Zhou Tianqi stood to the side, unsure of what to do, looking rather foolish.
Chu Batian was furious. This big oaf, couldn't you just carry it?
What's going on here? Seriously.
Suddenly he realized that it was normal for him to have concerns due to his different status, and he couldn't be entirely blamed.
"Carry the person, cover their head, and send them back as quickly as possible. Don't say anything more. I'll take responsibility if anything happens."
This time, Zhou Tianqi could understand.
You covered your head so that people wouldn't know this was His Highness the Crown Prince, right?
Carrying people is easy for him; he may not have much else, but he's incredibly strong.
He found a silk scarf and covered the prince's head with it, thought for a moment, and then gave him a princess carry.
Wow! It's so cold!
Zhou Tianqi carried the person and ran wildly.
Once everyone had gone far away, Chu Batian finally let out a breath. He had almost drowned in the air; it was a terrible feeling.
She prayed silently in her heart: Good daughter-in-law, we are counting on you! I thank you on behalf of my ancestors for eight generations!
The guards of the Crown Prince's residence saw a figure running towards them from a great distance.
The footsteps were like wild horses that had broken free of their reins.
The guards perked up, their eyes wide open.
Only when they got closer did they realize that this was none other than Zhou, the guard by the Crown Prince's side. And what he was holding in his arms was...
"Whoosh!"
Oh! It ran past...
The two guards at the door exchanged a glance, returned to their positions, their minds seemingly blank, but they tacitly remained silent.
After leaving the Wang family, Shen Jiaojiao separated from Ruyue and saw the black mist that was about to spread from the Crown Prince's residence in the distance.
Her heart skipped a beat. Who had upset him this time?
"Hurry back to the manor!" Shen Jiaojiao shouted, quickening her pace and running towards the manor.
The guards at the gate saw the Crown Princess leading the way again, and a group of people frantically ran towards the mansion.
The two stared wide-eyed, trying to discern the details.
Oh! Thank goodness, I know everyone! Thank goodness there's no danger ahead, the danger is over.
After everyone had gone inside, the two guards exchanged a glance, then silently returned to their positions, remaining silent.
What day is it today?!
Before Zhou Tianqi could speak, Shen Jiaojiao had already run past him and rushed into the room.
Finally, we saw the source of the black fog.
This time he didn't faint; he just sat blankly on the bed, eyes glazed over, muttering something under his breath.
Shen Jiaojiao leaned closer to listen.
"Jiaojiao... Jiaojiao..."
Her eyes welled up with tears, and she opened her arms to hug him.
Chu Tianling felt a ray of sunlight slowly shining down into the cold world, making it feel warm.
He instinctively hugged the warm body in his arms, a feeling of satisfaction from finding a treasure washing over him.
Shen Jiaojiao nestled obediently in his arms. Fine, she'd lie down with him for a while.
Zhou Tianqi walked to the door and closed it. Finally, he no longer felt the cold. He had put in too much effort today, so he would have to eat three extra bowls of rice tonight.
He walked toward the kitchen, wanting to personally acknowledge that he had been instrumental in the success of the day.
Springflowers and spring grass leaned against the door, panting heavily. They were exhausted from running too fast, and their heads and faces were covered in sweat.
Fu Hang and the others were men after all, and after running such a long distance, they only had a little sweat on their faces, and their faces were not red or out of breath.
When they ran to the door, they realized that something must have happened to His Highness the Crown Prince. However, the door was closed, there was no sound, and no imperial physician was called, so it seemed that nothing serious had happened.
"Hey! Tianqi, where are you going?"
"Let's eat." Tianqi didn't even blink as he continued walking.
"Huh???" Wang Dazhuang was speechless. This guy was such a good-for-nothing. He wanted to ask what had happened!
The group dispersed.
When Chu Tianling regained his senses, he found himself lying in bed, holding Shen Jiaojiao in his arms.
Looking at the person sleeping soundly in his arms, he pulled the person closer and held them even tighter.
He feels lost and his existence seems ridiculous.
It's like being caught in a whirlpool. What is the meaning of life? Why are we born?
"what's on your mind?"
My thoughts were interrupted.
"You're awake."
He said in a low voice.
Shen Jiaojiao leaned against him, not understanding why things had suddenly turned out this way.
"Tell me, why are you suddenly in a bad mood?"
“Jiaojiao, I went to see my father today, and he told me that Chu Tianyang is not his child.”
"Huh? Is that so? How did he know?"
Shen Jiaojiao became curious.
Chu Tianling looked at her with amusement; he knew she would ask that question.
"Hehe, you really did ask that."
After laughing, his voice became calm: "My father said that back then..."
I thought I would feel as bad as I did in the palace, but when I held Jiaojiao, the feeling of sadness seemed to disappear.
"Jiaojiao, I don't know what the meaning of life is."
Shen Jiaojiao was also speechless. She hadn't expected that these secrets were hidden in the cold words on the script.
She raised her hand and stroked Chu Tianling's face, gently smoothing out his furrowed brows.
"Alright! If you don't understand the meaning of life, then live for me from now on. We are husband and wife, we are one. Don't think nonsense anymore."
"I still want to see the empire you've conquered!"
Chu Tianling stared intently at that small face, as if looking through it to see her radiant soul.
Why is she always able to ignite her inner self when she's at her saddest and most heartbroken?
"Jiaojiao, I love you so much. What will I do if I lose you in the future?" Chu Tianling said earnestly.
Shen Jiaojiao chuckled softly, "Then just keep a close eye on me and never leave me for the rest of your life, right?"
"Mmm!" Chu Tianling hugged her tightly, silently answering in his heart: Forever.
"I don't know what time it is, but I'm hungry. I'll get up, eat something, and then go back to sleep."
Shen Jiaojiao looked at the dim light in the room, unsure of the time, but certain it was late.
When I came back, I hadn't taken off my clothes. When I lifted the blanket, it was a bit cold.
Chu Tianling held the person in his arms, and it took them a while to get used to each other.
As soon as the door opened, the moon was indeed high in the sky, indicating that it was quite late.
Chunhua and Chuncao were still guarding the door when they heard it open, and they both woke up with a start.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and Your Highness the Crown Princess!"
They finally woke up. The Crown Princess had been running frantically, not knowing what had happened, which terrified the two of them.
Seeing the two of them come out now, it seems they're alright.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at the two people, who were still guarding the door even though it was very late, and guessed they were exhausted.
Somewhat touched: "You two have worked so hard."
The two quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we are not tired. You have been sleeping for so long, you must be hungry when you wake up. There is still some food warming in the kitchen, we will go and get it right away."
"Okay, sure."
