But after feeling ashamed, Suzaku couldn't help but think of the absurd things that a certain culprit had done, and then gritted his teeth and said, "It's all that wretched guy's fault. He can't do anything right except make things difficult for me!"
Li Chang'an naturally understood what Zhuque meant by "adding to the troubles," and then he couldn't help but recall the scene he had witnessed last night, and a faint smile crept onto his lips.
Just then, a familiar figure appeared in front of the two of them again.
Upon seeing the person in front of him, Li Chang'an couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself that one really shouldn't talk about others behind their backs.
"Hey, you're all here! Perfect timing! Where did you all go? I've been looking everywhere for you!"
Cangyun was busy making a ruckus, completely unaware of the different expressions on Li Chang'an and Zhuque's faces.
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an glanced at Cangyun, then subtly glanced at Zhuque beside him, and secretly pondered how to break the awkward silence.
But before she could figure it out, Zhuque said irritably, "I have something to do, I'm leaving first."
Li Chang'an naturally knew that this person's excuse was just that he wanted to avoid Cangyun, so she simply nodded and let Zhuque shake her head as she walked out of the courtyard.
"Why are you leaving as soon as I arrive? We've worked together for so long, do you really dislike me that much?!"
Seeing this, Cangyun hurriedly ran over and stood in front of Zhuque, saying something that sounded very aggrieved.
We're doomed!
Seeing that the man was relentlessly pursuing him, Li Chang'an couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
As expected, when Zhuque saw Cangyun's shameless appearance, she naturally remembered what happened the night before. As she thought about it, the blood in her body began to surge to the top of her head again.
Anger was about to erupt.
Suzaku felt she couldn't bear to look at this person any longer, so she raised her chin, crossed her arms, and said irritably, "I'm leaving! I just don't like you, so what? Who do you think you are?"
Faced with this barrage of questions, Cang Yun was momentarily stunned and couldn't understand why this person was so angry with him.
Now, Cangyun's mood, which he had finally managed to adjust, turned gloomy again. He was as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant and didn't even have the energy to speak.
Am I really someone she dislikes?
Cangyun suddenly felt as if a knife had been plunged into his chest, causing him excruciating pain. However, his strong sense of pride prevented him from showing any distress. He simply stepped back to make way for Zhuque.
"snort!"
Zhuque remained unconvinced, still wearing a sour face, and snorted coldly before turning to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Just then, Li Chang'an suddenly interrupted and called out to Zhuque.
Upon hearing this, Zhuque paused in her steps, then turned to look at Li Chang'an with some confusion.
Upon seeing this, Li Chang'an immediately stepped forward with a calm and composed expression on his face, and said, "Don't rush off yet. Let's hear what Cangyun wants to talk to us about first."
After hearing this, Zhuque had no choice but to reluctantly turn back.
This time, however, she retreated behind Li Chang'an, wanting to stay as far away from Cang Yun as possible.
Not only that, she also turned her face away from the person to avoid feeling angry but having nowhere to vent her frustration.
Cang Yun naturally saw her little actions, but because Li Chang'an was still there and he wasn't there to argue, he simply pretended not to see them and suppressed his displeasure.
Li Chang'an sensed the tense atmosphere between the two and felt very uncomfortable, but no matter how much she wanted to mediate, she could only touch on the surface.
After gathering his thoughts, Cangyun said seriously, "Your Highness, it is the Prince who is looking for you. When I left the General's Mansion, I heard from the maid that you had left. I wonder where you went?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an felt somewhat confused, and then asked with a puzzled expression, "What does Feng Beichuan want with me? I went out to take care of some things this morning and just got back."
After saying that, Chang'an noticed a fleeting unnatural look on Cangyun's face, so he quickly asked, "Has something happened again?"
But to everyone's surprise, Cangyun coughed twice in embarrassment upon hearing this, then waved his hand and said, "No, that's not true."
"Then why are you all looking for me?"
Li Chang'an couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask in return.
"This is really strange. I think you're just too idle. Has the Prince not assigned you any tasks lately?"
Zhuque couldn't help but interject somewhat irritably, her words full of disdain, each one barbed and piercing.
This time, Cangyun could no longer hold back. He immediately retorted without any mercy, "What do you know? Aren't I doing the mission assigned by my master right now? As for you, are you out of your mind? Otherwise, why are you always picking on me today?"
"If I've taken the wrong medicine, then you're beyond saving! Tell me, what exactly did the Prince assign you? Did he just send you here to spout nonsense?"
Suzaku's anger was instantly ignited, and she immediately retorted without any politeness.
War was imminent, and Li Chang'an, as an observer, was completely baffled.
Then she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, lamenting that the harmonious atmosphere she had so desperately wanted to maintain had ultimately been shattered.
"You woman, you're absolutely unreasonable!"
"So what if I'm unreasonable? Do you think you're so great?"
She had only been distracted for a moment when she realized that the two of them were arguing fiercely. She immediately felt a headache coming on and wanted to persuade them, but found that she was powerless to speak.
Just then, Chun Tao was also drawn over by the commotion in the courtyard.
"Madam, what... what happened? Sister Zhuque, she..."
Chun Tao stared in disbelief as Zhu Que argued fiercely with a man she had never seen before, and then, somewhat frightened, she moved closer to Li Chang'an.
"Oh, it's alright, you can go back to what you're doing!"
Li Chang'an couldn't help but let out a deep sigh, then waved his hand weakly at Chun Tao.
"Oh, well, I'm off then..."
Chun Tao nodded, somewhat puzzled, and before leaving, she turned back to look at Zhuque and Cangyun again.
