Chapter 327 Seeking a meeting
The tears silently slid down her cheeks and dripped onto her dress, making her look even more fragile and moving.
Seeing the crying woman in front of him, Su Yan's tone remained as calm and peaceful as before, "We agreed before that if our fate ends one day, we should each find a new direction in our lives and should not continue to entangle with each other."
Hearing such a cold and ruthless response, Liu Qingru suddenly felt as if her heart was being grabbed by someone, "Do you think it's my past that makes me lose the qualification to be your partner? From the day we first met until this moment, there is no one else in my heart except you..."
After hearing these words, Su Yan forced a helpless smile and replied, "In fact, I am also a filthy person. How can I be qualified to criticize and judge anyone else? This is just because I am tired of emotions deep in my heart."
After hearing such a cruel answer, Liu Qingru could no longer bear it. Her eyes were filled with disappointment and anger. She slapped Su Yan on the face and then turned around and ran out of the door, "Ungrateful person!"
Faced with the sudden slap and the sound of the door closing immediately afterwards, Su Yan remained standing without moving at all, silently enduring this beating from the depths of his soul.

As the spring breeze blows and all things on earth come back to life, the annual grand hunting event arrives again as scheduled.
The mighty imperial cavalry set out from the capital, heading towards the beautiful and picturesque place in the suburbs - Yanhui Mountain...
The car curtains were half-closed, and the sunlight filtered through the tiny gaps, casting mottled shadows in the car.
Cui Rong and Xian'er sat opposite each other in a gorgeously decorated and beautifully carved carriage. As the wheels rolled gently over the flat dirt road, making a rhythmic sound, the two looked out through a corner of the curtain at the huge convoy that was stretching out and moving forward in a mighty manner.
"It looks like this year's spring hunting will be even more spectacular than in previous years."
Looking at the seemingly endless flow of people in front of her, and the officials and nobles who were dressed in luxurious clothes and looked heroic riding on the backs of the sturdy and strong war horses, Xian'er couldn't help but express her sincere admiration.
"Yes," after hearing this, Cui Rong, who was always alert and good at observing the changes in the world, nodded in agreement and said, "Recently, people inside and outside the capital have been talking about the emperor's birthday coming soon. The dignitaries from all over the country want to return to the capital on this day to offer gifts to show their loyalty and participate in this grand hunting celebration, which makes the whole trip seem unusually grand and solemn."
When Cui Rong was casually looking out the window, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure driving in the distance - it was the carriage of Prince Xuan's palace, a branch of the royal family!
This discovery made her fall into silence instantly, with complex emotions flashing across her eyes. She then turned her attention back to the car, trying to hide her inner fluctuations while also being unable to conceal her curiosity.
Just at this moment, a luxurious horse team carrying the emblem of King Xuan's family happened to pass by them. The team was so large that it almost occupied half the width of the street.
The most eye-catching one is the special luxury car in the center decorated with a gold frame. Through the half-open window, one can vaguely see Chen Qinghan's gentle yet somewhat melancholy face sitting inside.
Faced with this situation, Cui Rong, who was always thoughtful and good at thinking about the logical connections behind problems, asked: "I remember that Prince Xuan was still imprisoned not long ago? Then why would their families be allowed to participate in such an important event?"
Although the tone was light, it revealed a strong sense of confusion.
Seeing this, Fu Xian, the chief imperial guard who had been following the carriage to protect the two, immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Miss, you are right. It is true that Prince Xuan is still under investigation by the relevant departments. But as far as I know, this matter can only be carried out with the personal instructions of the Queen Mother and the approval of the Emperor."
At this point, he added, "After all, female relatives like Chen Qinghan have little impact on the overall situation, so it doesn't really make much difference whether they attend or not."
However, despite this, Cui Rongrong, who is as perceptive as she is, still caught the subtlety of the matter: "Even if it is true as you said, why would the Empress take special care of this matter and even specially let Ms. Chen Qinghan accompany her on the trip?"
The words vaguely revealed interest and confusion about the deeper meaning behind it.
Just as the two were talking, a slight sound of horse hooves came from not far away, and then Song Yanyi was seen riding his horse to their side.
He reined in the reins and stopped his mount, then leaned over the window and said with concern, "It's about to start, please stay inside and don't move around easily. If you encounter any problems, just ask Fu Xian for help, okay?"
After saying this, his gaze fell gently on the beautiful woman who was sitting quietly opposite him with an expressionless face.
Feeling the care and concern from the other party, Cui Rongrong raised her lips slightly and smiled sweetly in response: "Don't worry, I'll follow your arrangements."
His tone was gentle and firm, revealing a hint of trust.
After hearing this, Song Yanyi confirmed again: "If you feel tired, lie down and rest for a while; and remember to send the little girl back to her carriage."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the person sitting on the other side pursed his lips and argued unwillingly: "I don't want to leave here!"
Seeing her friend like this, Cui Rong smiled helplessly and stretched out her slender fingers to gently stroke Xian'er's soft and smooth hair to comfort her: "Since you don't want to leave, then come with me, but don't forget that we have to follow the group and can't run around!"
Then she waved goodbye to the handsome young man outside.
After watching their loved one gradually disappear into the distance until completely out of sight, the carriage team began to set off in an orderly manner towards their destination.
We crossed the mountains and overcame many difficulties and obstacles along the way. It took us most of the day to finally reach the designated location, Yanhui Mountain, and set up a camp around it to rest and prepare for the next activity plan.
According to traditional customs and etiquette, extremely noble and inviolable people such as the emperor and his spouse must live in a temporary palace built specifically for the emperor to rest and enjoy, while other ministers at all levels, including royal relatives, must be placed in outer tents according to their respective status and positions to spend the night.
As night fell and the entire sky was shrouded in a layer of deep darkness, suddenly a high-end sedan with a unique color, a body painted with gray and green stripes and decorated with exquisite ornaments came into sight and headed straight for the core area.
Following closely behind him, a eunuch dressed in a hurry ran into the palace gate and walked towards the depths of the palace, and soon disappeared...
"Your Majesty, there is a distinguished guest outside the palace who wants to see you. Are you interested in meeting him?"
