C247 The Heart Has Secrets

In the middle of the night, Xuanyuan Chen extinguished the lights in the lanterns, and with the faint moonlight, he touched his bed and laid down, facing Xuanyuan Chen.

Xuanyuan Chen's eyes were bright, as if they were suffused with a faint light. He covered the two with the Phoenix Cover, and then, Xie Qingrong loosened one of her hands on Xuanyuan Chen's waist.

Xuanyuan Chen reached out and wrapped his arm around Xie Qingrong's waist, and whispered: "Go to sleep."

Xie Qingrong pursed her lips and said softly: "I hope that Wen Yan can obtain her happiness. She lives in too much depression and also lives in too much grief.

Xuanyuan Chen raised a hand and lightly patted Xie Qingrong's back, and said with a low voice. "All these years, I've troubled her."

It wasn't that no one tried to persuade Zhangsun Wenyan, but Zhangsun Wenyan had always treated their words as wind blowing past her ears.

They thought that Zhangsun Wenyan's entire life would be ruined like this, because the living would never be able to fight over the dead. At the best of her memories, the death of the person she treasured the most was a kind of pain, and in the decades that followed, this beauty would be magnified to the point that she would indulge in pain.

Now, Zhangsun Wenyan could walk out by herself, could also be considered to be a type of true release.

Xie Qingrong blinked her eyes at Xuanyuan Chen and proposed: "When we return from Chu Country, we will meet the person Wen Yan loves, Li Chengrui. "Okay?"

"Yes." Xuanyuan Chen replied softly as he closed his eyes, the gentle sound of his breathing gradually drifted over. Xie Qingrong also closed his eyes right after.

As if he had sensed that the person beside him had already fallen into a sweet dream, Xuanyuan Chen opened his eyes. Under the shine of the moonlight, the faint curve of the corner of his mouth could clearly be seen.

Involuntarily, Xuanyuan Chen kissed the corner of Xie Qingrong's mouth, and then, with satisfaction, hugged Xie Qingrong, and fell asleep with her.

Butler Meng heard from Xuanyuan Chen the day before that they were going out for another month or so. They woke up early in the morning to pack their things, clothes, silver, and so on.

It was like breaking a heart.

When Xuanyuan Chen held Xie Qingrong's small hand and walked from the courtyard to the main hall, he saw Butler Meng placing a pile of things on the table.

Xie Qingrong pointed to a pile of things on the table and asked with some doubt: "Old Meng, are we going to throw away these things? Do you still want to sell it? "

Butler Meng laughed: "Royal Concubine, this old servant had to organize these things for a long time before I managed to tidy them up. Remember to bring it with you. Inside is what you need within a month. "

Even though Xie Qingrong's heart was extremely strong and indifferent, the corners of her mouth still twitched unnoticeably when she saw the items piled up on the table. She said somewhat helplessly, "Old Meng, we don't need to salute so much. We did go out because we had something to do, not to sightsee. "

Butler Meng wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said a little embarrassedly, "Sorry for making the wangfei laugh, this old servant will start preparing again."

As he spoke, he ordered the people to clean up the items on the table and rushed down to prepare.

Xie Qingrong shrugged her shoulders helplessly. Although the Butler Meng had done something bad out of good will, she was extremely touched. This kind of days of being cared for seemed to be not bad.

Xuanyuan Chen pushed the two strands of hair next to Xie Qingrong's face behind his ear and said with a smile. "My life has always been taken care of by Old Meng, and now that you are the mistress of the Duke Palaces and also someone I love, it is only natural that this Old Meng will love your house."

Shen Haoxuan swaggered into the main hall, and saw the deep affection in Xuanyuan Chen's and Xie Qingrong's eyes, and felt like there was a sweet arrow piercing his heart.

Early in the morning, seeing such a soul-stirring yet glaring scene was a great test of his little heart.

Butler Meng put away his reorganized bag and took out three safety talismans from his chest while chuckling, "My prince, my princess, my lord, this old servant has found these safety talismans in the temple. Although I don't know if it will work, but it can be considered as the old servant's intention. "

Xuanyuan Chen laughed, received the safety talisman, and placed it in his lap. Shen Haoxuan also quickly took the safety talisman, and this was the first time he received such undisguised concern.

He felt a warm feeling in his heart.

This time, they were going to the border of the Chu Country to retrieve their metazoan flower. Compared to the previous trip to the Royal Family of the State of Yue to retrieve his Soul-Breaking Grass, although there was no difference in essence, but compared to last time, there was plenty of time.

Last time, the Emperor Xuanyuan was in danger, their lives were on the line, and they had to rely on Soul-Breaking Grass to extend their lives, so they travelled day and night to head to Yue Country.

But this time, Emperor Xuanyuan still had a long time remaining, so Xuanyuan Chen decided to leisurely stroll around with Xie Qingrong.

Shen Haoxuan found some firewood and lit the fire. He sat down on the ground and waited for Xuanyuan Chen to take a few fish he got from the stream. After cleaning them, he used a branch to roast the fish.

Xie Qingrong looked at Xuanyuan Chen's skillful actions of roasting the fish, and was startled, then joked: "Chen, I always said that you were a gentleman who only knew how to cook far away, I never thought that you would be so skilled in roasting the fish, I wonder how skilled you are."

Xuanyuan Chen gently scratched her straight nose and laughed: "In the past, when I lived in the army camp, grilling fish and roasting meat was a common occurrence, I have long since gotten used to it. However, it's been many years since I've returned from the military, and I haven't done it myself.

The smell of the fish slowly spread out through the fire. Xie Qingrong moved her nose and smelled the smell of the fish.

Very quickly, Xuanyuan Chen passed the grilled fish to Xie Qingrong. As for Shen Haoxuan, he was holding onto a branch and slowly grilling the fish.

Xie Qingrong set her gaze on the roasted fish in Shen Haoxuan's hands and asked indifferently: "What about you?"

Shen Haoxuan pointed to himself in confusion. Seeing Xie Qingrong give him a look that seemed like he was looking at an idiot, he unconsciously curled his lips and said, "Me?

"Yes." Xie Qingrong replied softly, lowered her eyes, and slowly ate the roasted fish in her hands.

Mn, it was very fragrant, Xuanyuan Chen's grilled fish skills were very good.

Actually, his roasting skills were quite good as well. It was just that those were things from his previous life.

The hand Xuanyuan Chen was holding the roasted fish with suddenly paused, and his cold gaze turned towards Xie Qingrong. Seeing how she was eating the roasted fish without the slightest bit of hesitation, he was a little suspicious in his heart.

Just now, he clearly felt a somewhat dark aura being emitted from Xie Qingrong's body, but it quickly disappeared.

Was it an illusion?

Xie Qingrong sighed in her heart. Xuanyuan Chen's intuition was still as sharp as ever, and he had only revealed a tiny bit of his own aura before had already noticed it.

However, should she tell him her secret?
