"Let me see where I fell!"
Chu Li lifted her feet and leaned lightly on his arm, "Fifth brother, the ground is slippery, don't walk so fast, I'm fine."
Chu Yeli picked her up sideways and scolded her with his head tilted:
"What a bunch of good-for-nothings! All the ice on the floor and beams of the palace must be cleared away within one hour!"
The palace servants were terrified: "Yes!"
Tuoba Mingyue stood aside and watched Chu Yeli nervously holding Chu Li away.
I couldn't help but recall Chu Li's voice in my mind:
Why do latecomers win? Because I fight and compete.
"Princess, your hand is bleeding!"
Xiang Yue suddenly exclaimed.
It turned out that when the ice pick fell, it scratched the back of Tuoba Mingyue's hand, but it was too cold and the pain was dull.
"I will go and report to the Emperor and ask for the imperial physician!"
"No..." Yes.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the words got stuck in his throat.
In the past, as long as one was not dead, the injury would be minor.
But this time, she hesitated...
Tuoba Mingyue returned to the palace where she lived, but she didn't expect that Chu Yeli would come with the imperial physician just as she sat down.
"Brother Yeli?"
She was very surprised.
Isn’t he accompanying Chu Li?
"Are you injured?" Chu Yeli came over and immediately looked her over, his eyes landing on her bright red right hand.
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I……"
She never thought that such a minor injury would be worth worrying about.
"It's just a minor injury..."
The imperial physician smiled and said, "Princess, women's skin is delicate and it is not easy to leave scars, but this is not a minor injury. Please sit down and I will bandage it for you."
Chu Yeli ordered: "Be careful and use the best medicine."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Tuoba Mingyue's eyes looked a little dazed.
They had been through thick and thin together along the way, and were close friends worthy of trust. She thought she was the best person to him in the world, and she thought this was what love looked like.
She was proud by nature and had been competitive since childhood, but because of Chu Li's words, she experienced the feeling of competition for the first time.
"Brother Yeli, is Chuli okay?"
"The imperial physician has checked and found that he was not injured, but his clothes were wet. He has already changed them."
"Then we should be careful. She is delicate and if she catches a cold... A-choo!"
Chu Yeli leaned forward, "Cold?"
"I……"
On the side, Xiang Yue immediately said, "The climate in the South Barbarians is hot. Even in winter, it has never snowed so heavily. Our princess has just arrived, so naturally she is not used to it."
In the past, Tuoba Mingyue would never allow Xiangyue to talk about these trivial matters.
However, it was precisely this kind of right and wrong that made Chu Yeli worried:
"The charcoal fire in the princess's palace should be heated up... you go and make ginger soup... you go and take the newly-decorated white fox fur downstairs to Jinxiufang, and make it into a cloak for the princess... you go..."
Chu Yeli has never looked down on Tuoba Mingyue.
The two are comrades-in-arms and close friends.
She saved him and he saved her.
They complement each other, but there is no love.
But even so, Tuoba Mingyue felt unprecedented satisfaction in his heart.
It turns out that she no longer needs to be as strong and invulnerable as a man; it turns out that with appropriate means and submission, she can get what she wants.
-
Fengyi Palace.
Chu Li had already changed her clothes, but Chu Yeli had not returned for a long time.
She stood at the window, watching the ice and snow melting outside, without saying a word.
The maid thought she was unhappy and said tentatively, "Miss Xie, please don't worry. The emperor only cares about the princess as a friend. He only loves you in his heart."
suspicious?
No.
Chu Li was very happy.
Let the people who are worth it be with the people who are worth it, and let everything return to the original track.
Since they were not together, she sowed discord between them, forced Tuoba Mingyue away, and eliminated Chu Yeli's biggest helper.
If they were together...
Oh.
That would be even bigger trouble.
Is it Tuoba Mingyue who marries here, or is it Chu Yeli who marries into the family?
The rulers of the two countries represent the pinnacle of power. Who would be willing to be suppressed by others?
If Tuoba Mingyue married, the entire Nanman would be her "dowry". How could the Nanman people and soldiers agree to this? How could they accept such a great humiliation?
If Chu Yeli were to marry into the family, this would be even more impossible.
Let them have their headache.
Chu Li was in a good mood, "I want to leave the palace."
"I will go and arrange the carriage now."
This time, Ayu followed from a distance and did not watch her so closely, but her every move still could not escape his eyes.
Leave the city.
When passing by the camp from yesterday, I suddenly heard the loud laughter of the southern barbarians:
"Our princess is still so majestic!"
"Hahaha! We Nanman are invincible!"
"Number one in the world!"
Chu Li lifted the curtain of the carriage and only heard a few words, and had no idea what was going on. However, he saw seven or eight Chu soldiers standing quietly with their heads down, but their clenched fists showed their humiliation at the moment.
She waved:
"Come here and talk."
When they came forward, their eyes turned red, "Xie Miss..."
"What happened?"
"Miss Xie, yesterday Zhang Qiang, Wang Heng and the others had a fight with the Nanman soldiers. Everything was supposed to be over, but last night a general suddenly came and said he wanted to transfer Zhang Qiang, Wang Heng and the others to another army."
"But when the general came back, I saw his scabbard dripping with blood..."
They must have been killed!
Chu Li's eyes turned slightly cold:
"Go find out which direction the general left last night."
"yes!"
Several people wiped their tears and ran there immediately as if they saw hope.
In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone came back crying:
"They really are dead!"
"Ms. Xie, their bodies were dumped in the woods behind the mountain, half buried in the snow, and all of them had been stabbed in the neck!"
Chu Li suddenly clenched his fists.
Chu Yeli, this is your explanation to Tuoba Mingyue!
The southern barbarian soldiers were rampant and arrogant, and they were bullying you, but you secretly killed all your own soldiers to put an end to the matter!
This homeland, which is clearly the place where they grew up, is now being bullied and abused by a group of foreign barbarians.
This is also the hometown where Chu Yeli grew up!
Although Chu Li was angry, he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice:
"Since he dares to do such a thing, he must be brave enough to take responsibility and not be sneaky."
"Do you want to vent your anger?"
Several people wiped tears from their red eyes, "I want to!"
"When the Regent led us before, he never humiliated us like this!"
"Okay," Chu Li said solemnly, "In that case, you should immediately retrieve their bodies and place them in the most conspicuous place in the military camp to make a big fuss about this matter."
Since ancient times, whoever wins the hearts of the people will win the world.
The same is true for the military.
