When night fell, Su's mother walked out and waved to Chang Yuncheng, who was still standing at the door.
"Sleeping." She whispered, "My lord, you should go and have a rest. You have just come back after traveling for so long..."
Chang Yuncheng hummed and stood still.
"Your Majesty, it's not like you don't know Madam's temper..." Mother Su hesitated and said.
Chang Yuncheng hummed again, not sure if he was answering or just interrupting Su's mother.
Mother Su found it hard to speak.
The atmosphere was dull for a while.
"Mother Su." Just when Mother Su was about to turn around and go in, Chang Yuncheng spoke. He looked at the closed door and seemed to see through it, "You said, mother loves me the most, right?"
Mother Su was stunned.
"Your Majesty, that's natural." She said hurriedly, taking a step forward out of urgency.
"Mom, you also want me to live well, right?" Chang Yuncheng said again, still looking at the door.
Mother Su knew what he meant.
"Your Majesty, Madam wants you to live well that's why she insists so much..." she choked.
"I think it's fine, but why doesn't mother believe it?" Chang Yuncheng interrupted her, or in other words, he didn't listen to her at all, but just talked to himself.
Mother Su couldn't answer this question because she couldn't tell whether the prince thought it was good or not...
Chang Yuncheng also knew that he could not find the answer here, so he turned and walked away.
Mother Su subconsciously wanted to chase him and took a few steps before stopping.
Chang Yuncheng also stopped.
"Mother Su." He turned his head and said.
Mother Su quickly answered yes.
"I feel for my mother just as my mother feels for me. Only when she is well can I be well and happy. If something happens to her, I will be even more sad than if something happens to me." Chang Yuncheng said slowly.
"Madam misses the prince so much too..." Su's mother said hurriedly, choking up again.
"So." Chang Yuncheng interrupted her again, "Mother must eat well and take medicine well. If she is well, I can be well. If I am well, isn't it good for her?
?"
Mother Su was stunned, and Chang Yuncheng walked away slowly without saying anything.
Gently pushing the door open and entering the room, two girls were holding medicine bowls with uneasy expressions.
"Give it to me." Mother Su sighed and stretched out her hand.
The girls were very happy and hurriedly handed over the hot potato.
Mother Su entered the room holding the medicine bowl.
Mr. Xie was lying on the bed, facing inward, and seemed to be asleep.
There are already cold meals on the table next to it.
Mother Su sighed, sat down and called Madam.
"I won't eat. They won't do what they want when I die. Let alone kneeling, they won't let me eat even if they kneel until dawn..." Ms. Xie said coldly.
Mother Su sighed.
"Madam, the prince is gone." She whispered.
"...If he really wants me to be good to him, then he will be happy...what?" Ms. Xie suddenly turned around and looked at Su's mother and asked, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Your Majesty, let's go and rest first." Su's mother couldn't bear to look at her face, she lowered her head and said.
There was silence in the room for a while, and then there was a crisp crackling sound.
Mother Su was spilled with the soup and watched as the medicine bowl shattered on the ground, with more and more broken porcelain pieces, until finally the table became clean.
Chang Yuncheng did not rest, but walked out of the door. He didn't know where to go, so he walked slowly until he saw Chen's house.
He stared blankly for a while, then simply sat down on the roadside and touched himself, feeling a little regretful that he didn't bring any wine with him.
Just sitting there blankly, the door suddenly opened.
Chang Yuncheng stood up and stood in the shadows.
"Do you want to go out so late at night?" the concierge's servant said with some uneasiness.
"Go for a walk." Qi Yue replied, pulling up the hat on her thin cloak.
The concierge looked at the girl guard following her.
"Hold this lantern." They hurriedly handed over the lantern marked Deqing Gongchen.
The guards did not answer and looked at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue looked at the lantern with concentration.
It seemed like a long time passed.
"Take it." Qi Yue nodded and said, turning around and taking the first step.
Cai Qing, who was standing behind the shadow of a tree in the yard, let out a breath and watched the guards take the lanterns and leave with Qi Yue in two groups. She turned around and walked away quickly.
"Ms. Qi took the lantern." She whispered to Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen lowered his gaze and said nothing, slowly closing his eyes.
Cai Qing put down the tent and went out quietly.
Ah Ru and Ah Hao lit the lights in the room, and the Qianjin Hall lit up.
"Hu San said that he would hire a few guys in a few days. If the house is not occupied, it will lose popularity. In business, popularity is important," Aru said.
Qi Yue nodded and sat down on the chair.
"Oh, by the way." She suddenly remembered something, looked at Aru and said, "Go and call Hu Sanlai, I have something to discuss with him."
Aru nodded, didn't ask any questions, and left with a guard.
Qi Yue immediately stood up from the chair.
"Xiaoqu, Xiaoqu, go to the street corner and grab some drinks." She said hurriedly.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and some even laughed out loud.
The laughter came from outside the door, and Xiaoqu and others immediately became alert.
"Have a drink, that's all." Chang Yuncheng stepped forward and said with a smile.
Seeing him come in, Qi Yue was overjoyed.
"Why are you here?" she asked, "No, how did you know I was out?"
Chang Yuncheng smiled and did not answer.
"Xiao Qu is going to get a drink." He just said.
"Let's go out to drink." Qi Yue took his arm and said, "I wanted to go out originally, but it's not convenient to be alone, but now I'm fine." He turned to a guard and told a guard, "You stay here and wait for Aru and the others, you can say whatever you want.
Just click something in a circle and it will be fine."
Qi Yue looked at the swaying water surface with lights, moonlight and stars, and rubbed her aching legs.
"You come all this way just to enjoy the river breeze!" She laughed, "I thought you were going to take me to some high-end luxury entertainment venue."
Chang Yuncheng has already sat down.
"It's cold on the ground." Qi Yue stretched out her hand to pull him and looked around, "There is a tea shed over there. If we go there, we can also enjoy the river breeze."
Chang Yuncheng pulled her to sit down with his backhand.
"It's right here." He said quietly.
"Quite a bourgeoisie." Qi Yue said with a smile, sat down next to him, opened the small wine bottle in his hand, raised his head and took a sip, looking at the starry sky and exhaled.
Chang Yuncheng didn't speak. He took a sip himself and looked at the stars silently like her.
"Have you met your mother?" Qi Yue asked proactively.
Chang Yuncheng hummed.
"Master Zhou told you?" he asked.
Qi Yue shook her head.
"No, I haven't met my adoptive father yet." She said, shook her head and smiled.
Without Zhou Maochun, today's affairs would have been very chaotic.
She didn't ask anything, and Chang Yuncheng didn't say anything either.
The two of them took a sip of wine each again.
"I feel sorry for you." Chang Yuncheng said, looking at the sparkling river water.
"Don't say that." Qi Yue said, "There can never be a perfect time in a person's life. There are always things that are unsatisfactory and unintended. That's why it's called life. Otherwise, being carefree is not becoming a god.
Already."
Chang Yuncheng smiled, turned to look at her, and put his arms around her.
"That's why I feel even more sorry for you, you are such a good person." He said.
Qi Yue chuckled.
"Maybe who is sorry for whom." She smiled, and at the end of the sentence she pursed her lips and took a sip of wine.
"Of course it's me." Chang Yuncheng emphasized without a doubt, "If you hadn't married..."
"If I hadn't met you..." Qi Yue interrupted him.
Chang Yuncheng was stunned for a moment, feeling that the tone of her words this time was strange.
“…where will I be?”
"How was your life?..."
"..Should we cherish life?"
"... Maybe I know someone and live an ordinary life. I don't know if... there is love as sweet as honey..."
Qi Yue leaned on his shoulder and sang softly, stopping here to take a sip of wine.
"Don't stop, keep talking." Chang Yuncheng pinched her ear and said.
Qi Yue was amused.
"Do you like to hear my sweet words?" she said.
Chang Yuncheng smiled and answered yes.
"I want to hear it forever," he said.
"Then I'll listen to you forever." Qi Yue smiled and sat upright, "Hey, I forgot to tell you, you leave first this time, I will probably have to wait until the second half of the year to see you and the second batch of supplies
Go together."
"It's okay, I can come and see you," Chang Yuncheng said.
Qi Yue smiled at him and brought the wine bottle over to her. Chang Yuncheng also smiled and touched it to her.
"Cheers," he said.
The two of them each took a sip, and Chang Yuncheng reached out and took the bottle from Qi Yue's hand.
"Hey, I haven't finished drinking yet." Qi Yue hurriedly went to grab it back.
Chang Yuncheng smiled and raised his head.
"Okay, just have a sip or two and you'll be satisfied," he said.
"Don't all frustrated people express themselves when they are drunk?" Qi Yue laughed and poked his face, "Shouldn't we two guys be so drunk that Ruyi hugged each other and cried?"
Chang Yuncheng laughed.
"You know me and I know you, so where did the frustration come from?" He smiled, "I am very proud now."
Saying this, he pulled Qi Yue to stand up.
"We can go to the Dongjiao Night Market now just in time." He said, what else was on his mind here, and touched his waist, "But I didn't bring any money..."
Qi Yue laughed and patted his arm.
"Don't worry, sister, I'll pay for it," she said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if you pay, you are much richer than me." Chang Yuncheng smiled, reached out and poked her forehead, and took the lead.
Qi Yue covered her forehead with her hands.
"Hey, can you be polite to Mr. Jin?" she said, followed with a smile, and took Chang Yuncheng's arm.
Looking at the two people walking away hand in hand, Ah Ru breathed a sigh of relief.
"I said don't worry, you have to come and take a look." Hu San said, "The prince is watching, how can he let her drink more? The prince is actually very careful..."
"Shut up." Aru turned around and glared.
Hu San immediately shut up obediently.
The guard behind him burst into laughter.
"How about you two go shopping too?" He smiled.
Hu San nodded hurriedly when he heard this.
"Okay." He said, looking at Aru with full apology, "I'm too busy, I haven't spent time with you since I got to Beijing..."
"Who cares?" Aru glanced at him, raised his feet and chased Qi Yue in the direction he left.
Hu San stood slightly stunned.
"Why don't you go quickly? You are so busy, are you stupid?" the guard said with a smile.
Hu San smiled and hurriedly chased after him. (To be continued)
