"Xiao Jiu..."
Don't be like that.
He just wanted to be with her and live a good life like an ordinary couple.
All he wants is ordinary happiness!
Why is it so difficult?
Chu Li said coldly: "Whatever you want to say, just stand there and tell me. I'm listening."
"Xiaojiu, are you really going to do this with me?"
Chu Yeli stepped forward and said, "I am worried about your physical condition. I am afraid that you will get hurt, that you will feel uncomfortable, and that you will not take medicine properly and torture yourself. As long as you feel uncomfortable, I will be the one who feels the most distressed!"
It’s him!
Why didn't she understand his heart?
Chu Li pursed his lips, "Heh..."
What nice words.
What a touching affection.
It was her bad luck to meet him in this life.
"Are you done?"
Chu Yeli was startled, "I..."
"If there's nothing else, I'd like to take a rest."
The man's eyes showed pain.
Ever since she woke up from her coma, she has been so cold and has never even spoken more than ten words to him.
"Xiaojiu, it doesn't matter how you punish me, but your body is your own, you have to take care of it."
Don't look so pale and dull anymore. You look listless like a flower exposed to the sun, gradually dying.
The realization in his mind at that moment made him extremely frightened.
Chu Li pulled up the quilt, turned sideways, closed her eyes and turned her back to him, without saying a word.
"Xiaojiu."
"Xiao Jiu..."
The man looked at her indifferent back tiredly, as if she had built a high wall to isolate him forever.
They are obviously married...
Everything he wanted was like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror. No matter how hard he tried, he could not reach it or touch it.
Oh.
Hahaha!
Chu Yeli staggered out of the room and looked at the half moon in the sky, feeling that his life was unfulfilling.
The waxing and waning of yin and yang, joys and sorrows, separations and reunions.
As long as you are by my side, for three years, five years, ten years...even for a lifetime, I will wait!
-
The next day.
Only after Concubine Wen was brought into the palace by the guards did Chu Li's expression look a little better.
Only this brief moment of mother-daughter reunion made Chu Li feel that she was still a living person.
"Mother, did they give you any trouble?"
Concubine Wen held her hand, holding back tears and shaking her head:
"They treated me politely and didn't dare to embarrass me. But you... Li'er, I brought what you wanted, but..."
"Are you sure you want to do this..."
There was a dead silence in Chu Li's eyes, with a guilt that was difficult to resolve in this life, but also the open-mindedness to let go of everything.
"Give it to me."
-
Imperial study.
Chu Yeli was just like usual, attending court, leaving court, reviewing memorials, handling official business, and being busy all the time.
Eunuchs came in and out, reporting on various matters:
"Your Majesty, a memorial from North City... Your Majesty, a high monk from Tianling Temple wants to see you... Your Majesty..."
The monks from Tianling Temple came to advise, saying that the imperial capital had gone through many years of ups and downs, the bloodstains were too deep, the wronged souls were too heavy, the dragon energy had been exhausted, and if the capital was established here again, there would definitely be great disasters in the future.
For the sake of the country and the world, it is proposed to move the capital.
Chu Yeli was exhausted.
Everything is not stable yet, the treasury is empty, and the corrupt officials have not been eliminated. Where would there be so much money to rebuild the palace?
He didn't believe such nonsense.
Refuse to move the capital.
However, no one knows who leaked the news, and when it spread to the public, it caused an uproar.
The imperial capital is in turmoil and the people are uneasy.
The unrest among the people directly affects the economic development of all industries.
The economy was in chaos and the people were dissatisfied. In just three days, there were more than 40 cases of civil disputes and fights between the people.
If the people are uneasy, the country will be in turmoil, and all problems will be concentrated on Chu Yeli.
That’s not all.
The unrest among the people was just the beginning. Many officials submitted memorials to make things difficult, especially the old guys in the cabinet.
It was as if everyone had discussed it beforehand and were working together to deal with him.
Chu Yeli had hardly slept properly in the past few days, and he would get angry every time he was halfway through reviewing a memorial:
"Send this letter back!"
"Assholes, how dare you force me? I am the emperor, how dare these people!"
Bang!
Throwing memorials.
Several books were thrown at him in a row, and the frightened eunuch knelt on the ground, picking them up silently, trembling and not daring to breathe.
Chu Yeli pulled his collar, exhaled the foul air, and sat back heavily in the chair. He hadn't had a good rest for several days, and his forehead was throbbing with a dull pain.
I feel very tired.
Outside the door, A Yu came in.
Seeing his master like this, he froze for a moment, and a few words came to his lips, not knowing whether he should report it or not.
"explain."
The man didn't open his eyes.
Ah Yu strode forward and said, "Master, I have checked and found that the unrest among the people, the monks of Tianling Temple, and the cabinet were all... the work of the Queen."
Chu Yeli suddenly opened his eyes.
"The officials who jointly submitted a petition to the court, the uneasy business and medical circles, all of them were once students of Master Jiang, and they also... also have a relationship with the queen."
The Queen was also a student of Master Jiang.
Although Master Jiang was dead, the Queen secretly contacted them, stood on the opposite side of her master, and did her utmost to oppose her master.
Chu Yeli thought about everything that had happened in the past few days and laughed:
"Heh... Queen... I should have known it was her earlier. I should have known it earlier."
Ah Yu observed the master's expression and asked tentatively:
"Master, would you like me to ask the Queen to come over?"
"No need."
He pushed aside the memorials on the table, stood up and said, "I'll go find her."
Today, Concubine Wen did not enter the palace.
Chu Li sat under the tree, quietly basking in the sun, watching the birds that occasionally flapped their wings and flew by in the air. He kept his head slightly raised and said nothing.
Caiping was waiting on the side, not quite understanding what was so good about these birds. The Queen had already been watching them for two hours.
"The tea is cold."
Just as he was thinking this, Cai Ping came back to his senses:
"I will add more right away!"
She picked up the teapot and hurried to the kitchenette to boil water. Only two cups of cooling tea were left on the table, with no signs of having been touched.
As Cai Ping left, another pair of footsteps approached outside Fengyi Palace.
Chu Li lightly covered her sleeves, calmly withdrew her gaze, and swept outside the palace.
Two cups of cold tea, two people.
It was as if she had expected him to come.
"Xiaojiu looks a little better today." Chu Yeli walked over with a gentle expression, just as usual, as if it had never changed since he was a child.
Chu Li raised his hand and touched his cheek:
"It's just a shell. No matter how you look at it, it looks like this."
The man folded his body and sat down. "Now that I have more energy, I look much better."
He looked at her with a smile:
"Is there anything happy happening recently?"
Chu Li said calmly: "Not bad."
"Just okay?" the man said in a deep voice, "Contacting the enemy to target me, isn't that enough to make you happy?"
Chu Li chuckled.
Oh.
It turned out that he was here to test her.
"In that case, use whatever means you have. As long as I can make you smile, it will all be worth it."
