The heavy rain continued until the evening, and when the rain subsided, it was dark.
At the foot of the mountain.
Chu Li waited for most of the day but did not see the Regent come down the mountain. It was too late for him to return to the palace, so he had to find a small inn to stay in first.
The next day, the weather cleared up.
Just as I was having breakfast, I saw two horses galloping down the mountain.
"Uncle!"
"here!"
Chu Dichi held the reins and pulled the horse slightly. He saw Chu Li leaning against the window of the restaurant, half of his body leaning out, holding a chicken leg in his hand and waving it at him.
That casual and cheerful look makes it hard to doubt him.
He rode over:
"Where did you go yesterday?"
Chu Li said, "It rained too hard yesterday, and the eldest princess was in a hurry to return home, so I took her down the mountain from the small path."
It happened so urgent that I didn't have time to say a word to him.
Chu Dichi looked at her, his cold eyes seemed to be wrapped in sharpness, "You left the Second Prince's wife alone on the mountain?"
Chu Li immediately said:
"When we were going down the mountain yesterday, we didn't know where she ran off to. We couldn't find her, so we had to go down the mountain first."
Chu Di Chi Lin laughed.
Chu Li's heart sank. She felt that his gaze was sharp, but she couldn't see what was hidden in it.
Could it be that she did something wrong?
Or did something happen?
She doesn't know.
Why is the emperor's uncle looking at her like this?
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
On horseback, Chong Feng lowered his head slightly.
If those two men had not accidentally entered the master's meditation room yesterday, the master would not have escaped blame if they had violated the eldest prince's wife or the second prince's wife.
The strange thing is that the Ninth Prince went down the mountain in the heavy rain.
No matter how big the incident was in Tianling Temple, he could always clear himself of all responsibility.
How can it not arouse suspicion?
Chu Dichi put away the cold light in his eyes and said, "You are missing. I am worried about you."
"The Queen Mother's Buddhist beads have been retrieved."
He gave the small brocade box to Chu Li.
Chu Li held the chicken leg in his mouth, wiped the oil stains off his hands, carefully put the small brocade box into his arms, and kept it carefully.
"Would you like to have breakfast together?"
"We have to hurry back to the palace, so I won't eat."
Chu Dichi turned over and dismounted, "Yesterday, you left suddenly and your horse was not led down the mountain. You can ride my horse back."
"What about you?"
"I ride on Chongfeng."
Chu Lili hurriedly finished his breakfast and didn't dare to keep him waiting any longer. He wiped his mouth and held on to the saddle, but couldn't climb up.
The Regent's warhorse was taller than other horses. Its sturdy hooves alone were thicker than Chu Li's arms, and its shiny fur was blood red. It was a red-blooded horse that was one in a million and could travel a thousand miles a day.
"Chongfeng, can you give me a hand?"
"..."
Chongfeng stretched out his hand.
"Thank you."
Chu Di stood aside and said in a calm voice: "My horse is not easy to control, Xiaojiu should be careful."
"It's okay. I can ride. I rode a warhorse here yesterday as well."
"Is that so?"
Chu Li squeezed the horse's belly and patted its butt. The warhorse immediately raised its hooves high, almost throwing Chu Li off, and then galloped out like an arrow.
She crouched down and quickly steadied herself. The wind in her face made it almost impossible for her to open her eyes.
What a fast speed!
Too fast!
She held the reins tightly, trying to slow down, but the horse ran faster and faster, almost throwing her off.
This horse...
Seems out of control!
Original place.
Chong Feng said, "The master suspects the Ninth Prince, but judging from his appearance, he seems to be unaware of the situation."
Chu Dichi looked at the figure running away, his eyes as cold as ice, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
Chong Feng lowered his head slightly and said no more.
Jiang Ye is the master's war horse. He has been with his master through life and death, sweeping across the battlefield. He is a very brave and extremely arrogant horse.
No one can control it except the master.
I'm afraid the Ninth Prince is going to suffer.
On horseback.
Chu Li was dizzy and his hands were numb. He almost lost his grip on it several times and could not control it no matter how hard he tried.
The sound of wind suddenly rose in his ears, and Jiang Ye galloped very fast. With one leap of his long hooves, he crossed the five-meter-wide stream. Chu Li finally fell off the horse due to the violent ups and downs!
Roll down several times.
The horse was tall and wild, its hooves raised high and it stomped towards Chu Li fiercely...
-
pain.
it hurts.
This was the only thing Chu Li could feel when he regained consciousness. At the same time, he heard many tiny voices:
"Why did you fall off the horse for no reason?"
"Physician, please take a look..."
"Tanuki-chan..."
"Ninth brother..."
When Chu Li was able to open his eyes, only Concubine Wen and two palace maids were left in the room.
"Is Tanuki awake?"
Concubine Wen looked delighted.
Chu Li only felt a burning pain all over his body, as if it was covered with chili oil, and it hurt a lot when he moved the slightest.
"Don't move."
"Your right hand fell and it's swollen and bruised."
Concubine Wen sighed, "Luckily you had the Buddhist beads with you, and thanks to the Buddha's blessing, you were lucky enough to save your life. Look at you, why did you insist on showing off your abilities by riding the Regent's horse?"
Chu Li felt a slight dryness in his nose, and inexplicably felt a sense of grievance.
How could she be riding the Regent's horse?
It was obvious that he let her ride it.
Before getting on the horse, he mentioned that the horse was difficult to control, and she just said it was okay. Now that something happened, he was not responsible at all, it was all her own fault.
He wanted her life.
But she didn't know how she had offended him.
"Mother..."
"You are a man, don't cry. The Queen Mother asked the Regent to go to Tianling Temple to get the Buddhist beads, and you took the initiative to follow her. Even if your father wanted to punish the Regent, he couldn't find a reason."
What? !
The Queen Mother never asked her to go to Tianling Temple?
Chu Li almost bled.
He lied to her!
Trick her out and kill her!
This person has such a vicious heart!
"Okay, you should rest well during this period of time, and don't leave Zhaolan Palace unless necessary." Concubine Wen fed the medicine personally.
At this time, the palace maid came to report that the emperor had arrived.
The Ninth Prince fell off his horse. The Emperor was worried that Concubine Wen was too worried, so he came to accompany her. Concubine Wen immediately left Chu Li behind and ordered the palace maids to put on a pear blossom makeup with rain on her face and go to serve the Emperor.
Before leaving, I tried hard to squeeze out two tears:
"Your Majesty, our raccoon is so pitiful~~~"
Life is not easy, Chu Li sighed.
Gou Ba accompanied him, "Master, please don't be so sad. As the old saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future."
If you survive a great disaster, you will fear that a greater disaster is yet to come.
Chu Li moved his body and supported his injured right arm, only then he discovered that the furnishings in the room were a little different.
"Isn't this my bedroom?"
Gou Ba said, "This is the side hall of Zhaolan Palace. My lord, it rained heavily for a whole day and night yesterday. Your bedroom leaked. I didn't check it for a while, and only found out this morning that the bedroom was soaked."
Bedding, clothes, and cabinets were all moved outside to dry in the sun.
The master can only stay in the side hall temporarily.
It never rains but it pours.
Chu Li sighed softly: "That's all."
Just then, a young eunuch came to report:
"My Lord, the Regent is here to visit you."
Chu Li's back was straight.
She was already bedridden and seriously injured, but he still didn't let her go? He attacked her in the face?
Don't take it too far.
She clutched the quilt and said, "Just say I'm unconscious and can't meet you. Wait until I wake up."
"I am not deaf."
Outside the door, the dark-black figure suddenly appeared. Its tall and broad body blocked the light, making the room a little darker. The oppressive feeling it brought made people's scalp tighten.
