He Chenghuan personally stripped off the annoying red wedding dress from his body, wiped the dust off his hands, and then threw it away in disgust.
"Your Majesty is tired," he said.
Palace maids immediately came forward, one on each side, seemingly supporting He Hongli, but actually holding him up.
"What are you crazy about?" He Hongli struggled but failed to break free, and shouted angrily with gritted teeth.
His royal brother had been known for his madness before, but he didn't expect that after such a long time, he had not calmed down at all, but had become even crazier than before.
He Chenghuan waved his hand, and He Hongli was immediately taken to the side.
He walked up to Su Fangli.
The girl in gorgeous dress stood quietly, as if frightened by the scene just now, with her head slightly lowered, and a small bunch of bright red hydrangea in her hand.
"How are you?" He Chenghuan's voice was very soft, and his face showed undisguised caution.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, he raised his hand again, put his index finger and middle finger together to pick up the coral tassels blocking her way.
The girl's cheeks were pale, with a hint of red on them. I couldn't tell if it was rouge or the color reflected from her wedding dress.
He Chenghuan's tone was inexplicably aggrieved: "Don't you have anything to say to me? I've been looking for you for a long time. The Imperial Master...didn't give you any trouble, did he?"
He stared at Su Fangli's face, not missing a single expression on her face. But to his disappointment, Su Fangli remained indifferent, with only her eyes trembling occasionally.
Su Fangli couldn't speak and could only control her eyes to look at the man opposite her.
There was still obvious smoke and blood on his body, which seemed to indicate that entering the palace was not as easy as it appeared.
"No problem. Let's get down to business first." Without waiting for Su Fangli's response, he stood up with a normal expression, gently took the hydrangea from her hand, and threw it away. The hydrangea rolled to He Hongli's feet. He Hongli was so angry that his eyes turned red. He gritted his teeth and said, "He, Cheng, Huan."
He Chenghuan had no expression on his face and completely ignored him.
At this time, a man hurried in and was stunned by the atmosphere of confrontation in the hall.
Ji Lichuan paused and looked at He Chenghuan: "Your Highness, the Imperial Preceptor seems to have run away. Your uncle wants you to come over and discuss things."
"Run away?" He Chenghuan's face suddenly turned ugly. He turned around and glanced at Su Fangli, who was looking down and silent. After thinking for a moment, he whispered to her, "Wait here for me. I'll be back soon."
Ji Lichuan stood at the entrance of the palace, watching He Chenghuan walk away. When he could no longer see him, he walked over to Su Fangli.
Without saying a word, he took Su Fangli's hand and tried to lead her away.
"Where are you taking my queen?" He Hongli said angrily.
Ji Lichuan seemed to have just noticed that there was this person here. He looked him up and down and shrugged without saying anything.
Su Fangli's body was stiff and she couldn't react, so Ji Lichuan let go of her hand and simply put his arm around her waist and led her past He Hongli.
She also kicked the hydrangea at his feet away.
"Let me go!" Behind him, He Hongli struggled hard.

At this moment, there was also chaos outside the palace. Soldiers holding spears and short swords and palace maids carrying bundles could be seen everywhere. Ji Lichuan was so focused on leaving as soon as possible that he didn't notice Su Fangli's abnormality beside him.
"Don't be afraid, hold on for a while. As long as you leave the imperial city, my carriage will be outside." Before Ji Lichuan finished speaking, he suddenly stopped.
The gate of the imperial city was wide open at this moment, with no one guarding it, only a black figure standing there.
The man's soft armor shone brightly in the sunlight. He leaned against the wall with one leg, folded his arms, and closed his eyes to rest. He noticed footsteps, but before he opened his eyes, he chuckled softly, "Here they come."
"It's you." Ji Lichuan was alert and raised his arm to block Su Fangli behind him.
"No need to block it." Cen Xiaying raised her head and her gaze fell directly behind Ji Lichuan, as if she could see the woman behind him through him.
"You know how to find an opportunity." Cen Xiaying lowered her legs and walked over, the scabbard on her waist rubbing against the soft armor making a slight sound. "Where do you want to take our queen?"
"What queen?" Ji Lichuan frowned. He looked back at Su Fangli and asked her unconfidently, "Will you go with me? Do you want to see Grandma Fang and the puppy? They miss you very much." I miss you too.
"What's wrong with you?" Cen Xiaying was only a few steps away from them, drawing her sword as she spoke. "She's the daughter of Prime Minister Fang. How can she be called a relative or mother-in-law from the countryside?"
Ji Lichuan was forced to retreat with Su Fangli. At this time, a series of tense horse hoofbeats were getting closer and closer behind them.
The two of them turned around, their expressions frozen.
He Chenghuan had already seen the situation here clearly. Without saying a word, he rode his horse quickly closer, leaned over and pulled Su Fangli onto the horse.
He hugged the person in front of him tightly, swung the reins heavily with his arm, and threw the other two to the ground without mercy.
The girl in front of him bumped into his arms, knocking her hair loose. At this moment, her hair was blown up by the wind, brushing against He Chenghuan's Adam's apple, causing an unbearable itch.
He almost coughed out loud, but could only try his best to control himself, trying hard to maintain a posture that was not too deliberate in hugging the person in his arms, so deliberate that the muscles in his arms were twitching.
Su Fangli didn't ask him where he was taking her, nor did she panic. Does this mean that she trusts him very much?
The horse galloped all the way, and He Chenghuan couldn't help but think in his heart.
After running for an unknown amount of time, they stopped in front of a big gate.
The carved red-painted plaque looks brand new, and you can even smell the paint.
"We're here." He Chenghuan dismounted, carefully brought Su Fangli down, and helped her stand steadily.
Su Fangli seemed a little uncomfortable. After getting off the horse, they faced each other and her head rested lightly on his chest.
He Chenghuan's heart was beating fast. He wanted to take her in, but he didn't want to miss the rare opportunity to be close to her.
"Let's go in first." After a long time, he made up his mind and took a half step back, then took Su Fangli's arm and led her to push the door and walk into the house.
"I sent people to do the repairs here and have tried my best to restore it." He Chenghuan said nervously.
If Su Fangli could control her body, she would be able to see the brand new plaque hanging on the gate of the mansion before entering, with "Fang Mansion" written on it.
But she couldn't move, she could only stand there with her head down, taking a step when she was pulled.
He Chenghuan took her around and told her in detail what had happened during the time they were separated.
His voice became softer and softer, and after his heartbeat calmed down without anyone disturbing it, He Chenghuan could no longer ignore Su Fangli's long silence.
"What's wrong with you?" He pressed Su Fangli's shoulders, lifted her chin with one hand, and asked her to look at him: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Su Fangli's expression was calm, and her fair chin was left with his fingerprints.
In her light brown pupils, He Chenghuan saw that his face was becoming increasingly gloomy and darker.
Getting uglier and uglier.
"You..." He was obviously trying to control his unreasonable temper, "You must be tired, go inside and rest first."
He Chenghuan settled Su Fangli down and walked out of the room alone.
He stared at his palm, where a hint of the other person's body temperature still remained.
"how's it going?"
He Chenghuan came back to his senses and looked at the person in front of him. Ye Zhihui approached with a bag in his hand, and he raised his hand to take it.
He Chenghuan: "Are they all here?"
Ye Zhihui: "Yeah." He paused and continued: "I only took the ones I had seen before."
The bundle contained Su Fangli's belongings, including the tools she used for divination. The two of them agreed that He Chenghuan would go find someone while he went to find Su Fangli's belongings. However, Ye Zhihui saw that He Chenghuan looked very bad and asked inexplicably, "But what happened?"
He Chenghuan said nothing, silently carrying his bag into the house. Seeing this, Ye Zhihui followed.
He opened the bundle and took it to Su Fangli, but she didn't even look at him.
She sat motionless, just as she had been when she first entered the room, her hands clasped in her lap, her shoulders hunched and her head lowered, a few strands of hair blocking her eyes. She was as silent as a lifeless puppet.
"What's wrong with her?" Ye Zhihui turned around and looked at He Chenghuan in confusion.
He Chenghuan subconsciously tilted his head and opened his mouth, not wanting to say anything because she didn't want to pay attention to him, so he could only keep a cold face.
Ye Zhihui had long been accustomed to his strange temper and thought that it was another person, so he did not try to guess what he was thinking and simply went closer to take a look.
"Your hair must be uncomfortable like this." He said gently, raising his hand to gently remove the hairpins in her hair one by one.
He Chenghuan swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and watched Ye Zhihui's actions quietly. He was so upset that he didn't notice Su Fangli's hair. It was his fault.
"How is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Ye Zhihui tied her hair into a bun again with a hairpin, and then asked softly.
The room was so quiet that only the breathing of a few people could be heard.
"Why do I feel..." Ye Zhihui murmured.
He Chenghuan looked over immediately: "What?"
Ye Zhihui: "She doesn't seem quite right. She hasn't moved for such a long time. Is she like... she's lost her soul?"
He Chenghuan stood up suddenly, walked over a few steps, and looked at the girl who was sitting there in a daze.
"Indeed." He Chenghuan frowned as he recalled, "When I found her just now, she was like this, stunned and didn't move at all."
He took a few steps on the spot, then suddenly said, "Is it the Imperial Master?"
Ye Zhihui didn't move his eyes away and looked at Su Fangli and said, "It's very likely. I see that except for her eyes, there is no movement anywhere else. The National Master now has this ability?" No wonder she married He Hongli.
"What ability? It's just a trick." He Chenghuan snorted disdainfully and pressed his hand on the scabbard at his side.
Now that he has figured out the source, he still has to start with the national teacher.
"But the Imperial Master has escaped and hasn't been found yet." He Chenghuan said as he walked out, "I'll go to the palace and see if I can capture a few of the Imperial Master's people."
Ye Zhihui nodded: "Okay, you go. I'll stay here with her."
He Chenghuan quickly left with the horse, and Ye Zhihui walked back to the house and sat next to Su Fangli.
The girl didn't look much different from the last time we parted, except that her face was paler and her chin was sharper.
I think I have suffered a lot during this period.
Ye Zhihui frowned, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart. He raised his hand and pushed Su Fangli's hair aside. Seeing her eyelashes flutter, he chuckled softly, "You can hear me, right?"
He was just talking to himself, but unexpectedly, Su Fangli actually blinked.
"Miss?" Ye Zhihui unconsciously moved closer and said seriously, "If you understand, blink three times."
Su Fangli's eyelashes fluttered.
one.
two.
three.
Ye Zhihui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but open his arms and hug the person in front of him.
He rested his chin on Su Fangli's slender shoulder and said in a trembling voice:
"Great, you can hear me."
