Hualuo Chang'an

Chen Yu was sitting in a room on the second floor of the Ranxiang Building. Her complexion was indeed a little pale, her eyes were not as bright as usual, and her face was a little pale, but she still sat upright with her back straight.Qin Yuniang sat beside her, drinking tea and talking with her.Judging from the situation of the two of them, they should have been sitting for a long time.Probably Gong Yining just went out on the front foot, and Chen Yu came on the back foot.

Seeing Gong Yining and Luo Changxi coming in, Chen Yu asked without waiting for them to sit down: "Did you two go to Huayue Fourth Courtyard?"

Seeing that she spoke directly, Gong Yining stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "That's right. However, if I knew you would come, maybe I wouldn't go."

Chen Yu was not polite, but nodded his head.

"For making me wait all night, if you don't come again, I'm afraid I'll be tortured to death by this wind disease first."

It was only then that Luo Changxi remembered that it seemed that Su Wuniang had mentioned it before, saying that Chen Yu had a headache.Looking at it now, this Chen Yu is not in good health, always having seizures.

Chen Yu rubbed his forehead, and continued: "I'm not in good spirits at the moment, and I really can't say anything. The big boss should set aside a room for me to rest, and talk about it when I wake up tomorrow. I brought my own maid, clothes and There are also medicines, just ask for a quiet room."

Gong Yining was a little puzzled.

Hearing what Chen Yu meant, he didn't regard himself as an outsider at all.But she is not familiar with this Chen Yu at all, why did she suddenly come to her place to rest?Want a "quiet room" to live in?

But Luo Changxi understood, and agreed on behalf of Gong Yining.

"Then let's talk about it tomorrow."

Qin Yuniang glanced at Gong Yining, who hesitated for a while and nodded.Qin Yuniang hurried out to order someone to clean up the house, and then helped Chen Yu out by herself.

Gongyi stared at it for a long time, then asked Luo Changxi, "What does she mean?"

"You still don't understand?" Luo Changxi gave her a cold look, "I brought everything to the door and asked you to allocate a room for her..."

"Did she..."

"Have you forgotten how you promised her the conditions?"

Gongyi Ning was taken aback: "She wants to..."

"Obviously to stay."

This really surprised Gong Yining, how could it be possible?At the beginning, Chen Yu obviously said some cruel words of "I will never leave even if I die", but now he came running like a normal person?

Gong Yining asked suspiciously: "Could it be some kind of conspiracy?"

"No matter what, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Luo Changxi didn't think about it either, but she didn't think too much about it either, anyway, Chen Yu has already settled down, whether there is a conspiracy or she really wants to stay, everything will be revealed tomorrow.In order to deal with Chen Yu before, Gong Yining came up with a bad idea to ask Luo Changxi to act as the oiran. As a result, not only a case broke out, but also the name he wanted was not obtained. Now thinking about it, it is really ridiculous.At this time, Chen Yu came to the door by himself, no matter where he looked at it, it couldn't be worse than before.

On the second day, Luo Changxi got up early, thought about it, and picked out a dove-feather-colored dress to wear, but he didn't bother to comb his hair in a bun, so he tied it up with a ribbon as usual, just so nondescript go out.

The previous "kicking the door" incident was a bit absurd. Luo Changxi simply planned to show people in women's clothing in the future, and no matter whether it could suppress the rumors or spawn other even more terrible rumors, in short, it was already a mess anyway. It's okay, it's okay to be more confused.

It would be best to let the entire court know how "evil" she is as a princess, and no one would dare to be her consort. That would be the best.As for what Luo Mingde thought, she couldn't care less.

Walking all the way to Ranxiang Tower, passers-by looked at her somewhat strangely.

Although Luo Changxi was identified as a woman by Gongyi Ning when she first came to Ranxianglou, but later she became a frequent visitor, and everyone knew that she was the king of Chengning County, so they slowly told her about it. Forget it, at most, she just thought that Gong Yining was deliberately embarrassing her and talking nonsense.But now...

Luo Changxi actually came wearing a skirt.

Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't hide it.

Only Mama Zhang was used to big scenes, and she didn't find anything strange, so she quickly welcomed her in, and sent someone to inform Qin Yuniang.

When Gong Yining came out from the inner building, seeing her like this, she also laughed.

"Why are you wearing such a dull color?" Gong Yining took a closer look, then curled her lips and said, "It's really an advantage to be born good-looking, and it's not bad to wear such a weird color."

I don't know whether this remark is a compliment or a derogation.

Luo Changxi didn't care too much, just asked, "Where's Chen Yu?"

Gongyi Ning snorted, "You know you're thinking about her", but her eyes were still fixed on Luo Changxi, and she said, "Why don't you wear a bun? It's not like a man or a woman..."

"Who said that only men can tie their hair?" Luo Changxi was worried that she would be endless, so he explained one more sentence: "It is inconvenient for people who practice martial arts to comb their hair."

"Well, you make sense." Gongyi Ning had seen enough after watching for a long time, and then muttered in a low voice, "Anyway, it's so strange and pretty..."

Luo Changxi didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said..." Gong Yining said bitterly, "Let's go and see the fish you miss."

Luo Changxi didn't bother to pay attention to her, and went upstairs first, knowing the way.

Chen Yu's complexion looked much better than the day before, although he was still a bit haggard, but at least he was in good spirits.She was not surprised at all when she saw Luo Changxi's appearance in women's clothing, as if she had expected it a long time ago.

Gongyi Ning got straight to the point, sat down and said: "I know you are a straightforward person, so I will tell you directly. See what you mean, do you intend to stay in my Ranxianglou from now on?"

"good."

Chen Yu nodded.

"Why did you change your mind so easily?" Gong Yining said with a smile, "Didn't you still have your heart set on Su Wuniang before?" uncomfortable.

But Chen Yu was still unmoved, as if he didn't feel anything.

She quickly replied: "Before, I was wishful thinking, and my feet were deep in the mud."

In the ears of Gong Yining and Luo Changxi, these words definitely meant more than what they said on the surface.Gongyi Ning couldn't help but blinked at Luo Changxi, Luo Changxi frowned and gave her a sideways glance, she had no choice but to hold back her smile, and then asked: "It's not that I dare not accept you, but if you are with me For long-term planning in the Ranxiang Building, some things must be clearly stated first, otherwise if there is something unclear in the future, I will not be able to distinguish."

"That's natural."

After Chen Yu said this, he didn't speak for a long time.

Gongyi Ning got a little impatient waiting, and was about to speak, but Luo Changxi first asked an inexplicable question.

She said: "You are young, why do you have such a severe headache?"

Gong Yining was a little upset, she didn't expect Luo Changxi to care about people.But does he really like to care about people, or is it because Chen Yu is a beauty that he cares so much?Gongyi Ning was angry in her heart, and once again slandered, "To be good-looking is to take advantage of it".In fact, she used to be quite confident about her appearance.But now, with a peerless beauty Chen Yu appearing first, and seeing the beauty of Luo Changxi's red makeup, she really felt a little ashamed.

However, Chen Yu also replied with an inexplicable sentence.

"Your Highness is indeed as insightful as a torch."

What kind of riddle is this playing?Gong Yining couldn't understand at all.

Fortunately, Chen Yu soon began to explain.

"People who have met me say that I am beautiful, and that my skills are superb and unmatched. But in fact..." Chen Yu had a bit of bitterness on his face, "But no one knows, for these, I What I have suffered for ten years."

Gong Yining recalled it a bit.She remembered the weird feeling she had when she saw Chen Yu for the first time.Everything is just right, it doesn't seem to be natural, but it seems to be done deliberately.

"what do you mean……"

"There is no such thing as natural beauty in the world." Chen Yudan said, "Since ten years ago, I have been surrounded by four nuns who teach and guide. They eat and drink according to their beauty, and they do what they say. They are all compared with a ruler, besides playing the piano every day, I still play the piano. For the past ten years, I have followed the rules every day, even if I drink an extra sip of water."

"People who suffer from headaches are mostly because of worry." Luo Changxi said.

"That's right. After living like this, I worry and worry every day and night. I'm afraid that I'll make a mistake, that I won't be able to eat well, and I won't be able to sleep well." Chen Yu said again, "The only thing I get is to be raised on a piece of mud. A most beautiful flower came out."

Gong Yining finally understood.

It turns out that the peerless beauty is really "artificial".

Most of the things in this world are like this. If you have a firm mind, you will be more than half of it. If you persist in going through it day after day, what else can you not grow?

But from this point of view, Chen Yu is really a pitiful person.

"It doesn't make much sense to say it now, but do you know how much I have suffered?" Chen Yu looked indifferent, but what he said was horrifying, "My eyes were not good in the past, so Mother Jiao Yin used bamboo slices for me. I pinched my eyelids for several months. Later, I thought my calves were thick, and I didn’t know where I came up with the idea. I found a powerful person and broke some of my hamstrings..."

Gong Yining was covered in cold sweat when she heard this, and asked directly: "Such a weird method, who...is the idea...is...really useful?"

Chen Yuyan smiled: "Look at me now, do you think it's useful?"

"It's useful, that's..."

It's just too bitter.

Chen Yu has suffered for ten years, how did he do it?

"It's all for her. It's nothing to be willing to die for her. What's really difficult is that I am willing to live in such pain for her, and I know that this pain will never end, and I can't escape for the rest of my life." Chen Yu smiled wryly. , "However, over the past ten years, I have long been used to it and become numb, and I have long stopped treating myself as a person with feelings and emotions."

"Since you have been suffering for ten years and you are ready to suffer for the rest of your life, why did you suddenly give up and come to me instead?" Gong Yining couldn't help but become suspicious, "I don't know what Su Wuniang thinks, but I guessed your thoughts long ago. Ten years ago, maybe you were still grateful to her, but now, you clearly have other thoughts about her. "

"You are right. I am indeed interested in her." Chen Yu admitted very bluntly, "Because for the past ten years, I have been living like a living dead every day. Only when I saw her did I really feel that I am Still alive, my heart still beats."

Hearing this, Luo Changxi finally felt something.

When Luo Changxi was surprised when she heard Chen Yu describe how she became a peerless beauty, she didn't feel much.Probably because she has been practicing martial arts outside since she was a child, and she has suffered a lot, so she can understand the truth of it better.It doesn't matter whether you become a beauty or become a master.

But when she heard Chen Yu being so blunt and admitting his affection for Su Wuniang, Luo Changxi was really touched.

This is the second time.

The second time I heard a woman say that she liked another woman.

She is willing to suffer for many years because of her, and now she is leaving, I am afraid it is also the reason.

Chen Yu really went on to say: "Actually, you probably guessed it too. There is a huge force behind Su Wuniang controlling her, forcing her to do some shady things in Huayue Fourth Courtyard. Naturally, we It is also one of the pawns, and the target is Ling Xiang. I originally thought that if it was for her, I would suffer even all those hardships. Let alone seduce a man at this moment, I would be willing to die for her immediately. But……"

When Chen Yu said this in a hurry, he suddenly let out a long sigh, as if he finally let go of the depression buried in his heart.

"I later realized that I was wrong."
