Chapter 290 Revisiting the Tower

Later, Chu Xingchen, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, came earlier than usual. It seemed that he had finished processing memorials in Chengzheng Hall and came directly, without even having time to change out of the dragon robe.

Su Yingxue was outside by the newly built pool. She ordered people to move in a rocking chair and a table, and put fruits and cold drinks on them. She sat in the rocking chair, leisurely feeding the koi in the pool with one hand, holding a small fan in the other, and smiling as she watched the koi in the pool splashing in the water for the food.

This was the scene Chu Xingchen saw when he walked into the Princess's Palace. The person in the rocking chair was feeding the carp, smiling carefreely.

He thought of the farewell scene when she jumped off the cliff that day, and the determination in her eyes. He had to admit that he was longing for Su Yingxue who was so carefree at the moment, and who had no hostility towards him at all.

Although I don't love him, I don't hate him either.

Just like a stranger, she looked at him with caution, but not with the stubbornness and determination she had before.

Maybe this is a good thing.

Since the past is so difficult for her, she might as well forget about it and start over.

Chu Xingchen's eyes were gentle and dark, hiding the faint uneasiness in his heart. He put on a gentle smile in the twilight and walked towards her.

"I heard from Lu Yao that my sister can remember some things today?" Chu Xingchen looked at Su Yingxue with gentle eyes and gentle words.

"There's a name, Liyue, that seems familiar."

Su Yingxue put down the folding fan and fish food in her hands and stood up from the recliner.

"Everything else is still a blank. I can't remember anything." Su Yingxue was a little annoyed. She looked up at the young emperor who was half a head taller than her and murmured softly, "You called me sister, but I can't remember it either. I heard from Lu Yao and the others that I was kind to you in the past."

"But I can't remember anything about you."

"I still can't remember anything about my past."

"But if I'm alone in the Princess's Palace, day after day, month after month, it's going to get a bit boring."

Su Yingxue lowered her eyelids slightly, revealing half of her sad eyes. She seemed a little lonely and desolate, but also seemed to be confiding, "Sometimes I think, if this Liyue had been friends with me in the past."

"And if I could spend more time with her, maybe I wouldn't be so lost in thought."

"If she could stay by my side like she did before she lost her memory, even if it was just chatting, doing handicrafts, arranging flowers, and just having some fun and companionship like other women, that would be great."

Su Yingxue sighed softly.

When Chu Xingchen saw Su Yingxue's loneliness, his heart tightened and he spoke without thinking.

"Li Yue is in the palace. Tomorrow, I'll have her come to the Princess' Palace so she can hang out with you."

Chu Xing looked at her tenderly with deep eyes and said softly, "If you feel bored in the future, ask Lu Yao to call her more often. After all, she is in the palace, and it is good to have a companion."

Chu Xingchen looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes dark and gentle.

After all, as long as she is willing to live in the Princess's Palace, everything will be fine.

Since my sister likes upright gentlemen, then he must be an upright gentleman. As long as she stays in the Princess Palace, one day, sincerity will finally break the stone. Isn't that right?

Dinner was quickly served, and exquisite delicacies were placed in fine porcelain and brought out one after another.

"Today the imperial kitchen prepared fresh lake food that was shipped in by express horse from the south. Sister, please try it."

Chu Xingchen waved away his attendants and washed her hands as usual.

Chu Xingchen used tools to remove the entire crab meat from the freshly steamed crab and put it into her bowl.

"Actually," Su Yingxue sighed and whispered as she looked at the gentle, considerate, and handsome young emperor in front of her, "you don't have to, because I can't even remember the slightest bit of your kindness in the past. You treated me so well."

"I always feel that I am unworthy of it."

Su Yingxue looked at Chu Xingchen, who was about to start peeling the crab meat. A bitter smile soon appeared on Chu Xingchen's face, and he said softly, "Sister, you can bear it."

"Sister once promised brother that she would never leave him and would be with him day and night."

"Even if you don't remember, I will wait for you and slowly remember the vows we made to each other."

Chu Xingchen changed the subject with a simple move. He didn't want her to remember everything. He just wanted to treat her well now.

When Su Yingxue heard this, her face turned slightly pale. She lowered her head, avoiding Chu Xingchen's gaze, but she was complaining about herself in her heart.

Su Yingxue, Su Yingxue, before you lost your memory, you must have been a scumbag. Otherwise, why would you be engaged to Mo Yunsheng, and provoke this "A-di" again, and make such an ambiguous promise to him?

You really brought this upon yourself. You deserve to be imprisoned in the palace and unable to go anywhere!

What was different this day was that after Chu Xingchen had his meal, he suggested taking Su Yingxue out of the palace.

The carriage took him and Su Yingxue to a private residence. Chu Xingchen took her hand and led her up a tall building.

"Where is this?" Su Yingxue stood on the high building, leaning on the railing and looking out. Not far away was the bustling city gate, and beyond it were the mountains stretching out in the darkness. On the other side was the bustling city itself. The present-day Great Sheng Capital was no longer the devastation left by the battles she had experienced when she first returned to the palace.

Today's new city is also bustling with people, rebuilt high-rise buildings, brightly lit streets and alleys, people like water, cars like tides, and it is bustling all the way. People live in peace and the shops are thriving.

Perhaps the prosperous dynasty has passed, the old country can be rebuilt, the old city can be rebuilt, and the people can choose to live in a new dynasty again.

"When I left Dasheng and returned to Daqi, my sister saw me off here."

Chu Xingchen's voice was low and hoarse, like the rustling sound of bamboo leaves in the cool night breeze.

"I forgot, you know."

Su Yingxue felt the cool night breeze blowing towards her and sighed in her heart.

"I know." Chu Xing said in a hoarse voice.

At that time, Chu Xingchen thought that when he came back, nothing could stop them from being together.

He offered the land of Qisheng as a betrothal gift to marry her and make her the most glorious and wealthy empress in the entire Qisheng continent.

But fate is a fickle thing.

"Since I came to see you off, I must have hoped that you would have a smooth journey and everything would go well."

Su Yingxue looked at the man holding a lantern beside her with a lonely face and a shabby figure, and couldn't help but comfort him.

"Sister," Chu Xingchen turned around and looked at Su Yingxue. The moonlight was like water. Above the tall building, the night breeze was blowing gently, and the sky was full of stars.

"If you feel bored in the palace, Xingchen will take you to visit folk street fairs and lantern festivals when you have free time in the future."

"My sister's favorite used to be available in the market, and it's very lively."

"Okay." Su Yingxue half lowered her eyelids and nodded.

······

The next afternoon, Su Liyue arrived at the Princess's Palace. She looked thin and haggard after such a long absence.

The moment Su Liyue entered the hall and saw Su Yingxue, she saw Su Yingxue looking at her with a strange and confused look, and her eyes suddenly turned slightly red.
