This was a very speechless answer.
Just like Tang Thirty Six said, Chen Chang Sheng and Xu You Rong were two people that made people speechless.
Perhaps because of this, after Xu You Rong heard Chen Chang Sheng's answer, she wasn't too surprised, nor was she angry, but rather satisfied.
He only remembered that after dusk, he would come to Fortune Peace Road to eat fish with tofu, though in the end, he only ate beef ribs. He only remembered the words he had said in the Mausoleum of Zhou, so he had divided the gold and silver into two piles and used the majority of it to exchange for the plain downstream of the Red River. Though she had no relationship with the Elf race, he only remembered that he had promised her to end the engagement, so he had not hesitated to be criticized by the people of the capital to ask His Holiness the Emperor to forcefully end the engagement. Though this matter now seemed very foolish, and he was in a rush to find that marriage contract …
It was not important to get some things wrong, and it was not important to forget some things. It was fine as long as he remembered some things.
Because of Chen Chang Sheng's answer and the fragrant beef ribs in the iron pot, Xu You Rong didn't regret her action of handing over the slip of paper on the Bridge of Helplessness.
She said softly, "I ate very well, thank you."
After saying this, she stood up and put away the plain. She picked up the Yellow Paper Umbrella from the ground and walked out of the store.
Chen Chang Sheng was slightly startled. Seeing her lift the curtain and walk out, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to give her the most important thing. He hurriedly chased after her. The cold wind blew against his face and snowflakes floated on the street at night. How could he still see her figure?
He looked at the string of beads made of ten stones on his wrist and thought to himself, I can't forget such an important thing next time.
The shop owner's voice came from the side, "Sir, there's still half a pot of beef ribs left. Do you want to take it away or eat a little longer?"
Chen Chang Sheng turned around and saw that the shopkeeper's expression was a bit uneasy. After a moment of hesitation, he realized that the shopkeeper was worried that Chen Chang Sheng would go back on his word.
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and looked at him nervously.
…
…
Carrying the packed beef ribs, Chen Chang Sheng returned to the Tradition Academy.
The winter forest by the lake seemed a little sinister in the night. Fortunately, the snow on the branches diluted the feeling. From the depths of the forest came a low, thunderous sound. Occasionally, a few extremely thin, lightning-like streaks of light would float out. That was Xuanyuan Po cultivating.
Su Mo Yu was in the library giving guidance to the new students, Zhexiu, whose injuries were gradually healing, was under some pile of snow, grinding his spirit and willpower. Only Tang Thirty-Six had not gone anywhere, nor was he in his own room, but was waiting for him in Chen Chang Sheng's room.
Not only because he was very curious about Chen Chang Sheng's whereabouts, nor was he in his own room, but also because he was, but also because he wanted to, but also because Chen, but because he, he. because, he, he, because, because, because, because, he Yu, Chen, and because, and because, he had had had had had.
. because, if, and because, and because, and, and Chen, and, and, and, if, and, and and, and, and Chang Chang Chang Yang, one, and, Chen,
Chang, Yang,. and Chen, and Chen, the Chang, the Chang, Chang, Chang, Chen,,,, and Chang, and, he., and he.,.,.,.
Tang Thirty-Six had already sat in his room for a very long time, thinking about that embarrassing scene in the Li Palace, thinking about those gazes that were like real swords. Even now, he still felt that his back was somewhat sore, and thinking about where Chen Chang Sheng was enjoying himself, his mood was getting worse and worse.
So when Chen Chang Sheng returned to his room, what he saw was, of course, a very ugly face.
For some reason, perhaps because he was hiding the truth, Chen Chang Sheng felt uneasy when he saw his face. He placed the lunchbox on the table and pretended not to see Tang Thirty-Six sitting on his bed. He pretended that he had no mysophobia and very carefully said, "The beef ribs of Fortune Peace Road taste pretty good."
"His Holiness the Pope's Divine Staff tastes even better."
No matter how ugly Tang Thirty-Six's face was, it couldn't be any uglier, but the anger represented by his deliberate indifference was very easy to see.
Chen Chang Sheng took over the Godly Staff and was very surprised. Although Tang Thirty Six had predicted this beforehand and warned him, he still didn't expect it.
Tang Thirty-Six looked at him and coldly said, "You don't intend to explain?"
Chen Chang Sheng looked at him and said, "I just arranged to have a meal with someone. It's nothing major."
"But you still can't say it?"
"Yes."
"Then who did you have a meal with?"
"I also can't say …"
Chen Chang Sheng was rather nervous, but when he thought about how he had sat across from Xu You Rong and drank wine, he couldn't help but perk up the corners of his lips.
Seeing this, Tang Thirty-Six sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "A woman?"
Chen Chang Sheng was very shocked and asked, "How did you see?"
Tang Thirty-Six sneered, "Look at your face full of spring breeze and your seven emotions. Only Xuanyuan Po wouldn't be able to see it."
Chen Chang Sheng was rather embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
"Three days, three days at most." Tang Thirty-Six clenched his teeth and said, "I'll definitely be able to find out what's going on with you. You clearly just met Xu You Rong, but you weren't captivated by her and instead went to meet with another girl. I'm really curious to see just how good that girl is."
Chen Chang Sheng was rather confused and also faintly unconvinced. He asked, "Why can't I meet with Xu You Rong?"
Tang Thirty-Six expressionlessly said, "Xu You Rong will meet with you in private? Why don't you just tell me that you are Su Li's illegitimate child? "
Chen Chang Sheng thought about it and said, "If that's the case, then wouldn't Zhexiu have to call me brother-in-law?"
Tang Thirty-Six heard this and laughed. Then he thought of something and his smile disappeared.
He looked at Chen Chang Sheng and said, "You actually learned to tell jokes, and it's really funny … you're really done for."
Chen Chang Sheng didn't understand and asked, "What?"
Tang Thirty-Six looked at him sympathetically and said, "It seems that you really like that girl, or else your personality wouldn't have changed so much. What will you do in the future?"
… …
… …
Chen Chang Sheng laid on the bed, tossing and turning. Even when it was late at night, he still couldn't fall asleep.
After the age of ten, other than the time when he first entered the capital to absorb starlight and purify, this was the first time he had insomnia.
Tang Thirty-Six's final words seemed to tear open the paper window, allowing the starlight to fall upon the snowy plains in his body, clearly illuminating all his thoughts.
In the half year since he left the Garden of Zhou, he would often think of her, whether it was on the great banyan tree by the lake or among the boulders of the Mausoleum of Zhou. But what he did not understand was — that kind of longing was longing for longing. Until today, when the white gauze fell from the Bridge of Helplessness and he saw her eyes, especially when he saw her in the small tavern, wrapped in a large cotton-padded jacket, taking small sips of wine and gnawing on a bone. Her appearance was different from the Garden of Zhou, different from the legends, but it was incomparably real, so beautiful that it made one want to get close to her.
As a result, this longing fell into reality, taking on real weight.
Longing that was real and had weight was called lovesickness. Once it was lovesickness, it was naturally difficult to sleep.
Chen Chang Sheng was a person who was slow in speech but quick in action. In any case, he couldn't sleep. Since he wanted to see her, he would go see her.
Xu Yourong had said to him that he could not let anyone know that they had known each other, so he could not go see her through normal channels, so he could only go see her in secret.
He got up, put on his clothes, and floated out the window. Crossing the winter forest, he took out a key and opened the secret door on the palace wall that was well concealed by ivy. He walked in.
He pushed the heavy door open a crack and gazed at the palace in the darkness. He was somewhat nervous, so nervous that the whistle he blew out was somewhat hoarse.
He was a very well-behaved youth and very rarely did this sort of thing. Although he had secretly entered the Imperial Palace several times, the current situation was somewhat different from before. Last night, the Pope had officially announced to the entire continent that he was the successor to the Orthodoxy, but now he was intruding into the Imperial Palace. If he was discovered, then it would truly be a major incident.
The wind and snow slowly drifted through the air. The red walls and yellow eaves of the Imperial Palace were all painted white.
The Divine Queen glanced at the snowflakes outside the window and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. She said, "Do you know when people are the most daring?"
The confluence of the north and south was right in front of them. Various matters suddenly increased. Mo Yu was still accompanying the Queen to deal with matters late into the night. She was already somewhat tired. Suddenly hearing this question, she froze for a moment before responding. She softly said, "When facing death?"
"It's not wrong, but there's another situation … because of love."
The Divine Queen looked at the dark palace outside the window and said, "Or perhaps, because of lust."
Snow danced in the sky and lights flowed. The Imperial Palace seemed like it was daytime, not night, so black objects were rather conspicuous.
When Chen Chang Sheng saw the Black Goat slowly walk over from the snow-covered plaza, he felt a sense of gratefulness.
He told the Black Goat why he had come.
The Black Goat glanced at him, turned around, and walked away. After some time, it raised its horn at a palace in front of it, then turned around and disappeared into the snowy night.
The location of that palace was excellent. It was not very remote, but it was very quiet. Moreover, in the middle of winter, there were many green trees around the palace. It was very unusual.
She was living here? It seemed that the rumors were true. The Divine Queen doted on her, even more than the Princess of Ping.
Then if the Orthodoxy and the Imperial Court split in the future, and the Pope and the Divine Queen fought, she would definitely help the Queen. What should I do? Suddenly, he remembered the words she said in the tavern. He realized that this was indeed a problem. He could forget it for a while, but he couldn't not think about it forever.
The wind and snow in front of the palace were a bit cold. At the beginning, his face was a bit hot, but now it gradually cooled down. It wasn't that his heart was cold, but that he needed to be calm.
He came to see her, but he didn't move for a long time. He didn't have any intention of sneaking into the palace. He just stood there.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice reached his ears. It was her voice.
"You … why are you standing here?"
He looked towards the source of the voice and saw that there was a window on the east side of the palace that was still lit. He walked over and saw her silhouette reflected by the light.
She sat at the table in front of the window, holding a book in her hand.
It was late at night, but she still hadn't slept. For some reason, perhaps it was the same reason he hadn't been able to sleep.
"I … wanted to see you," he said to her through the window.
Xu Yourong softly said from the window, "Didn't we just meet?"
Chen Changsheng hesitated for a while, then said, "But … I can't sleep."
Xu Yourong turned to look out the window, somewhat uneasy. She thought to herself, just what could have happened to make a person like him unable to sleep?
It must be known that in the Garden of Zhou, even if there were countless terrifying beasts hiding in the sea of grass around him, he could still very calmly enter the land of dreams.
"What happened?"
"Nothing … it's just that I can't sleep thinking about you."
… …
… …
(Tonight, Xu Yourong's name was An Hong.)
