When Chu Xingchen nodded and was about to leave first, Shen Cangzhu looked at him and said hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, I will ask someone to serve you. Breakfast is also ready."
"No, I'm leaving first."
She had to go find Zhou Buyan. Zhou Buyan would definitely be sad if he also misunderstood. She had to find him as soon as possible and explain things clearly to him.
When Chu Xingchen came out of the palace, the people in Mingxuan Palace saluted with joy when they saw her. There was a sense of joy in the palace, and their waists seemed to straighten up a bit.
It wasn't like this before.
Although Shen Cangzhu and the others did not live by her favor, she had never treated them badly, and no one dared to be rude to them, but Chu Xingchen had to admit that this was a harem after all, and this was reality.
When Chu Xingchen came to see Zhou Buyan, everyone in the palace knew that His Majesty Shen Jun was staying over on his birthday and the two of them had already consummated their marriage.
As expected, the news will soon spread outside the palace.
The Emperor was very pleased to hear the news, "Finally he is sensible."
Everyone thought it was very good, except Zhou Buyan.
Zhou Buyan walked back to the palace in the snow before dawn. He did not go back to Liangyi Palace, but back to Tao Ranju.
When Chu Xingchen found him, he was looking at the snow. His head and body were covered with white snow, and even his eyelashes were stained with snowflakes. He was like a snow god transformed from snowflakes, and he would merge with the snowflakes in the sky in the next second.
Chu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat, "Zhou Buyan!"
She shouted, and Zhou Buyan turned his head and looked up at Chu Xingchen, his eyes empty and gloomy.
There was a murderous look between his brows, and his eyes were sharp and heavy, revealing danger, like an out-of-control robot, hovering on the edge of madness.
With such a look in his eyes, he changed from a snow god to a fallen immortal in an instant, charming and dangerous.
After Chu Xingchen saw it clearly, he was shocked for a moment. He thought he had misunderstood, but he ran towards Zhou Buyan without hesitation.
She ran so fast that when she got close to Zhou Buyan, she tripped over the snow under her feet and almost fell into Zhou Buyan's arms.
"Zhou Buyan, I did not consummate the marriage with Shen Cangzhu."
Chu Xingchen didn't say any nonsense and explained as quickly as possible, "Nothing happened to us last night. I just accidentally slept at his place for one night."
Zhou Buyan was approaching her, and when he saw her fall, he moved faster than his thoughts and carefully supported her. When he heard her explanation, he raised his head suddenly, without saying a word, but Chu Xingchen's heart suddenly felt sour.
She had previously accused Zhou Buyan of pretending to be innocent and pitiful, but today she realized that he was really aggrieved and sad like this.
"I told you before, I only want you."
Chu Xingchen felt distressed and brushed off the snow on Zhou Buyan's body, "It's snowing so hard, you don't know how to hide, you're probably freezing."
Zhou Buyan took Chu Xingchen's hand, which had become cold from beating the snow, "Your Majesty, please don't let your hands get cold."
He patted the snow on himself and said, "I'm not cold..."
"How could it not be cold?" Chu Xingchen hugged Zhou Buyan. Zhou Buyan was so afraid of the cold that she wanted to break away, but Chu Xingchen held on tightly.
"Zhou Buyan, I won't break my promise casually. I really just want you. It's my problem. I made you...misunderstood and sad. I'm sorry."
Zhou Buyan's body was trembling, and he hugged Chu Xingchen tightly, like a person who had been living in darkness and finally saw the light.
No, it's not like that, it's just like that.
He was once again pulled out of the darkness by His Majesty.
He knew his own body and had told himself a long time ago that it would be a good idea for His Majesty to consummate their marriage, but when he came last night, he felt like thousands of arrows were piercing his heart.
His whole body was torn in half, and he was in so much pain that he felt as if his heart had died, and he fell directly into the darkness of hell. It was not until he heard her words that he felt alive again.
They did not consummate the marriage.
He hugged Chu Xingchen tightly, and thousands of words were melted into this hug.
Chu Xingchen's heart suddenly felt so sour. Thinking about it from his perspective, if she were in Zhou Buyan's position, she would definitely be so desperate that she would become disheartened and even end everything.
"I'm sorry, if you encounter a similar situation in the future, just remember that you and I have agreed to be together for the rest of our lives, and there will never be anyone else."
Zhou Buyan felt that the sounds in his ears had disappeared. He forgot to breathe and blink. He only felt that he was stepping on the clouds, so soft that he could not touch the ground.
This was an extravagant hope that he had never imagined. He seemed to have gone from hell to heaven in an instant, almost floating, but the next second he was overwhelmed by despair.
No, no, he is dying soon, how can he leave her alone.
What should he do, and what should she do?
Chu Xingchen looked at Zhou Buyan's expression, "Huh? Why do you look like this? You don't believe me?"
"No, I believe it."
"I believe you are unhappy because of your expression?"
"No, I'm happy."
Zhou Buyan smiled and hugged Chu Xingchen, reluctant to let go.
All the miracles in his life were brought about by her, again and again.
He originally only wanted a leaf to treasure, but she gave him the entire forest.
After learning how to hug, Zhou Buyan hugged Chu Xingchen, always protecting her head and caressing her gently, showing countless care and tenderness.
Every time, Chu Xingchen could feel that he loved her very much.
She likes this, it makes her feel very comfortable every time, and it makes her feel very safe.
Chu Xingchen closed his eyes and softly explained to him what happened last night. As he was talking, he suddenly asked, "Zhou Buyan, did you go to see me last night? You didn't think I was going to stay at Mingxuan Palace, did you?
?”
If you go looking for her, you should see that she turned into a salted fish at the mercy of others last night.
Zhou Buyan's hand paused slightly.
Chu Xingchen snorted, "It seems that I guessed it right, but I can't blame you or blame me for not being careful."
"It's my fault, I was wrong." Zhou Buyan was afraid of regretting when he heard this.
Chu Xingchen blinked and let go of Zhou Buyan, "Zhou Buyan, are you acting coquettishly?"
His tone just now was very cute.
Zhou Buyan's eyes widened, "I...I don't know how to act like a baby."
"Didn't you? I thought you were acting coquettishly. It seems that I might have mistaken my idea. Also, you are Zhou Buyan. How can a grown man act coquettishly towards a woman so easily?"
Zhou Buyan: "..."
Chu Xingchen pretended to be sad and wanted to leave, "I'm afraid I may never have the chance to see it again in this life."
Zhou Buyan saw that Chu Xingchen was about to leave, and when he got anxious, he grabbed Chu Xingchen's sleeve with his hand.
He remembered that Chu Xinghai seemed to be acting coquettishly with Chu Xingchen like this, pulling up his sleeves and shaking his body, while calling Sister Huang in a sweet voice.
But he doesn't shake his body, and he doesn't talk like that.
Just when Zhou Buyan was in trouble, Chu Xingchen suddenly burst into laughter.
"You are so coquettish...who did you learn to pull up your sleeves from?"
Zhou Buyan didn't say anything, but his little expression and pulled-up sleeves were too cute.
"Okay, okay, I see you are acting coquettishly, don't think too much in the future."
She thought for a while and said, "You are acting like a spoiled child. As a courtesy, I will also act like a spoiled child for you."
Chu Xingchen recalled how Chu Xinghai behaved like a baby, pulled Zhou Buyan's sleeve and shook it, "Brother Zhou, brother Buyan, I like you so much...hahaha."
Chu Xingchen couldn't help but laugh in the middle of his coquettish act. Zhou Buyan, who had bright eyes, looked at her and couldn't help laughing too.
"Haha, Zhou Buyan, you laughed too, you finally laughed." Chu Xingchen was satisfied.
Only then did Zhou Buyan realize that Chu Xingchen was doing it to make him laugh.
"Well, I laughed."
Zhou Buyan laughed again, and Chu Xingchen hugged him and exhaled, "I know, Zhou Buyan, if you truly love someone, it is impossible to accept her being intimate with other people. I understand that."
"I can't accept you being intimate with other people, and you can't accept it either."
Love is selfish. Unless you don't love, the only way is to be loyal to marriage.
Throughout the ages, many tragedies have been caused by failure to do these things.
"If I can't even do this, how can I have the nerve to say I like you."
If she couldn't even do this, wouldn't she become like her father in her previous life?
She doesn't want to end up growing up into the kind of person she hates the most.
She also didn't want to put Zhou Buyan in the position of her biological mother. He might not be that crazy, but his heart would definitely become riddled with holes.
She didn't want their children in the future to experience the pain she had experienced.
