The carriage passed through the hustle and bustle of the street and drove towards the tranquil Coral Waterside Pavilion. Away from the noise, the air around them became much quieter.
A broad, large palm covered the back of the hand.
Chu Li lowered his eyes.
"Xiaojiu," Chu Dichi said kindly, "If you are scared, I will stay with you tonight..."
"I'm not afraid!"
The woman's porcelain-white face was full of determination.
When she was exposed in public and when so many people were watching her, she might have been nervous for a moment, but since she had chosen this path, she should not back down.
She wants to live uprightly and with her head held high!
"Uncle, thank you for showing me the way. Otherwise, I might still be hiding in Jiangnan City, watching the rage of Magistrate Li."
Chu Dichi: "... Yeah."
She doesn't have to be so strong.
Be vulnerable and give him a chance.
"You made me realize that there are many choices in life, and escaping is the most cowardly. I want to stand in the sun and reunite with my family and friends."
Chu Li reviewed the game seriously:
"The Sixth Prince has discovered me. My existence will soon spread. Before that, I will try my best to make all the necessary preparations."
Outside the carriage, a startled figure:
"Master, we have arrived at the Coral Water Pavilion."
"Thank you, uncle, for sending me back."
Chu Li jumped off the carriage and walked up the stairs without looking back.
Chu Di opened his mouth late: "Xiao Jiu."
He held the curtain and was about to get out of the car, but she started walking away, seemingly without any intention of inviting him, causing his action to be stuck halfway.
Chu Li turned back: "What's wrong?"
Smacking his lips:
"Don't you have anything to tell me?"
Chu Li thought for a moment and said, "It's cold at night, so be careful on your way back, uncle."
After she finished speaking, she went in. She was concentrating all her attention on thinking about what to do next, how to set up the trap, how to deal with it, and how to stay safe when her identity was truly exposed.
She had no time for distractions.
Every next step is crucial.
The emperor's uncle is already busy enough dealing with the internal and external troubles of the Chu State. She will definitely protect herself so as not to hold him back.
Based on my understanding of the Sixth Prince over the years, he will definitely take revenge for what happened tonight...
"Chuyi, come and discuss matters with me!"
"Chu Er, close the door."
Bang—the door closed.
The expression on Chu Dichi's face was not very good, and the silence at this moment was somewhat peaceful.
The plan was: bring her back to the capital, hold her in arms every night, look at the little beauty every day, it would be pleasing to the eyes, and keep her in a golden house.
But looking at how recklessly she rolled up her sleeves and started working, it seemed as if she was ready to fight five people alone.
What should he do then?
He pursed his lips and asked Jingying, "Although Coral Waterside Pavilion is lent to Miss Xie, it is still my private garden after all. It is reasonable for me to leave without being invited, right?"
Jingying shook his head:
"That won't do, Master. Have you forgotten your promise to not trespass?"
Swish!
The car curtain was suddenly dropped.
The lifted corner of the curtain scraped against Jingying's face, hurting her as if she were being stabbed by a knife.
What's wrong? What's wrong?
Did he say something wrong?
Why is the master angry for no reason?
Money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat. It's not easy to be a secret guard these days.
-
The Imperial Palace.
If there is anyone who is more difficult to be than a secret guard, it must be a prince.
Especially the idle king.
Chu Aotian was holding a book and studying "Strategies of Governing the Country". Although Master Jiang was old, he was still with him.
"Teacher, it's already late, you should go back and rest first."
Master Jiang shook his head, and looked at him with relief in his cloudy eyes:
"Your Highness Prince Xian has made great progress. I am happy. When I am happy, I don't feel sleepy anymore."
Chu Aotian sighed.
During this period of time, his eyes have become dark and his eye sockets have become sunken, let alone an elderly teacher?
"Biejiu, give the teacher a bowl of the black chicken and ginseng soup that my mother made."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."
Master Jiang bowed, took the bowl from the young eunuch, thanked him again, and then drank a few sips. Unexpectedly, his stomach started to growl as soon as he swallowed the ginseng soup.
pain!
This ginseng soup...
"Your Highness, if you are tired of reading and want to take a rest, just tell me. Why... why..."
He covered his stomach in pain, bowed quickly, and ran out to find a toilet.
Chu Aotian opened his mouth wide: "..."
It’s been almost a month, and mother’s cooking skills haven’t improved yet?
Fortunately he didn't drink.
He was scared to death.
Another escape.
"Quick, take it away and pour it out. If Mother comes to ask about it, just tell her I drank it all!"
Biejiu picked up the porcelain cup and poured it out immediately.
At the same time, a young eunuch with an unfamiliar face ran into the hall, lowered his head slightly, with dark eyes, and reported a piece of news in a solemn tone...
Chu Aotian stood up suddenly and dropped the book in his hand:
"What did you say...really...is it spreading throughout the city?"
He hurriedly brushed away the pen and ink, walked around the table, and ran out.
Ninth brother is still alive?
How is this possible!
Could it be that...
Was it because of the ninth brother that the emperor's uncle decided to go to Jiangnan?
Ninth brother!
Chu Aotian was in a state of confusion, his hands were shaking with excitement, and he staggered towards the palace gate. For the first time, he used his identity as the Prince of Leisure to break the palace curfew and forced the Imperial Guards to let him out of the palace.
Ninth brother is outside!
He wants to find his ninth brother!
Chu Aotian had just left the palace and ran half a street when he was hit on the back of the head and fell to the ground in a faint.
“Hmm!”
A dark figure walked out slowly in the night, with a sinister smile on his face: "Go tell Miss Xie that Prince Xian has met with an accident and his life is at stake. Come and see him for the last time."
