They did not return to their room. Chu Mo brought her to the pavilion in the middle of the lake and pulled open the curtains. The curtains around them were lowered slightly, and there was a charcoal stove in the middle. The charcoal fire was burning very brightly, so that people would not feel cold even in the cold winter. The floor was covered with a thick layer of blankets and a lot of food was placed on it. The faint fragrance of plum blossoms mixed with the smell of bamboo was very pleasant. Chu Mo took off his shoes and entered. The servant girl helped Li Zimeng take off her shoes as well. Li Zimeng jumped in high spirits.
"When did you get this? So unique!" Li Zimeng asked after examining it carefully.
"Just now. Do you like it?" Chu Mo sat down calmly and drank his tea.
"I like it, I like it, I like it very much.”Li Zimeng followed Chu Mo and sat down.
"I've sent someone to bring Lian 'er over. You can rest here so that we can set off tomorrow.”Since Chu Mo was so thoughtful, Li Zimeng's good impression of him increased by quite a bit.
"Oh! Alright, then can I sleep here for a while?”Li Zimeng looked at Chu Mo with a gentle gaze.
"Sure! Silly girl, this was originally prepared for you. The air outside is good, and you haven't slept well during this period of time. Hurry up and rest more.”Pillows, blankets, everything.
"Hey, how do you know that I haven't slept well recently?”Li Zimeng leaned closer to Chu Mo and asked suspiciously. The sudden close distance made Chu Mo unable to adjust in time as his heart thumped violently.
"You must be under a lot of pressure! How can you sleep under pressure?" Chu Mo found a random excuse.
"That's right! You're so smart. You can even guess this.”Li Zimeng sat up straight and did not ask any more questions, allowing Chu Mo to relax. In fact, during this period of time, Li Zimeng slept very little every night. Dancing also made her toes bleed. Li Zimeng sometimes wondered why. Was it for revenge? Or was it for something else? The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Fortunately, he had been very busy recently and had no time to think about it. Some things would not pass just because you didn't want to think about it. It was like today's relaxed day, but thinking about tomorrow still made him feel uneasy, uneasy, very uneasy.
When she woke up, the sky was almost dark. Chu Mo was long gone, and Lian 'er was guarding by her side.
"Lian 'er." Li Zimeng called out. Lian 'er put down the embroidery work in her hands and helped Li Zimeng put on the cloak.
"Miss, did you sleep well?" "Yes!" Li Zimeng nodded. It had been a long time since she had slept so well.
" When did you come?" It was getting dark outside and it was snowing, but it was still warm in the pavilion. Li Zimeng sat lazily.
"Have some food first! Miss, you didn't eat at noon." Li Zimeng nodded and the maids soon brought some good dishes.
"Where's His Highness?" Li Zimeng asked the servant girl who was serving the dishes. The servant girl said shyly.
"After you fell asleep, His Highness went out and asked the servants to be quiet so as not to disturb your rest.”That's right! There must be a lot of things to do tomorrow. He should go and set up the big picture. Such a man was gentle to women and serious about big things. It was rare to find such a man now. Now, he was still so good to her. Shouldn't she be glad and happy? However, he couldn't be happy.
"Miss, Miss." Lian 'er waved her hand in front of Li Zimeng's eyes and called out.
"What's wrong?" Li Zimeng came back to her senses.”
"The dishes are getting cold. What's wrong?”Lian 'er said worriedly. Miss's face was full of anxiety. Something must have happened. He couldn't help much and could only be anxious.
"I'm fine. I've just been too tired during this period of time.”Li Zimeng ate a few mouthfuls of rice, but she still felt that she had no appetite, so she asked the maids to leave.
The sky was already dark after the meal. The two of them returned to the guest room arranged for them. Li Zimeng was taking a bath. More and more questions flashed through his mind. Li Zimeng's head grew bigger as he thought about it. He supported his head with his hand.
"Miss, what's wrong? You seem to be acting very abnormally today. You've been in a daze a few times already?”Lian 'er said uneasily.
"Lian 'er, what do you think of His Highness the Crown Prince?”Li Zimeng asked.
"This! This is not something we servants should discuss.”Lian 'er still remembered the fact that she was a servant girl. She didn't dare to be careless now that she was in the Crown Prince's residence and not a small courtyard.
"There are only the two of us here. I've asked the others to leave. The gatekeeper can't hear us from outside. I want to hear what outsiders like you think.”Li Zimeng looked at Lian 'er with longing eyes, making Lian' er unable to retort.
"Then I'll say it, miss. Don't blame me for saying it badly.”Lian 'er was also serious.
"Tell me! What else was there to say? You know how I've always treated you!" Li Zimeng straightened his body.
"Actually, I can feel that His Highness has always been so good to you. He thinks for you in every way and respects you in every way. In your past words, he's handsome, rich, and treats you so well. He's really someone you can entrust to.”Lian 'er also said so. It seemed that he was really thinking too much.
"However, I personally feel that His Highness's love for you came so easily! So free! After seeing His Highness for a long time, although His Highness treats you very well, there is no love in his eyes. It's just simple kindness or some other reason. It's just cold and without love.”That's right! Now that he thought about it, his love had come a little easier. Why was he so good to the daughter of an enemy who was not favored? What charm did she have to make him treat her so well?
"Young Miss, His Highness is the Crown Prince. The person who sits on the throne in the future will have the entire world under His Highness 'control, let alone women. The number of concubines in the harem has never changed. If it's possible, I don't want you to go in here and become the only one in the three thousand miles.”Lian 'er was right. There were many things that he could not see clearly in this mountain.
That night, he lay on his bed and did not sleep for another night. His mind was filled with Lian 'er's sincere words. Everything that had happened to the Li family back then, Chu Mo's mesmerizing face and those " gentleness ". Chu Mo, are you treating me sincerely, or do I have any value?
"Your Highness, everyone is asleep." The rain came to report. Chu Mo stood in front of the window with his back against the rain. It was snowing heavily outside and many bamboos were bent.
"What did they say?" Xingyu told Chu Mo everything she had heard. Chu Mo did not say anything and his expression could not be seen.
"We've been discovered! If I had been a few days later, I might have discovered everything. Then, all my efforts would have been in vain.”Chu Mo laughed coldly.
"Your Highness ~" Xingyu called out to Chu Mo worriedly.
Chu Mo waved his hand, and Xingyu silently retreated. Only Chu Mo and the flickering candlelight were left in the room.
