Li Chenglan listened to the conversation between the two.
He believed that everything Zhu Xianyue said was true.
Because they didn't know he was eavesdropping.
At night, Li Chenglan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
He has always kept his distance from the concepts of ghosts and gods.
But what Zhu Xianyue said today lingered in his mind...
Since he couldn't sleep, he simply got up.
The place where he lived happened to be able to see Zhu Xianyue's small courtyard.
In fact, the original owner was seen by Li Chenglan being disrespectful to Niu Cuifen, who had raised her with great difficulty, and because of this, and later she behaved inappropriately in front of the palace, so he executed her directly.
But the original owner didn't know it until his death.
…
The woman hadn't slept yet.
Instead, he secretly ran out of the yard and walked towards the Xiaoqing River.
As if by magic, Li Chenglan caught up with Zhu Xianyue.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was young, so it is not difficult for him to hide his whereabouts.
He didn't know that Zhu Xianyue, who had experienced many dimensions, was also a martial artist and could easily sense his breath.
Zhu Xianyue came out on purpose to put on a show for Li Chenglan.
——She can't be strong all the time.
That would make Li Chenglan think that she and he would become good brothers, not husband and wife.
Zhu Xianyue found a stone, sat on it, and began to cry.
“Why, why…”
"Why did you give birth to me and then abandon me..."
"Why is it that the person closest to me hurts me the most..."
"I hate you guys... wuwuwu..."
"I'm so tired and scared..."
"But I won't fall! No one can kill me! I will fight you to the end!"
...Okay, Zhu Xianyue herself admitted that this behavior was very childish.
But Li Chenglan, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time and is used to seeing all kinds of dignified and elegant beauties, will be attracted by this middle school girl.
Sure enough, Li Chenglan no longer hid.
He came to Zhu Xianyue and took out his handkerchief.
"If you don't mind, you can use this to wipe your tears."
Zhu Xianyue did not take it, but took two steps back.
They even picked up stones and looked at him warily.
"Who are you?"
"Don't even think about messing with me! I'm going to call for help!"
Li Chenglan chuckled.
His smile is more beautiful than the moonlight tonight.
"Girl, I am the emperor."
——Didn’t you say you were willing to marry me?
Li Chenglan did not say the latter part of this sentence.
Otherwise, his behavior, like that of a thief on the beam, will be exposed.
The woman was sure of it only when she saw his jade ring.
Then she knelt before him.
"Your humble servant, Zhu Xianyue, pays respects to His Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness!"
Li Chenglan helped her up.
He could feel that Zhu Xianyue did not reject his approach.
This woman is indeed courageous.
It seems unreasonable, but he actually has his own plans.
He likes it very much.
"It's late at night. You're a girl, and you're bound to run into danger out there. You'd better go back quickly."
"Your Majesty obeys!"
Zhu Xianyue ran away under the moonlight, not forgetting to turn back and smile at him.
That smile was as beautiful as a flower, and it made Li Chenglan's heart beat fast for decades to come.
This woman was not chosen by the empress dowager, nor was she presented by a minister, but was chosen by him himself.
The place she holds in his heart is naturally extraordinary.
…
Three more days passed.
Zhu Xianyue's father and Wen Yingyi, the mistress of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, came to pick her up in person.
Zhu Xianyue of course agreed.
After returning home, everyone looked at Duke Dingguo and Wen Yingyi's faces, which were very ugly.
It seems like I've been frustrated.
Zhu Xianyue, on the other hand, was beaming with joy and ordered people to move all the dowry that Wen Yingyi had originally prepared for Zhu Yumeng to her own courtyard.
