Chapter 289 Was it you on the night of your birthday?
Chu Xingchen and the woman looked at each other in confusion. Zhou Buyan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but he didn't react until he noticed the unusual silence.
"Your Highness, this is... the sound is late, the bell is ringing late, she..."
He habitually called His Highness, and then he was a little at a loss as to how to introduce him.
Zhong Shengwan didn't see Chu Xingchen's imperial uniform under his cloak, but he could see that Chu Xingchen was either rich or noble. When he heard the title of His Highness, his face turned pale.
When Zhou Buyan saw it, he said, "It's okay, you... just go in quickly."
He thought about explaining it to her later, but seeing that she was still worried, he gave her a reassuring smile.
Chu Xingchen looked at Zhou Buyan with a rare expression of tenderness, and even smiled.
He had rarely been like this before. He basically had a poker face when facing outsiders. Even towards Lingzhou and the others, he was the same. Only when he was with her would he be a little different and laugh.
But now...he smiled at another girl, who still lived directly in Zhou's house.
Her heart, which was beating wildly with excitement, suddenly calmed down.
So, is this the reason why he disappeared and ran away in the first place?
"Who is she?" Chu Xingchen's tone contained guarded hostility that she didn't notice.
Zhou Buyan heard the displeasure in her tone and hurriedly introduced, "Her name is Zhong Shengwan, she is me..."
The palace attendants waiting outside heard something was wrong with Chu Xingchen's voice and hurriedly showed up.
Zhou Buyan looked at the palace guards who came behind him, lowered his head slightly, paused and said, "He is my...savior."
Chu Xingchen snorted and said nothing for a while. The excitement in his blood was so hot that it had already gone cold.
"It turned out to be a lifesaver."
So do you have to pledge yourself to save your life?
If not, why should you keep it with you and keep it at home?
"She has no relatives, so we became sworn brothers and sisters." Zhou Buyan felt that Chu Xingchen was in a bad mood and explained.
Chu Xingchen didn't have any reaction when he heard about the adopted brothers and sisters.
To her, the stepbrother and the stepbrother are all the same.
She was a little disappointed for a moment, how could Zhou Buyan talk about being a sworn sister and not a sworn sister.
She tried her best to calm down and told herself that this was fine. In the future, he would be Zhou Muxing and a loyal general. He would naturally marry a wife and have children. This was the life of ordinary people.
Maybe she thought too much about the new name he chose, or maybe he just chose it because he simply liked the stars.
Chu Xingchen was silent, and the air was a little depressing.
Until the girl plucked up the courage to come out again, she seemed uncomfortable and a little reserved, but she tried hard to entertain the guests.
She looked at Chu Xingchen and smiled, then cautiously and enthusiastically invited her to come in and have a cup of tea.
She was very enthusiastic, and Zhou Buyan also looked at Chu Xingchen expectantly. Chu Xingchen was silent, but there was a sound of horse hooves outside, and the next second, someone from the palace hurried in.
"Your Majesty." The palace man saluted, approached Chu Xingchen and whispered, "Your Majesty, something happened to Mr. Shen."
Something happened to Shen Cangzhu?
If it wasn't something important, he wouldn't have found it out like this. Chu Xingchen said without hesitation, "I have to leave first and come back for tea another day."
Chu Xingchen couldn't stay any longer, so she turned around and left.
"Your Highness." Zhou Buyan couldn't help but take two steps after him. Although the palace man's voice was very low, Zhou Buyan had already heard it based on his hearing.
Jun Shen, that is Shen Cangzhu, it was Shen Cangzhu who was looking for her.
When Shen Cangzhu came to find her, did she go back immediately?
Did Shen Cangzhu know that she was looking for him and deliberately brought her back?
Zhou Buyan clenched his fists unconsciously. He didn't want to snatch His Highness, he just wanted to take a few more glances. Didn't he want to do the same to Shen Cangzhu?
When Chu Xingchen saw Zhou Buyan chasing him out, his eyes looked like an abandoned puppy.
Her heart suddenly softened, but the next second she saw Zhong Shengwan who was following behind.
She was also worried.
Chu Xingchen tightened her hands, "What's wrong?" she asked hoarsely.
"I..." Zhou Buyan took a deep breath, "Didn't Your Majesty just want to ask me a question? On my birthday."
Chu Xingchen's eyelashes trembled, and finally he raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Buyan, "Yes, I want to ask you, did you come back to Zhou's house on the night of my birthday? Do you still remember what happened that night?"
Zhou Buyan, if that's you, just admit it and tell me why you left.
No matter what the reason is, as long as you say it, I will believe you.
Even if there is a benefactor behind you, I will not back down.
The grace of saving one's life may not necessarily come with one's own body.
As long as you confirm your feelings.
Chu Xingchen thought, if she has no future, she has no future, and being a pig means being a pig. She still doesn't want to be confused, as this would be too torture and uncomfortable for her.
Because this is Zhou Buyan, Zhou Buyan is the most special to her, she is just an ordinary person, Zhou Buyan is wholehearted, how could she be indifferent.
After experiencing this separation of life and death, she already knew how precious he was.
She was feeling so uncomfortable when she saw the bell ringing late just now because she was jealous.
She thought that she was hopelessly defeated again.
In this case, she has to fight for it, even if it is a benefactor, she is not afraid.
Chu Xingchen's eyes were burning, making Zhou Buyan's heart beat inexplicably, but a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes at Chu Xingchen's words.
What happened on the night of His Highness's birthday?
A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Your Majesty, what happened that night?"
Chu Xingchen stared at Zhou Buyan, and she didn't miss his expression at all. He seemed to be really confused, and there was no flaw on his face.
Chu Xingchen's heart suddenly went cold. Maybe it wasn't Zhou Buyan that night at all, or maybe Zhou Buyan just didn't want to admit it.
It was unlikely that Zhou Buyan didn't want to admit it. She felt that Zhou Buyan didn't have such good acting skills, but Zhou Buyan had also lied to her before, saying that he wanted to leave the palace, but in fact he was going to die.
I have been intimate with someone I don't know who, and I have not denied it with Zhou. It is not good news, and there is no point in talking about it.
His name may really be just because he likes the stars, or he may be really afraid of her.
"It's okay. It's just that the kitchen said that a cake was missing that day, so I asked you if you had been back."
Chu Xingchen couldn't tell about the hickey, so he made up a random reason and ignored the topic.
"I'm going back first."
Chu Xingchen took a deep breath and was about to leave, but stopped when he reached the door, "Zhou Buyan, I will find a time to resolve the identity of Lord Zhou in your palace."
"Congratulations on finding a new life. We will meet again as the Queen and General Zhou in the future. I can assure you that you will have a bright future in the future."
She paused and said, "Also, the reward I just mentioned is still valid. Just tell me when you think about it later."
After Chu Xingchen finished speaking, she turned around and left, rode on the little red horse and galloped away. This time, she did not look back.
She comforted herself, well done.
It was just another heartbeat. She had never been heartbroken before.
Even if this person is Zhou Buyan, she still has to take it back in time because he doesn't want to.
She had always wanted him to leave the palace before, and now that she had done it, what was there to be dissatisfied about.
She didn't want Zhou Buyan to take risks, and she did it now. Although the military was more dangerous than ordinary professions, he was very skilled, and he probably wouldn't fight in the near future.
Zhou Muxing's identity is a general and hero who creates miracles, which is much better than Shadow.
From being a shadow that was despised and scolded by everyone, to being a respected and appreciated general, Zhou Buyan earned it with his own blood and life. He gained the respect and love of others through his own abilities, and no one would dare to speak against him again in the future.
He's a little bastard.
She must forget Zhou Buyan's identity and let him start over.
She will keep her promise, no matter he is a shadow or a general, she will protect him and no one will hurt him or say anything wrong about him.
