Six days later, the Regent arrived at the city gates and met Chu Li in the bamboo forest.
"Xiaojiu, have you found any clues about mother's matter?"
Chu Li didn't know how to start.
In the past few days, she found a secret house, settled the eight poor women there, and assigned the five of them, Chu Er and Chu San, to take care of them.
And the baby boy...
His biological mother was mentally insane and could not even put on clothes. She would not go to the toilet when she had to, so she was unable to take care of the child.
She then found a merchant family. The woman was in poor health and was nearly forty years old. She had been trying to have a child for many years without success. So she took the baby boy away and acknowledged him as her godfather and stepmother.
Wait until his biological mother is cured of her madness and then come back to recognize him.
She was already exhausted just by being busy with all these things. As for the death of Concubine Wen, she suspected that it was Master Guiyi who was responsible, but she really couldn't think of any reason why he would want to harm Concubine Wen.
Chu Li was brewing words.
It took a long time before he told the whole story from beginning to end.
Chu Dichi looked shocked.
It was obvious that even he was shocked, which showed how outrageous Master Guiyi's behavior was!
"I didn't expect this person to be so hidden and related to Chu Yeli."
Chu Li pursed her lips:
"He is in the palace now, so it is inconvenient for me to send people to investigate. I don't know what the situation is like in the palace, but I... I am suspected to be related to Master Guiyi by blood."
It's hard to say.
This is a stain ingrained in her bones that will never go away and will make her unable to hold her head up.
"Uncle, I..."
"Xiaojiu," Chu Dichi held her hand, "blood doesn't mean anything. The grace of giving birth is not as great as the grace of raising. What's more, he never gave birth to you. He just had a romantic night when he created you."
This thin strand of blood could not become a shackle to trap her.
"You don't have to find burdens for yourself."
"He doesn't deserve it."
Chu Li looked at the man's gentle face, and the haze in her heart for the past few days seemed to be dispelled by seven points.
"We cannot choose where we are born, and we cannot even control our circumstances when we are young or weak. But the present and the future are the only things we can control."
Chu Dichi held her face, forehead against forehead, and said softly,
"Don't blame yourself for the mistakes of others. As long as we act uprightly and have a clear conscience, we don't need to worry about the consequences of others' actions."
Chu Li's eyes warmed up, and her body softened and nestled into his arms.
Breathing in the familiar scent, I feel particularly at ease.
Wherever my heart is at peace is my hometown.
Wherever the emperor's uncle is, there is home.
"Master, down there..." Jingying suddenly rushed in, and seeing the two of them hugging each other, he was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly.
Oh my God!
He didn't mean it.
Chu Li immediately stood up and took a half step back, "What's the matter?"
Chu Dichi looked at Jingying with a smile, his face was kind:
"Is it really something urgent?"
Shocking Shadow: “…”
Don't laugh.
Very scary.
Be serious.
"I have a report from below. A secret letter has been sent from the palace. Please have a look at it, Master."
"oh."
Of course, he was very busy and didn't even have time to spend private time with Xiaojiu.
The days I spent on the small island in the south of the Yangtze River were still happier.
After everything is done and the dust has settled, he will definitely sleep well with Xiaojiu for seven days and seven nights.
Return to the bamboo forest courtyard.
When the secret letter was presented, the word "negotiation" was clearly visible.
Chu Li said in a deep voice: "Chu Yeli requested to negotiate, and only I and the Regent can go, no third person is allowed, otherwise I will kill my eighth brother?"
As soon as this letter came out, the expressions of everyone at the table became gloomy.
Xie Enhong speculated, "What is Chu Yeli trying to do? The Regent King is at the gates of the city, and he knows he can't win, so he wants to use some despicable means to win?"
Sitting next to him, Xiao Yexing seemed to be thinking:
"Based on his methods, we cannot rule out the possibility that this is a Hongmen Banquet."
Bai Jinyi: "I can't go."
If you go, you will risk your life and there will be no return.
Jingying hesitated: "Then...will he really kill the Eighth Prince?"
Just like when he murdered his master.
There is nothing that Chu Yeli can't do.
Jingying's words made the air in the room shudder and everyone fell silent.
They will not abandon the Eighth Prince, but they cannot fall into Chu Yeli's trap.
moment.
Chu Dichi said calmly, "We have surrounded the Imperial City. Chu Yeli is now trapped. If he dares to attack during the negotiations, you will immediately attack the city."
His state determines Chu Yeli's state.
Only when he is safe will Chu Yeli be safe.
He met with an accident and Chu Yeli was trapped in the imperial capital, with no chance of seeing the sun the next day.
Xiao Yexing said:
"That's not the case. Chu Yeli deserved to die. His life is worthless. But if something happens to you, it would be a huge loss."
White Brocade:
"That's right. He's a despicable man, and he's buried with you? I still think he's not qualified enough."
Xie Enhong said: "..."
They had a serious discussion.
You and I discussed our opinions one after another, but Chu Li sat aside and waited until they had almost finished speaking before he slowly spoke:
"Have you forgotten that Master Guiyi is also in the palace right now?"
Everyone's expressions straightened.
right!
Master Guiyi!
Forgot about this!
"Master Guiyi and Chu Yeli are in the same group."
"These two are in cahoots with each other, what are they up to?"
"We can't abandon the Eighth Prince..."
Another heated discussion.
Opinions clash.
In the end, for Chu Aotian, Chu Dichi decided to accept Chu Yeli's request for negotiation and agreed to enter the palace at night three days later.
During these three days, he made arrangements for Xiao Yexing and others, and selected a group of elite soldiers, dressed in plain clothes, to sneak into the imperial capital and lurk in the dark.
Both sides are making full preparations.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
night.
The imperial capital was still bustling and noisy, with candles ablaze and a full moon illuminating the dark clouds around it. The moonlight was vast, and the magnificent palace was still there.
When I came back, having experienced so many ups and downs, life and death, my state of mind was no longer the same as in previous years.
Chu Li and Chu Dichi walked hand in hand into the palace, and the guards on duty stopped them:
"You two, for your own safety, please cooperate with our body search and do not bring weapons into the palace."
Chu Li spread his hands lazily.
"Please."
No weapons are required.
If a fight really breaks out, the swords in these people's hands will be ready-made weapons.
The guards quickly searched and confirmed that there was no threat before leading the way:
"Please follow me."
When he returned to the palace again, there were familiar corners everywhere, but Chu Li acted like a guest, setting up defenses everywhere and getting in the way.
Died of laughter.
While she was jumping up and down and running around in the palace, these people didn't know where they were.
"please."
The guards led him along the way. "Please."
We went up the stairs, crossed the long street, and walked around the corridor, and finally stopped outside a huge palace.
arrive.
"You two, please come in."
Chu Li took a few steps and looked over.
The door of the palace was wide open, and a long red carpet was laid out, extending all the way to the deepest part of the palace. Looking outside, I saw a familiar bright yellow figure sitting on the main seat in the center.
Suddenly, their eyes met.
