As Xun Cheng walked out of the room, he saw Princess Qinyang standing in the courtyard.
Hearing the sound, she turned around, but a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.
"Um...are you guys finished? Ye Si said that he gave you a big gift this time and he must treat you to a big meal. Now the dishes are served, and he's waiting for you."
Xun Cheng smiled, "As I should."
Not to mention a meal, even more is fine.
Princess Qinyang coughed a few times and couldn't help but look inside again.
"What about him? Just leave him here alone?"
"There are guards all around, so you won't get lost. Don't worry."
Xun Cheng came to her side, took a step, and turned his head.
"Or... do you want to go talk to him too?"
"No need!" Princess Qinyang immediately refused.
Are you kidding? What could she and Shui Xingqiu have to talk about? At most, they'd discuss how to make his death more painful.
Princess Qinyang immediately followed, but couldn't help but secretly look at Xun Cheng.
This went on several times before Xun Cheng was the first to speak.
"Are we really alike?"
"ah?"
Princess Qinyang didn't react for a moment, hesitating,
"It seems, it seems not..."
A smile appeared in Xun Cheng's eyes.
"When I was a kid, people often said that. I thought after so many years, they wouldn't look much alike anymore, but it seems blood ties are really quite magical."
Princess Qinyang was completely stunned.
"I, I really didn't mean to eavesdrop! I swear—"
"I know."
She was a person who showed everything on her face. When Xun Cheng came out and saw her expression, he knew that she must have heard everything.
Otherwise, with her personality, she wouldn't be so awkward.
But Xun Cheng didn't mind.
"You can't choose your birthplace," he said calmly, smiling. "But you can choose what kind of person you want to be."
Somehow, Princess Qinyang felt inexplicably sad when she heard his light-hearted words.
"Then..." She hesitated and spoke boldly, "Is your body okay now?"
Xun Cheng: “…”
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "...You should trust Miss Ye Si's medical skills, right?"
"Yes, yes! I almost forgot, it was she who saved you!" Princess Qinyang breathed a sigh of relief, the worry on her face completely dissipated. Her almond eyes curved into a bright smile, "Then there will definitely be no problem!"
Xun Cheng: “…Yeah.”
Princess Qinyang knew that he had indirectly confessed his identity to her, and all her previous puzzles now had answers.
She was also filled with emotion.
However, Xun Cheng didn't seem interested in continuing to talk about this, so she didn't ask any more questions.
What’s past is past.
"Ye Si is known for being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. I heard from Chu Tang that you can drink quite well too?" Princess Qinyang was full of curiosity.
Xun Cheng looked strange.
Ye Chutang said he has a good alcohol tolerance?
I'm afraid that's not a compliment... Wasn't it just that you were a little slow to pay for the drinks the first few times?
"Not bad," he said.
Princess Qinyang suddenly came over, her eyes shining.
"Then—why don't we have a competition today to see who can drink the most?"
Xun Cheng: “……???”
…
Capital city, imperial palace.
Shen Yanchuan was investigating a case when he was urgently summoned to the palace.
After arriving, he found that several cabinet ministers were there, with serious expressions and a hint of anger.
He frowned slightly, "Why is Your Majesty so angry?"
Xiao Chengqi's face was as cold as ice.
"Xiao Chenglin is truly insane! After three battles with King Yannan and three losses, he actually turned around and attacked Fengdu at night! The Fengdu garrison surrendered voluntarily, hoping he would spare the people in the city, but do you know what he did?"
Xiao Chengqi gritted his teeth.
"He massacred the city!" (End of this chapter)
