Chapter 48 If you want to live, you must be obedient



In an instant, Chu Li knew that some things could never go back to the way they were before.

It's like once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back.

The stable life, the future plans, the hope of leaving the palace, the secluded rest of her life...all vanished like bubbles and left her.

She was grabbed by a big hand and dragged into an endless abyss.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, her vision was filled with brokenness and overwhelming hatred, and she strangled the man's neck with both hands.

But the horse's back shook violently, and she was knocked into his chest by inertia.

"If you fall down, you will die."

The man's cold voice was like thunder in her ears. He grabbed her hands and clasped them above her head, forcing her waist to bend into the curve of a shrimp.

The neck is long and white.

She was full of anger: "Really?"

"If we can get rid of this scourge like you, everyone will be happy!"

Chu Li leaned forward with all his strength, trying to hug him and knock him off the horse.

"If you can get rid of me, it's your ability." He held her waist, and his motionless body was not something she could knock over with her strength.

He grabbed her slender neck without an Adam's apple and breathed out coldly:

"It's just that women's bodies have always been the place of tenderness that men linger on. Are you planning to get rid of me here?"

Chu Li's eyes turned fishy, and a strong sense of humiliation surged in his heart.

"Chu Dichi!"

She grabbed his palm and took a big bite.

“This is the second time.”

He had only just recovered from the bite he received at the Royal Academy, and yet, his body covered with battle wounds and medals was bitten twice in succession by a woman.

Nothing ever happens more than three times.

Chu Dichi's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Chu Li, do you know that you are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Women disguised as men, from Concubine Wen, the entire Wen family, to the palace maids and eunuchs in Zhaolan Palace, even a dog, all must be exterminated.

"This is not something that can be solved by just walking away."

Chu Li knew.

How come you don’t know?

She is not of royal blood, which means that Concubine Wen has cuckolded the emperor. She is punished for multiple crimes and involves many people. At least hundreds of people will lose their lives because of her.

He looked at her with a stern smile: "If you want to survive, and if you want your whole family to survive, you have to be obedient."

At that moment, Chu Li felt a dense chill crawling up his back, as if he was covered by dark clouds and would never see the light of day.

It seemed as if her life was no longer her own, but was tied to her mother, the Wen family, and her relatives and friends.

When one prospers, all prosper.

If one suffers, all suffer.

He ordered, "Relax."

There was hatred and resentment in Chu Li's scarlet eyes, and she had to slowly open her mouth.

But suddenly, her eyes became fierce and murderous, and she grabbed his waist when he was not paying attention and knocked him off the horse.

Bang!

The two of them fell down together and rolled several times. Chu Li felt dizzy from the fall, and before he could recover, he was pinned down by the man, making it hard for him to breathe.

“Let…let me go…”

"Since you want to die, why don't you die under my body? You can also save Concubine Wen and show your filial piety."

"Chu Dichi...ah!"

Her tears welled up. The intense humiliation almost stripped her naked and exposed her to everyone, making her unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life.

All the struggles are in vain.

She was forced to sink.

"Why are you crying?"

"The pain I have endured is a hundred times stronger than yours!"

The grass pricked his skin and it hurt. Chu Li didn't know how long he had been struggling. His throat felt like it was burning like charcoal and he was so hoarse that he could hardly make a sound.

After an unknown amount of time, they rode back to the capital.

The city gate had been closed for a long time, and the soldiers guarding the city had originally sounded their swords in protest to prevent anyone from breaking in. However, when they saw the man on horseback and the woman hidden in his arms, whose appearance could not be seen clearly, they were so scared that they knelt aside and quickly opened the city gate.

Coral Waterside Pavilion.

The night is getting darker.

In the hot spring, he was unconscious.

In the middle of the night, Bai Jinyi was called over by Chongfeng while he was half asleep. He waved his sleeves and angrily scolded, "You called me three times in two days. You're not even this diligent when walking the dog!"

Go straight into Lantingxuan.

A woman was lying on her face, with pale lips, rosy cheeks and one abnormal eye.

Take another closer look:

"Ninth Prince?!"

Wow!

Is it a woman?

So exciting?

Chu Dichi changed into a clean brocade robe, a gorgeous crimson purple dress, tied with a belt lazily, his black hair still dripping with water.

"Show her."

Bai Jinyi was not surprised. Divine Doctor Valley served the royal families of various countries. What bizarre things had he not seen over the years? The Queen of the neighboring Great Qin Kingdom was a man.

I heard that the Emperor of Qin was determined to marry him.

He walked to the bed and felt the patient's pulse. "The fever that just subsided last night has now risen again."

"Achi, what's wrong with you? The weather has been bad these past two days, and she's been caught in the rain. How can her body handle it? If she keeps having a fever, going down, and then having a fever again, over and over again, it might affect her brain."

Chu Dichi looked at him and asked, "Will he become a fool?"

"You want her to become a fool?"

After asking this question, Bai Jinyi realized that he had said something wrong, and immediately took out the cloth bag he was carrying and gave Chu Li acupuncture.

However, he still added:

"You still have poison in your body. You can't have a child. Be careful."

"So what?"

Bai Jinyi choked slightly.

Why do I feel that he is so irritable today?

When he was young, they fed him poisonous seven-leaf seeds to make him childless. The remaining poison in his body had not been cleared, so if he got pregnant, the child would be stillborn.

"You will never have children of your own in your lifetime."

Take care of yourself.

After Bai Jinyi finished the acupuncture, he left a prescription and asked Chongfeng to get the medicine, then went back to sleep.

On the couch, Chu Li closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. However, his sleep was not peaceful. Countless images flashed in his mind:

"This is a crime of deceiving the king."

"He's still in prison, so why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Are you so sure that the evidence I gave you is true?"

"You are so sure..."

Qin Muyu...

Mu Yu...

Duke Fang rushed into the prison with a sword in hand, angrily saying, "You killed my son, you must pay with your life. Give me your life!"

The sword came down with a wave of his hand, and his head and body were separated.

"Qin Muyu!"

Chu Li sat up suddenly, sweat pouring down his forehead. His head, which had just subsided from the fever, felt as if it was weighed down by a thousand pounds. It was dimly lit outside the window, and daybreak was about to begin.

The evidence is false.

Chu Dichi deceived her.

Qin Muyu is unlikely to escape death.

If General Qin takes the false evidence to the Dali Temple, he will surely be retaliated by the Duke's Mansion and charged with slander.

Chu Li threw back the quilt, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he collapsed to his knees.

“Hmm—”

I can't muster any strength.

She slowly clenched her hands, suppressing the bitterness and humiliation in the corners of her eyes. She bit her lower lip almost until it bled, then she climbed up and staggered out.

It drizzles in the morning.

The thin and weak body went into the rain and fog, walking out with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Jingying fetched a thin blanket and draped it over the man, "Master, the Ninth Prince has left."

Autumn is cool and rainy, and it is easy to catch a cold.

"oh."

At that time, Chu Dichi was making tea, his strong knuckles casually fiddling with the blue and white porcelain tea sets, no emotion visible in his eyes.
