Chu Qingkuang couldn't help but stare blankly.

He raised his lips and smiled at her. This smile was like the spring breeze blowing open ten miles of peach blossoms, which was so enchanting.

"Are you awake? The medicine is ready by chance. Come and drink it quickly!"

Chu Qingkuang took a look at the surrounding environment. Behind her was a small house. At this moment, they were standing on the grass. Not far away was a winding road down the mountain.

"We are on the mountain now. I don't want anyone to disturb your recovery, so I brought you here."

Chu Qingkuang nodded. There was a small bench next to Zhong Lichen. She went over to sit down, took the medicine he handed over and drank it slowly.

"Have anyone from the Eastern Continent been here yet?"

Zhong Lichen put the medicine bowl aside and said, "No more, but something big happened in the Southern Dynasty when you were unconscious."

"Oh?" Chu Qingkuang suddenly thought, vaguely feeling that this matter had a lot to do with Nangong Xichao.

"The late emperor of the Southern Dynasty passed away, and King Yao Nangong Xichao inherited the throne."

Chu Qingkuang was confused, "What about Prince Nangong Chi?"

"The former emperor named him Prince of Liang to assist the new emperor in managing the world."

"But I think the prince will not be willing to accept it. Even if the prince is willing, the Zhennan Wang family will not be willing to accept it."

Zhong Lichen smiled calmly and said: "So there will be a big **** in the Southern Dynasty soon."

At this moment, I saw a group of people in palace clothes climbing up the mountain. Zhong Lichen frowned. It seemed that she couldn't escape. Even if he brought her here, she would still be there in the end.

was discovered by him.

The leader was an father-in-law. When he saw Chu Qingkuang, the father-in-law immediately smiled brightly and said: "Miss Chu, it seems you are really here."

She had met this father-in-law before, from Nangong Xichao's side, but he never gave him a good look every time she entered the palace. Why was he suddenly so flattering to her today?

"My father-in-law came all the way here to tell Qingkuang some happy news?"

The father-in-law smiled from ear to ear, "A happy event, a great event! Miss Chu, please accept the order."

Chu Qingkuang had no choice but to kneel down. The father-in-law slowly opened the imperial edict and read out, "Chu Qingkuang is frivolous, gentle and kind. Her beauty is so beautiful and touching that it comforts my heart. She is specially named Queen and will enter the palace in a few days!"

Chu Qingkuang looked at his father-in-law in shock. He didn't realize what was going on for a while. The father-in-law just thought that she was extremely happy and hurriedly urged: "Girl, hurry up and accept the order!"

Chu Qingkuang lowered his head and thought for a moment, wondering: "Eunuch, I'm afraid I can't accept this imperial edict."

The father-in-law was confused, "Why? This is a great good thing. How many people can't ask for it?"

Chu Qingkuang raised his head and looked at him steadily and said: "Father, please go back and tell the emperor that I cannot agree to his request."

The father-in-law looked very embarrassed and said cruelly: "Do you know that resisting the imperial decree is a serious crime? Aren't you afraid that your head will fall to the ground?"

Chu Qingkuang shook her head, "No one can force me to do anything I don't want to do."

The father-in-law had a bitter look on his face, "But you are clearly putting me in trouble by doing this. How will I explain it to the emperor when I go back?" He turned around and glanced at Zhong Lichen next to him, and immediately said: "Young master, please come and persuade Miss Chu.

Miss Chu has no reason to refuse such a good thing."

"Eunuch, since Miss Chu doesn't want it, don't make things difficult for you anymore. You can go back and communicate with the emperor. He understands everything."

The father-in-law was really in trouble and couldn't tell. After a long while, he sighed and said: "That's all. In fact, the emperor had already guessed that you would refuse, girl." After that, he took out a letter from his arms and stuffed it into Chu Qingkuang's hand and said: "That's all.

Well, this is the letter from the emperor to the girl. Please open it and read it after I leave. Alas, I really don’t know what you think, girl. You would refuse such a good thing. This is a good thing that many girls dream of.

ah!"

After speaking, he sighed again and again, shook his head and walked away.

"Why refuse? Isn't it good to be a queen?" Zhong Lichen walked behind her at some point and asked.

She turned to look at him and asked doubtfully: "Do you think I should accept it?"

Zhong Lichen shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think it's a pity that you refused."

Chu Qingkuang nodded in false agreement and said, "Indeed, I also think it's a pity. So now I'm going to chase that father-in-law back and say I regret it?" Then he left.

But Zhong Lichen grabbed her wrist, coughed lightly and said, "Father-in-law has already gone far, you can't catch up!"

"It doesn't matter. I'm faster on my feet. I should be able to catch up in a short time." After saying that, I wanted to break free from his hand.

He hurriedly tightened her grip, and suddenly brought her into his arms with force, and said in a gentle tone like the spring breeze in March: "Don't go! What's the benefit of being a queen? That's not what you want."

A warmth rose from the bottom of her heart. She held back her smile and asked, "You really want to know what I want."

However, he did not follow her words, but changed the subject and said: "Frivolous, actually I don't want you to go, don't become an accessory of any man, you are your independent self, and only I can give you

Everything you want."

Chu Qingkuang's eyes wandered, and she wanted to look up at him, but he pressed her head tightly in his arms, "I'm not as calm and composed as you think. I also have moments of shyness, so don't look at me!"

"So, now is the time for you to be shy?"

He nodded imperceptibly, and Chu Qingkuang no longer forced him, and just laughed softly.

She didn't know how long it took before he slowly let her go, and his face had returned to its previous calmness, making it impossible for her to associate the word "shy" with him.

"I want to go to the West to complete something."

A touch of sadness flashed through her heart, "When will you leave?"

"I may be leaving soon. This matter is very dangerous. I can't take you with me, so just wait for me here. I will be back soon."

From the moment she met him, she knew that he was a mysterious person. She didn't know how many identities he had behind him, but she knew that he had his own things to do.

"Since you said this is dangerous, you must be careful."

He nodded, "Of course I know this, so you don't have to worry about me."

Zhong Lichen went to bed immediately the next day, and her injuries were almost healed. It was not convenient to live alone in the mountain, so she moved down the mountain to live.
