"Donghao! What are you doing?"
Fang Shaoling exclaimed in surprise, somewhat taken aback by Song Donghao's performance.
"I'm tired. Let's go back to the manor now. As for the young lady's life-saving grace, I will definitely send someone to express my gratitude another day."
Song Donghao glanced at Fang Shaoling indifferently, then turned to his attendant and said.
So the attendant had no choice but to help Song Donghao leave the crowd.
The people involved in the poisoning all said it had nothing to do with the restaurant, so the others naturally had nothing to say, and there was no more excitement to watch.
As Fang Shaoling reluctantly followed Song Donghao, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Xiao Churen's original plan to help Su Liluo out of the predicament has once again fallen through.
"Your Highness, shall we... shall we still go to find the Crown Princess?"
The servant behind him didn't dare to look at Xiao Churen's expression and asked cautiously from the side.
He originally thought he had a chance to win his master's favor, but he didn't expect the Crown Princess to be so capable, easily resolving two major troubles she encountered.
His master was just a spectator from beginning to end.
Xiao Churen stared at Su Liluo, who remained calm and composed throughout, managing the restaurant's order. A look of unwavering determination flashed in his eyes, a determination he himself was unaware of.
"Why aren't you going?"
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards Su Liluo, with the servant behind him quickly following.
After restoring order to the restaurant, Su Liluo prepared to go inside to find the innkeeper to settle accounts. Before she even stepped inside, she heard a familiar voice from the side.
"Crown Princess, wait!"
Xiao Churen walked towards him with a slight smile on his face.
Su Liluo frowned slightly. Xiao Churen at this moment was different from any time she had ever seen him before.
"Your Highness, what brings you here?"
Su Liluo looked at him curiously.
Xiao Churen smiled gently, "I've come today to apologize to the Crown Princess. I had many misunderstandings about you before, and my mother also had some misunderstandings about you at the palace banquet, so I wanted to come here specifically to apologize to you."
"Yeah?"
Su Lilu sighed.
That's really strange!
Xiao Churen actually took the initiative to apologize to her?
Su Liluo naturally wouldn't believe it.
Based on her understanding of Xiao Churen from both her past and present lives, this man was always aloof and superior, so why would he apologize to her?
Especially considering the deep conflict he has with Su Wanshi, isn't he afraid of hurting her feelings?
Seeing that Su Liluo didn't seem to believe him, Xiao Churen's expression became even more sincere.
"I saw what just happened. The Crown Princess is a kind and upright person, and also very capable. I was originally planning to help you out of this predicament, but I didn't expect that you would resolve it yourself without my intervention."
"Your Highness, you flatter me."
Su Liluo gave a simple reply.
He understood that Xiao Churen thought he was capable and wanted to recruit and utilize him as he had in his previous life.
It seems that although many small things have changed after being reborn, some major things remain the same.
In this lifetime, he still managed to take advantage of those who exploited him.
But it seems his grand dreams will be dashed in this lifetime.
"You deserve such praise. The Crown Princess is intelligent and kind, and has such superb medical skills. Today, I am truly impressed."
Xiao Churen assumed that Su Liluo's tone was not as sharp as he had suggested, and that she had accepted his advances.
So he decided to have a good talk with her.
But the next second, Su Liluo's words made him extremely embarrassed.
"Hehe, thank you! But His Highness the Prince of Chu said he came to apologize. I wonder what gift you have prepared as an apology?"
Su Liluo suddenly laughed.
"this......"
Xiao Churen looked embarrassed. He had come empty-handed today, so he hadn't prepared any gifts.
At first, he only intended to be a hero and leave a good impression on her, but when that opportunity didn't come, he changed his approach to apologizing and striking up a conversation.
He was truly embarrassed by her question.
"What? Is His Highness the King of Chu's apology just empty words? There's not a shred of sincerity in this apology."
Seeing that he was stunned, Su Liluo clicked her tongue in amazement again.
No, it's not.
Sensing the sarcasm in the other person's tone, Xiao Churen quickly tried to defend himself.
"No? Did His Highness the King of Chu prepare an apology gift for me? But your hands are empty. Let me guess, could it be...?"
Su Liluo rested her chin on her hand, pretending to be deep in thought.
A slight smile lingered in her eyes; she was actually thinking about how to tease Xiao Churen.
"Could it be that His Highness the King of Chu prepared too many apology gifts for me, and couldn't carry them all with his two hands, so he came to find me in person first? Oh dear, Your Highness the King of Chu, you are too kind!"
Su Liluo suddenly said with delight.
Xiao Churen felt embarrassed to refute her enthusiasm, as if he would be ridiculed for being stingy and insincere if he said no.
However, he also thought that Su Liluo's words had indeed resolved his awkward situation.
So he could only nod and reply, "The gift I prepared for you is indeed too big to carry in one hand. I will send someone to deliver it to your residence later."
Su Lilu smiled brightly, "Then I will thank Your Highness Chu in advance. The gifts Your Highness Chu sent must be at least ten or eight boxes. If you didn't have that many and still sent them by special means, you would be a laughing stock."
Xiao Churen: "..."
Ten or eight boxes?
