"Your Majesty," Chunhua said at a loss, "What's wrong with you just being subdued? You just went to meet those people..."
Cheng Ning slowly turned around and looked at the two people leaving together, the corners of his lips feeling a little awkward.
She interrupted Chunhua: "You don't understand, he just wants to introduce me to others as a trophy."
Cheng Ning has Cheng Ning's pride.
She has never been anyone's trophy, and can calmly accept the malicious looks that everyone looks at her.
"Let's go back to the camp."
But when he turned around, he ran into Xie Qingyi again.
After a month of absence, Xie Qingyi only had a pink scar on her face, but her eyebrows were more restrained than when she first entered the palace.
After the last time, she must also know that Cheng Ning will use his tricks. Everyone has their own plans, so there is no need to pretend to be a snake.
Therefore, Cheng Ning wanted to pass by directly.
But Xie Qingyi stopped her again: "Sister Xi Fei."
She had a soft smile on her face: "Sister's temper is still the same as before, and she can easily get rid of His Majesty."
Cheng Ning stopped, looked back and smiled: "My sister is still the same as before, greeting everyone with a smile."
"Not necessarily," Xie Qingyi glanced at Cheng Ning: "At least Qingyi knows who is reliable and who is not."
Chunhua couldn't hear the connotation in her words: "Why are you talking to the empress?"
"It doesn't matter, tell me, who can I rely on?"
Xie Qingyi adjusted her clothes and followed the retreating Wei Yanzhou with eyes obsessed with him: "Of course it's your Majesty."
His Majesty, dressed in moon-white, is sitting on a high platform, accepting the kneeling worship of his ministers.
He has an extremely outstanding temperament, with his cold white chin half-hidden in his moon-white collar, and his expression is lazy and distant.
Beside him, Ouyang Xi was dressed in light shades, extremely gentle.
The two of them were like a pair of beautiful people.
As if feeling Cheng Ning's gaze, Wei Yanzhou turned his face sideways, but his eyes were full of coldness when he looked at her.
"Look, Your Majesty is angry with my sister." Xie Qingyi chuckled.
Cheng Ning looked back.
Xie Qingyi was still smiling, with a bit of pride in her smile: "Even if His Majesty is interested in my sister, it can't stop her from having a cold personality."
"I understand," Cheng Ning also smiled: "My sister is going to be the enthusiastic person."
Su Qingyi smiled and said nothing, and excused herself towards Cheng Ning Fuli: "My sister has to go to see her father and brother, so she can do what she wants."
Then he walked away.
Chunhua helped Cheng Ning go to the tent, and was quite dissatisfied: "Mother, you are too easy to bully. That concubine Hui is obviously looking for trouble on purpose."
Of course Cheng Ning knew whether it was intentional or not.
"Chunhua, am I cold-tempered?"
To be honest, it's quite cold.
But Chunhua didn't dare to tell the truth: "Your Majesty, I just don't like to argue."
Cheng Ning had to be non-quarrelsome, and she was eager to let His Majesty out.
Chunhua has never seen a master with such Buddha nature.
"Because if it's not mine, it's not mine." Cheng Ning sighed: "Even if we fight, we won't be able to keep it in the end."
Chunhua didn't understand what he said: "But your Majesty is not without affection towards the empress."
"I hope he doesn't do it either. He is just looking for the pleasure of revenge on me."
This way she won't feel guilty when she has to do something one day.
Chunhua still didn't understand. She wanted to ask, but Cheng Ning had already gotten into the tent.
She literally slept all day.
The first day of hunting was actually just a gathering, and there was a small campfire dinner in the evening.
Cheng Ning was awakened by the faint sound outside. She sat up on the felt, and Chunhua immediately put some clothes on her.
And he breathed a sigh of relief: "My queen, you are finally awake. You have slept for four hours! It is already dark."
If Cheng Ning doesn't wake up, Chunhua will want to call the imperial doctor.
A few rays of moonlight filtered into the camp, and it was indeed dark.
In the dim candlelight of the tent, Cheng Ning felt a little hungry, and the smell of meat from outside made her even hungrier.
"Is your Majesty hungry?" Chunhua tied her clothes and said, "But His Majesty ordered you not to give you any food. No one has come to bring you any food this whole day."
No one dared to disobey Wei Yanzhou's words.
Therefore, throughout the whole day, no one came to ask about Cheng Ning.
It was as if Concubine Xi did not exist.
There were two guards outside the camp, and even Chunhua's entry and exit were checked.
"I wanted to steal a bun for you, but they threw my bun away!"
She was so angry that if she hadn't thought about Cheng Ning sleeping, she would have almost quarreled with those two people.
Cheng Ning flattered her: "They also acted according to orders, and they were not punished for being good or bad."
"But Your Majesty, he went too far. My dear, you just drank a bowl of medicine this morning. How can you hold on?"
Cheng Ning suddenly said: "Chunhua, lend me your clothes and I'll go out to find food."
What?
Chunhua opened her eyes wide: "Empress, they will find out!"
And if she stays in this camp, what if Wei Yanzhou suddenly runs over?
"Don't be afraid. I'm just going out to find food. Even if Wei Yanzhou finds something, the punishment won't be severe. Don't worry."
"But-but,"
Chunhua remembered the time when she was knocked unconscious by Cheng Ning and changed her clothes in Linhua Palace a month ago.
She never asked Cheng Ning.
Where did he go that night?
"Mother, are you really going to find something to eat?"
As far as she knew, Cheng Ning was not a person with a strong appetite. Even if His Majesty cut off her food, he might not want to go find something to eat.
She felt that Cheng Ning was doing something dangerous without telling her.
Cheng Ning knew that Chunhua was a sensitive girl, and she had already become suspicious of her behavior last time.
But Cheng Ning was used to being a loner, and she never wanted to involve innocent people in anything she did.
The less you know, the safer you are.
"Chunhua, you have been following me for several months, so you should know my temperament, right?"
Chunhua nodded. She knew and understood Cheng Ning's situation, but: "My dear, you really can't trust me, right?"
She asked so directly that Cheng Ning stopped moving.
"Although you are kind to me, you never reveal anything about the Cheng family to me because you suspect that I am His Majesty's."
Chunhua's eyes were burning.
It turns out she knew everything.
Whether it was matters in Yong'an Palace or going to prison that night, Cheng Ning avoided Chunhua.
She did mean it.
Because Chunhua was not brought out by her, she didn't dare to trust him completely. This was one of the reasons.
But in fact, there are still thoughts that don't want Chunhua to be involved.
The Cheng family's affairs were all about taking risks, whether they succeeded or not, in the end she couldn't escape the fate of breaking up with Wei Yanzhou.
When the time comes, will the entire Linhua Palace be dragged along to bury her with her?
If Chunhua was not from Wei Yanzhou, and if she didn't know about it, Cheng Ning could finally find a way to keep her.
Everyone's life is precious, and every one who can take it is one.
Cheng Ning sighed softly: "Just take it as such."
It would be nice if Chunhua wasn't so smart, she could use it in an irrelevant way and not get involved too deeply.
"I'm taking advantage of you," Cheng Ning looked at Chunhua, "I'm also guarding you because I can't trust you."
