Stunning at Every Step: Sheng Chong Ghost Princess

Chapter 38
Zhao Mingyue ran along the corridor, Chu Ziyan followed quickly, and the two laughed all the way.

Zhao Mingyue's thin body was exceptionally nimble, she leaned on the railing and turned over, Chu Ziyan yelled softly to stop her, but Zhao Mingyue was already in the garden under the railing.

Chu Ziyan glared at her angrily, why didn't he break her!He didn't run anymore, he couldn't run, he was panting, and suddenly he felt funny, he actually ran such a long distance...

One of the two was walking in the long corridor, and the other was walking under the eaves. At this time, countless fireworks exploded from the sky above Lingyun Pagoda, brightening the entire night sky.

Chu Ziyan and Mingyue looked at the sky.

The fireworks burned fiercely, illuminating the faces of Chu Ziyan and Zhao Mingyue. The fireworks disappeared into the night, and the light also receded from their faces, and then the next fireworks bloomed again, shining and dazzling.

These fireworks are short-lived passers-by tonight, giving those who see them a splendid memory.And people are short passers-by of several days and nights, whose memory will be brightened?

Chu Ziyan cast his eyes on Zhao Mingyue's handsome back, the fireworks flickered, and this person flickered, making it a little unreal.She said that people's guilt, longing, likes, and dislikes are actually only related to themselves.So he needs to be accompanied, is it just his own business?
"Zhao Mingyue." He walked to the steps and stopped.

"Here we come!" Zhao Mingyue immediately ran over, climbed up the steps and stood beside him.

Accompanying is a matter of two people, right?If it was a person, he called her name, but no one responded, no one ran over, no one stood by his side, right?

Chu Ziyan walked forward quietly.

Zhao Mingyue asked: "When will the painter Cai paint for you?"

Chu Ziyan: "In a few days."

Zhao Mingyue: "Then we still have to stay in the palace?"

"No, painter Cai will come to Prince Yan's mansion to paint at that time."

"Then can we go home tomorrow?"

Chu Ziyan smiled: "Well, we will go home tomorrow."

Early the next morning, before Chu Ziyan had time to say goodbye to the Emperor, the Empress came to Kangning Garden.For nothing else.

The prince's condition was getting worse and worse, so the queen thought it was Chu Ziyan's illness.

But Chu Ziyan was in good spirits and showed no signs of illness.

Chu Ziyan asked the queen to sit up according to the etiquette, and the maid served tea for her, while Chu Ziyan sat quietly and waited for questions.

The queen asked without explaining the purpose of her visit: "Has the crown prince been with King Yan all these days?"

"Going back to Empress, on the day when His Royal Highness was portrayed by the crown prince, and on the day when Zimeng was portrayed, Ziyan, the crown prince and the third brother were once together."

"Have you ever touched his Brahma Jade?"

"The crown prince once said that he wanted to show Ziyan the protective treasure. Ziyan knew that it was not easy to touch, so he didn't dare to move it."

Zhao Mingyue seemed to have figured it out. His Royal Highness's Brahma Jade had failed, and the queen was an onmyoji. She must have thought that the prince had contracted an evil spirit and fell ill. Moreover, she also believed that the evil spirit was caused by Chu Ziyan.

Chu Ziyan asked slowly: "Empress, did Ziyan cause His Highness the Crown Prince to fall ill?"

"..." The queen didn't say yes or no, but looked at Chu Ziyan's eyes with hatred and inquiry, and finally said with a sneer, "A lot of things have happened in the palace recently, can you listen to me?" As I said, Concubine Rong set herself on fire two days ago in the cold palace."

"Ziyan heard about it." However, he has no contact with Concubine Rong, especially now, what happened to Concubine Rong has no effect on him.

"Since you entered the palace, she has been crazy. She kept saying that someone strangled her neck at night. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and committed suicide."

The queen's words are really biased. What the maid Zhao Mingyue met that night said that Concubine Rong has been in a state of madness for a while, and she kept saying that something was strangling her neck. Did it happen after Chu Ziyan returned to the palace?
But now Zhao Mingyue is very calm, and has not stepped forward to defend Chu Ziyan. It is estimated that this kind of blame has been placed more than once or twice.

Chu Ziyan also acted calmly, and said: "Ziyan is deeply sorry for what the empress said, but this is not Ziyan's wish. If the empress Rong didn't enter the cold palace, this kind of thing probably wouldn't have happened."

The queen immediately looked at Chu Ziyan with sharp eyes.

Chu Ziyan's expression was indifferent, and he asked again: "The last time Ziyan returned to the palace, Concubine Rong was still the concubine Sheng Chong. Why did she not see you for more than a month, and Concubine Rong went to the cold palace?"

Who doesn't know that the empress hates the favored concubine the most, if it was the empress's actions, Chu Ziyan's words would just hit her back, if it wasn't for Chu Ziyan's question, it wouldn't be too much to ask.

The queen lowered her eyelashes and said: "The Leng Palace is just a place for some concubines who are spoiled and proud to think about their mistakes. In the first place, there is room for turning around...Leaving this aside, the old man has passed away."

"Then what is the empress looking for Ziyan today?"

"I just want to ask, you have been back to the palace for some time, and your father's health is gradually getting worse..." She picked up her teacup and drank tea.

It would be fine for others to hear such words, but when it comes to Chu Ziyan, the meaning is obvious, because Chu Ziyan stayed in the palace for too long and brought the evil into the palace, so Concubine Rong committed suicide and the crown prince fell ill , Even the emperor's health gradually deteriorated.

The implication is that this unlucky Ninth Prince should leave the palace again.

Chu Ziyan understood, and said with a smile: "Ziyan is about to bid farewell to the emperor."

"Your father has already gone to court." So he had better leave now, "Your farewell will be relayed to His Majesty."

"Then there will be the Empress Dowager."

Chu Ziyan didn't argue at all, and left the palace following the queen's wishes.

Chu Ziyan was silent all the way back, and Zhao Mingyue could think of how pitiful he was when he was a child.

The birth of Chu Ziyan not only caused the death of newborns with a radius of hundreds of miles, but also his mother, Empress Chun, also died of dystocia. How did he survive before he was sensible?After being sensible, how to survive until now?His tricky and awkward character is already the best character created by that environment, right?

Zhao Mingyue now somewhat understands how important a person who will not wither around him is to him... Maybe it can't be said to be important, but special.

Jinling Street was full of people coming and going, Zhao Mingyue opened the curtain and said to Chu Ziyan, "His Royal Highness, how about we go shopping?"

shop?can he
Zhao Mingyue said: "Look how busy it is outside, the sun is just right, go for a walk!"

"I'm not sad."

He said this suddenly.

Mingyue was stunned for a moment, she is really a sensitive guy, she smiled slightly: "Are you sad?"

"I said I wasn't sad."

"I didn't say you were sad, it's just that I haven't been able to go out after coming to the palace for so long, why don't you do me a favor, can you go shopping with Mingyue?"

Chu Ziyan thought for a while and nodded.

When the two got out of the carriage, Meng Lu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness has been out for some time, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this."

Chu Ziyan said: "It doesn't matter. With Mingyue here, my health has improved a lot recently. It's good to go out for a walk. I won't stay for a long time."

Meng Lu saw that Chu Ziyan's condition was indeed much better than before, and Mingyue was there. Although he still felt a little worried, he could only give in.

After Zhao Mingyue and Chu Ziyan walked around the streets and alleys, they had lunch at a restaurant called "Fulailou".Chu Ziyan seldom went out, occasionally Chu Zirui would invite him out of the palace for a gathering, to meet some friends.

But Fulailou is recognized as the restaurant with the best food in the imperial capital, Chu Ziyan still knows about it.

Mingyue entered the store together with him, and Xiao Er waved a towel and came over to say hello: "Masters..." Xiao Er's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked straight at Chu Ziyan, this young man is too handsome , more handsome than any girl Xiao Er has ever seen, "My lord, please come inside!"

Chu Ziyan walked towards the room without changing his face.She was dressed in white clothes with elegant layers, which was indeed indescribably pleasing to the eye.He walked over like this and attracted a lot of people's attention, Zhao Mingyue hurriedly followed, what if some people couldn't hold back and pounced on him?
As soon as the person at the table by the window left, Zhao Mingyue led him to sit there, and moved the chair respectfully for him.

Heh, once time travels, she will become a gentleman, right?

The eyes of those people followed Chu Ziyan until he sat down.

Zhao Mingyue said: "Will it be inconvenient, or we will change places."

"No, it will be quiet later."

The people present whispered and discussed.

"There are still such beautiful sons in this world, with a very raw face, aren't we from Jinling?"

"When you dress up, you must be born in a wealthy family. I don't know which family you belong to."

"Who cares about his son, let's go meet for a while?"

A few people wanted to get up, but the shopkeeper pushed the man down and laughed and asked: "If you need anything, just call someone, you don't have to get up yourself."

The man was very dissatisfied with Shopkeeper Wang, and hummed, "Treasurer Wang..."

"If Mr. Xu wants to survive, it's best not to provoke that person." Shopkeeper Wang said.

Mr. Xu was puzzled: "People here don't know who it is, could it be that Shopkeeper Wang knows?"

"Although I haven't seen that person before, I know that the person next to him is the guard of Prince Yan's residence."

When Mr. Xu heard it, his thick chin and neck, which had been arrogantly raised, retracted in an instant: "What? Prince Yan's Mansion?"

A group of ruffians didn't dare to do anything wrong again, and they were whispering again.

"Don't say that the royal family can't afford to mess with him. Even Chu Ziyan, no one dares to approach him. He is said to be covered in curses. I don't know how many people died around him."

"Unlucky...Looking like this is a waste of money."

"Didn't you say that you have been sick and can't go out?"

"Come out now to kill someone?"

Zhao Mingyue felt very uncomfortable. For such a good-looking person, he should be the existence of many stars, but he was rumored to be shameful. The more he talked about it, the more it went too far. Zhao Mingyue stood up angrily and wanted to clarify something.

"Mingyue." Chu Ziyan held her down, "It doesn't matter, anyway, what they said is the truth, since I survived by my life, I have to bear it."
