Yun Chu leaned closer, rested her head on Xie Xuan's shoulder, and whispered, "I said, you're very beautiful! Xie Xuan, you're the most beautiful person I've ever seen."
Xie Xuan pursed her lips.
That wasn't the question he wanted to ask.
But he couldn't argue with a drunk person about these things.
He reached out and encircled Yun Chuwei, whispering, "Yun Chuwei, you won't die. I won't allow you to die before me! I absolutely won't let that happen!"
In her previous life, she died before him.
He will not let this happen again.
"Hmm?" Yun Chuwei responded vaguely, as if trying to hear what he was saying clearly.
Xie Xuan sighed helplessly.
He was talking to a brick wall.
He pulled her closer and said, "I said, you're drunk. I'll take you home, okay?"
Yun Chuwei heard clearly this time: "Okay!"
Xie Xuan laughed again.
The person in his arms seemed to be consciously choosing to listen to him.
Xie Xuan took out a silver ingot, placed it on the table, and then carried Yun Chuwei on his back.
Yun Chuwei leaned against Xie Xuan's back, hooked her arm around his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Xie Xuan..."
"Hmm?" Xie Xuan responded.
Yun Chuwei didn't say anything, but after a while, she called his name again.
Xie Xuan agreed and went downstairs.
When he got downstairs, he called out, "Aunt Mo, Weiwei is drunk. I'll take her home first!"
Mo Chou immediately agreed: "Okay."
After agreeing, she quickly came out of the kitchen. When she reached the door, she saw Xie Xuan carrying Yun Chuwei into the night.
She smiled, closed the door, and then went upstairs to pack her things.
When she saw the whole piece of silver, she smiled helplessly.
Three meals a day wouldn't cost that much money!
At this moment, Yi Yi came down from the pavilion and looked at Mo Chou, who was clearing away the dishes.
"Mother, have Weiwei and the others left?"
While packing her things, Mo Chou replied, "They've left. They said your sister Weiwei is drunk."
Yi Yi skipped over to her mother, helping her pack her things as she asked, "Mom, what do you think of that brother-in-law? Is he good enough for Weiwei?"
Mo Chou smiled and said, "In this world, who is worthy of your sister Weiwei? Actually, whether she is worthy or not is secondary. As long as your sister Weiwei likes her, that's all that matters."
The little girl nodded quickly: "What Mother said makes sense."

Xie Xuan carried Yun Chuwei very slowly.
Along the way, Yun Chuwei would call out to Xie Xuan every now and then, but nothing more.
Xie Xuan didn't find it annoying at all; he would answer every time she called him.
Yun Chuwei fell into a deep sleep on his back and stopped speaking.
When Xie Xuan carried Yun Chuwei back to the Marquis's residence, he did not disturb anyone, but took Yun Chuwei directly back to her room.
He took off Yun Chuwei's shoes, then took off her outer garment and covered her with a quilt.
He sat down beside the bed and looked at Yun Chuwei.
At this moment, the girl's face was serene, and her breathing was even and long; she was clearly asleep.
He reached out and gently stroked the girl's cheek, saying softly, "Weiwei, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."
As he spoke, he leaned closer, his lips landing on the girl's cheek, gently kissing her smooth face and soft lips.
After a long silence, he pulled away from her lips, looked at her, and whispered, "You always say you don't have long to live, and you always leave me for that reason. But you're so good, how could I bear to give you up?"
He reached out and gently traced Yun Chuwei's cheek.
"Weiwei, if you really can't get better, then I'll die with you, okay?"
Xie Xuan paused for a long time before finally speaking, "Since you didn't object, that means you agreed. You agreed, okay? And once you've agreed, you can't go back on your word."
After Xie Xuan finished speaking, he kissed Yun Chuwei on the forehead before turning and leaving.
-
When Yun Chuwei woke up again, it was already the next day.
She didn't know when she fell asleep, but she vaguely remembered that Xie Xuan brought her back.
As she grabbed her clothes and prepared to take a bath, she saw Guiyan walk in.
Guiyan was stunned to see Yun Chuwei still wearing yesterday's clothes.
"Young Miss, you didn't bathe or change your clothes last night? What were you doing last night? Did you go thieving?"
Before leaving last night, Yun Chuwei told Guiyan to go to sleep by herself and not to wait for her.
Therefore, Guiyan had no idea when or how Yun Chuwei had returned.
Yun Chuwei's lips twitched slightly as she said, "He's drunk!"
Guiyan exclaimed in surprise, "I'll go make you some hangover soup!"
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
Yun Chuwei sighed helplessly and didn't bother with her.
When she came out of the bath, she saw Guiyan bringing her a hangover soup.
Huo Qingjue arrived while she was lying in the courtyard making hangover soup.
Yun Chuwei recalled what happened last night, looked at Huo Qingjue, and asked, "What happened to Xie Xuan?"
She felt that Xie Xuan's sudden visit to her, especially since he seemed to be in a bad mood, meant that something must have happened.
Moreover, it must have been a rather significant matter in Xie Xuan's view.
“Yesterday, His Majesty reprimanded Prince Xuan. He even ordered Prince Xuan to suspend his work at the Dali Temple and reflect on his mistakes at his residence!” Huo Qingjue said.
Yun Chu raised an eyebrow. No wonder she was in a bad mood; so that's why.
Xie Xuan hated her, hated Huo Qingjue, hated Jiang Wanqiu, hated Yue He...
But he probably never hated Emperor Tianqi, right?
Moreover, he must have greatly admired his father, the Tianqi Emperor.
In fact, not only Xie Xuan, but she had heard stories of Emperor Tianqi conquering all directions and subjugating barbarians, and she admired him even more.
She believed that many people in the Great Chu Kingdom admired this powerful ruler.
Perhaps it was this feeling of worship that caused Xie Xuan to feel depressed because of Emperor Tianqi's harsh criticism of him.
She was curious to see what Xie Xuan would think when he learned that the mastermind behind the massacre of the Xuan Prince's family in his previous life was the Tianqi Emperor.
She was wondering when she should tell Xie Xuan about this.
He must know, right?
Huo Qingjue assumed Yun Chuwei was considering helping Xie Xuan, so he asked, "Miss, are you going to plead for His Highness Prince Xuan?"
He felt that as long as Yun Chuwei spoke up, His Majesty would definitely not confine Prince Xuan to his quarters any longer.
Yun Chuwei shook her head slightly: "No need, there's nothing wrong with him being confined!"
Huo Qingjue was somewhat surprised; he didn't quite understand why Yun Chuwei would say that.
Yun Chuwei changed the subject: "How is the Crown Prince?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qingjue said, "It is said that the Crown Prince did an exceptionally good job in disaster relief this time. Many officials from outside the capital have submitted memorials to His Majesty, praising the Crown Prince for loving the people like his own children, which is a great blessing for the Great Chu."
Yun Chuwei nodded slightly.
