Am I some kind of jinx?
Why are they all avoiding me?
That's one thing, but even if they wanted to skip class, couldn't they at least come up with a more reasonable excuse?
Just before Liang Xuanjing could react, Li Chang'an spoke again, "In that case, the Regent and I will take our leave first. Young Master Liang, we'll meet again next time!"
"you……"
Liang Xuanjing was so angry that he stomped his feet, but he had only managed to utter two words when he saw Li Chang'an pull Feng Beichuan and the other two away without looking back.
"Tch, plenty of people want to hang out with me. I don't need two more!"
Watching the two figures recede into the distance, Liang Xuanjing couldn't help but purse his lips, and then, as if in a huff, he turned and walked away in the opposite direction.
Li Chang'an and Feng Bei ran for a while before stopping when they felt they had run enough.
Only then did Li Chang'an realize that his palms were burning hot. Looking down, he couldn't help but shudder.
When they were running away, she naturally and casually took Feng Beichuan's hand, and the two of them ran all the way without ever letting go of each other's hands.
At that moment, Feng Beichuan was looking down at the two people's clasped hands, seemingly lost in thought.
"Ahem... Well, I'll be going now."
For some reason, Li Chang'an suddenly felt a pang of panic. He then shook off the other person's hand as if he had been electrocuted, coughed lightly twice to appear calm, and prepared to leave.
When Li Chang'an turned his head, he realized that his cheeks felt strangely hot.
"Wait a moment."
Just then, Feng Beichuan suddenly called out to her.
Li Chang'an immediately snapped out of his daze, then turned around and asked in a nonchalant tone, "Is there anything else?"
Feng Beichuan thought for a moment, feeling somewhat annoyed. In truth, he didn't know what he wanted to say; he was just reflexively trying not to let the other person leave.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke in a serious tone: "I just wanted to say thank you for what happened just now."
For some reason, ever since the conflict between the two in the court, even though Li Chang'an seemed indifferent in the end, and her attitude was as she herself said, she did not show any resentment, Feng Beichuan still couldn't help but think about it.
Whenever he thinks about this, he feels as if a spice jar has been shattered in his heart; the feeling is indescribable.
Unbeknownst to him, he seemed to have become increasingly cautious in his attitude towards Li Chang'an.
Looking at the awkward man in front of him, Li Chang'an couldn't help but chuckle. He then said casually, "Your Highness is too kind. It's just a small matter, nothing to mention. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
At this moment, Feng Beichuan felt as if his heart was being scratched by a cat. He racked his brains, just wanting to find a legitimate reason to spend more time with Li Chang'an.
If this had happened in the past, he might have been able to shamelessly pester the other party with all sorts of rambling and irrelevant arguments.
But now, no matter what, I just can't bring myself to say it.
Thinking of this, Feng Beichuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, a bitter feeling welling up in his heart.
What common ground do these two have that can still be discussed today?
At this point, Feng Beichuan realized something terrifying—after letting go of his own wishful thinking, it seemed that there was really nothing connecting him and this woman anymore.
Even so, Feng Beichuan was still unwilling to give up, and he could not let go. In order not to let this fleeting opportunity slip away, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, could you please not leave yet?"
Although he hadn't yet come up with a reason for not letting them leave, Feng Beichuan didn't have time to look for one.
The most important thing now is to keep people here.
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly and ask, "Is there anything else, Regent?"
Seeing the woman's selfless demeanor, Feng Beichuan couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, thinking, "Can't she spend time with me if there's nothing else going on?"
wrong.
In this situation, it should be me who wants to spend time with her!
Unfortunately, Feng Beichuan could only keep these thoughts to himself; when it came to his lips, he simply said that he did have something to discuss with Li Chang'an.
"It's like this, I suddenly remembered that three days have passed, and Yan Qianhe should have brought the antidote by now? Would you like to come with me to the Regent's Palace..."
"Walk."
Before Feng Beichuan could finish speaking, Li Chang'an agreed without hesitation.
At this moment, it was Li Chang'an's turn to feel uneasy—he had actually forgotten such an important thing!
Li Chang'an, Li Chang'an, what exactly is going on in your head?
Perhaps it was because people's ability to heal themselves was too strong, because Li Chang'an felt heartbroken whenever she thought about Zhuque, so in order to avoid being too sad and upset, she simply put the matter aside and stopped thinking about it.
As expected, now that Feng Beichuan has brought up the matter again, Li Chang'an feels a tightness in his chest.
However, Feng Beichuan felt a sense of joy, but also a sense of shame. He had actually stooped so low as to try to tie Fang to him with such a thing.
well……
Hopefully, Suzaku can escape danger this time!
The two then rushed to the Regent's Palace.
Sure enough, as soon as the two entered the room where Zhuque was lying, they saw Yan Qianhe sitting at the table with his legs crossed.
Beside her stood Cangyun, who was chattering incessantly about something.
"Didn't you promise that the antidote would be ready in three days? Why can't you do it now! If you couldn't do it, you shouldn't have made that promise in the first place. We could have just asked someone else for help! Now look what's happened, so much time has been wasted, and we haven't accomplished anything..."
"Alright! Why are you, a grown man, acting like a gossipy old woman? Who said the antidote is ineffective? What do you know! The poison from the Dark Night Pavilion is no ordinary poison. I've worked so hard for these past three days, I've even lost my hair. If you're so capable, then you do it!"
At this moment, Yan Qianhe and Cang Yun were locked in a tense standoff, their positions seemingly irreconcilable.
Normally, Li Chang'an and Feng Beichuan would have been amazed by this, since they both knew that Cang Yun avoided Yan Qianhe like the plague, let alone confronted her directly like this.
