Chapter 592 - Tsukisho-sama Chitose 17
Such a thought appeared in her heart, how could she have treated him so carefully and tenderly.
Every time I see her, she is cold and indifferent.
So in the rare closeness, I was afraid that I would make mistakes and make her unhappy.
This kind of unreasonable thought made him puzzled, and he wanted to find out, but he was discouraged.
The stinging feeling that was so cold to my heart last night is still fresh in my memory. Everyone seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. Of course, he chooses what is beneficial to himself.
After drinking the medicine, he fell asleep again, and was finally fully awake until near noon.
Consciousness returned to the cage, Chu Zhi sat on the bed, and slowly remembered the care of his younger sister when he was in a coma with a high fever.
Although there is still some discomfort, it is much better than the morning.
His physical fitness is very good, and generally speaking, it is not easy to get sick, let alone a high fever and unconsciousness.
Chu Zhi put on his coat and was about to put on his shoes to go out, when he accidentally saw that the soles of the shoes were stained with slush, leaving several footprints on the ground.
He clearly remembered that when he returned to the room last night, he deliberately rubbed off the slush from the soles of his shoes and did not leave footprints in the house.
But the footprints on the ground clearly told him that he had gone out at night and stayed for a long time, so he caught a cold.
For a moment, the waves in his dark pupils trembled violently, and a dark storm surged, as if he had touched an edge.
It was the desperation he didn’t want to remember, and he didn’t want to experience again.
because of fear.
He stretched out his hand and pinched himself silently, it was painful, not a dream.
It’s true at the moment.
Chu Zhi’s eyes fell on the furnishings in the house. These were also true. They were the Huai’an Prince’s Mansion that he was not familiar with and had never visited before.
He stared blankly at one place, unable to calm down for a long time.
Confused and afraid to know why.
The windows in the room were tightened, and only one candle was lit in the room. The light was a little dim, his face was covered with shadows, and the boy was stained with a gloomy color.
Footsteps came from outside the door, the sound was neither light nor heavy, and he could easily tell it was the little junior sister.
The door was opened, and the light from the outside came in, dispelling the shadows in the house.
Luo Ci walked in front, and Ming Cui followed behind with the food box.
Originally, she wanted to come alone, but Mingcui was worried about her. In addition, the food box was still a little heavy, and it was slippery in the snow. Mingcui was worried that the county master would fall.
“Senior brother is awake!” She ran over excitedly, her brows and eyes curved, as if she was extremely happy.
Chu Zhi restrained his previous depression, and his voice was slightly hoarse, “Well.”
Mingcui silently set the meal, and then quietly exited the door.
Today, the county master specially let her take a day off. She thought about the presence of Mr. Chu, and the Lantern Festival activities in the capital at night. I thought it was inconvenient for her to disturb her, so she did not refuse.
It’s just that Young Master Chu couldn’t wake up with a high fever in the early morning, so she didn’t leave the county master’s side to help with something.
The original intention of the county master was to let her rest and celebrate the festival, but there is no festival to celebrate.
She has no relatives.
Mingcui followed the road, preparing to go back to her residence. Unlike the other servants in the palace, she was very determined in recent years and had her own residence, not a shared residence.
On the way back to the room, he met a white-robed Chasing Blade, who stood quietly on the spot, like a sharp sword that could go out of his body at any time.
When he saw her, he was obviously a little embarrassed, and he asked, “Do you want to go shopping in the capital tonight?”
In the past three years, he has been very clear about his own thoughts, and almost everyone in the palace knows about it, and the sisters who used to work together persuade her to agree.
After all, Chai Ran is the subordinate of the prince. Unlike the servants like them, there is a big gap in identity. If you marry him, you will be free from slave status and can be regarded as a serious lady.
But Mingcui felt that there was nothing wrong with being the maid of the county master. The palace treated her very well, and the county master never treated herself harshly. She felt respect.
There are so many things to consider when getting married.
Because she saw her mother’s death with her own eyes and was sold to her by her biological father when she was very young, it left her with a shadow that was difficult to heal.
She is afraid and resists getting married.
Mingcui has refused many times, but Chai Ren still refuses to give up.
She shook her head, and her voice was as cold and distant as possible, but before she could finish speaking, she heard Chasing Blade’s loud voice, “This time, if you still don’t want to, I won’t force it any more.”
She opened her lips and met Chai Ren’s eyes, “…Okay.”

During the meal, Chu Zhi watched Luo Ci serve himself vegetables from time to time, as if he was very weak and needed to eat more to replenish his body, which made him a little funny.
“You don’t need to add vegetables for me.” The vegetables were cold when she finished eating them.
Seeing that his appetite was still good, Luo Ci was relieved. It was good to have an appetite, indicating that the condition did not have much impact and he recovered well.
But she was still a little puzzled by the fact that the fragments were ill, she couldn’t help but ask, “How can senior brother catch a cold?”
While chewing on the vegetables, she looked at herself. Chu Zhi was inexplicably reluctant to give the specific reason, but only took it lightly, “Perhaps it was the chill I caught on the road yesterday, and it didn’t break out until last night.”
She nodded, reluctantly agreeing to his words.
Not impossible.
“When Senior Brother returns to the villa, don’t drive alone again.”
“good.”
Chu Zhi thought of the important matter of his trip, “How about we go out together after dinner?”
The reason why he was in such a hurry was that he wanted to spend the Lantern Festival with her.
Xu Shi received her kit when he was depressed this year. It was the lucky charm she asked for, or the boy’s other unknown thoughts made him have such thoughts.
“Okay.” Luo Ci nodded.
In previous years, there was a palace banquet during the Lantern Festival. In the past two years, the father and the king would take her with her, but the palace banquet was really boring, and because she was still young, the emperor did not specify that she must attend, so she could not go.
After receiving her affirmative reply, Chu Zhi’s sense of emptiness that had been frightened and worried by the emotions in the dream subsided a little, and he felt a lot more at ease.
He lowered his eyes slightly, caught a glimpse of the red rope around her neck, and the boy looked away uncomfortably.
No matter what the relationship is, just knowing that the jade pendant is half on him and half on her, makes one unable to bear the subtle emotions and begins to fantasize about it.
Chu Zhi coughed lightly and took a sip of tea to cover up his unnaturalness.
…
King Huai’an has been quite busy recently, but he still has time to spend the Lantern Festival with his daughter, but when he heard that Chu Zhi was going to play in the capital with his daughter, he dismissed it.
Young people are always more lively together, and that’s fine.
Anyway, he has to go to the palace banquet, and now everyone in the court is staring at him, and no mistakes are allowed, so as not to be exposed.
If he didn’t go to the banquet, there would be officials who would say that he had no respect for the emperor, and the emperor would be happy to see it.
