'er said happily: "Then Xu'er will go too."

Liang Zhen smiled complacently, and Zhu Yunxuan really didn't know what to say for a while, but Xu'er didn't realize that his father's idea was awkward and uncomfortable. He looked at Zhu Yunxuan and then at Liang Zhen, and asked Zhu Yunxuan hesitantly: "Dad, uncle said that he is also Xu'er's father, is that true?"

Zhu Yunxuan was stunned for a moment, then Liang Zhen reached out and hugged the person to him, and asked him with a smile, "What do you think about Xu'er?"

The child thought about it seriously and answered him: "Xu'er already has two fathers, and one father. Is it okay for my uncle to be Xu'er's father?"

Such a young child didn't quite know the difference between a father and a father, but felt that three fathers were too many and one father was too few, so he naturally expressed his thoughts, Liang Zhen smiled meaningfully, and On the opposite side, Zhu Yunxuan, who pursed his lips expressionlessly, blinked his eyes: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Xu'er also looked at Zhu Yunxuan eagerly, as if afraid that he would not agree, Zhu Yunxuan raised his hand and stroked the child's face, and said warmly, "Xuan'er is willing to do it."

The child immediately happily shouted "father" and got into Liang Zhen's arms. Zhu Yunxuan was speechless, but he felt that this stupid son was too coaxing. He recognized a father so easily. First, he wanted to get close to the child. Obviously it's not that easy...

At night, Xun Er had nightmares and woke up from his sleep crying, calling for daddy and father. Zhu Yunxuan held the person in his arms and coaxed him for a long time. The child asked him tearfully why daddy and father were not there. It's not that don't want him anymore, Zhu Yunxuan can only comfort him over and over again, and put the child to sleep again.

He himself was no longer sleepy, and after guarding the child for a while, he got up and put on a coat and went outside.

In the middle of the night at sea, there was no light at all, only the sound of the waves crashing and the whistling wind, Zhu Yunxuan leaned on the guardrail, looked into the distance calmly, and remained motionless for a long time.

The cloak fell on his shoulders, and the warm breath approached from behind, Zhu Yunxuan still did not turn his head, a familiar voice sounded in his ear: "What time is it, is your Majesty still asleep? Even if it is summer now, but at night The sea breeze is strong, and your Majesty is careful to catch a cold."

Zhu Yunxuan closed his eyes lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Xuan'er hasn't seen her brothers for two days, so she can't sleep well at night. If...if I bring him back to Beijing, can he bear it?"

The little child is always worried that he will be abandoned, how not to be distressed, he is willing to recognize himself and Liang Zhen, and wants more fathers and fathers, after all, it is still too insecure.

Liang Zhen, the father he just recognized, the father who has only brought his child for a month, how could he replace Zhu Yunjing and He Huailing, who raised him since childhood, in a short period of time, Zhu Yunxuan felt very uncomfortable, if it was back then... He didn't insist on sending the child out, and now he won't make the child feel so wronged.

"It's not His Majesty's fault," Liang Zhen gently hugged his shoulders, "His Majesty was forced to do it back then, if you want to complain, you can blame me."

Zhu Yunxuan's throat was bitter: "I didn't have to force it. Back then, I didn't want him..."

"He's still young, His Majesty is more patient, take it slow, if you're afraid that he won't be able to accept it for a while, you should quickly settle the matter in the south and transfer Duke Dingguo back to Beijing."

Zhu Yunxuan didn't say any more, Liang Zhen pressed his shoulders and made him turn around, helped him wrap the cloak on his body tightly, and reminded him again: "Your Majesty, go back and rest, or Xu'er will wake up in a while, and I haven't seen you. You're going to cry even more."

Zhu Yunxuan looked suddenly, staring at Liang Zhen in front of him, his warm eyes in the night seemed to be filled with a puddle of water, which was about to overflow.

Liang Zhen smiled softly: "Your Majesty, if you look at me like this again, I will carry you back."

Zhu Yunxuan regained his senses, there was a momentary panic in his eyes, he turned his eyes away, and went into the cabin.

After sending Zhu Yunxuan back to the house, Liang Zhen stood outside the door for a while before he smiled helplessly, shook his head, and turned to leave.
