It's rare to see the prince with such an awkward expression, Chu Lian couldn't help but curve her lips into a smile and said with a hint of teasing: "I understand."

  Xu Yang felt that the atmosphere was even more awkward, so he turned around and walked out.

  Watching Xiang Yang leave, Chu Lian heaved a sigh of relief and thought to herself that the medicine was indeed potent, and then... those dreams. Thinking about the scenes in her dream, Chu Lian's gaze sank again.

  After trying the Yu Yan San, Chu Lian seemed to have some free time again for a few days. Although she was not as busy as when she followed You Meng to learn, she did not dare to relax at all, and every day she still studied according to You Meng's method.

  After a few days, Chu Lian Ruo calculated the date and found that tomorrow was July 15th. July 15th... Chu Lian Ruo's eyes sparkled as if she was thinking about something, and after a moment, she said: "Si Wei, make some preparations, tomorrow we will enter the palace to see Guiren."

  Si Wei heard that she was going into the palace and hurriedly went to prepare.

  As night fell, Chulianruo ordered Simicro to prepare dinner. Because the Qian Niao Pavilion originally had its own small kitchen, and Xuyang was rarely there for meals, Chulianruo was quite free.

  Just as Chu Lian had finished laying out the dishes, a tall figure appeared at the entrance. She raised her eyes to see Xū Yáng dressed in white.

  It seems that due to rumors, Xuyang has always been acting unrestrained and wearing bright-colored clothes. He rarely wears such plain colors. With a good complexion, he looks good in anything.

  Xu Yang walked in, and Chu Lian hurriedly went up to greet him. Xu Yang calmly lowered his eyes, which were filled with a fatigue that he couldn't hide: "Get up, I'll be having my meal here today."

  Chu Lianru was taken aback, since she entered the mansion, she had never seen such a tired Feng Wang, his usual self always wore an unrestrained or wanton smile on his face, although she knew that these smiles were all superficial disguises. This unhidden fatigue made her heart suddenly feel some desolation. However, Chu Lianru didn't ask much, she just let Si Wei serve the dishes.

  Xu Yang lowered his eyes and said, "Bring some wine over."

  Lost in thought for a moment, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chu Lianruo, who lowered her eyelids and nodded slightly.

  Xu Yang grabbed the wine and poured it into himself cup after cup, as if venting.

  Chu Lianruo looked at the white-clothed man in front of her, and those eyes that were always full of charm now had a heart-piercingly desolate color. However, Chu Lianruo did not stop him; sometimes being drunk was more bearable than being sober.

  I don't know how much he drank, but Xi Yang's originally bright eyes gradually became hazy. He raised his face to look at Chu Lian Ruo and smiled: "Who are you after all?"

  Chu Lian looked at Xuyang in front of her, who was unclear whether he was sober or not, and slightly furrowed his brow, but did not speak.

  Xu Yang seemed to have guessed that she wouldn't answer, and only smiled faintly, a desolate smile: "I know, Your Majesty, this is your secret. I too have secrets that cannot be spoken."

  As he spoke, King Ling revealed a childlike expression: "Today is the anniversary of my mother's death, but I cannot openly offer sacrifices. Haha, King Ling, what a ridiculous king I am."

  Chu Lian's face revealed a hint of surprise upon hearing this, what was going on again?

  Xu Yang's smile suddenly disappeared, and he seemed to calm down a lot, as if lost in thought. He chuckled softly: "Do you know how my father and mother met?"

  Chu Lian was taken aback, only remembering the rumors that Empress Meng was from a humble background. The previous emperor had met her while traveling incognito and fell deeply in love with her at first sight. Despite opposition from his ministers, he brought her into the palace and made her his empress. "Meng" is a homophone for "dream", implying that meeting her was like a dream come true, showing just how much favor she had received back then. Unfortunately, Empress Meng's life was short-lived, and she passed away early on. However, the story of the previous emperor and Empress Meng remained a legendary tale, passed down among the people.
