When Qiu An looked up again, Song Chen had already gone far.
Qiu An quickly got up and chased Song Chen.
After running for a short while, I turned around and went back to find the steward to get the backpack.
Song Chen had arrived at the bamboo forest behind Zhuangzi. As she had thought before, there were many spring bamboo shoots here.
Song Chen bent down and moved his hands without stopping at all.
After a while, many more bamboo shoots appeared next to him, but Song Chen kept pulling them out as if tirelessly. When Qiu An came over, she was so frightened to see Song Chen like this.
The princess seems to be fine now, but the more she looks like this, the more abnormal she looks.
When Qiu An got closer, she discovered that Song Chen's hands were already full of wounds, all cut out by Bamboo Yi, but she seemed to not know the pain at all and kept repeating the same action.
But Qiu An didn't dare to say anything. She could only silently follow Song Chen and put all the bamboo shoots she pulled into the basket on her back. Then she pulled some more and put them in together when Song Chen didn't see them.
Only when the basket was finally full did Qiu An dare to speak.
"Princess, the basket is full."
Song Chen looked up and saw that it was indeed full, and the stuffer couldn't hold it anymore.
So she clapped her hands and said, "Go back when it's full and see how much you can peel off."
Qiu An held back tears and nodded, "Well, go back first."
It is better to go back first than to let the princess continue to hurt herself here.
But she never expected that when she returned, Song Chen would directly ask her to pour the spring bamboo shoots on the ground, then he would bring a small bamboo shoot and sit down and start peeling them off one by one.
"Princess, let me peel it. I heard there is a special method for peeling bamboo shoots. It can be peeled very quickly."
"Then you come together and let's compete."
Song Chen did not leave all the matters at hand to her, but asked her to peel it off with him.
In fact, Qiu An didn't know any special method for peeling bamboo shoots, but she just didn't want Song Chen to do this again, so she wanted to move her away and let her rest.
But she didn't know that Song Chen didn't dare to let herself have some free time now, and would feel uncomfortable when she was free.
Qiu An had no choice but to sit down, took a bamboo shoot and started to peel it. Song Chen seemed to be really competing with her. Even though there were already many cuts on her hands, she still couldn't do it at all.
No matter what, he peeled off the bamboo shoots very quickly.
After a while, Song Chen had a small basket of bamboo shoots at hand.
"It's getting late. I'm going to make lunch. If you want to peel it, you can peel it. If you don't want to peel it, just leave it alone."
"I'll go cook with you." Qiu An didn't dare to let Song Chen be alone anymore. She really didn't know what else she would do to hurt herself next.
Only now did she realize that people who are too sad and cannot find an outlet will hurt themselves.
Only then did she realize that the princess she thought was invincible was actually very fragile inside.
Song Chen still didn't refuse, but when Qiu An followed her into the kitchen, she didn't let Qiu An do anything. She made the fire, cooked, cut vegetables, and stir-fried everything by herself.
The whole person is like a top, spinning constantly.
When the vegetable rice was served, Qiu An felt even more uncomfortable. Except for the dishes made with bamboo shoots, all the other dishes were the prince's favorite.
Song Chen no longer wanted to talk about his identity at this time, and handed a pair of chopsticks to Qiu An, "Eat it while it's hot. After eating, we'll go to the river to see if there are any plump fish to catch."
"Oh, by the way, I think I have to go to the south. I don't know what happened to my pearls."
Song Chen seemed to be thinking incessantly, and then he remembered something again. Qiu An didn't know how he finished the meal. He didn't put his chopsticks into any dish during the whole process.
But in the end, she still couldn't face Song Chen like this. After finishing the meal, she suppressed her sadness and put down her chopsticks, "Princess, I'll come when I go out for a drink of water."
After saying that, he put down his bowls and chopsticks and ran out.
It wasn't until she ran far away that Qiu An couldn't help crying anymore.
But as she cried, she began to worry about the princess again, so she quickly wiped her tears, gathered her emotions and walked towards Song Chen.
During this meal, Song Chen also didn't use his chopsticks to eat any of the dishes, and spent the whole time eating rice.
After eating, what do those dishes look like when you bring them up, and what do they look like when you bring them down?
No, Song Chen didn't give these dishes a chance.
After finishing a bowl of white rice, she threw the dishes away.
In the next few days, Song Chen was like this.
Several dishes are prepared for every meal, all of which are Cang Xiuxuan's favorite dishes, and they are all thrown away in the end.
In the past few days, they had not waited for Cang Xiuxuan to come over. Not only had Cang Xiuxuan not come over, but none of the people around him had been sent over.
After Song Chen was lost in thought again, he called Qiu An.
"Go back to the city to find him and bring this to him."
While talking, Song Chen took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Qiu An.
Qiu An took it without thinking too much, put the envelope away properly, and finally felt a lot more relaxed.
"Princess, don't worry, I will deliver it to the prince personally. I will be back soon. Please rest for a while."
"okay."
Song Chen smiled and nodded, watching Qiu An leave Zhuangzi.
In order to deliver the letter she was carrying to the prince as soon as possible, Qiu An almost broke her riding whip along the way.
The gate of the palace had been closed for some time. There were many carriages and sedans waiting outside the palace. Qiu An glanced at it. Those carriages and sedans were all of high quality. Inside,
Those sitting there were all officials.
Qiu An stepped forward and knocked on the door of the palace, but no one came to open the door.
"Open the door. I'm Qiu An. I'm here to deliver a letter. It's a letter from the princess to the prince."
As soon as these words fell, the door of the palace opened. The person who opened the door looked at Qiu An excitedly, "Is this really a letter written by the princess?"
"What's going on? Why are there so many people waiting outside?"
When the people in the palace heard her asking, they all shook their heads, "The prince has not left his house in the past few days. He doesn't care about anything. The whole palace is lifeless."
Without the princess here, there is really no life at all. The entire palace is shrouded in depression. They don't even dare to make much noise when talking or doing things.
Qiu An thought of Song Chen, "I'll go deliver a message to the prince first. You guys should clean up the prince's mansion quickly."
She didn't know what was written in the letter, but she thought that since the princess took the initiative to write to the prince, the prince should be relieved no matter how angry he was.
This matter simply cannot be solved with their current attitudes. Each of them is torturing themselves in this way, and in the end they can only make the other party feel distressed.
The people in the palace were naturally very happy, feeling that the dark clouds hanging over their heads were about to dissipate.
Cang Wu was still guarding the outside of Cang Xiuxuan's yard, still not letting anyone get close. When Qiu An passed by, Cang Wu really didn't want to stop her, but he had to stop her due to his master's order.
"Miss Qiu'an, the prince said that no one is allowed to approach."
In the past few days, Cang Wu has changed a lot. He waits here day and night, and his slovenly beard looks completely different from the handsome young man before.
I have to say that this time the two masters were at odds, the impact was quite large.
"I'm here to deliver a letter to the prince, a letter written by the princess."
"It's really a letter written by the princess!!!" Cang Wu became excited when he heard these words.
"The princess gave it to me personally." Qiu An explained again.
"Wait, I'll go and pass the message right away."
If Qiu An is allowed to go in at this time, the prince will definitely be furious. It will be bad if he accidentally hurts Qiu An. If he goes in, he should be able to carry it for a while.
What's more, there is a letter written by the princess, which is a gold medal to avoid death.
Even if the prince loses his temper, he can still make excuses.
"I promised that the princess would hand it over to the king in person. It's better for me to go in and save me if necessary."
After all, I had done things under Cang Xiuxuan before, so I knew what kind of temper Cang Xiuxuan was. Now that I was about to break in, I didn’t know what would happen.
Cang Wu thought for a moment and could only nod in agreement.
Anyway, as long as it can make the prince stop being so decadent, he can do anything.
Qiu An walked into Cang Xiuxuan's yard little by little while holding his breath, and a short knife flew out from the house. If Qiu An hadn't been able to dodge quickly, he would have become the dead soul.
At that moment, Qiu An knelt down without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, Qiu An is here to deliver the letter from the princess to you."
The other long sword in Cang Xiuxuan's hand had already been raised. When he heard these words, he stopped immediately and his eyes began to focus slowly.
"What did you say?" A low, hoarse voice came from inside the house.
I haven't spoken for several days, so this voice condition is normal.
"The princess asked her subordinates to come down and deliver a letter to the prince and ask him to read it." Qiu An replied and quickly took out the letter Song Chen gave her from her body and raised her hands above her head.
There was a strong wind and the letter in my hand was gone.
Qiu An breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
He turned around and signaled to Cang Wu, but before the two of them could be happy, the door of Cang Xiuxuan's room had been kicked to pieces from the inside.
"Are you sure she handed this letter to you personally?"
Cang Xiuxuan stood in front of Qiu An, as if he wanted to eat her.
Qiu An didn't dare to get angry for a moment, and various thoughts flashed through his mind. Could it be that... the princess wrote something in the letter to stimulate the prince?
"Reply, to return to the prince, this letter was indeed handed to me by the princess herself. If I tell any lies, I will be struck by thunder and die badly!"
Cang Xiuxuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"madness!"
Qiu An knew that this was said to her, but she really didn't know why the prince would say this about her. When she was about to say something again, she found that the prince had already disappeared in front of her eyes.
"The prince should have gone to the village. Hurry, there are horses in the stables. I will chase the prince first. You can follow him quickly."
Cang Wu reacted quickly and told Qiu An to find the horse, and then they went to Zhuangzi together.
He had a bad premonition in his heart, a very bad premonition.
Cang Xiuxuan's riding speed this time was much faster than the last time he left Zhuangzi. In his hand holding the reins, there was still the letter Song Chen asked Qiu An to send.
In fact, it is not accurate at all to say that it is a letter, because except for his name on the letter paper, there is nothing else.
But it was this letter that made him completely panicked.
Ever since the unhappy breakup at Zhuangzi, he had been waiting for Song Chen to come back. He felt that since she had regarded this place as a place he didn't like, she would not come back on her own, but he was here
ah.
If she really loves him, then she will come back on her own.
He had always felt this way, and he had been waiting for her these past few days, but after seeing this so-called letter, he knew that he was wrong.
Now is she ready to forget it by sending him a blank letter?
The journey from Beijing to Zhuangzi had never felt so long to Cang Xiuxuan.
The closer he got to Zhuangzi, the more uneasy Cang Xiuxuan felt inside. When he entered Zhuangzi, this feeling became even more overwhelming.
This time it was still the steward of Zhuangzi who greeted him. When he saw him coming, he quickly led the horse.
"Young man, please pay your respects to the prince."
Cang Xiuxuan had no intention of engaging in such nonsense with him now, "Where is the princess?"
The steward pointed in one direction and said, "The princess will come back as soon as she leaves."
Cang Xiuxuan only felt a loud bang, as if something exploded in his head.
"She won't come back..."
Cang Wu and Qiu An, who followed closely, also hurriedly asked more clearly, and the steward's words were still in their ears.
"Your Majesty, the person in charge said that the princess didn't take anything with her when she went out. The princess won't go far and will be back soon. It should be the same as when the princess went to pull bamboo shoots. Don't worry."
But I didn't expect that this answer couldn't make Cang Xiuxuan happy at all. It didn't matter that she didn't bring anything. There were only things in her space that they couldn't think of, and there was nothing that she couldn't use.
Cang Xiuxuan sneered and crushed the letter in his hand to pieces, "What kind of letter is this? It's just to get rid of you. She wanted to leave a long time ago."
She wanted to leave him so desperately.
Thinking of this, Cang Xiuxuan felt weak all over his body, and this feeling made him more and more decadent.
Did he really push her too hard?
This was the first time that Cang Xiuxuan began to think about this issue seriously. He still remembered that when she had not yet had hair extensions, he still wanted to wait for her to grow up. Although he was anxious to marry her home, at that time he still wanted to wait for her to grow up.
I also understand that nothing can be rushed.
Why is it no longer possible now?
It seemed that since he knew that she did not belong to them and that there was such a magical space, his mood had changed a bit.
