Chu Qingxuan looked at the high wall at her feet with some distress. She was willing to do anything to see Ruan Qingchen.
Just as she was about to jump, Chu Qingxuan caught a glimpse of a white shadow out of the corner of her eye. She looked up and saw Ruan Qingchen looking at her coldly below.
Chu Qingxuan smiled slightly and waved to Ruan Qingchen, "Ruan Qingchen, we meet again."
"What brings Your Majesty here today?"
Chu Qingxuan made a gesture like Er Kang and said, "Wait a moment, let's talk after I come down."
Ruan Qingchen: "..."
Ruan Qingchen frowned as she watched Chu Qingxuan struggle to climb down the wall, her expression changing slightly.
When they arrived, they only saw a purple figure standing on the wall. Upon closer inspection, they found it was their Empress.
Ruan Qingchen couldn't help but rub her temples.
This emperor seems to have a bit of a penchant for climbing walls.
After Chu Qingxuan landed, Ruan Qingchen stepped forward, bowed to Chu Qingxuan, and said, "Your Majesty."
Chu Qingxuan stopped Ruan Qingchen's movements and complained, "Ruan Qingchen, do you know how dutiful the guards at your gate are? They even dared to stop me, and said that if I were the Empress, they would be the Jade Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Qingchen hurriedly bowed and apologized, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will punish them immediately."
"No need, I am not such a petty person."
Ruan Qingchen: "..."
So, Your Majesty, what is your purpose in saying this?
Ruan Qingchen raised her eyes, her expression calm. Chu Qingxuan also looked at Ruan Qingchen and smiled slightly, "Ruan Qingchen, why don't you let me hide here for a while?"
Old Man Li would call her every day, asking her to choose a royal consort.
Although this old-fashioned woman meant well, she couldn't stand this kind of care.
After thinking it over, I think it's better to come to Ruan Qingchen's place.
Ruan Qingchen was the person she had the most contact with here.
Ruan Qingchen remained silent, while Chu Qingxuan chuckled softly and said calmly, "Ruan Qingchen, you don't need to worry about it. If you are unwilling, I will not force you."
Because Ruan Qingchen is the villain, Chu Qingxuan knows that she does treat Ruan Qingchen differently.
That's because he's the villain, so people subconsciously treat him well.
Since Ruan Qingchen was so resistant, she wouldn't take the initiative.
A glint of light flashed in Ruan Qingchen's deep phoenix eyes, and a slight ripple stirred in her heart, but her expression remained calm as she spoke.
As a subject, Ruan Qingchen advised the Empress, "Your Majesty, it is dangerous outside. You should return to the palace."
Chu Qingxuan refused and walked into the mansion, saying, "No need, I left the palace."
Chu Qingxuan turned to look at Ruan Qingchen and said, "I hope you won't expose me. I've had enough, so I'll go back."
Ruan Qingchen: "..."
Is it really a good idea for you to leave the palace and go to the home of a courtier?
"Your Majesty..." Ruan Qingchen chased after him.
As Chu Qingxuan walked, she said repeatedly, "Imperial Advisor, you said it's dangerous outside. I believe you, and with you here, I will not be in danger."
“Unless… you are the dangerous one.” Chu Qingxuan suddenly turned around, staring at Ruan Qingchen with a smile.
Ruan Qingchen's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "Your Majesty, please don't joke."
"That's it. Once Lord Li stops causing trouble in Qingchen Palace in a few days, I will naturally return."
Chu Qingxuan raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "If you want me to go back, you'd better settle things with Lord Li first."
Ruan Qingchen nodded helplessly.
However, Chu Qingxuan's reason for leaving the palace was not Ruan Qingchen, but rather that it was more convenient to go out and stroll around from here.
