frank
As soon as the words came out, both of them were stunned.
It was as if there was a pool of dust called "regret" that completely covered the anger in his heart.
Dust rose up and blinded his eyes.
He Chenghuan blinked, his mouth slightly open, but he didn't know what to explain. He could only tighten his grip on Su Fangli's wrist and observe her expression with a sense of uneasiness that he himself didn't realize.
The girl's eyes lit up surprisingly. Her face paled for a moment, then turned an angry red.
But she is obviously much more rational than He Chenghuan.
Su Fangli closed her eyes, leveled her tone, and tried her best to speak without any emotion:
"Let go, I want to go into the palace."
"Why?" He Chenghuan tightened his grip and asked.
Su Fangli took a deep breath and said in confusion: "Why?"
Are they some kind of close friends that she even has to report where she's going?
Su Fangli felt a little out of control, but she deliberately didn't think about the source behind it.
He Chenghuan: "You are the 'Village Master', why do you want to enter the palace?"
Su Fangli sighed: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has time to seize the throne instead of always making things difficult for me."
"Do you think this is embarrassing?"
He Chenghuan took a few steps closer, and Su Fangli was forced to retreat. Her back was against the wall, completely covered by the man, unable to dodge or break free.
Su Fangli could only sigh again. She said in a gentle voice, "Your Highness, I have reasons to go to the palace to see His Majesty. Considering my contributions to the village, please don't embarrass me any further."
As she spoke, she raised her head, wanting the other person to see her serious expression, but when He Chenghuan saw her looking at him, he immediately turned his head away and didn't even look at her.
He Chenghuan's tone was filled with subtle complaints: "What kind of relationship do you have with that man that would be worth your risking your life to go to the palace to see him at this moment? If I hadn't brought you out first, you would probably have been skewered and roasted by the foreigners by now."
How could it be so exaggerated? Su Fangli complained in her heart. She had no other choice but to say, "Your Majesty once saved me."
Seeing that He Chenghuan didn't believe it, Su Fangli continued: "Not here, but in my hometown. He caught me when I was injured, so that I wouldn't fall into a puddle of mud..."
She said a lot in a self-deprecating manner, and spoke out the worries that she had kept in her heart and had no one to confide in since she traveled through time, without noticing the sudden change in He Chenghuan's expression.
Su Fangli didn't hear He Chenghuan speak for a long time, so she struggled to break free from his grip. "I'm going anyway. It's no use trying to stop me. I'll run."
"A destiny fortune-telling shop." He Chenghuan said.
Su Fangli opened her eyes wide: "What?"
He Chenghuan recalled, "This is fate. We offer services such as tarot readings, astrology, pendulum readings, horoscope analysis, fortune-changing advice, marriage predictions, spiritual counseling, psychological counseling, baby naming, and energy items. Please feel free to call us for inquiries."
A string of words that absolutely could not appear here came out of He Chenghuan's mouth smoothly. Su Fangli even forgot to continue struggling. She looked up blankly and watched He Chenghuan recite the advertising slogan of his fortune-telling shop word by word.
Words she hadn't thought of in a long time.
"You...how could you..." she murmured.
Seeing her like this, He Chenghuan felt a surge of anger in his heart, like a balloon that had been left for too long and was starting to leak air. The deflated balloon pressed against his chest, soft and a little warm.
He raised his hand and tucked the strands of hair on the side of Su Fang's face behind her ear, and spoke with a hint of sarcasm:
"Have you forgotten? You were the one who threw me here."
After hearing this, Su Fangli's face immediately turned red. She thought of herself falling from the third floor and He Chenghuan reaching out and looking up to catch her. Her mind was a little confused.
wrong.
Su Fangli suddenly remembered something and asked suspiciously, "But your appearance..."
"I skipped a blind date that day and asked my brother to go in my place. We swapped looks."
"You also have a younger brother in modern times." Su Fangli said.
He Chenghuan nodded: "Yes, twins, they look similar."
Su Fangli also nodded. She felt a little dizzy after suddenly accepting this.
When the two met suddenly, they both looked at each other in silence with their eyes lowered, each thinking about something in their heads.
"Thank you for saving me." After a while, Su Fangli lowered her eyes and whispered. It turned out that her feeling at that time was right.
After knowing why Su Fangli wanted to go to the palace to find He Hongli, He Chenghuan no longer minded her sneaking over. Instead, he asked her, "Are you still going to the palace?"
Su Fangli shook her head. "But you won't make things difficult for him, will you? He didn't do anything."
He Chenghuan: "Why would I make things difficult for him? Do you think I'm trying to usurp the throne?"
Su Fangli didn't say anything, but He Chenghuan somehow saw what she was thinking.
"I'm just avenging this body of mine." He Chenghuan said, "I haven't even thanked you for the evidence. Without it, I'd probably have to divert my attention to dealing with the aliens."
The two of them compared the cause and effect of what happened here, and He Chenghuan asked softly, "What are your plans for the future?"
Su Fangli didn't think twice and said, "Of course I'll go back." Back to the modern era.
"Do you have a method?" He Chenghuan raised his eyebrows.
Su Fangli nodded: "I have a guess, but it needs to be verified." As she spoke, she couldn't help but worry.
Before, she always thought that it was the imperial teacher who changed her fate so that she could not control her body. Such a mysterious method might give her the opportunity to return to the modern era.
But Ye Zhihui said that she was poisoned, and the reason was not so mysterious.
Su Fangli couldn't help but worry now. If the Imperial Master really didn't have that much ability and was just pretending to be a ghost, would she still have a chance to return to the modern era?
She frowned and was deep in thought. He Chenghuan did not disturb her and stood quietly by her side.
Look at her face.
The woman seemed to have changed a lot since they first met. What impressed He Chenghuan the most was her appearance when she was wearing blindfolded sunglasses.
Very cute.
"By the way, you said before that the national teacher escaped?" Su Fangli asked.
He Chenghuan hummed, "When we entered the palace, he had already escaped through the secret passage of the Imperial Observatory." He then asked tentatively, "Does your plan to return require a national advisor?"
"I guess so." Su Fangli was not sure whether the thing that the Imperial Master used to change his fate was the jade plate. Anyway, she could not escape the responsibility of traveling through time and space to see the Imperial Master.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Can I go to the Imperial Observatory to take a look?"
He Chenghuan naturally wouldn't refuse and immediately said, "Of course, let's go now?"
He led the horse over, climbed on it, and stretched out his arms towards Su Fangli.
When the tall man lowered his eyes, the light in his eyes was brighter than the sunlight behind him. Su Fangli was stunned for a moment and stretched out his hand.
"Ah." Su Fangli was pulled onto the horse's back and accidentally let out a short cry.
The man's hands were dry and large, much warmer than her body temperature, and felt a bit hot in this winter.
Su Fangli sat in front of him, with his arms around her.
For some reason, my face felt hot.
Ma hadn't walked far when Su Fangli suddenly remembered her equipment: "My lottery box."
He Chenghuan picked up a cloth bag from the horse's flank and handed something to Su Fangli: "Here, your lottery box."
"Why is it with you?" Su Fangli took it and began to shuffle the cards for divination. She had thought it was left at her residence.
He Chenghuan had seen her fortune-telling before, and seeing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this the method you use in modern times?"
"Yeah." Su Fangli replied, "Actually, it's not the divination I told you about before, it's called Tarot."
He Chenghuan knew nothing about this stuff. A friend of his once believed in it, and when he told him about it, he was ridiculed. He rubbed his nose, thinking he must not let on that he didn't believe in tarot divination, lest Su Fangli get upset.
However, Su Fangli had already seen through his thoughts and said with a smile: "But didn't Your Highness say that this is all feudal superstition."
He Chenghuan chuckled and did not defend himself.
The horses were not moving fast, and He Chenghuan blocked the cold wind from all around. Su Fangli drew the lot steadily, and when she found a good result, her mood brightened a little.
It looks like she'll be able to go home soon.
The two came to the Imperial Observatory, and Su Fangli entered the imperial master's residence and began to look for the jade plate.
There were many jade plates, but most of them had been smashed into countless pieces and could not be put together. Su Fangli also found many blank, uncarved jade plates. She thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, so she packed them up and took them away.
But the Imperial Master arranged for me to marry He Hongli, personally officiated the wedding, and left on time. What was his intention?
Su Fangli looked back at He Chenghuan who was talking to his subordinates, and decided to ask for divination if there was anything he didn't understand.
- "Where is the Imperial Master?"
She read the question to herself and drew three cards.
- Seven of Cups
-"hermit"
- "Two of Cups"
The Seven of Cups represents confusion, the Hermit represents the search for the truth, and the Two of Cups indicates that the person you are really looking for is actually right in front of you, but is only confused by the Seven of Cups...
He Chenghuan happened to finish his instructions and walked over.
Su Fangli raised her eyes and asked him, "Did you enter the palace with your uncle's men?"
He Chenghuan: "Yes. But we didn't go through the same city gate." He understood Su Fangli's meaning and explained carefully: "The imperial city is surrounded, and the Imperial Master can only escape through the secret passage."
Su Fangli looked at the three cards in her hand and couldn't help holding her breath.
"Do you think it's possible that the Imperial Master didn't actually leave the palace?"
