Qin Muyu realized that something was wrong:
"What's wrong? Ah..." Tanuki.
Chu Li covered his mouth.
Don't shout!
Her face was as pale as paper, and she could hardly find her voice: "This person is... is... the secret guard beside the Regent..."
She had met him before.
It’s over!
Today, she was beaten up by the Regent King, and she beat up his secret guards. When she lifted up his clothes, she saw that they were all bruised and swollen, with two streams of blood flowing from their noses...
Qin Muyu's expression changed slightly:
"Why would the Regent's secret guards appear in Wenchuan Mountain?"
Chu Li originally suspected that the kidnapping of the eldest prince's wife by bandits was related to the regent, but now it seems that he really did it!
But she knew this and did not dare to confront him head-on.
You never know if he will bite you back.
Chu Li's eyes turned, and he raised his voice in a deliberately rough voice:
"Fourth Prince, are we going to arrest this man?"
Qin Muyu: "..."
Ahri has always disliked the Fourth Prince, and he would never dare to take the blame for him at this time. However, for Ahri, he was willing to risk the death penalty for treason.
He curled his hands and said in a deep voice:
"No need. Arresting him might alert the enemy and ruin our business."
"If the Fourth Prince has mercy on you, I will spare your life. Humph! This is your blessing!"
Chu Li said this loudly and hit the secret guard on the head with a stick.
The secret guard groaned, tilted his head and passed out.
The two of them hurried up the mountain.
According to the plan, although they had to deal with the bandits twice and experienced many dangers, they finally succeeded in rescuing the eldest prince and his wife and escorted them back to the capital.
When the King of Chu learned about this, he was very pleased.
Qin Muyu and Chu Li were immediately summoned to the palace, and Qin Muyu was rewarded and promoted one grade to the fifth grade cavalry commander.
Chu Li originally wanted to hide her credit so as not to make it public, but in order to be able to divide the affairs of the mansion, she stood up for the first time and took the credit.
"Xiaojiu is very thoughtful. I didn't expect that my playfulness in the past would actually help so much."
The King of Chu praised:
"I wonder what reward Xiaojiu wants?"
Chu Li knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly, "Father, I want to move out of the palace and live alone like my brothers."
The King of Chu frowned slightly:
"Why? Living with my father and mother is a burden to you?"
"No, I saw that my brothers all had their own houses, and I was very envious, so I also wanted to live alone."
"You're still young."
When she turns eighteen, he will arrange a mansion for her.
"My son is now independent!"
Today's rescue of the eldest prince and his wife was proof of this to herself.
"no."
The King of Chu waved his hand, "You are simple-minded, playful, food-loving and active. If you leave the palace and live alone, and make some bad friends, and deceive my prince away, what should I do?"
Chu Li wanted to say something else, but the King of Chu had already decided:
"Eunuch Fu, give a small gold bar to the Ninth Prince as a reward."
-
Regent's Palace.
Jingying covered his dark panda eyes, knelt on one knee on the ground with a bruised face. He was beaten so badly that even his mother couldn't recognize him.
Chong Feng wanted to laugh, but held it back.
"master……"
Jingying was full of grievances:
"I followed your orders to secretly rescue the eldest prince and his wife, but was beaten by the ninth prince and General Qin. They also pretended to be the fourth prince and his guards in an attempt to deceive me..."
But how could he not recognize the voice of the Ninth Prince?
He is not a fool.
In the armchair, the man casually crossed his fingers and smiled sternly:
"very good."
Chu Li insisted that it was he who bribed the bandits and kidnapped the eldest prince and his wife.
It was he who did it, and he dared to admit it even if it was treason and regicide.
However, since he had never done it, he naturally would not take the blame.
People were sent to rescue him, but they were beaten by Chu Li.
A few men were sent to him, but they claimed that they had fallen off their horses and their injuries had not healed, and they did a perfunctory job. As a result, they turned around and went to Wenchuan Mountain to fight against the bandits.
Chu Li.
Very good!
-
Chu Li walked out of the imperial study with the small gold bar in his hand, his head hung, looking somewhat depressed.
It will take another two and a half years before you can own your own mansion.
Everyone envies the royal family and their wealth, but few people know that even if you are a prince, you will have many troubles.
"Ninth Prince."
On the Gongdao Street, a secret guard spoke:
"The Regent is staying at Linhua Palace today. Please come over."
Chu Li looked up and saw a bruised face. His heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the man who was beaten up at Wenchuan Mountain this evening?
You can figure out what's going on just by using your toes.
"I haven't had dinner yet, why don't I..."
"Linhua Palace has prepared the meal."
"I just got back from the palace. I'm covered in sweat and smell sour. How about..."
"There is a bath in Linhua Palace."
"The wound on my hand needs a new dressing."
"That's easier to do. We just need to summon the imperial physician to Linhua Palace."
"..."
Jingying looked at Chu Li with a forced smile. He was beaten up for no reason and his injuries were still aching. He couldn't wait to see his master deal with the Ninth Prince.
"Ninth Prince, please!"
Chu Li pursed his lips, his expression solemn, ready to die.
This feeling was like, knowing that there was a place of execution ahead, but still having to walk towards it step by step. It was as cruel as holding a knife and cutting her flesh.
She took a deep breath and quickly whispered to Gou Ba:
"Go and inform my mother, and ask her to come to Linhua Palace to rescue me."
"Human life is at stake. No mistakes can be made."
Gou Ba responded and hurried to the harem to deliver the message.
Chu Li straightened his chest and had to bite the bullet and go to Linhua Palace.
She took three difficult steps forward, hoping that Concubine Wen would call her away when she was halfway there.
Jingying gloated: "Go faster."
"..."
Linhua Palace used to be the residence of the Regent in the palace. Later, when the Regent's Palace was separated, he moved out of the palace. However, Linhua Palace is still taken care of by palace servants every day. It is filled with incense and kept clean, so clean that not even a trace of dust remains.
Enter the palace gate.
She took another deep breath, prepared herself mentally, and then entered with a smile on her face:
"Uncle, you're looking for me?"
Baba trotted over, being very well behaved.
Inside the room, the air was filled with calming sandalwood incense. A man sat cross-legged on a low table made of century-old sandalwood with patterns carved on it. He was wearing an elegant purple robe embroidered with a pattern of a kirin stepping on the night, which made him look more reserved and noble. His black hair hung to his waist, and his jade crown was half-tied up. His lazy brows made him look like a king who ruled the country.
The narrow Ruifeng eyes swept across her face.
"Is your hand okay?"
"No, the imperial physician said that it will take half a month to recover."
"But I see that you are very good at shooting shocking shadows with your slingshot."
Chu Li's expression froze immediately, knowing that he couldn't hide it. "At that time, I thought they were bandits, so in a hurry I just... just..."
She didn't mean it.
"Is that so?"
Chu Di Chibo smiled coldly: "In this case, the Ninth Prince might as well copy a volume of the Ksitigarbha Sutra for me and burn it for Empress Dowager Zhaoren to show my filial piety."
The eunuch held the writing brush and ink and placed them on the low table with his head lowered.
Jingying was holding the "Dipankara Sutra".
Chu Li was stunned.
This scripture is as thick as a palm!
