"It was the first time I cried in front of so many people."
Chu Li's eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but think back to the night of the battle in Southern Xinjiang, when he had hugged her and cried anxiously...
"Xiao Jiu, I really care about you. Your every move affects my emotions and is enough to drive me crazy and out of control. But I really care about you too much."
Chu Dichi stared at her:
"In my situation, any weakness I have could put my life in danger. I shouldn't have any weaknesses. My consciousness is rational, but in reality, I can't control it at all."
"Xiao Jiu, will you become the sharp blade that stabs me?"
Chu Li pursed her lips.
From his perspective, he had his own reasons, but so did she.
"Back then, war broke out in Southern Xinjiang. What happened afterwards was completely out of my control. I came to Jiangnan to live a peaceful life, but you bullied me as soon as you arrived..."
"That's not bullying, it's just that I missed you too much."
Chu Li stared at him, "But you said...said... yesterday in bed..."
Chu Dichi remained calm and said, "You're talking dirty."
"Xiao Jiu, every man will say dirty words in bed. This is a common trait among men. It can be considered a way to increase output."
Chu Li's cheeks flushed red, and it was unclear whether she was angry or upset:
"What nonsense!"
"I'm a man, how could I lie to you?"
Chu Dichi said sternly, "A man will only love you fiercely if he likes you. Otherwise, there are so many women in the world, and there are countless women prettier than you. How can I not like any of them and only want you?"
"Besides, there are many benefits for you to be with me."
Chu Li didn't believe it.
She was holding her anger in her heart, and she suffered a loss.
"Don't keep on making excuses. Don't I know what kind of temper you have? How are you going to deceive me with sweet words? I won't believe you anymore."
Chu Dichi was not in a hurry and said slowly:
"You are not a child anymore. You have your own judgment. Who can deceive you? Everything I say to you is the truth."
He went through them one by one:
"Look, you want to live a peaceful life in Jiangnan, but will the eldest prince and the governor of Jiangnan let you live a peaceful life?"
"Xiao Jiu, you grew up in the palace, how can you still be so naive? In today's world, the more power you have, the more choices you can have. I can protect you and give you the life you want."
Chu Li's face gradually turned cold: "Don't even think about tempting me!"
She has a firm faith in the Tao.
This time, there is no doubt.
"With me here, you can go back to the imperial capital and visit your mother and Prince Xian as before. Moreover, my money is your money. I have saved a lot of small gold bars in my treasury, so many that you will never be able to spend them all in your lifetime."
Chu Li frowned and asked:
"You are a military commander, receiving a salary from the court. How could you possibly have so much gold? Did you take bribes?"
Chu Dichi wanted to hit her.
What is the focus?
"Some of it was bribes. I used the bribes to expand my business, and I earned money by making money."
"..."
That's bribery.
Corrupt official!
How could he admit it so confidently?
"I have the final say in the Great Chu now. Xiaojiu, I can promote your mother's position on the grounds of your service to the Emperor of Chu. Think about it, your mother has been fighting with Concubine Xin for half her life, and in the end you fought hard and earned her a position. She will be proud of it, won't she be very happy?"
Chu Li pursed her lips, and another picture gradually emerged in her mind:
Mother Concubine was one rank higher than Concubine Xin, and she was very happy. Concubine Xin, who was always arrogant and domineering, bowed and cried. Even though she was extremely dissatisfied, she could only endure it...
"Prince Xian is very sensible now, and much more mature than before. He can be a great help to you."
Chu Dichi held the person on his lap and adjusted her skirt bit by bit.
"Don't you care about General Qin the most?"
"Back then, because of his feud with the Fang Jun Mansion, General Qin was punished by the King of Chu and was not allowed to be promoted for three years. This was equivalent to wasting his best years."
"Well, after I return, I will cancel this decree. As long as General Qin makes achievements on the battlefield, I will reward not only him, but also the entire General's Mansion."
The man's voice was soft, like the gurgling of a spring, flowing slowly and silently.
He was willing to do everything for her.
Her family, her friends, everyone.
Love the house and love the dog.
As long as she doesn't leave him again.
Chu Li pursed her lips. His words were certainly very tempting, but her firm heart pointed out the way for her, and she immediately found the problem:
"You have a good plan!"
"Sacrifice me for the benefit of everyone!"
Chu Dichi's expression straightened up: "How can this be called sacrifice? Sacrifice is done unwillingly and with a ruined future. But you have not lost anything by being with me. On the contrary, you have gained more. They will only praise you for being awesome."
"I'm praising your ability. The regent king who can't be dealt with by the whole Great Chu is just a good little dog in your hands."
