Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

The corners of Chu Zixi's mouth rose slightly. She gently raised her hand and stroked her cheek, as if feeling the traces of time.

Then, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "I think I may have to leave Chu State soon." Her voice was not loud, but it was like a blockbuster bomb, causing a storm in Chu You and Chu Mengting's hearts.

The two of them widened their eyes with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

They looked at each other, trying to find the answer in each other's eyes, but in the end they could only shake their heads helplessly.

Chu You took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, and then asked softly: "Sister Zi Xi, what do you mean? Chu is your hometown, you just came back, why do you want to leave again?"

Chu Zixi smiled slightly, with an elusive emotion flashing in her eyes.

"You will understand when the time comes."

Chu You and Chu Mengting looked at each other. Although they were full of doubts and worries, they did not ask any further questions.

Along the way, they laughed and talked happily, as if they had forgotten all their troubles and worries.

They came to a beautiful garden, pointing to the blooming flowers and fluttering butterflies, and introduced the beautiful scenery here to her.

Chu Mengting walked briskly, her voice clear and pleasant, like a silver bell: "Sister Zixi, this is the Imperial Garden. Although our Chu Kingdom is covered by wind and snow all year round, this Imperial Garden has hot springs, so it is like spring all year round."

Chu Zixi smiled and nodded in response: "No wonder the temperature felt a lot warmer as soon as I walked in here."

Then, they came to a towering pavilion. Chu Mengting pointed to the observation deck on the top of the pavilion and said excitedly like a little rabbit, jumping up and down: "Look over there, it's one of the most beautiful places in the entire palace. You can overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire capital. Come on, let's go up and take a look!"

Chu Zixi followed Chu Mengting's footsteps and climbed onto the observation deck together. The moment they stepped onto the observation deck, the scene before them amazed them.

In the distance, the mountains are rolling and covered with snow, like a giant silver dragon winding and circling; in the near distance, there are palaces standing in rows, magnificent and magnificent. The streets in the city are crisscrossed, crowded with people, and very lively.

Chu Zixi stood quietly by the railing, looking into the distance, feeling an inexplicable surge of emotion in her heart.

She was immersed in the beautiful scenery, her thoughts drifting away, as if she had returned to the good old days.

Chu Mengting enthusiastically told Chu Zixi various stories and legends about the State of Chu. Some of these stories were deeply touching, while others were thrilling and exciting, and Chu Zixi was fascinated by them.

Chu Mengting took Chu Zixi's hand, pointed at a magnificent building with flying eaves and pointed corners in the distance, and said excitedly: "Over there is the library! It contains all kinds of rare books in the world, as many as ten thousand volumes! This is the place my brother and I like to go to the palace most. The emperor's uncle also asked us to go to the library more often to read more books and broaden our horizons. My brother and I can stay in the library for half a day every time we go there. If sister is interested, let's go over and take a look later."

Chu Zixi looked at this enthusiastic little cousin and nodded slightly to show her agreement.

Afterwards, Chu Zixi, Chu Mengting and Chu You set foot on the quiet path leading to the library.

Along the way, they laughed and talked constantly and were in a particularly happy mood.

When everyone walked into the library, a faint scent of ink and wood hit them in the face. The fragrance penetrated into the nose like gurgling water, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Everyone was attracted by the fragrance and slowed down their pace, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the moment.

They seemed to be in a secluded study, away from the hustle and bustle of life.

In this vast world of books, Chu Zixi, Chu Mengting and others were immersed in it, intoxicated. From time to time, they lowered their heads to read the books, and time slipped away quietly in the sound of turning pages, like a silent poem.

I don't know how long it took, the sun gradually set, and the afterglow of the sunset began to fall on the window lattices, illuminating the entire library with a golden glow.

At this time, Chu Mengting walked gently to Chu Zixi's side, her voice was a little gentle and anxious: "Sister Zixi, it's getting late. In a moment, those important officials of the court and their families will enter the palace for the banquet. Tonight, you are the focus of everyone's attention. Come, let's go back to Zhaoyang Palace and let me dress you up carefully."

Chu Zixi heard this and slowly stood up, gracefully stretching her limbs that were somewhat stiff from sitting for a long time, with a leisurely smile on her beautiful face, and said softly: "Okay, it's time to get ready."

Chu You, who was standing by, volunteered, "Sister Zi Xi, I'll go to the palace gate and wait for my father and mother."

Chu Zixi nodded slightly to show her agreement, then turned to look at Chu Mengting and said gently, "Then let's go too."

The two walked side by side and set out on the road back to Zhaoyang Palace.

Along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs saluted them one after another, their eyes full of awe and curiosity towards the princess who had just returned and was about to become the focus of the dinner.

When Chu Zixi and Chu Mengting walked into Zhaoyang Palace, there was already a group of palace maids busy preparing various gorgeous costumes and dazzling jewelry, waiting for Chu Zixi to choose.

While Chu Mengting was choosing clothes with great interest, she suggested excitedly: "Sister Zixi, how about this moon-white dress? Its color is simple and fresh, and paired with your gentle temperament, it will definitely make everyone's eyes light up!" Her voice was full of anticipation and enthusiasm.

Chu Zixi nodded slightly and let the little cousin she had just met play with her hair.

She usually wore plain makeup, but today she put on light makeup, which was rare. When Jun Feimo walked into this magnificent place with steady steps, his eyes were immediately attracted by an unusual color.

Chu Zixi was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, chatting and laughing with Chu Mengting.

Her face, with the help of cosmetics, looks even more charming and attractive. Her eyebrows are as graceful as distant mountains, her eyes are as bright as autumn water, and her lips are lightly coated with lipstick, just like peach blossoms in full bloom, both delicate and fresh and elegant.

Jun Feimo's pace slowed down unconsciously, and finally stopped completely, with an indescribable shock flashing in his eyes. He had never thought that Chu Zixi, who always showed her bare face, would be so charming after dressing up.

"Why are you stupid?" Chu Zixi laughed softly, her voice was clear and sweet, like a breeze in spring, gently brushing Jun Feimo's heart.

She turned around slowly, her bright eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, and she stared at him straightly, with a bit of teasing and tenderness.
