Imperial Uncle, Please Spare Me, The Ninth Prince is a Girl

Chu Li was an adopted abandoned infant, raised as the Ninth Prince—a girl disguised as a boy—by Consort Wen to gain favor. However, she was determined to live a 'salted fish' life, just eat...

Chu Li's breathing tightened, "Wh, what secret letter?"

Chu Yeli lowered his gaze, "I saw it."

At the negotiation table, Chu Dichi held her hand and hid a secret paper in her palm.

He knew that Chu Dichi had guarded Southern Xinjiang for eight years, so how could he easily agree to cede the Southern Xinjiang territory?

It was indeed a trap.

The so-called fifteen-day appointment was just an excuse for him to delay time and set a trap.

Chu Li clenched his palms, sweating slightly.

"No... secret letter..."

"Xiaojiu, you don't look good when you lie." He sighed softly and stretched out his hand towards her wrist, but she dodged it vigilantly.

She's on guard against him!

The tense posture seemed as if they were standing on opposite sides.

He doesn't like this feeling.

They are obviously together.

"show me."

"don't want!"

"Xiaojiu, I'll just take a look."

Chu Li was leaning on a crutch and turned to leave, but she was limping so much that Chu Yeli reached out and grabbed her, then held her and sat her on his lap.

"Show me, he wants to save you and I want to be with you too."

Chu Li clenched his fists.

This secret letter is of vital importance to her. It must contain information on how to rescue her. If Chu Yeli sees it and sees through Chu Dichi’s plan, how can she and Qin Muyu escape?

But, looking at the man's gentle yet narrow gaze.

She was too familiar with this kind of gaze.

There is no room for refusal.

When Chu Yeli stretched out his hand and tried to take it away by force, Chu Li immediately grabbed the note and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Xiao Jiu!"

I would rather eat it than show it to him!

Chu Yeli's expression changed slightly, "Spit it out!"

Yellow paper is rough and cannot be eaten.

If you force yourself to swallow it, you will definitely upset your stomach.

He pinched her jaw, twisted her mouth open, and regardless of her struggles, he forcibly pulled out the sealed paper.

"cough!"

Chu Li's eyes were wet with pain, "Ahem... give it to me... give it back to me..."

"It's just a piece of secret paper. Are you so impatient to leave me?" Chu Yeli suppressed his anger, grabbed the secret paper soaked with saliva, and threw it away.

There were only six words written in wild cursive script:

——I hope your heart is like mine.

How could this be a conspired escape plan?

It is a love letter written by Chu Dichi to Chu Li.

In just six words, the love between a man and a woman is fully expressed. Even though they are separated by two places, they still care about each other day and night.

And Chu Li desperately protected the love letter, which clearly showed that she was deeply in love with Chu Dichi.

It instantly stung Chu Yeli's eyes.

"Give it back to me!"

Chu Li stretched out his hand to grab it, but Chu Yeli clenched his five fingers, crumpled the paper into pieces and threw it on the ground.

Chu Li rushed over to pick it up.

"Churi!"

Chu Yeli grabbed her and pressed her on the bed.

"You and Chu Dichi are uncle and nephew, how can you have an improper relationship? Such worldly corruption and violation of moral principles, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world?"

Chu Li was shocked.

He knew...

Doesn't she feel embarrassed?

She and Chu Dichi... were not at all what he thought.

"You are by my side, but you are thinking about something else. Can't you just look at me?" Chu Yeli pressed down on him.

The string in Chu Li's mind suddenly tightened:

"Fifth brother!"

What is he going to do?

"Let me go! Um... Fifth brother... My feet hurt, my feet hurt!" Chu Li struggled desperately, not knowing whether to cover his chest, tighten his belt, or hold his feet.

She is so scared!

Why!

Why did he, like Chu Dichi, touch her inappropriately?

Maybe this is fun for them, but Chu Li really hates it. She doesn’t want to be an excuse for their quarrel at all!

With a cry of "foot pain", Chu Yeli pulled back from the brink of death.

After regaining his senses, he looked at her red eyes, her lower lip bitten and trembling, her eyes filled with unknown fear, and his heart was crushed.

What is he doing?

He is not that kind of person.

"Xiaojiu, I..." He wanted to reach out his hand, but she dodged him.

Chu Yeli's eyes suddenly darkened.

He was a little out of control.

Seeing how she and the Regent cherished each other, he lost his mind. If there was a first come first served order in love, he and Chu Dichi were obviously the same.

He pulled away, his back looking somewhat embarrassed as he fled.

Chu Li hugged her clothes tightly and stared outside. After making sure that he had gone far away, she carefully got out of bed.

Unfortunately, the secret paper had already been torn into pieces, and no matter how hard I tried to piece it together, I couldn't make out the original handwriting.

-

Outside.

Chu Yeli ran out, got some fresh air, and his mind became much clearer. He couldn't help but wonder when Chu Li developed feelings for Chu Dichi?

For nearly eight years, Chu Dichi has been stationed in southern Xinjiang and seldom returns to the capital. Even when he returns to report on his work, his stay does not exceed half a month.

How could Chu Li like him?

It would be more believable if Chu Li said she liked Qin Muyu.

Soon, he realized that Chu Dichi must have done it on purpose.

Deliberately deceived him!

Today, he deliberately showed the bite marks on his neck. Chu Dichi saw it and held a grudge against him, so he provoked him in this way.

It caused him to lose control, angered Chu Li, and successfully alienated the relationship between him and Chu Li.

These two days, Chu Li was angry about Qin Muyu being captured. He had finally managed to coax him into submission, but now, Chu Li was afraid that she would hate him to death again.

Chu Di is late!

good.

very good!

None of these people with the surname Chu have good intentions!

Except Chu Li.

Chu Yeli pulled his collar anxiously and saw a secret guard entering the commander's tent. He followed him in.

"General."

The secret guard knelt on one knee on the ground.

"I will write a secret letter now. You take it back to the capital immediately and present it to the king." Wei Pangzhong picked up the pen and saw Chu Yeli coming in. He couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Your Highness Dong Ling!"

Hahaha!

His Highness Dong Ling cooperated with them with full sincerity and actually captured the Emperor of Chu.

Chu Yeli walked over:

"What letter is General Wei going to write?"

"Of course, we should report the news that the Emperor of Chu is in our hands to His Majesty." Wei Pangzhong said, "With the Emperor of Chu, we can not only invade the southern border, but also march all the way north and annex the Great Chu in no time!"

The tone is extremely arrogant.

Chu Yeli said calmly: "In this case, we have to detain Emperor Chu?"

"Isn't it for this purpose that Your Highness Dong Ling brought the Emperor of Chu here?"

"What I mean is that the royal family of Great Chu has many descendants. The Emperor of Chu is the ninth child, and he has eight older brothers. Her value of use is not that great."

Once it exceeds a certain point, Da Chu would rather give up Chu Li and embrace a new emperor.

Wei Pangzhong narrowed his eyes and calculated:

"So what if Da Chu has many descendants? The most important thing for the royal family is face. If Da Chu refuses to rescue the new emperor, I will cut off his fingers, dig out his flesh, and send it to Da Chu bit by bit."

The great Chu State could not even save its own emperor and could only be slaughtered by others.

Such a great shame and humiliation is enough to bring shame to the entire Chu country.

Hahaha!

He wanted to see how much concession the Great Chu could make in order to rescue the Emperor of Chu.

He wants to squeeze every bit of value out of the Emperor of Chu!

Wei Pangzhong laughed loudly, already imagining the scene of himself conquering cities, expanding the territory, making great contributions, and being rewarded by the king as the great general guarding the country!

He picked up his pen and wrote a letter.

Chu Yeli watched his movements with dark eyes, and slowly walked to the table: "Who else knows her identity?"

Wei Pangzhong said:

"This is a serious matter, so I have not made it public yet. Except for the three soldiers who served on the side during today's negotiation and this secret guard, no one knows the true identity of Master Chu for now."

"Oh, that's good."

Chu Yeli nodded.

Wei Pangzhong lowered his head to write a letter when suddenly the flickering candlelight reflected the cold light of a knife and his neck was cut off.

Phew!

“Hmm!”

He stared at the person who did it with his eyes wide open in disbelief, "You... uh... uh..."

The secret guard saw that the situation was not right and stood up to call for help.

He had just taken two steps when a dagger pierced his back.

“Hmm!”

Chu Yeli wiped the blood off his fingers, his eyes cold and cold: "If you want to touch me, treat me as dead."
