Chu Li snatched the food box and said, "I will issue an order to summon you back to the capital. Now you should return to the Regent's Palace."
Chu Dichi looked at her calmly, narrowed his eyes, and had no intention of getting up.
"I've helped you review a lot of memorials. It's not very kind of you to cross the river and burn your bridges so quickly, is it?"
Chu Li pursed her lips:
"I'm busy."
"Am I hindering you?"
No problem.
However, she always felt uncomfortable when he was here.
"I, I need to rest."
"Did I take your bed away?"
Chu Li stared in astonishment, and the next second she saw him leaning over and pressing down on her. She fell into the chair, tilting her neck and staring at him:
“What are you doing!?”
His voice was high and loud.
Although he is not very old, he has a strong sense of bravado.
Chu Dichi didn't take her little appearance seriously. "You haven't had a good rest these past two days. Your eyes are blue. Drink the soup and go to sleep for a while."
Chu Li is alert:
"I'm not sleepy!"
"Soup?"
"I'm not thirsty!"
"Look at the folding paper?"
"I won't watch!"
"That……"
"I'm not going!"
Chu Dichi narrowed his eyes dangerously, stared at her rebellious face, picked her up by the waist and threw her onto the bed.
"Let me go! You—"
"You're making such a loud noise, are you trying to call someone over?"
Chu Dichi kicked off her shoes, lifted the quilt and wrapped her from head to toe.
sleep.
Her eyes were black.
There were so many things going on in the past two days, and the upheaval was so great that she hadn't slept for two days and one night. She was indeed very sleepy, but she was extremely alert.
Just lying there and doing nothing?
How is this not like his style?
Is he planning something bad?
Chu Li tensed up and was extremely alert. Thinking this in his heart, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to do something else?"
After asking, I almost bit off my tongue.
What is she talking about?
"It seems that you still have energy. I'll help you squeeze it out." Chu Dichi did what he said and his big hand went straight into the hem of his clothes.
"No……"
That's not what she meant!
"Uncle, I... I'm just concerned about you. Didn't you eat?"
Chu Dichi said sharply: "I didn't eat?"
good.
very good.
Next, he demonstrated to Chu Li through his own actions that he not only ate, but also ate very well, and felt full and full of energy.
Chu Li's waist was about to break. She cried and heard the man panting in her ear:
"How strong is this?"
"Have you eaten yet, my king?"
"..."
Eat it, eat it!
That's not what she meant!
After moving around for a while, all the remaining energy was drained away, and Chu Li fell into a sound sleep. His sleep was long and sound, and he didn't even dream.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.
When she woke up, she felt a little groggy. She had slept from yesterday evening to this morning, and her bones were almost falling apart.
She rubbed her eyes and got out of bed in a daze. She vaguely heard a conversation outside:
"A man should make great achievements... What do you think, General Qin..."
Outer room.
Chu Dichi was talking to Qin Muyu. When Chu Li came out, her clothes were disheveled and her hair was loose, and she caught Qin Muyu's eye.
His eyes were shocked, and then he felt pain. He looked at Chu Li and the Regent with complicated eyes.
Chu Li reacted and pulled the clothes tightly around her chest, "Mu Yu, why are you here?"
Qin Muyu swallowed the sourness in his throat and said:
"I'm here to ask for your permission. I'm willing to go to the battlefield in Southern Xinjiang and garrison there to help you."
He knelt down: "I hope the Ninth Prince will grant my permission!"
Chu Li's eyes were filled with pain.
Southern Xinjiang.
It was a remote, war-torn and turbulent place that had not been pacified for many years and many soldiers had lost their lives there.
"If you want to make achievements, I will assign you to another place. Southern Xinjiang is too chaotic."
"I have made up my mind. I hope the Ninth Prince will grant my approval!"
"Muyu!"
Qin Muyu had a resolute look on his face, having already made up his mind. He asked for permission and left Zhaolan Palace.
Chu Li chased to the door, with complicated thoughts in his mind, but he also understood that the friendship between them was still the same as before, but many things could never go back to the way they were before.
"Can't bear to leave?" Chu Dichi walked to her side.
Chu Li looked at:
"You did it?"
"I just gave him some pointers. He has a high level of understanding."
"Southern Xinjiang is very dangerous. It's dark and damp here. The southern barbarians are good at using witchcraft and insect poison. It has not been pacified in more than ten years. What on earth are you thinking of letting him go there?"
Chu Li glared at him angrily, but met the man's calm eyes:
"For so many years, I have lived in Southern Xinjiang."
"I can live well, but he can't. So you feel so sorry for him?"
Chu Li's breathing tightened, he pushed him away and ran out.
She didn't know how to face him, and she didn't know how to describe their relationship, but this state was not what she wanted.
She ran to Concubine Wen's palace.
At that time, Concubine Wen was busy and exhausted:
"Why is Tanuki here?"
Chu Li looked stunned, "Mother."
"Li'er," Concubine Wen stepped forward, held her hand, and said, "Concubine Jing asked to bring the Seventh Prince back, the Queen surrendered to me, the wives of the Hanlin Academy and the Minister of Rites, and several other noble ladies surrendered to me, hoping to marry their daughters of marriageable age to you, Concubine De and Concubine Xue..."
The previous dynasty was in chaos, and the harem was also in chaos.
Just listening to these things, Chu Li felt deeply exhausted.
There were almost no available people around her, and even Qin Muyu had been transferred away. How was she any different from being isolated and helpless? With Chu Dichi behind her, she had almost no way out.
"Mother."
Stop talking.
She sat down exhaustedly, "Mother, I am useless and have no talent for governing a country. If... one day, I hope you and the Wen family will fully support the regent."
Concubine Wen was shocked:
"Tori'er, you mean... you and the Regent..."
"I have nothing to do with him, but I don't have the talent to be an emperor. If something unexpected happens in the future, the Wen family only needs to fully support the regent. After the regent takes power, he will definitely not embarrass the Wen family."
Concubine Wen had a complicated expression.
Although Li Er said it was nothing, she went to Zhaolan Palace yesterday and saw the two of them...
She could vaguely guess something.
Things in the deep palace are complicated and intricate, and there is often no stability. You can only take one step at a time and see how it goes.
Where is the way forward?
She also felt very hopeless.
The most urgent thing is to save Li'er, and nothing else matters.
Chu Li was with Concubine Wen, and she had so many official duties that they were like mosquitoes biting her head; when she went to see Emperor Chu, she also had so many miscellaneous affairs that bit her head.
She has to take care of almost everything, big or small, everything has to go through her hands. No matter where she goes, she doesn't even have time to breathe.
I finally returned to Zhaolan Palace, thinking I could rest for a while, but I saw Chu Dichi there.
He was at the table, smiling and saying, "It's time to eat."
The two of them sat down and ate their meal in great harmony, but the fact that they did nothing made Chu Li feel very uncomfortable.
I feel tired.
She wants to escape.
