It was not until evening that everything was tidied up. Everyone was tired after a long day and there was no time to make dinner, so Chu Li took the six maids out to eat.
When they first arrived in the imperial capital, the six of them looked at the bustling streets with admiration:
"This is the Imperial City!"
"It's so big!"
"I never dared to dream that I would be able to come to the imperial capital in this lifetime..."
After many days, Chu Li returned to the imperial capital in high spirits. He went into a restaurant, ordered a table of delicious food, and told them about the past of the capital.
Several people were surprised, asked questions, were curious, and laughed non-stop.
Only Chuyi sat there with a serious face, looking particularly solemn.
"The first day of the new year."
"Miss?"
"Don't be so stern, smile more, why aren't you lively at all?"
Chuyi pursed her lips and said, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but when we entered the restaurant, it seemed like someone was staring at us. I was worried that someone might be plotting something bad, so I didn't dare to let my guard down."
Chu Li raised an eyebrow.
She is really thoughtful and cautious.
"Don't worry, he's my acquaintance."
She was lucky enough to be able to buy a capable maid like Chuyi from the human trafficker.
Chu Li picked up the chopsticks and said, "Come, eat and have a good rest for the night. From now on, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a few days of peace and tranquility."
"As long as I can serve the young lady well, I am not afraid of other servants."
The meal was a great pleasure.
After dinner, Chu Li went to the shop to buy some things. After walking around for a long time, he heard a lot of discussions about Mo Huaizhou:
The former prince.
Restore the country.
Proclaim himself king.
Thinking of Chu Yeli, thinking of the past, the battlefield filled with smoke, the piles of corpses flowing like rivers of blood, and the arrow that pierced the sky in the night...
Chu Yeli and Chu Dichi stand on opposite sides, and sooner or later there will be a battle to the death, and her mind is indescribably complicated.
-
When the lights were dim and the night was quiet, a dark-colored piece of clothing passed through the swaying candlelight and walked into the Coral Water Pavilion with ease.
Go straight into Lantingxuan.
The slightly warm candlelight in the room reflected into his eyes, softening it a little, and he knocked on the door.
Knock knock——
He was about to lower his voice and say that he was a servant who came to deliver midnight snacks, but there was no response from the room.
Knock knock!
Fell asleep?
After waiting for a while, the man frowned slightly and pushed the door open directly, but saw that the room was empty and there was no sign of Chu Li at all.
Where are the people!
It’s so late, and she hasn’t come back yet?
Chu Dichi's expression changed visibly. He was ready to call the maid to question her, but if he did, wouldn't it expose his whereabouts? It would go against what he said during the day, "Don't worry, I won't step into the Coral Waterside Pavilion."
He could let Chu Li hit him in the face, but not the maid.
Maybe it was because he had just returned to the capital and was so happy that he forgot about playing.
He waits.
Chu Dichi walked to the table, picked up a book and started reading.
The candlelight is peaceful and time passes quietly and silently.
Half an hour.
One hour.
Three o'clock in the morning...
He really couldn't sit still anymore, the book in his hand was almost twisted into waste paper, and his face was very gloomy.
A little girl who doesn't go home in the middle of the night, and she is a pretty girl, doesn't she know how sinister the world and human hearts are today?
This imperial capital may seem prosperous, but in reality it is full of undercurrents.
Coral Waterside Pavilion is the safest place in the imperial capital!
Five o'clock in the morning...
The sky gradually brightens...
good!
Stay out all night!
-
It was not until noon that Chu Li returned to the Coral Water Pavilion. Just as she arrived, Chu Dichi rushed over in a hurry.
However, when he was about to enter Lan Tingxuan, he slowed down his pace, put his right hand behind his back, and walked slowly with a gentle posture.
In Lantingxuan, a man who had not returned home overnight was sitting under a tree playing with a parrot.
"idiot."
"Learn, idiot!" Chu Li was teaching the white-feathered parrot new words while holding a fat cauliflower worm with tweezers.
tread!
There was the sound of heavy footsteps.
Chu Li turned back subconsciously, "Uncle, how come you have time to come here?"
"I just got off court and finished my palace affairs. I came to see if you are still used to living here." Chu Dichi walked over calmly.
"Coral Waterside Pavilion is the residence of the Emperor's uncle. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most luxurious residence in the imperial capital. It is even better than the palace in the imperial palace. It is all thanks to the Emperor's uncle."
Chu Dichi looked at her with dark eyes:
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"Good, very comfortable." She smiled with her white teeth and bright eyes. It was not difficult to tell that she slept well last night.
"Especially since the Imperial Uncle promised in person that he would not step into the Coral Waterside Pavilion without permission, I slept so soundly because I know that the Imperial Uncle is a man who keeps his word and honors his promises!"
"..."
Before he could even open his mouth, she interrupted him.
If he asked her about her whereabouts last night, wouldn't he expose the fact that he came here so late at night?
But he didn't ask any more questions. He had been feeling angry all night and had no place to vent his frustration.
hiss!
This damn girl, could she have done it on purpose?
It was a rare occasion for Chu Dichi to suffer a loss in silence. The last time he suffered a loss in silence was last year when he took the blame for her.
