Chapter 297 Chu Xingchen is embarrassed by the belt she can't undo
"Zhou Buyan, why are you here?" Chu Xingchen was very familiar with Zhou Buyan's appearance and asked, looking at his chair.
But Shen Cangzhu was not so familiar. Zhou Buyan floated down from above his head like a ghost. If he hadn't been mentally strong, he might have shouted directly.
His hand trembled and he retracted it, preventing Zhou Buyan from catching it.
Shen Cangzhu coughed and said, "General Zhou, why did you show up like this?"
He wouldn't secretly return to the palace every night to find His Majesty, would he?
It is indeed possible with his skills, but this... is too outrageous.
"I wanted to see your Majesty for something, but I came here when I saw that your Majesty was not at the Liangyi Hall."
Zhou Buyan reached out to pull Shen Cangzhu, "I can press it for you."
Shen Cangzhu grinded his teeth when he heard this. He didn't need Zhou Buyan. He understood Zhou Buyan's thoughts very well. He felt a little annoyed. He was so haunted that he was anxious to install a mechanism to correct his problems... ..
The thought flashed across his mind, and Zhou Buyan happened to hold his hand. In an instant, Shen Cangzhu suddenly felt severe pain without any warning.
He clutched his stomach, his face instantly turned pale, and he doubled over in pain.
"Shen Cangzhu, what's wrong with you?" Chu Xingchen asked anxiously.
Shen Cangzhu bent over and was speechless for a moment. Zhou Buyan's hand was still in the air and he hurriedly looked at Chu Xingchen.
"Your Majesty, I didn't use any force, I just touched it."
It hurts when touched, and it looks like it's just pretending, but when you take a closer look, you find something is wrong.
Shen Cangzhu didn't look like he was acting, Zhou Buyan looked at his hands, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
However, Chu Xingchen guessed that it might be a bug attack, and hurriedly said to Zhou Buyan, "I know it's not you, Zhou Buyan."
Zhou Buyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and took a few steps back to show his innocence.
It took a while for Shen Cangzhu to recover. Looking at Zhou Buyan, he felt a little strange.
He felt that this attack of poisonous insects was different from usual ones. It seemed that it started after meeting Zhou Buyan.
But this is unlikely. I think I might be overthinking it.
"I scared General Zhou," he said politely.
Zhou Buyan shook his head, "Why isn't Mr. Shen feeling better now? What's the disease?"
A trace of complexity flashed in Chu Xingchen's eyes, and Shen Cangzhu shook his head, "It's a rare disease. Since there is no antidote, we can only do this for now."
"If you need help, just ask." Zhou Buyan said directly. He wanted Shen Cangzhu to get better, so that His Highness might not always be with him.
"Okay." Shen Cangzhu nodded and looked at Chu Xingchen, "Your Majesty, General Zhou has something to do with you. You go with him first. It's getting late. Remember to rest early. You have to go to court tomorrow."
"Um."
"Remember not to stay up late." Shen Cangzhu warned again.
For Zhou Buyan, these seemingly casual conversations made him feel once again that he couldn't get in.
During these days since he was out of the palace, he always felt that he didn't know many things and was left out.
He was anxious. When he returned to Liangyi Hall and saw Chu Xingchen letting others go down, he was about to speak immediately.
But after calling him "Your Majesty", Chu Xingchen suddenly let out a sigh and poured a bowl of tea on him.
Yes, it fell on him.
Zhou Buyan could see very clearly that it was not accidentally knocked over, although Your Highness said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally knocked it over."
Zhou Buyan was confused and didn't know why His Highness wanted to pour water on him.
"It's okay." The tea was warm, neither hot nor cold. Although Zhou Buyan was puzzled, he was not angry.
Chu Xingchen said, "How can it be okay if it's wet? It's still a bit cold in the morning and evening, so I'd better take it off quickly."
She didn't just say it, she actually started it.
Because it was really an eyesore, Zhou Buyan was still wearing the clothes Zhong Shengwan made for him!
Chu Xingchen couldn't bear the things he hadn't done during the day.
Let you wear it, let you wear it again!
Chu Xingchen showed his claws like an angry kitten. Zhou Buyan swallowed, "Your Majesty, you..."
"What am I? You can't bear to part with me?"
Chu Xingchen's eyes glanced at the familiar belt, which she couldn't take off, "Take it off yourself."
This time you take it off yourself, showing off your domineering attitude.
But Zhou Buyan's mind instantly flashed through some scenes he had seen while performing tasks, and the words "good" changed their taste.
He didn't dare to let himself continue thinking and hurriedly took off his coat.
Chu Xingchen finally felt a little better, "The tea stained the clothes and they can't be worn anymore. Just throw them away. I will compensate you one piece, no, I will compensate you a hundred pieces."
She pays for clothes for all seasons.
After saying that, he raised his voice and asked Xia Zhi outside to prepare a set of men's clothes and clothes for compensation.
Zhou Buyan was stunned when he heard this, but His Majesty gave him clothes again to make him happy, and he mustered up the courage to say.
"Your Majesty, didn't you ask me to reward you before? I've thought about it. I want to return to the palace and continue to be a shadow."
He didn't want to be left out by her, "When I return to the palace, I can help you take care of Lord Shen."
He can help, not to mention lay hands on him, but he can even hold him on his back and give him medicine. In short, His Majesty does not need to take care of him personally.
Shen Cangzhu said it hurt tonight, but it couldn't hurt every time.
Chu Xingchen frowned, "Come back to be a shadow? What kind of reward is this?"
Let alone taking care of Shen Cangzhu, how could he be allowed to take care of her.
"But you said you could agree to it before." He can do this, and this is his reward, the biggest reward.
"No, no." Chu Xingchen shook his head, "I'm talking about rewards, this is not a reward. Think about it again."
Although selfishly she was willing, Chu Xingchen didn't want him to be a shadow again, so just looking at Shen Cangzhu was enough.
If Zhou Buyan was around before, there is no doubt that Zhou Buyan must have tasted the pain of this poison instead of Shen Cangzhu.
He has suffered enough, and a great future is there. People should look forward and not always look back.
Chu Xingchen's attitude was resolute, Zhou Buyan's heart sank to the bottom of his heart, and he still wanted to say a few words, but Xia Zhi knocked on the door with clothes.
Zhou Buyan didn't even know how he got out of the palace.
His Highness is unwilling and does not want him to return to the palace.
After Zhou Buyan left, Chu Xingchen couldn't sleep. Zhou Buyan wanted to return to the palace because of her, right?
He said last time that he didn't like Zhong Sheng Wan and would never marry her.
This must be true now, otherwise Miss Zhong would not be happy if Zhou Buyan proposed to come back as a shadow.
Just as Chu Xingchen was thinking about it, Qiu Lai came in, "Your Majesty, can't you sleep again? Let me press it for you."
Qiu Lai has good massage skills, which can relieve Chu Xingchen's cervical fatigue and headache caused by being busy at the desk.
Chu Xingchen nodded, "Okay."
Qiu Lai washed her hands and started. Chu Xingchen lay on the bed, feeling sore and satisfied.
"Your Majesty, are you still thinking about Mr. Shen?"
The three of them served Chu Xingchen closely in late winter, summer solstice, and autumn. They knew that Shen Cangzhu suffered from the poison on Chu Xingchen's behalf.
At first, the three of them hated Shen Cangzhu for choosing Luo Waner, but now they saw Shen Cangzhu treating Chu Xingchen like this, and they quietly forgave him.
Although because Chu Xingchen was the queen, they felt that Shen Cangzhu should go through fire and water for her, but they would occasionally put in a good word for Shen Cangzhu.
Chu Xingchen froze when she heard this. She was thinking of Zhou Buyan just now.
Qiu Lai didn't know what Chu Xingchen was thinking, and was still comforting her secretly, "Although Mr. Shen is in pain every day, he certainly doesn't want Your Majesty to suffer too. Your Majesty, don't worry, the entire palace is closely following Mr. Shen now."
Chu Xingchen hummed, yes, Shen Cangzhu was in pain, she suffered for him every day, and she was really grateful.
But occasionally she would feel overwhelmed, feeling guilty but unable to do anything about it. Although no one would say that Shen Cangzhu was her savior and what should she do, she could not get over that hurdle in her heart and regarded this as nothing. Of course.
Shen Cangzhu's intention was very clear. He had achieved this step, but she did not respond with the same emotion.
So she felt guilty, and even thought about not saying anything for a week, as if she was sorry for him.
Chu Xingchen asked Qiu Lai to get down and pulled the quilt over his head.
The timing is always so wonderful. She wanted to be the most important person to him before, but he failed to do it.
She was disheartened, no longer in love, and wanted to forget him, but he did this.
She and Zhou Buyan said that life-saving grace did not necessarily mean having to commit suicide, but Shen Cangzhu was in such pain, could she turn around and ignore everything and selfishly only care about her own feelings?
