Chapter 479 Extra - Farewell to His Highness
Amnesia?
Chen Ci raised his eyebrows slightly.
What's the meaning behind this?
Seeing his blank expression, Shu Tong explained again, "Your Highness, you are so busy with state affairs, you must have forgotten that I fell and hit my head a while ago, which caused me to lose my memory, right?"
Chen Ci neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply watched her quietly.
Shu Tong added, "After that, I lost my memory. I forgot not only my past, but also how to write with a brush, and I've forgotten most of the rules of our mansion."
Chen Ci was concerned about: "You don't remember anything related to medical skills?"
Shu Tong nodded: "I don't remember much."
Chen Ci: "..."
Well, we have absolutely nothing in common anymore.
He put his hands behind his back and said, "Alright, let's eat."
"Yes." Shu Tong curtsied and hurriedly greeted Chen Ci as they left the study. She then instructed Haitang to serve the meal.
...
With His Highness the Crown Prince present, the dinner was naturally very lavish, and several sweeter dishes were added to cater to Shu Tong's taste.
The two continued eating their food in silence, but Shu Tong still noticed something was amiss.
His Highness the Crown Prince ate quite a lot of sweets today.
Whether it was glutinous rice lotus root, lychee pork, or pineapple rice, he ate them all with great relish.
She's completely different from the last time when she didn't eat sweets!
Sure enough, when men get ruthless, they can even do things that are right up their spine.
The dinner was eaten slowly and deliberately, and it finally ended in less than half an hour. After the meal, Shu Tong instructed the palace servants to brew some light green tea.
After finishing a pot of tea, it was already getting dark, but the Crown Prince still showed no sign of leaving.
This caused Shu Tong great inner turmoil.
What does that mean?
Should I sleep at Wutongju?
That's absolutely unacceptable!
Otherwise, the Crown Princess would definitely start her first round of turning evil.
After all, the Crown Princess had specifically mentioned at lunch that the Crown Prince had only rested from exhaustion at Chuyun Palace the previous night and had not stayed overnight.
With a slight shift in her gaze, Shu Tong said with a gentle smile, "I had lunch at my sister's Chuyun Palace. My sister specifically mentioned to me that Your Highness has been quite overworked lately and must take good care of yourself."
She curved her lips into a smile, her tone exceptionally gentle: "I wonder if Your Highness needs any medicine? I'll have the palace servants prepare it for you."
Chen Ci tapped his fingertips on the table: "No need, I'll just go back to Chengqian Palace to take my medicine."
Shu Tong breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes. Your Highness, you must get some rest."
Chen Ci glanced at her a few more times and indeed saw a hint of seriousness and earnestness in her eyes.
Indeed, in ancient times, women were expected to take their husbands as their head after marriage.
It's still quite disheartening.
Chen Ci finished the last sip of tea, stood up, and said, "Consort Shu has been busy all day and should rest well. I will return to Chengqian Palace now."
"Respectfully seeing off Your Highness." Shu Tong hurriedly rose and bowed.
Chen Ci nodded slightly, tossed his brocade robe aside, and stepped out the door.
Tang Ming, who was waiting outside the hall to observe the unfinished swing, hurriedly followed. After leaving Wutong Residence, he asked in confusion, "Your Highness, are we going to Chuyun Hall or Chengqian Hall now?"
He thought His Highness would be staying at Wutong Residence today...
Chengqian Hall.
Tang Ming paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes."
Sensing the surprise in Tang Ming's tone, Chen Ci turned his head and glanced at him: "What? Is there a question?"
Tang Ming had been by Chen Ci's side since childhood, so he was particularly close to him. Upon hearing this, he said, "Well, I have no questions. I'm just afraid that when we get back, Eunuch Qin will inevitably start nagging again."
After all, the Crown Prince has already married the Crown Princess and Consort Liang, so it would be best if a grandson was born as soon as possible.
The emperor and empress in the palace are eagerly waiting.
As a result, the Crown Prince has not favored any of his consorts after all this time, so Eunuch Qin will naturally continue to grumble about it.
Chen Ci raised his eyebrows: "Have you forgotten the imperial physician's instructions? I should avoid strenuous exercise and focus on self-cultivation."
"Of course I remember, I just hope that Eunuch Qin will remember as well."
"Of course he remembers."
Otherwise, how could she serve the Crown Prince?
"Yes," Tang Ming replied, then added, "By the way, Your Highness, I've been searching for some nice spots in the suburbs these past few days, perfect for outings and picnics. Would you like to take a look beforehand?"
"A picnic or outing?"
"You've forgotten again?" Tang Ming explained with a smile, "A few days ago you said you wanted to take the Crown Princess and Consort Shu to the countryside for a spring outing, and ordered me to find a suitable place."
Going on a picnic or enjoying the spring scenery is a good idea.
Chen Ci agreed: "You decide."
"yes."
Tang Ming agreed, but a few doubts arose in his mind.
Ever since the Crown Prince fainted and woke up in the Chuyun Palace, his personality seems to have changed.
He has become much gentler, and his eyes are no longer as cold and stern as before; instead, they have a more cynical air about them.
As they were talking, the two happened to pass by the Chuyun Palace. It was already night, and the palace doors were naturally closed. Chen Ci stood silently for a moment, then continued walking forward.
I'd better not disturb Xiao Yezi tonight.
Otherwise, she'd think he was going to do something to her...
Meanwhile, in the Chuyun Palace, Ye Qingning was overjoyed. During dinner, she received news that the Crown Prince had gone to Wutong Residence and would likely stay at Shutong's place tonight.
Ye Qingning was naturally delighted to see the plot getting on track.
She ordered the small kitchen to prepare some snacks and served some fruit wine, and they were currently having a celebratory drink in the garden of Chuyun Palace.
The moonlight is perfect tonight, and the wisteria in the garden is in full bloom, filling the air with its fragrance. Bathed in moonlight, the scene is breathtaking.
Ye Qingning held Abao in her arms, sipping her drink while talking to it in a low voice.
"Ayan, the moon is so beautiful tonight, so big and round, and these wisteria vines are just gorgeous." She rubbed Abao's nape. "Isn't it?"
Abao seemed a little reluctant and meowed, then lay down on Ye Qingning's lap, its eyes darting around warily.
Upon seeing Chu Song standing a few steps away, it pricked up its ears and meowed again.
Ye Qingning followed its gaze and saw Chu Song standing under another wisteria vine, leaning against a pillar, leisurely watching her.
Ye Qingning frowned slightly.
What kind of script does Chu Song have? And what role does he play in this storyline?
His eyes look like they're part of a tragic love story.
Although he was dressed in blue, had a tall and straight figure, and his eyes were quite affectionate, he was, after all, just an unknown supporting character!
Besides, she already has Ayan!
Ye Qingning turned around with Abao in her arms, leaving Chu Song with only her back to her, and whispered to comfort Abao: "Ayan, don't be angry. He is protecting us. It's his duty."
Ah Bao let out a soft meow, as if to say that he understood.
Ye Qingning picked up a fruit and ate it, smiling slightly: "That's great. The Crown Prince is staying at Wutong Residence tonight, so our mission should be completed soon."
This time, Abao didn't respond, but let out a slight sigh of relief.
Ye Qingning naturally didn't see the fleeting emotion in its eyes.
If only things were that simple.
