Chapter 397: He is a handsome man after all
Zhou Chang didn't know why he couldn't say it.
After Wen Qingyan was furious, he was stunned. He didn't expect Prince Yi to have such an attitude. His gaze unconsciously shifted to Yuan Qi.
This place was not a place to stay for long, so Zhou Chang stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "You have done everything you wanted to do tonight, and she knows your feelings. Say whatever you want to tell her now."
"What do you mean, Your Highness? I was thinking of Qihua just now..., but we didn't..." Wen Qingyan's gaze shifted back from Yuan Qi. He was regretting that his rash words might bring trouble to Yuan Qi, but no matter how he explained it now, he couldn't make it clear.
Zhou Chang was wronged. From the beginning to the end, she was extremely sincere. But looking at Wen Qingyan's eyes, she knew that he had misunderstood again.
Wen Qingyan still felt that it was not enough, and patted his chest to assure: "Your Highness Prince Yi, I, Wen Qingyan, consider myself to be an open-minded gentleman. I may not have said some things clearly when I was drunk that day. My feelings for Miss Yuan are clear to all, I admit that, but since she married you, we have not had any contact, including tonight. From beginning to end, she did not even look at me, please do not misunderstand."
He said this passionately, but his eyes couldn't help but drift towards Yuan Qi.
At this time, the moon was at its zenith, and the silvery moonlight sprinkled on Wen Qingyan's aquamarine brocade robe as if it was covered with a layer of silver gauze.
His face had not yet fully regained its color, but under the moonlight and against the backdrop of his aquamarine robe, it seemed as if it was coated with a layer of holy light.
The description of Jia Baoyu's appearance in "Dream of Red Mansions" is nothing more than "his face is like the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and his complexion is like the flowers in the spring morning".
Zhou Chang and Wen Qingyan got closer, and when he looked closely at his eyebrows and eyes, he also had the feeling that "his temples were as if cut by a knife, his eyebrows were as if painted with ink, his face was like peach petals, and his eyes were like autumn waves".
The so-called idols I saw on TV in my previous life could only be called "handsome guys", but the one in front of me can be called a "handsome man".
A love-struck handsome man is the most attractive. Zhou Chang was also confused. Suddenly, his mind became confused for no reason. Prince Yi seemed dissatisfied.
"Does Your Highness understand?" Wen Qingyan came back to his senses from Yuan Qi. Fearing that he didn't understand, he took another step back. "I don't ask Your Highness to understand, but you must believe that Princess Yi is innocent."
Zhou Chang shook his head to calm himself down. He turned around and saw that Yuan Qi had no intention of talking, so he said, "This is the inner courtyard. We should not delay any longer. If you have nothing to say to her, go back quickly."
Wen Qingyan looked like he would not give up until he got an answer, but he was more worried about Yuan Qi and his eyes were always on him.
Zhou Chang also looked at Yuan Qi: "You..."
Yuan Qi turned his head away and couldn't see the face clearly.
Zhou Chang finally understood that Yuan Qi was unwilling to meet him under such circumstances, so he turned around and said to the thin monkey, "Monkey, you take the top scholar away first."
"Yes." The skinny monkey agreed and walked forward and made a gesture of invitation to Wen Qingyan.
Wen Qingyan gave all her star-like eyes to Yuan Qi, and then Ken left.
The skinny monkey went up and pulled him: "Wen Zhuangyuan, let's go."
"Your Highness Prince Yi..." Wen Qingyan seemed to want to confirm with Zhou Chang.
Yuan Qi finally spoke, his voice cold and gentle: "Mr. Wen, please go back. You shouldn't be here tonight."
When she said this, she didn't look at Wen Qingyan or Zhou Chang, but looked up at the moon, without any emotion visible.
Wen Qingyan's bright, star-like eyes suddenly split open, and his entire soul seemed to be shattered into pieces.
"I have nothing much to say, take care of yourself." Yuan Qi couldn't bear it and said one more sentence.
"Qihua..." Wen Qingyan seemed to finally hear the heavenly voice, and her starry eyes were filled with tears.
Yuan Qi, however, had already turned away completely, not even showing his face.
The skinny monkey didn't care about that and started to pull him again: "Let's go, Wen Zhuangyuan. It's inappropriate to say anything now."
Wen Qingyan twitched the corners of his mouth. He really didn't know what to say. He was like a soulless puppet. His head followed Yuan Qi's figure, his body twisted into strange angles, and he was pulled away by the skinny monkey.
Zhou Chang watched Wen Qingyan leave before saying to Yuan Qi, "Let's go back too."
"Okay..." Yuan Qi uttered this word as if he had used up all his strength.
Zhou Chang took Yuan Qi out of the harem, while Lu Ju and Lu Ping followed from a distance behind.
The two of them were silent all the way.
Under the moonlight, the entire palace was filled with scorched earth and broken trees.
It was already past 11am and close to midnight. The palace servants, who had been busy for half the night, had gone to some corner to rest. Only the imperial guards patrolling back and forth, and the occasional cry of frightened wild beasts, reminded people that it was time to sleep.
It was so quiet that Zhou Chang's brain became a big clock filled with gears, and each gear was moving in a different route.
This palace coup was obviously a conspiracy between Prince Duan and Prince Xian, but in the end, Prince Duan ended up like this.
Broken leg?
Is it true or false?
And the ones who attacked her were not Prince Yi, the assassins in black.
I must have seen those eyes somewhere before, but the harder I tried to think, the harder it was to remember.
Tonight was supposed to be a great opportunity, but Prince Yi's wish was only half fulfilled.
And what about herself?
The fire in the Hunting Palace must have burned so many good things to ashes. With this in mind, it would be better to give them to her for "live streaming and selling goods".
Seeing the awkward situation between Yuan Qi and Wen Qingyan tonight, if one day she could become Yuan Qi again, would Wen Qingyan's soul still be there?
The more Zhou Chang thought about it, the more confused he became. He followed the winding steps, turning left and right, and unknowingly walked to a high corner pavilion.
"Your Highness..." There was no one around, so Yuan Qi suddenly stopped.
"What?" Zhou Chang turned his head.
Under the moonlight, Yuan Qi Qiuhong's sparkling eyes could even compete with the bright moon: "Did Your Majesty know in advance that something would happen tonight?"
Facing such a pair of eyes, it was difficult for Zhou Chang to lie: "I don't know."
Yuan Qi looked up at the night sky, with the moonlight on the lake in his eyes, and did not ask any more questions.
Zhou Chang also looked up at the moon. There were many things she couldn't explain clearly.
For a long time, Yuan Qi stared at them intently, and his voice became vague: "Your Highness, you know, those people seem to be coming for me and my brother, not to assassinate Your Majesty."
Zhou Chang felt the same way. He felt a little nervous and told the truth: "I feel the same way, but I don't know why. In this hunting palace, under the emperor's feet, neither you nor I have offended anyone, so we are not willing to take such a risk."
Too many things happened tonight, too many unexpected things, and I really can't imagine who would attack him and for what purpose.
Yuan Qi also nodded: "Your Majesty is right, so I was worrying too much..."
At this moment, a meteor streaked across the sky, followed by the second, the third...
"Look..." Zhou Chang's gloom suddenly disappeared.
"Is that a jinx?" Yuan Qi was also surprised.
"Didn't the Tianjiansi predict that there would be a meteor shower tonight? Let's make a wish quickly." Zhou Chang had already clasped his hands together.
