The next day.
Chu Di woke up early and stood up very quietly. He looked at Chu Li's sleeping face with frowned brows and kissed her lightly between the brows.
He stared for a long time before going out.
"Shock Shadow."
"Master, I am here."
Chu Dichi rolled up his sleeves and said as he walked, "Send two trusted confidants to secretly go to the bamboo forest courtyard and bring Concubine Xin over."
Xiaojiu has never been able to get over the death of Concubine Wen.
Concubine Xin and Concubine Wen are both elders and good friends when they were alive. If she were here, perhaps she could give some comfort.
Jingying took the order and did it immediately.
-
Imperial capital.
In the Panlong Hall of the imperial palace, there was the sound of a woman's suppressed pleasure, which made the young eunuch outside blush and lower his head and walk away.
In fact...
It's crying.
"Please let me go...please let me go..."
Jiang Qinxue hugged her messy skirt to cover her body, crying uncontrollably, looking at the ugly and terrifying man in front of her with scars all over his face in despair.
What's even more terrifying is that he is wearing a cassock, and is a Buddha who saves people and the world, but all he does is...
"Are you pregnant?"
Master Guiyi bent down and stroked her belly with his rough hands. "It is your blessing to give birth to a child for the royal family."
Jiang Qinxue was so frightened that she trembled all over and burst into tears:
"Please let me go! I'm in poor health and can't have children. I, I still..."
"Shut up."
Master Guiyi touched her face with a deep gaze.
"With such a pretty face and such a tender cherry mouth, you don't want it to be blocked, right?"
“Ouch—”
Jiang Qinxue trembled.
Everyone thought that she was blessed by the grace of the Lord, but she didn't dare tell anyone what happened in Panlong Palace.
Once you say it, your life will be in danger.
But the emperor...how could the emperor watch a monk act so presumptuously in his bedroom!
She bit her lower lip tightly, not daring to cry out anymore. With tears in her eyes, she looked at the emperor who was sitting in a soft chair with his shoulders slumped, looking as if he had no bones. Her eyes were full of a look of help.
Chu Yeli stared at Master Guiyi with bloodshot eyes, full of hatred:
"Having a father like you is the greatest shame of my life!"
Master Guiyi looked sideways and said with a smile:
"Don't say that, my son. You are only concerned about the Dongling Dynasty and the restoration of the country. You and I are clearly on the same page..."
“Shut up!”
Stop talking!
It's all fake.
It's all fake.
All the humiliation and hatred endured over the years are not worth it!
It's ridiculous just to think about it.
"I don't have a father like you. Just thinking about the fact that you and I have the same blood flowing in our bodies makes me want to kill you!"
"What about Chu Li?"
Master Guiyi walked slowly towards him.
"You have the same blood in your veins, do you hate her too?"
Chu Yeli's eyes turned red.
Stop talking!
Now, he has no idea how to face Chu Li. When the persistent love for more than ten years suddenly turns into family affection, the change is too fast and he cannot adapt.
"My son,"
Master Guiyi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"We are all family."
"Who are you from?!"
Chu Yeli suddenly used up all his strength, grabbed a sharp piece of porcelain hidden in his sleeve, and when he raised his hand to sweep it away, Master Guiyi grabbed his shoulders and threw him back onto the chair.
Bang!
“Ahem… Ugh!”
Master Guiyi smiled sternly, the light in his eyes was unfathomable.
Still want to kill him?
If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished!
"Let me ask you, how come the Regent has been able to attack all the way here, regardless of wind or rain, when the civil strife has not stopped in recent days? If this continues, he will be able to attack the imperial capital in less than half a month."
"Why can't your army be stopped?"
Chu Yeli coughed, his face pale, his eyes red, and he looked at him coldly:
"The Regent has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. I am not as good as him. It is only a matter of time before he takes back the imperial capital and Great Chu."
"impossible!"
Master Guiyi would never allow this to happen.
He has waited for so many years and finally waited for the day of national restoration. This cannot be a flash in the pan.
"I have heard all about how you restored your country. With your strength, the army in your hands, and the absolute sovereignty in your hands, it is impossible for you to be unable to resist the attack of the Regent."
He grabbed Chu Yeli's collar and pulled him in front of him.
"Tell me, did you let it go behind my back?"
“Ahem…”
Chu Yeli was as weak as a chicken, allowing himself to be slaughtered.
good.
He did let it go.
He just wanted the regent to attack the imperial capital as soon as possible and take back the imperial power that belonged to him.
"Ahem... Back then, I was able to compete with the Regent with Tuoba Mingyue's help. Now, I am no match for him at all. He has been in Da Chu for many years, and the connections and people's support he has accumulated are all on his side... Ahem... Da Chu's revival is only a matter of time."
Chu Yeli seemed to have turned the tables, and he curled his lips playfully.
"You want to restore your country, but it's impossible! I've tried for you. This is not twenty years ago. This land has already belonged to the Chu family."
"You can only dream of reviving Dongling... ahem!"
Master Guiyi's eyes were filled with anger.
Something that doesn't make any progress!
But, no rush.
He had a hold on Chu Yeli's weak spot and was not afraid that he would disobey.
"It seems like you really don't want to see Chu Li anymore."
"She's dead..."
"Who said she was dead?"
Chu Yeli's pupils shrank slightly.
Is she really still alive?!
-
Under Chu Dichi's arrangement, two trusted secret guards rode on fast horses and traveled at the fastest speed, bringing Concubine Xin back and forth in just five days.
"Tanuki-chan!"
Hearing this familiar name again, the book in Chu Li's hand fell to the ground with a "click".
"Xin, Empress Xin?"
"Li'er, you're not dead! You're really still alive!" Concubine Xin rushed in quickly.
"When those two secret guards told me, I didn't believe it at first. I thought it was a trick, a trap. I didn't expect to actually see you!"
The two hugged each other tightly.
Xin Fei's eyes were red and she was crying. She kept holding her hand tightly:
"That's great, that's great... Sister Wen is relieved now... Li'er, you must live well and be strong. You are the only person your mother cares about in this life..."
When talking about this topic, both of them burst into tears.
Chu Li's tears fell like beads from a broken string. Her heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife. It hurt so much that she could hardly breathe, but she had to be strong.
"I am unfilial."
"My mother raised me to adulthood, but I failed to take care of her until her death. I even let her die with hatred. I am unfilial..."
"Silly child, she won't care about any of your mistakes. She will only worry about why you have lost weight, whether you have enough to eat, and whether you live a good life. She is your mother, how can she blame you!"
Concubine Xin choked up:
"But if you can't take care of yourself and make her worry in heaven, and she can't rest in peace even after she dies, then that would be truly unfilial."
"You don't know how comfortable we have been living in the bamboo forest courtyard for the past six months. What she talked to me most on weekdays were the trivialities of your growth over the years..."
Concubine Xin talked about everything that happened in the past.
Every word was like a knife cutting into her heart, causing Chu Li to cry out uncontrollably.
Outside the hospital.
Chu Dichi hid in the corner, listening to the crying, his brows knitted:
"Xin Fei is here, why is she crying even more sadly?"
Bai Jinyi whispered, "This is to completely vent the suppressed sadness in your heart. It's better to cry. When you cry, you will feel relieved."
Chu Dichi glanced at him and said, "You sound very experienced. Is your mother dead?"
Bai Jinyi stared.
How do you talk?
"You forgot that I am an orphan. My mother died before I was born."
