Chapter 159 You Should Cheer Up (1)

"Xingye, I know what to do. You go back to the Yangxin Palace to protect the emperor first."

"But before I go to the Yangxin Palace, I must go to the Imperial Kitchen first. You mentioned that the Emperor has not eaten for several days, so I plan to go to the Imperial Kitchen to cook some porridge and prepare a few side dishes."

"If Her Majesty Queen needs anything, just tell Xingye."

"With Jiu'er here to accompany me, I have nothing to worry about. You can leave first."

"Xingye understands. I will take my leave for now." Lan Xi nodded slightly to Xingye.

With Jiu'er's help, Lan Xi carefully prepared several delicious and light side dishes. Considering that Xiao Chuhan might have stomach discomfort after drinking, Lan Xi specially cooked yam, vegetable and millet porridge. Lan Xi put the dishes and porridge into the basket.

"Jiu'er, there is nothing to do here, please return to the Jingxin Palace first."

"Okay, ma'am."

Lan Xi came to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. This was her first time setting foot here.

Xingye saw Lan Xi approaching and hurried forward to greet her.

"My lady, you are here."

"Well, His Majesty, is he still drinking?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"You stand guard at the door, and no one is allowed to enter."

"Xingye understands."

Lan Xi came to the door and gently pushed open the door of the Yangxin Palace. When the door opened, a strong smell of alcohol hit her face. The room was dark, with almost no light.

"Xingye, didn't I warn you not to let anyone in? You ignored my words!"

Lan Xi carefully closed the door, as if she was afraid that the slightest sound would alarm the people in the room. Lan Xi walked lightly to the table, placed the basket in her hand steadily on the table, and then turned and walked towards Xiao Chuhan.

Lan Xi stood in front of Xiao Chuhan, staring at the drunk and decadent man. She couldn't help feeling angry at him for not fighting back, but at the same time she could understand the pain and helplessness Xiao Chuhan was feeling deep in his heart.

"What? My words are useless now, right?"

Lan Xi squatted down, and with the help of the weak light, she saw Xiao Chuhan slowly raise his head and look at her with confused eyes. At that moment, Xiao Chuhan seemed to be unable to tell whether the person in front of him was Ye Lan Xi or Ye Wuyou.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, Xiao Chuhan broke the silence and said, "Why are you here? Didn't I say that no one is allowed to enter? How does Xingye do things?"

Lan Xi shook her head slightly and replied firmly: "I insisted on coming to see you. It has nothing to do with Xingye." Hearing Lan Xi's answer, Xiao Chuhan became more and more excited.

"Xiao Chuhan, you've been depressed for so many days. Haven't you figured it out yet?" Lan Xi's voice was filled with a hint of anxiety and concern.

"Tell me, how should I figure it out? How do you expect me to accept all this? You suddenly tell me that you are not Wuyou, and the real Wuyou is dead. How do you expect me to accept such a cruel fact?" Xiao Chuhan's voice echoed in the room like thunder, and he yelled hysterically at Lan Xi.

However, Lan Xi was not angry because of Xiao Chuhan's roar. On the contrary, she felt more heartbroken and disappointed. What made Lan Xi angry was that as the king of a country, he would be so depressed because of a woman, losing his former dignity and confidence. Lan Xi knew that love could make people blind and fragile, but as the king of a country, Xiao Chuhan shouldered the responsibility and mission of the entire country, and he could not be defeated by emotions.

"As the ruler of the great State of Chu, how can you be so absurd! You indulged yourself in wine all night just for a woman. Have you forgotten your responsibilities and mission?"

Xiao Chuhan stared at Lan Xi with his eyes wide open, stretched out his right hand, and tried to strangle Lan Xi's neck, but Lan Xi reacted very quickly, quickly grabbed Xiao Chuhan's wrist, and twisted it hard. Lan Xi was very strong, and her cold eyes stared straight at Xiao Chuhan.

"What? Do you still want to do something to me?"

Lan Xi sneered, "Maybe Wuyou would have accepted it submissively, but for me, Ye Lan Xi, this is absolutely impossible! You keep saying that you love Wuyou, but you hurt her body and soul time and time again. How can you have the face to say that you love her? Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to talk about love?"

After listening to Lan Xi's words, Xiao Chuhan's eyes gradually softened: "You are right, I really have no right to say that I love You'er. If I really loved her, how could I bear to let her be bruised and battered? How could I hurt her again and again? Now, I finally believe that you are not Wuyou. The real Wuyou would never resist me like you do. You'er would bury any grievances deep in her heart and endure them alone in silence..." When he said this, Xiao Chuhan's heart was full of self-blame.

If Xiao Chuhan didn't distrust Wuyou, the situation wouldn't have turned out like this. All of this was caused by Xiao Chuhan, but Wuyou was also at fault. The failure of a relationship always started with distrust.
