Quick Wear: Beautiful, Strong, Miserable, Whitening Guide

There was an imperceptible hint of...pleasure and amusement in Chu Ziyu's tone.

(6872: Σ(°△°|||)︴??? So cute?! (:3」∠) The boss's preferences... really make Tongxin stop...)

(Besides... how long can his fragile oath last? I'm looking forward to the moment... when he breaks it with his own hands.)

He stood by the bed, took one last look at Chu Ziyu's sleeping profile, turned around, and disappeared into the gradually brightening sky.

However, when Chu Ziyu finished his rest the next day, changed into court clothes and stepped into the Golden Palace.

The expected paranoid and painful gaze that would almost burn through his back did not appear.

All officials stood in order, bowed their heads and listened to the announcement. Everything was the same as usual.

The only thing left was the seat that should have been occupied by Lin Ci'an, which was empty.

In order to show his kindness and love for his son, the emperor appointed Lin Ci'an as a fifth-rank poison doctor.

Chu Ziyu's gaze paused for a moment on the empty seat, almost imperceptibly.

(6872, where are the others?)

(6872: ヾ(?°?°?)?? Report to the boss! The scan shows that Lin Ci'an did not leave the house today!

And... he asked for three days' leave from the palace, citing... uh... "illness.")

(Feeling unwell?)

The corners of Chu Ziyu's lips curved up imperceptibly. (After being so violent last night, you can't get out of bed today? Or...)

(6872: (*￣︶￣) According to energy fluctuation monitoring, he's in excellent health! His heartbeat is strong, and his Qi and blood are vigorous (his mood swings are a bit extreme, like a boiling pot). He doesn't look sick at all!)

(hide?)

Chu Ziyu lowered his eyelashes, hiding the dim light in his eyes.

(After making such harsh remarks, saying he would fight me till death, he turned around and hid away...

Lin Ci'an, your harsh words are a bit too blunt.)

The court meeting was still going on, discussing border food and river management, everything was normal.

Three days passed in a flash.

On the morning of the fourth day, when Lin Ci'an appeared in the Golden Palace again, his eyes subconsciously fell on Chu Ziyu. He was talking in a low voice with an old clan member beside him, leaving him with only a distant silhouette.

The bell for the end of court rang.

All officials left in order.

Lin Ci'an quickened his pace, hoping to "accidentally meet" Chu Ziyu on the long palace road.

However, Chu Ziyu's pace was always just right, one step faster or slower than his. He was always "just" surrounded by several ministers or clan members, chatting about irrelevant gossip, making it impossible for Lin Ci'an to get close to him.

Once, Lin Ci'an almost broke through the invisible human wall and was only three steps away from Chu Ziyu.

He could even smell the faint cold fragrance on the other person.

At this moment, Chu Ziyu seemed to have just noticed his presence and frowned very slightly, almost imperceptibly.

The movement was so fast that it seemed like an illusion. He then took half a step towards Wei Lin, who was walking side by side with him, without leaving any trace, and widened the distance between him and Lin Ci'an.

He continued to listen to Wei Lin's words without even glancing at Lin Ci'an, whose face suddenly darkened behind him.

(Oh, you're coming over here? Too bad I don't have time to keep you company.)

Several royal family members and young officials gathered around an old prince who was quite popular with the emperor and chatted with him. The topic naturally turned to the upcoming event.

The old prince, Chu Suizhang, stroked his beard and laughed loudly, obviously looking forward to the autumn hunt for a long time:

"Haha, speaking of which, the autumn hunt will begin in a few days. His Majesty has instructed that this year, it should be even more lively than in previous years!

I heard that some rare white deer have just been rounded up in the Western Garden. It's a great opportunity for all the young men to show off their skills!"

As he spoke, his eyes swept lovingly over the young people present, and happened to fall on Chu Ziyu, who was talking in a low voice with Wei Lin and was about to leave.

It also affected Lin Ci'an, who seemed to have slowed down his pace unintentionally not far away.
