Birds on the edge of the abyss 23
He rolled his eyes and knelt on one knee.
"I will leave for Meizhou today and bid farewell to Your Highness."
Chu Xin raised an eyebrow, then said cheerfully, "Then go ahead, what are you waiting for?"
Jian Can: ...
After Jian Can went out to pack his bags, Chu Xin glanced at Bu Nan, who was looking very depressed, and said with a smile, "It's okay. Jian Can is just like that. Besides, he is my senior brother. It's okay to indulge him a little. You are also too stubborn. Don't take it too seriously. You will get used to it."
Bu Nan tightened his face and said solemnly, "I will remember your Highness's words."
Chu Xin shook his head helplessly, then looked at the eunuch who came in from outside the hall to report and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, Young Master Shen Changle is waiting outside the door," the eunuch said with his head down.
Chu Xin frowned slightly when she heard his exceptionally sharp and delicate voice, and waved her hand to signal him to come in. After a while, Shen Changle came in wearing a white dress. The white dress made of fine brocade material made the young man look as gentle as jade.
Chu Xin's eyes lit up, and he stared intently at the person who was slowly approaching. He smiled and said, "Come sit next to me."
Chen Changle looked at Bu Nan, who was staring at him coldly. Under the other party's pressure, he immediately knelt down and saluted. "Zhongguang pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I have come here today to say goodbye and go to Meizhou..."
"Stop talking, come and sit next to me." Chu Xin interrupted him and waved again.
Bu Nan was helpless now, so he left on his own, leaving the space for the two of them to get along. The door of the hall was closed, and the charcoal fire in the hall was extremely warm. Shen Changle walked to Chu Xin's side and slowly sat down.
He didn't know what he was involved in, but suddenly he groaned. Chu Xin saw this and noticed that his face was pale, which was different from usual. He immediately said distressedly, "But where are you hurt? Let me take a look."
After that, he was about to lift up Shen Changle's clothes. Shen Changle didn't even think about it and slapped Chu Xin's big hand away.
With a "slap" sound, looking at Chu Xin's stiff hand and the red mark on the back of his hand, he immediately realized that his behavior was a bit too extreme. He pinched his collar, forced a smile, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Prince Brother, Chongguang is not used to too close contact with people."
After saying this, he stepped back again. This time, the wound was probably more serious. He immediately covered his chest with his hands, frowned and gasped in pain. The pain made his forehead tremble. Chu Xin glanced at his hands and then at Shen Changle, who was too concealing his behavior. His eyes suddenly turned cold in a place where the other party could not see.
"Is that so? It's my fault. I didn't know Chongguang had such a habit." Chu Xin said lightly, turned around and took out a few bottles of ointment from a small box beside her and placed them in front of Shen Changle.
"I asked you to come and sit down. I originally wanted to see if the wound on your face has healed. It seems that you have recovered well." Chu Xinjin's eyes turned and she smiled slightly at the other person's fair and smooth cheek.
"Brother Crown Prince..." Chen Changle raised his head and met Chu Xin's eyes. One pair of eyes was full of emotion, the other was full of smiles. Both were false, but the atmosphere was particularly warm.
"Meizhou is in chaos, the refugees are rioting, and the local government can no longer stop them. So when you go there, you must stay close to my subordinates," Chu Xin instructed, pushing the bottles of ointment forward and looking at the young man's puzzled eyes, he said,
"These ointments are for emergency use. If you get hurt, applying them will quickly stop bleeding and form scabs." Chu Xin pointed at the ointments, explained their uses and effects, and then told Chen Changle to put them away.
"Thank you, Prince." Shen Changle put away the ointment and was about to throw himself into Chu Xin's arms and act like a spoiled child, but suddenly he remembered that he had just pushed Chu Xin away. He stopped awkwardly and retracted his hand awkwardly for a long time, not daring to speak.
Chu Xin pretended not to see it and didn't care much.
Seeing Chu Xin hanging his head and saying nothing, Shen Changle touched his chest which was still aching, and said in a low voice:
"Brother Crown Prince, did my brother mention Chongguang when we met?"
"Not yet," Chu Xin said casually as he stretched out his red pen and circled the memorial. He sneered in his heart at the sight of Shen Changle's lost expression. He did not comfort him as before. Today, he did not have that mood. He felt that when he looked at him now, he did not have the same excitement as before. Instead, he felt a hint of indifference and obscure expectation.
What are you expecting? Are you expecting the other person to reveal their true intentions so that you can end this unspoken relationship? Ha, ridiculous.
Chu Xin heavily drew a dark cross on another memorial, his golden eyes gloomy.
Shen Changle sat for a while and then stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, the atmosphere between the two was not as sweet as it was at the beginning, but rather a little awkward. In the second half, Shen Changle mentioned the three words Shen Luli repeatedly, and he kept saying "brother" every three sentences, which really annoyed Chu Xin.
The originally warm and beautiful farewell ended abruptly
When the others disappeared completely, Chu Xin exhaled and threw the pen directly to the ground. The red pen had been severely deformed by Chu Xin. It was obvious that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not a clay figure without temper. It was just that he couldn't lose his temper in front of Shen Changle.
Chu Xin did not see them off until they set out from Yuding Gate.
After lunch, Chu Xin took a short rest and asked the palace servants to change into a new set of apricot yellow clothes. After combing her hair, she took the phoenix carriage to Yongtai Palace where the emperor was.
Le Luo walked aside and whispered, "Master Shen has entered the palace. He is currently being searched by the Imperial Guards in front of Xuanwu Gate. He will arrive at Yongtai Palace in about three incense sticks."
"Well, where is the emperor?" Chu Xin couldn't bear to hear the three words "Shen Luli" anymore, so he lay on the carriage with his head raised and said
"Your Majesty is in Ganquan Palace, and the chief steward is guarding outside. No one else can enter," Le Luo said.
"Heh." Chu Xin opened his eyes and looked at the red walls of the deep palace. It was deep and long, with no end in sight. He didn't know how people who had lived in it for decades could survive.
"Master Shen rushed here as soon as he woke up. Maybe he is still a little weak. Does he need a servant to help him?" Le Luo asked again, looking at Chu Xin who was looking at the scenery silently, with a worried look in his eyes.
"How come I don't know when you've cared so much about someone? And this person is just a stranger I've only met a few times." Chu Xin said cryptically.
Le Luo smiled and looked straight ahead. "Just as His Highness said yesterday, a beauty will be loved by everyone. I am also a common person, so I can't avoid being common. I should pity Mr. Shen's body."
Chu Xin was choked by her, and the face of Shen Luli appeared in his mind. He sighed and said, "I agree, you can go there now."
"Thank you, Your Highness, I will leave from here." Le Luo covered her mouth and smiled, then left the team, walked to the side and bowed, watching Chu Xin's car disappear in front of her eyes, then turned around and walked towards that side, with a brisk pace.
