Agree to his request...

To be honest, this matter was completely beyond Chu Li's expectations. She had prepared herself to be alone for the rest of her life, not getting married or having children.

He seemed unable to have children.

Chu Li remained silent and lowered his eyes.

However, if she was with him, her identity would definitely bring him endless troubles. Those who were competing for the throne, his opponents, would use her identity as the "Ninth Prince" and a woman disguised as a man to hold him hostage.

Her existence is a nuisance.

"Uncle, I..."

She hesitated, "I..."

"No rush."

Chu Dichi's brows slightly relaxed, "I was too impatient, Xiaojiu, I was just afraid that you would leave again, I don't want to endure that feeling again."

"It's very uncomfortable."

"Whenever I see Concubine Wen crying and losing her appetite, I feel the same way as she does."

Chu Li's heart tightened: "What's wrong with my mother?"

"she……"

Chu Dichi opened his thin lips slightly, with a complicated expression:

"She has become much thinner. Since you left, she has been absent-minded and unable to sleep. She often sits there in a daze, doesn't like to go out, doesn't eat, and doesn't like to talk to people. She holds your childhood things and looks at them all day long."

Chu Li's eyes suddenly turned red.

This scene comes to mind...

Mother!

"I made a mistake!"

Chu Dichi's brows sank. "You have already decided to stay in Jiangnan. I shouldn't have mentioned the capital to you. Xiaojiu, don't worry. I will treat her as my own mother and take care of her the same way."

Chu Li felt like he was being pricked and tingled in his heart, and it was painful and numb, which was not a good feeling.

Her mother raised her when she was young, but she couldn't take care of her when she was old.

She is still alive, but her mother wants others to fulfill her filial duties. What is she then?

Ungrateful person?

When she thought of her mother's appearance, how could she live happily and peacefully in Jiangnan?

But if she wanted to return to the imperial capital, she could only agree to her uncle's request and stay with him, but she was worried that her presence would bring him trouble.

Chu Dichi looked at her wilted little face and rubbed her head distressedly:

"Okay, don't think too much, I'm here for you."

It was because of his presence that she thought more.

He didn't have to worry so much about her.

"It's getting late, go to bed early."

"Your arm is injured, which is very inconvenient. I will stay and take care of you."

"It's okay. I have Bai Jinyi here."

Chu Li looked at him with a complicated expression.

He has really changed.

He didn't even want to be in the same room with her.

If it were in the past, whether it was the Imperial Academy, the Zhaolan Palace, or the Coral Waterside Pavilion, or even on horseback in the suburbs, he would...

Now, he knows when to advance and when to retreat, has a strong sense of propriety, and has not overstepped his boundaries in the slightest.

Chu Li suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and walked out of the wing room. He saw the white-feathered parrot hanging on the branch, combing its feathers, pecking with its sharp beak, and occasionally uttering one or two words:

"Muyu-nii-nii!"

"quack--"

He wasn't even mad about that.

His temper has really improved.

If this is true, isn't it a blessing for two people to be able to be together, get along, accompany each other, face difficulties and hardships, and reunite with their relatives and friends?

Chu Li's heart gradually wavered...

That night, she tossed and turned, her mind in a mess.

The next room.

The man was lying on the couch, resting his head on one arm, with one leg lazily bent. His slender fingertips held a round and delicate pearl earring, and his dark eyes were full of depth:

"Chu Li."

"Little raccoon cat..."

The next day.

Xiao Yexing came to find Chu Dichi early in the morning and wanted to go with him to the Jiangnan prefectural government to investigate the case.

When I pushed the door open, I saw Chu Li was already there.

Chu Li said, "He is injured and in poor health. I'll have to trouble Governor Xiao to take care of all the affairs in Jiangnan."

Chu Dichi lifted the thin blanket and pretended to stand up:

"Jiangnan has a lot of complicated affairs. Xiao Yexing may not be able to handle it alone. I will go with him."

"You're not going!"

Chu Li held his shoulder and said, "Let's talk about it after your injury heals. If Commander Xiao can't help alone, Mu Yu and the others can help."

Xiao Yexing stood at the door and glanced at Chu Dichi, who was "weak and unable to take care of himself". His eyes had already seen through everything.

Tsk.

Boring.

He walked out with a wave of his sleeves, "Chong Feng."

Outside the courtyard gate, Chongfeng strode over.

He pulled out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve, "This is the place your master wants, and there is also the key."

"Thank you, Commander Xiao!"

In the house.

Chu Li took care of Chu Dichi personally, telling him to cook light porridge on the third day of the New Year, to boil medicine on the fourth day, and...

Do everything yourself.

I was afraid that he would get hurt or bored, so I found him a book to read.

So, Chu Dichi sat back on the couch, watching the petite figure swaying under his eyes, sometimes coming over, sometimes going away, seemingly very busy, but not accomplishing anything.

But being able to be with her, sharing this brief moment of peace and tranquility, makes my heart feel extremely peaceful.

only……

Why haven't you taken her down yet?

He has been here for two or three days now, and has always been gentle, measured, and gradual. Could it be that she has not yet wavered?

She didn't nod in agreement, so he didn't dare to do anything, for fear of scaring her and ruining all his efforts.

Watching her every day, wearing a small skirt, twisting her slender waist, calling her "Uncle" every day, but not being able to touch her at all... It's too unbearable!
