Chu Li suddenly had an idea:
"I drank last night and fell asleep as soon as I got home. Maybe I didn't take a shower, and the weather was hot, so I got a rancid smell."
"..."
Chu Dichi let go of her, his expression indescribable.
He wiped the bloody sword on the body of the guard and looked at Chu Li with disdain: "You, escort me out of the palace."
Chu Li glared:
"You are such a grown-up, but you still need to be escorted? Don't you know the way out of the palace? Besides, there are so many guards and eunuchs, how can it be your turn... to be escorted!"
The man raised his cold eyes slightly, and Chu Li changed his words instantly:
"Uncle, your nephew will take you there!"
Chu Di walked slowly, and wherever he went, the palace maids and concubines gave way one after another, looking so panicked, as if they had encountered a plague.
Even the queen was afraid.
Chu Li followed him reluctantly, biting her lower lip, and was forced to send him out of the palace.
The man's right hand was slightly curled behind his back. Although his steps were steady as usual, the few strands of sweat on his forehead showed that he was not in a good condition at the moment.
He suppressed his cold eyes and glanced sideways:
"Go faster."
Chu Li gritted his teeth: "My wound hurts, I can't walk fast!"
"I've been raising it for five or six days and it's still not healed. It's useless."
Chu Li was furious.
He beat me, and he still has the nerve to say that!
Last night...
"If the emperor's uncle really thinks I'm useless, you might as well ask a eunuch to send him off. I'll go back first... um!"
The man suddenly grabbed her neck under his armpit.
Huh?
Don't carry her with you!
Chu Li's head was in front, her butt was raised at the back, and she was dragged along by the man, staggering.
That's all.
His tall body exerted most of his strength on her, making her legs feel as if they were filled with lead and she almost fell.
Immediately, half of his face turned red with discomfort:
"Uncle!"
"If you dare to say anything more, I will crush you to death."
Chu Dichi leaned on her, his thin lips slightly pale, his voice hoarse and deep, "Let's go!"
Chu Li had to support him, walking with difficulty. The turbid sweat mixed with the minty coolness of his body, complex and heavy, which reminded her of last night...
He said he was killing her, and he wasn't joking.
He said he would be able to do it.
Even his father was afraid of the Black Armor Guards under his command. With the merits accumulated over the years, he could kill court officials without reporting to the emperor later, let alone her, a prince who had made no contribution to the country and the people.
But why her?
She didn't want to have anything to do with him in her life, but things didn't go as she wished.
Chu Li was angry, and his face turned red due to the anger.
Finally arrived at the palace gate.
She was sweating profusely, as if she had been pardoned.
Chu Dichi looked coldly: "With such little courage, how dare you go against me every time?"
Chu Li had never been against him!
never mind.
Get out of here, old man!
If she can't afford to offend him, can't she just hide away?
Goodbye!
Chu Li brushed off his hand, turned around and ran back to the palace without even looking back. Naturally, he did not see Chu Dichi staggering a few steps holding on to the palace wall, and his tall figure finally collapsed.
"master!"
Chong Feng flashed over and hurriedly helped the man up, but he felt blood on his hand on the dark robe.
"Master, your wound has clearly healed 60% already, how come it is torn so badly?"
Chu Dichi pursed his pale thin lips, beads of sweat beading on his forehead.
last night……
The powerful aphrodisiac lost its effect, and the excessive exercise caused the wound to burst.
Because the palace gates had already been locked, he was trapped for a whole night. After some trouble in the harem, he was finally able to leave the palace.
If I had been a step later, I would have fainted in the palace.
There was hardly anyone in the palace who didn't want to kill him.
But when I think of that soft and delicate body last night, I vaguely remember the sweet fragrance on her lips, as addictive as opium. Her sobbing was intermittent and pitiful, but I can't remember the girl's face.
She was in the hazy night.
The outline seemed to be near and far, appearing and disappearing, but I could not recall her eyebrows or eyes.
With a calm look in his eyes, he took out a few blue threads from his sleeve.
Judging from the curled shape of the thread, it was forcibly pulled off the woman when she lost control last night.
"Find out who owns it."
-
The eldest prince's palace.
study.
Three dignified figures sat upright, and no matter how fragrant the tea was, it could not dispel the calculating and gloomy atmosphere of the moment.
"The Regent did not violate Lady Lan, so where did he go last night?"
The Sixth Prince spoke in a calm voice and looked at the other two.
The second prince looked cold, but because he had a pair of narrow and long auspicious phoenix eyes, he looked a bit calculating and shrewd. He said:
"The smell of tuberose mixed with vinegar, in a crowded, high-temperature environment, is a powerful aphrodisiac."
The stronger the internal force, the more powerful the aphrodisiac effect.
"If he didn't understand, he would have exploded and died, but he left the palace in good health. Could it be that he had sex with a palace maid last night..."
despair.
despair!
Behind the desk, Chu Yuanchi lowered his head slightly, lifted the lid of the teacup, put it down, lifted it up again, put it down again, and seemed a little distracted.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Chu Yuanchi raised his head, with a hint of worry in his brows:
"Last night, I took advantage of a crowded occasion to put tuberose on Xiaojiu's wrist. Xiaojiu was naive, and I felt sorry for her..."
Regent Chinese medicine, the "murderer" is Chu Li, no matter how hard you investigate, you can't find it on them.
The second prince said:
"Father loves Xiaojiu, and the Regent dare not act recklessly. If Xiaojiu can really lend us a helping hand, and get rid of the Regent in one fell swoop, solving Father's biggest concern, then that would be a great achievement."
"But……"
"Brother, if you are not ruthless, your position will not be stable."
The Second Prince held his wrist and said in a deep voice:
"You are the eldest son of the Emperor, and should have been made the Crown Prince. However, the Emperor has been hesitant to appoint a crown prince, and your third, fourth, and seventh brothers are keeping a close eye on you. If you make a mistake for even a moment, you will lose the kingdom."
Since ancient times, the victorious princes have always been kings and the defeated princes often have no good ending.
There is no time to hesitate in the fight for the throne!
The Regent is the person my father fears the most.
Only by getting rid of him can my father appoint me as the crown prince!
-
Zhaolan Palace.
The first thing Chu Li did when he came back was to order:
"Close the palace door. I need to recover from my injuries. For the next month, no one is allowed to enter or leave except the imperial kitchen and my mother!"
Can't afford to offend.
She hid.
It is impossible for the Regent to pry open her palace door and cause trouble for her.
Gou Ba accompanied and served:
"Master, what if the young general of the Qin family comes to play with you?"
Chu Li was silent for a moment:
"Except for the imperial kitchen, my mother, and Qin Muyu, no one is allowed to enter or leave."
Qin Muyu was her childhood sweetheart. He had been her playmate since she entered the Royal Academy to start her studies.
When studying, read and write together.
When practicing martial arts, they rode horses and shot arrows together, and learned the six arts of a gentleman.
Gou Ba wrote down, "Your clothes from last night have been washed, but I dare not wash this sachet."
He offered it with both hands.
The sachet is made of crimson purple Nine Cloud brocade, embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns that symbolize peace and prosperity, with ice blue tassels hanging from the bottom, and the blue tassels are fine and fluffy, beautiful and exquisite.
This was embroidered by my mother herself. It contains medicinal herbs that can calm the mind and must not be exposed to water.
But the tassels are a little messy.
It must have been messed up when it rolled in the flower bed last night...
Chu Li grabbed a handful of hair randomly.
When I saw this thing, I remembered what happened last night and felt upset, but I couldn't throw away the sachet that my mother had embroidered with her own hands.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Put it under my pillow. If mother asks, just say it's on top of the pillow."
