He is behind.
He didn't say anything.
Chu Li didn't care about so much. The discomfort in her body made her feel very uncomfortable. It happened that the man's palm actually suppressed the heat wave in her body.
She immediately steadied her breathing and tried her best to adjust.
finally.
After everything calmed down, all her strength was drained away and she fell limply into an arms as hard as a wall.
She was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to raise her hands.
"When did you become so good at martial arts?"
I practiced secretly without her knowing.
"You didn't tell me... A-choo!"
After the effect of the medicine wore off, the ice bed seemed exceptionally cold. The chilling air penetrated into the body through the opened pores, instantly causing Chu Li to have a high fever.
So cold...
He hugged her.
A hand passed through her armpit, grasped her slender waist, lifted her up gently, and held her in his arms.
Her back was pressed tightly against his chest, and the warmth in his arms made Chu Li subconsciously move closer:
"It's so cold, you feel so comfortable..."
Her face flushed and she rubbed him unconsciously.
The man's other hand fell on her slender snow-white neck, gently stroking it inch by inch. His rough fingertips were like polished gravel, causing her body to tremble wherever he passed.
"Um……"
The cool and aching hands gently grasped her shoulders, stroked her collarbone, and gently caressed her pale, slightly parted lips.
Due to excessive weakness, his lips were as white as paper and dry and flaky.
But, when has Mu Yu ever been like this?
Since childhood, Chu Li and Qin Muyu have played together. They were carefree, listened to operas, touched fish, and did bad things. To put it simply, the two of them grew up wearing the same pair of pants.
When her good friend suddenly hugged her and touched her face, was it a little...
Something wrong?
"Mu Yu, what are you...ah!"
The man suddenly applied force with his fingertips, pressing the corner of her lip against her canine teeth, drawing blood instantly.
Chu Li turned around in pain, and saw a face as cold as ink.
"Uncle!"
In that instant, it was like seeing a ghost.
She pushed him away and fell on the ice bed, thinking back to what happened just now... her back felt even colder than the ice bed.
It’s actually him!
She always thought it was Qin Muyu!
"Why, why is it you......"
Chu Dichi stood in front of the icy bed, a chilly air surging around him. There seemed to be a layer of frost in his eyes as he stared at her like a frightened bird. "What else?"
"Who do you think it is?"
There was no third person in the secret room except them.
Chu Li felt dizzy and the cold air invaded her body, making her head heavy. She struggled to get out of bed, but the man waved her back.
"ah!"
I almost fainted after the fall.
"Uncle, I, I should go back to the palace."
Chu Dichi looked down at her. The petite girl was curled up in the icy bed, clutching her clothes on her chest with both hands, staring at him in panic, with a vigilant look as if she was on guard against a wolf.
"You know how to call me uncle now?"
Don't you prefer to call him by his full name?
"I……"
Chu Li felt like there was something stuck in his throat. "I... I was wrong, uncle. I will never dare to contradict you again. Please don't hold grudges against me."
"Have you forgotten, Ninth Prince? I am only a few years older than you, so I am not considered an adult."
Chu Li almost choked to tears.
Chu Dichi stepped forward and Chu Li fled in panic.
“No… ah!”
"Aren't you afraid of me?" The man raised his hand and pinched her collar, as if he was holding a chicken.
She looked terrified, her face was pale and weak, but there was a drop of blood at the corner of her cracked lip, and the bright red color moistened the corner of her mouth a little.
The enchanting red color of the embellishment caught Chu Dichi's eyes.
Just now, if Qin Muyu was here, would they have just...
Grab her jaw.
“Hmm!”
"Chu Li, you are not honest."
She was forced to look up, breathing hard, "No, I dare not..."
"Do you know what will happen if you deceive me?"
The man spoke in a normal voice, neither happy nor angry, but his unpredictable look was truly frightening.
"I didn't lie to my uncle, I didn't..."
"Is that so?"
He leaned down and sniffed the orchid scent on her neck, which was exactly the same as the scent in his memory. He was like a hunter lurking in the dark night, biting that snow-white neck.
"ah……"
She tilted her head back, small pimples appeared on her neck, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Uncle... I have to go back to the palace. I have to go to the Imperial Academy. I haven't finished memorizing today's lessons yet... I still have to practice calligraphy... I..."
"Chu Li."
He raised his head and saw tears in the corners of her wet and red eyes. "Why are you crying? I won't eat you. Besides, you will cry again in the future."
"Hide your tail."
He pinched the back of her neck, pressed her into his arms coldly, and whispered in her ear:
"I am waiting for you to come to me in person."
-
Chu Li seemed to have had a dream.
In her dream, she was delirious with fever and drowsiness. She couldn't tell east from west, south from north, but a man forcefully broke in, calling out "Chu Li" over and over again. It was like a spell that entangled her and left her with nowhere to escape.
The cool breath from the man squeezed out, filling all her thoughts, pressing between her lips and teeth, making it difficult to breathe.
Gradually losing consciousness...
When she woke up again, she stood up and knocked down Qin Muyu who was holding the medicine.
Bang!
"Ali, are you okay?" Qin Muyu didn't care about the red back of his hand and hurried to help her, but his hand stopped in the air.
Chu Li was sweating profusely, breathing heavily, and looking around subconsciously.
This is in a clean and bright room.
She was lying on the bed.
"here it is……"
"This is the side room in the General's Mansion, my sister's courtyard."
Qin Muyu should have taken her to his own courtyard, but...
When he finished his official duties and rushed back to the secret room, he saw Chu Li lying on the ground. He had just picked her up when he saw that her belt had loosened and her clothes had slipped off her shoulders, revealing a corner... a bra binder.
At that moment, it was like a lightning strike.
He had grown up with her since childhood, but he didn't know that she was...
Chu Li seemed to have had a dream, but it was so real that it seemed like it had happened to her. Her mind was in a mess and she could not distinguish between reality and illusion.
"How did I get here?"
"When I rushed back to the secret room, you had fainted and had a high fever. I asked someone to drive a carriage to bring you back."
"Where is the Regent? Has he ever been here?"
Qin Muyu shook his head:
"No, I transported the food outside the city and saw the Regent busy in the disaster area. He was there until I came back."
I don't know why she asked this, but she added, "The emperor ordered him to help the victims, he can't leave his post without permission."
Chu Li lowered his head in a trance.
Yeah?
Is it her illusion?
Was she just having a nightmare?
Qin Muyu pursed his lips and looked at the broken bowl on the ground. "Ah Li, your high fever has just subsided and your body is still very weak. You should have a good rest. I will ask someone to boil some medicine again."
He looked at her with a complicated expression and turned to leave.
Chu Li sat on the bed in confusion, grabbing the intact clothes on his body, touching his neck, face, and then mouth.
"hiss--"
There was a clear sense of pain at the corner of my mouth.
Why is the corner of her mouth broken?
Really... just a dream?
