A dream ends life

Qingzhou City

In the big house in West City

Su Ci wore a rare light purple dress with a pattern of butterflies and flowers, and a headpiece of the same color.

She applied a light layer of powder on her face and pursed her red lips, and her complexion immediately became much better.

"Master is so beautiful!" Chunshui exclaimed, with some redness in his eyes.

The master hasn't been in good spirits for so long that she almost forgot what her previous master was like.

The sight of him taking medicine every day made her feel heartbroken.

Su Ci looked at herself in the mirror, smiled and said, "Okay, let's go!"

The master and servant came out of the room and walked towards the front yard.

In the main hall of the front yard, Xiao Che sat in the main seat and sipped his tea slowly.

The morning sun shone on Su Ci, as if giving her a halo.

Xiao Che's mind was shaken. He couldn't take his eyes off the dazzling Su Ci.

My heart was pounding and I felt a little dazed.

Su Ci smiled at him and sat opposite him.

The servants brought the breakfast in an orderly manner and placed it on the square table between the two of them.

The table was filled with meals carefully prepared by the servants in the house, including steamed dumplings, porridge, meat patties, steamed buns, and a few exquisite side dishes.

Xiao Che has been a vegetarian for many years and never eats meat, but every time he has a meal with Su Ci, there will be some meat on the table.

Su Ci pulled the meat pie towards herself and pushed the porridge towards Xiao Che.

She didn't like eating plain porridge, and even hated it. During the time when she was injured and bedridden, she could only eat plain porridge every day, and she had long since had enough.

Xiao Che used his white and slender hands to take a spoon, scooped a bowl of porridge and pushed it in front of Su Ci. He also scooped a bowl for himself.

Looking at Su Ci chewing on the meat pie, there was a barely perceptible smile in his eyes.

He knew that the little woman didn't like porridge. He knew it during the few days in the mountains.

But every time he served her some, she would not refuse and would finish the porridge obediently.

Su Ci ate two meat patties in a row and drank a bowl of porridge. Seeing the soup next to it, he ate a small bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup.

Xiao Che's mouth curled up, he was in a good mood, and he ate another bowl of porridge.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Xiao Che looked up at Su Ci, feeling a little depressed. It turned out that she dressed herself up so beautifully not for him to see, but for going out.

"You want to go out?" The cold voice finally asked what was in his heart.

Su Ci nodded, "I'm going out to meet two friends. I probably won't be back at noon. Is there anywhere you want to go, Your Highness?"

Xiao Che pursed his lips, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, which were as beautiful as a banished immortal.

"No, I have nowhere to go."

Su Ci didn't know why, but after hearing his words, she felt some indescribable emotions in her heart.

His voice was as deep and pleasant as always, but she could hear a hint of loneliness in it. But what was he feeling lonely about?

She thought about it and realized that the Empress Dowager’s birthday was approaching, so perhaps Xiao Che was in a hurry to go to Huaxi City!

"If Your Majesty has something to do, you can leave first. There is no need to accommodate my daughter. I may have to stay in Qingzhou for a few more days." Su Ci said apologetically.

Xiao Che's trip must have been delayed by her, and she felt very sorry about it.

Along the way, their journey was not fast. They stopped and walked frequently, and occasionally passed through towns to stay for a few days, so that they were only more than a hundred miles away from Dingzhou City.

The weather was getting colder, and her body could not withstand the long-distance ride. The dry and cold autumn wind blew on her body, making her bones feel cold.

The group set out early, checked in early, and the journey was slowed down by her.

Xiao Che felt even worse. Did Su Ci want to break up with him? Was their relationship unacceptable to her?

"You really want me to leave?"

Su Ci...why are you so resentful?

Also, if she didn't want him to leave, he wouldn't leave?

"Not really. I just think His Majesty doesn't need to waste time in Qingzhou. The Empress Dowager..."

"Do you think it's a waste of time for us to be together?" Xiao Che stared at Su Ci without blinking, trying to see her attitude.

Su Ci lowered her eyes, not knowing how to respond.

Otherwise? She really couldn't figure out why Xiao Che stayed here.

This man seems gentle, shows no desires and is not aggressive at all.

In fact, his inherent coldness and aloofness discourages people from approaching him. It's not that he is non-aggressive. It's just that the things in the world don't catch his eyes, let alone his heart, so he doesn't care.

She didn't have the confidence that she was different enough to make him worry about her.

Even though the two of them indulged themselves for a few days, it didn't make her so arrogant as to think she was different from others.

A man like Xiao Che, regardless of status or appearance, could have any woman he wanted.

If he just beckoned her finger, even the young girls who had just come of age would rush to marry him.

After they established that relationship, both of them tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again, which meant they agreed that it was just a game between adults.

Anyone who cares is a fool.

Thinking of this, Su Ci smiled and said, "I didn't mean that. I just didn't want to delay your business. Your Majesty, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"I'll go to Chunfeng Tower. If the prince has anything to do, just send someone to look for me there."

After saying that, Su Ci stood up, bowed, and walked out.

Feeling the burning gaze behind him, he did not turn back and walked out of the house with Chunshui.

Xiao Che looked at her back and frowned slightly.

He and Su Ci had already had physical contact, and they owned each other. Why was Su Ci's attitude towards him still so unpredictable?

He got up and walked out.

"Master, where are you going?" He Wei looked at him weakly.

Xiao Che uttered three words: "Spring Breeze Tower!"

He wanted to see who Su Ci was going to meet.

He Wei opened his mouth but said nothing. He could never interfere in his master's affairs.

Isn't it just following Madam Su? Isn't that simple?

When they arrived at Chunfeng Tower, He Wei scratched his head and sighed in his heart, "It is indeed Chunfeng Tower, so arrogant, so arrogant!" He pointed to the next door to Xiao Che and told him that Su Ci was inside.

Su Ci was indeed next door, and there was more than one person.

In addition to the master and servant, there was also a quirky little fat girl and a tall young man.

The chubby little girl is still as round and plump as ever, which makes people happy when they see her.

She blinked her big eyes at Su Ci and said, "Woman, this is Qi Baixiao, the owner of Baixiao Qianji Tower."

The fat girl said this with a smug look in her eyes.

Look at how handsome her senior brother is, how tall and strong he is, how powerful and strong he is!

Su Ci looked at Qi Baixiao.

Qi Baixiao was wearing a purple satin robe, with bright eyes and smooth lines. He was indeed a handsome man.

I glanced at my clothes and, uh, the colors clashed, which was a bit embarrassing.

If you don’t know, you might think the two of them have some relationship.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of cups breaking in the private room next door.
