"Xie Ling. Right?"
Mi Shan blinked at him, trying to find a hint of surprise on his face.
But no,
Li Changyu was surprisingly calm.
His voice was cold: "You shouldn't remember so much."
He did not deny it!
Mi Shan was startled, and surprise flashed in her clear eyes. In other words, he really did have that name.
Or rather, it used to be called that.
"Who exactly are you?" Mi Shan stammered, finally managing to ask the question.
Li Changyu remained indifferent, simply saying, "I told you, don't remember what you shouldn't remember. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
"This is to protect you."
Is it to protect her?
He was still protecting himself.
That was something he kept buried deep in his heart, something he was unwilling to easily show to others.
Mi Shan wasn't one to pry, and since Li Changyu had already said so, she didn't want to annoy anyone.
Silence returned between the two of them; they said nothing and simply sat there quietly.
Li Changyu's lips curved slightly upwards.
She actually remembered.
I was actually a little happy.
This inexplicable feeling.
However, the thought of the upcoming full moon still made my mood sink to the bottom.
Perhaps this is the only way they can go. If she finds out, on the night of the full moon... Li Changyu's eyes are silent, and the glimmer of light that just appeared gradually dims.
It returned to its cold state.
"Speaking of which, the moon is already quite full. In about a week, it will be the day you've been waiting for."
Mi Shan spoke again, breaking the silence.
"Are you really going to go after Li Shengyuan?"
"Um."
"Seizing military power was also part of your plan, wasn't it?"
"That's right."
"Tomorrow is the polo match, and vassal kings and envoys from various countries will be there. Li Xuanche will definitely fight you to the bitter end, so you must be careful."
After Mi Shan finished speaking, she saw Li Changyu frown slightly, looking at her with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Why are you talking to me so much today?
Mi Shan was taken aback, and her cheeks flushed red instantly.
what to do?
Are you being told you talk too much?
She had finally shown him some concern, and to be met with such words, Mi Shan felt both angry and ashamed.
"Then I'll go."
After she finished speaking, she stood up abruptly.
Let whoever wants to worry, worry all they want. She doesn't care anyway. Whether it's Li Changyu or Xie Ling, it's none of her business.
She didn't care whether he lived or died.
Seeing Mi Shan suddenly get up to leave, Li Changyu almost instinctively reached out and grabbed her hand.
The instant the two hands touched,
Mi Shan felt a burning sensation on the back of her hand.
As if burned by fire, their hands touched for only a moment before quickly letting go.
"What are you doing?"
Mi Shan blushed and stammered.
Li Changyu coughed lightly, unsure of what to do with his hands, and said in a cool voice, "I wanted to say thank you for your concern. I will be more careful tomorrow."
boom!
Mi Shan's face flushed even hotter, her whole body turning bright red. She took several steps back, saying, "Who, who cares about you? Stop being so narcissistic, I'm going back!"
After speaking, Mi Shan quickly retreated to a short distance away, quietly guarding A Chan, who was completely unaware of the situation.
I squeezed her arm.
"Come on, Achan, let's go back."
She walked very fast.
It felt like I wanted to escape this place.
Achan, puzzled, quickened her pace to follow her. Seeing her mistress's flushed face, a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.
What's wrong with Master?
He only exchanged a few words with the Crown Prince, and he reacted so strongly.
What exactly did the Crown Prince do to her?!
"Your Highness, something's wrong. Did the Crown Prince bully you?"
"No, Achan, don't overthink it. You're going out of town to take the exam tomorrow, so be careful and do your best."
"Okay, Achan will."
Achan nodded solemnly and, in a few words, put the matter behind her.
On the way back, we were lucky enough not to encounter any guards.
Only on the way to Yufu Palace did I see a royal physician carrying a medicine box, walking nervously towards Chengqian's palace.
He kept his head down and walked quickly through the darkness, as if afraid of being seen.
Mi Shan and A Chan also wisely hid behind a peach tree.
"Is he going to Consort Ru's palace?" Mi Shan whispered.
"Probably. It's so late, Princess Ru might not be feeling well." At this point, Achan couldn't help but sigh.
She was skilled in martial arts, and she always felt more empathy and pity for women like Consort Ru, who came from a military family.
"Princess Ru is so pitiful. If she hadn't married the emperor, she could have lived such a happy life."
"Now, the entire Bian family has been wiped out, leaving only her. She wants to die, but there is no way for her. She can only repeat her hopeless life day after day in this deep palace."
"Even if the emperor could regain his favor, what difference would it make? Her heart is already dead. Not to mention, the emperor falls in love with every woman he sees, and now his heart and eyes are only on Consort Feng. He has even temporarily abandoned Murong Wan."
It was rare for Achan to say something like this, which shows that she deeply resented it.
“This is what it’s like to marry into an imperial family,” Mi Shan said with a faint smile. “I also married the emperor.”
“Your Majesty is different. This servant can see that Your Majesty’s mind is not on the Emperor, or rather, Your Majesty’s heart is not filled with those romantic feelings.”
"However, tonight seems a bit different."
