"If you don't take good care of your body, wouldn't it be a waste of all my medicinal herbs?" Bai Jinyi walked over, picked up the man's wrist and felt his pulse.
"I can't die."
Chu Dichi calmly withdrew his hand and looked towards the dim candlelight in the direction of the imperial capital.
"How did Chu Yeli handle the matter of moving the capital?"
Chong Feng said, "I have always rejected it."
"Then we should allocate some manpower to make this matter bigger. Also, how many of the Black Armor Guards who were dispersed in various places have been summoned?"
Beside him, Jingying thought for a moment and said:
"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we can only proceed slowly and secretly. So far, we have only recalled 50% of them."
"Speed up."
"yes."
Chong Feng observed the man's expression and said carefully, "The 30th of next month is the wedding day of Chu Yeli and the mistress..."
Chu Di held his cloak tightly and said, "Oh."
The whole country celebrated the wedding of the Emperor and Empress. It was a time when good and bad people mixed together, the guards of the imperial capital were the busiest, and it was the best time to find loopholes.
The day of his wedding will be the day of his death!
-
night.
When Chu Yeli woke up, he saw the night sky, with a drowsy look between his brows. "How long have I slept?"
"More than three hours."
"Why didn't you call me?"
It was already so late, and even if she woke him up, she had no reason to leave the city again.
Just like that, a whole day was wasted.
She had been thinking about it for a month, but it was delayed.
"Seeing that Fifth Brother looked so exhausted, I couldn't bear to wake him up."
The man smiled gently and rubbed her head. "From your tone, why do you sound a little resentful?"
"I don't dare."
"How could I not know whether you have it or not?" He ruffled her hair. "It's my fault. I said I wanted to accompany you, but I fell asleep. Next time, we can sleep together."
That's not necessary.
"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant and have a good meal, which will be my apology."
After the meal, Chu Li felt listless and had no appetite.
After dinner, return to the palace.
After entering Fengyi Palace, he finally let out the depression that had been pent up in his heart for the entire day and pounded the wall with both fists.
"Thank you, Miss?"
Caiping came in with a basin of water and was almost frightened when she saw this scene.
Ms. Xie, this is...
Chu Li calmly put down his hand, "Put it down, no need to wait on me, I can do it myself."
"yes."
Caiping went out suspiciously.
Chu Li wiped his face roughly and stood in front of the window, looking at the pointed little crescent moon hanging in the air, the dim light illuminating the dark clouds around it.
The palace walls are high.
In the past, she loved to climb over the wall to skip classes. No matter how high the palace wall was, how deep the palace was, or how big the imperial capital was, it was only a matter of thought.
Now, the person she cares about is clearly outside the city, but she is tied up and can't go anywhere.
Is he outside the city?
What are you doing at this moment?
Are all your injuries healed?
Have you had a rest?
In such a quiet night, the moonlight is the only thing they have in common.
The higher the mountain, the smaller the moon appears.
The moon is so small, yet so bright.
I have something in mind while I am far away.
-
The next day.
morning.
Having spent the whole day with Chu Li yesterday, Chu Yeli was in a very good mood. He came over early in the morning, wanting to have breakfast with Chu Li, but from a distance he saw her back as she ran out.
Look at its brisk steps, like a bird out of a cage, like a cat set free.
I couldn't help but chuckle and shake my head.
Why are you running so fast? Is there some good news?
He was about to call out when Ah Yu came running over: "Master, a sharp arrow suddenly shot into the palace. We didn't have time to track down the person, so he hid in the city. This is the secret letter stuck on the tip of the arrow."
The secret letter was pierced with a sharp cut by the arrow tip.
Chu Yeli took it.
When he saw the contents, his pupils shrank sharply and he suddenly looked up at Chu Li's running back. Shock, astonishment, anger and grief suddenly emerged in his eyes.
Ah Yu sensed something was wrong and looked in the direction of his master's gaze.
"Master, do you want me to follow and keep an eye on Miss Xie?"
-
Leave the city.
He entered a small courtyard in the bamboo forest and used the courtyard to escape. He got rid of the guards' pursuit and ran deep into the bamboo forest, but all he saw was an empty place.
Where are the people?
She came one day late, and he was gone?
Chu Li lifted her skirt and trotted quickly, looking around, but apart from her, there was no one else who was quiet here.
He left.
She was late.
Looking at the empty bamboo forest, with misty fog filling his eyes, he gasped for breath in pain, took a few steps back, and suddenly bumped into a solid wall of flesh.
"Why are you still crying like you did when you were a kid?"
A man's deep, muffled laugh sounded from above the back of his head.
Chu Lili turned around quickly, saw that familiar face, and rushed over uncontrollably:
"Uncle!"
Chu Di is late!
It's him!
Familiar breath, familiar voice, it's really him!
I can't hold back my tears anymore.
"Uncle, I thought you were gone. I was delayed yesterday and couldn't get away. I thought you wouldn't wait for me!"
The man laughed and rubbed her head, "How could I bear to abandon you."
Chu Li hugged his waist and rubbed his chest with her red eyes.
"I'm scared."
She dreamed every night of him jumping off a cliff and she could only watch helplessly, unable to stop him no matter how much she shouted and screamed.
Just like a prisoner on execution, he suffers punishment every day and endures the same torture day after day.
There is no end.
"Uncle, you are so stupid. You actually dared to jump off such a high cliff. If something like this happens again in the future, you are not allowed to do it again!"
If he could do it again, Chu Dichi would still do the same.
He couldn't afford to take the risk.
"That woman looks so much like you. Her voice, figure, and face are almost identical. If she is you, I will die with you. If she is not you, I have tried my best to save her. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."
"You can't die!"
Chu Li raised her red eyes and said, "You are not rational! If you were more careful at that time, you would have found out that the woman was not me."
However, now is not the time to talk about this.
"Are you seriously injured? Where are you hurt? Let me see!"
He wiped the corner of his eyes with the back of his hand, quickly untied his belt, opened his collar, and started to check.
Chu Dichi held his clothes tightly.
"I'm fine now."
"I don't believe it!"
How can such a high cliff be erased with just a few words?
If he was really fine, he wouldn't have rested for more than a month and come to see her now.
"Show me now!"
"I really am fine now."
"Uncle, don't lie to me. I have limited time to leave the palace this time so as not to arouse Chu Yeli's suspicion. Take off your clothes quickly!"
Bang——
Over there, Jingying came over leading the carriage, and after hearing this, he almost lost his footing.
There is a sentence in the storybook that is really true:
A short absence is better than a new marriage.
Don't be in a hurry.
Madam, don't be impatient.
Jingying quickly brought the carriage over, tied the two horses firmly to the tree trunk, fixed the carriage, and bent down very sensibly and said:
"Master, mistress, it's cold outside, please get in the carriage!"
