Perhaps he was wrong, because it would be better if Little Dou stayed in the palace. Moreover, Shao'er also doted on him, and the Emperor didn't mind his background. It seemed like treating him like this was also good. He sighed and gave up on the idea of taking his son away. Xi Jiu Er raised her head and saw Mu Qiu Shui dressed in a red robe standing not far away, looking lonely. She was stunned for a moment. She was confused as to why he had such a desolate look in her eyes, but she didn't want to say anything. Then, she brought a smile on her face and asked: "Mu Qiu Shui, why are you here?"

Mu Qiu Shui withdrew his lonely gaze, and laughed: "It's fine, I've stayed here for too long, I've missed my homeland a little. Just think about it, it's about time I return home. So, didn't I come here to say goodbye? "

Xi Jiu Er asked in surprise, "Return? Are you really leaving? "

Mu Qiu Shui nodded his head helplessly, "Yes, fallen leaves must return to their roots. All good things must come to an end.

At this time, Dou Dou ran over and hugged Mu Qiu Shui's legs, feeling an innate intimacy with Mu Qiu Shui. Only Mu Qiu Shui knew that this was an unshakeable love between father and son.

He raised his head and asked Mu Qiu Shui naively: "Uncle, are you really going to leave? Where are you going? "

Mu Qiu Shui nodded his head, and patted Dou Dou's head: "That's right, uncle is going back to his own country, Dou Dou will be good in the future, listen to mother."

Little Dou pouted and nodded in disappointment, "But what can I do about it? Dou Dou doesn't want uncle to leave. "

"Little Dou has a father, a mother loves, and a big sister is playing with you. Uncle is not from Wind Nation, and he cannot stay in Wind Nation forever. " Mu Qiu Shui thought, was this the nature of father and son? Little Dou was also reluctant to part with him, just like how he was reluctant to part with Little Dou.

"Then you have to come back and take me out to play." Dou Dou could only say with a bit of grievance.

In fact, Mu Qiu Shui treated him really well. She would bring him something nice to eat, something fun to play with and even take him out to play. She really didn't want Mu Qiu Shui to leave.

Mu Qiu Shui laughed helplessly: "Okay, when I have time in the future, I will definitely bring Dou Dou out to play and buy delicious food for Xiao Dou to eat. We will be like before, okay?"

Without waiting for Dou Dou to speak, Steamed Bun ran over and shook Mu Qiu Shui's hands. He said in a spoiled manner, "I want it too, I want it too."

Mu Qiu Shui patted Steamed Bun's head and said, "Alright, alright, alright. I have beans and buns."

Xi Jiu Er frowned, she looked at the two cute kids and couldn't help but laugh. or looked towards Mu Qiu Shui and said: "Why are you really leaving? Look, Steamed Bun and Little Dou aren't willing to part with you. "

When Xi Jiu Er asked this question, Mu Qiu Shui was afraid that he would be soft-hearted, so he casually came up with a reason: "That's right, I have to go back."

How could Mu Qiu Shui know the truth behind his departure? After all, the emperor was a man, and his own son was someone else's flesh and blood. However, the Emperor was still the ruler of a nation. How could he allow Dou Dou's father to stay by his side and become a threat?

In order to let Xi Jiu Er and her mother live their lives in peace, Mu Qiu Shui had to leave no matter what.

Xi Jiu Er nodded helplessly, and sighed: "Alright. When are you leaving? I'll walk you out. "

"There's no need to send me off tomorrow. Steamed Bun and Little Dou still need mother's care. "Besides, I don't want the Emperor to misunderstand anything, or invite criticism from the imperial harem." Mu Qiu Shui said.

Xi Jiu Er thought that Mu Qiu Shui's words were reasonable, so she nodded and said: "Alright. Be careful on the way. "

Mu Qiu Shui nodded his head and said: "En, then I will go back first. I will go back and prepare."

"Yes, yes." Xi Jiu Er replied. Mu Qiu Shui unwillingly patted Dou Dou's head and said: "I'll be going first, you must behave yourself, okay?"

Dou Dou nodded with tears in her eyes. "I know. You must come back in the future."

Mu Qiu Shui nodded and turned to leave. He didn't want them to see the tears and reluctance in the corners of his eyes.

As for Shu Xin, she watched Mu Qiu Shui's fading back, standing in the gentle breeze for a long time. Only after a while did he realize that he had wasted too much time. Afraid that the Emperor would scold him, he hurriedly rushed to meet the Emperor.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Estate, his heart was filled with comfort and uneasiness all day. His mind was completely filled with Mu Qiu Shui's figure and that calm smile of his.

On this day, the Grandmother called her over. She was in a daze while walking, so much so that she bumped into Prime Minister Shu who was about to go to the study. Shu Xin lost her balance and was about to fall backwards, but luckily the Prime Minister's guard held her back in time.

Prime Minister Shu looked at Shu Xin absent-mindedly, and asked Shu Xin with a worried expression, "Xin Er, what's wrong with you today? Why was he so distracted after returning from a trip to the palace? What happened in the palace? Or did the Emperor tell you something? "

Seeing that he had bumped into his father, Shu Xin was slightly taken aback. Hearing his father's words, Mu Qiu Shui's figure flashed past in his mind, his face immediately flushed red, and he lowered his head, stuttering: "Ah … Father... I... "I'm fine."

It was rare for the prime minister to see his daughter in such a state. Feeling that it was rather strange, he asked curiously, "Is that so?"

Shu Xin nodded, she did not dare to tell him the truth, and anxiously said: "Father, Grandmother just called me a moment ago, I have matters to attend to, so I will be leaving first."

The Prime Minister nodded in agreement. In his heart, he was still wondering why his daughter had been distracted ever since she came back. Shu Xin saw her father nod his head and quickly went to Grandmother Tower. He was afraid that his father would discover something.

Shu Xin didn't know why, but ever since she was struck by Mu Qiu Shui, even her own heart had been smashed by him. His figure seemed to be possessed by an enchantment that appeared frequently in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.

However, Shu Xin sighed. He had already left for a few days, it seemed like he wouldn't be coming back. But she had fallen for the Mu Qiu Shui who was dressed in red and had a very nice smile on his face. From the looks of it, he seemed to be on good terms with the empress. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bid her farewell that day. Thinking up to here, Shu Xin's eyes dimmed. She knew that there was no conclusion between them, so she sighed and shook her head helplessly. She felt that it was better not to think about anything further.

"Relax? "Relax?" Grandmother frowned, and called him Shu Xin with suspicion.

Shu Xin froze for a moment, then answered blankly: "Ah? Grandmother. "

Grandmother asked her worriedly, "Are you alright? "You can't be me when I ask you, and you keep shaking your head and sighing."

Shu Xin froze for a moment, then said embarrassedly: "Grandmother, I'm sorry. Just as Shu Xin was thinking about this, she didn't hear it. "

Grandmother heaved a sigh of relief and asked her: "What are you thinking, to be able to cause your soul to wander like this?"

Shu Xin's face slightly blushed as she said, "Grandmother, no... "Nothing."

"Nothing? Since it's nothing, then why is your face red? " Grandmother asked jokingly.
