She stretched out her hands and reached forward.
Chu Jinglin cleared his throat and then spoke: "Ninth brother, so you are really here."
He came over, held Chu Li's hand, and said:
"I wanted to visit you at the Wen Mansion today, but the servants said you were out, so I searched all the way here and found you here."
Chu Li suddenly realized:
"I didn't expect that Seventh Brother was so quick. I just arrived at Yang's Mansion and you found me right after."
"Yes, my carriage runs fast."
Chu Jinglin calmly replied, "You are injured, and your father is very worried. It has been three or four days. I guess... your eyes will recover soon, right?"
Chu Li shook his head in some distress:
"I accidentally got infected a few days ago, and I haven't recovered yet. I can't see anything."
oh.
That's good.
Chu Jinglin breathed a sigh of relief. "Since you are outside, I will take you back to the palace so that my father can see you and he won't have to worry about you every day."
"Minister Yang, Madam Yang, thank you for your care. I will take my ninth brother back to the palace first."
Minister Yang bowed and saw him off.
After everyone had left, Minister Yang dismissed the servants. His face suddenly became gloomy. He grabbed Yang An's wrist and dragged her into the house.
"Come in now!"
“Husband… ah!”
After a loud slap, Yang An fell to the ground, tightly protecting the child in her arms.
Minister Yang grabbed her hair and said, "You bitch, you can cause trouble just by going out to get some medicine, and you bring all kinds of people home! Fortunately, the Ninth Prince is blind and can't see, otherwise, you would have killed me!"
If the emperor knew about the secret dealings between the court officials and the prince, his future would be in jeopardy.
"You are tired of living like a slut. You dare to bring a man home. Didn't I satisfy you at night? That's why you are so horny!"
Yang An was in great pain and hugged the child tightly.
"My dear, the Ninth Prince saved Qi'er. I am grateful to him, so I invited him to the mansion for a cup of tea. I didn't know the Seventh Prince was here..."
"How dare you talk back!"
"ah!"
"Wow!" The child started crying loudly in fear.
"Qi'er, don't cry, Qi'er..."
"You made a mistake and you still don't repent, I'll beat you to death!"
"Ah! Husband... please, for Qi'er's sake... Ah! Don't do this in front of the child..."
"I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!"
-
Left Yang’s house.
Chu Jinglin sent everyone away, leaving only the coachman. When he helped Chu Li onto the carriage, he gave the driver a wink.
The carriage started moving.
However, it was not towards the palace, but towards a remote location...
Chu Li sat in the car and asked, "Seventh Brother, this road is so quiet, it seems like there is no one around?"
Chu Jinglin looked gloomy.
He stared at Chu Li's face, worried that Chu Li would tell others about his relationship with Minister Yang...
However, he originally disliked Chu Li.
Now is a great time.
"This road is very quiet. I asked the driver to take a detour because I was afraid of the congestion in the city." As he spoke, he slowly pulled out the dagger from his sleeve.
Chu Li, don't blame me!
You are asking for death!
He held the dagger and put it across Chu Li's neck. Chu Li said, "Fortunately, my seventh brother came to pick me up. I haven't seen my father for a few days. I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, when I made a mistake and was punished by my father, it was my seventh brother who secretly took me away."
Chu Jinglin was stunned.
When I was a kid...
How many years ago was that?
He can't remember it clearly.
When they were young, the brothers studied and played together without any worries. But as they grew up, they came into contact with power, each of them had their own thoughts, and gaps between them arose. They began to guard against each other, fighting openly and secretly, and could never return to the innocence of their childhood.
He had already forgotten the things from his childhood, but he didn't expect that Chu Li could still remember them.
Chu Li smiled and said, "I have been weak since I was young, so my brothers gave in to me, including my seventh brother."
"Let's go and pay our respects to our father later. I was planning to return to the palace today. This morning, I sent someone to the palace to report back."
Chu Jinglin paused:
"Did you send anyone into the palace this morning?"
"Yes, Father knows that I will be going back today."
Chu Jinglin tightened his grip on the dagger.
If he takes action again when his father knows about it, wouldn’t he be announcing to everyone: I was the one who killed the Ninth Prince?
After a moment's silence, he sighed:
"Okay, fine."
For the sake of our youthful friendship, I will spare Chu Li this time.
This is just the first time. It won't happen again.
He asked again with concern: "Ninth brother, can you really not see anything?"
Chu Li touched the corner of his eye and said, "Is there anyone in the world who is willing to be blind?"
Too.
Just out of sight.
Chu Jinglin then closed the dagger, put it back into his sleeve, and tapped the wall of the carriage three times with his bent fingertips. The coachman received the hint, turned around, and drove towards the palace.
About quarter of an hour later.
Arrival at the Palace.
The two of them went together to pay their respects to the Emperor of Chu. The Emperor of Chu said many caring words and gave a lot of medicine, and so did Concubine Wen.
Chu Jinglin accompanied Chu Li all the way back to Zhaolan Palace before leaving.
Chu Li looked at his back as he left, the smile on his lips deepening.
If you want to kill her, it means you are guilty.
When you feel weak, you have a weakness that can be exploited by others...
Seventh brother, are you afraid too?
Gou Ba supported her and said, "Master, why are you standing here all the time? I will help you go into the house and have a good rest."
"Ninth Prince, stop."
Outside the palace, Aunt Changpei beside the queen came over with a smile, "The queen has always been concerned about the ninth prince's injury, and has been chanting sutras to pray for the ninth prince these days."
After hearing this, Chu Li naturally understood what she meant.
"Mother, you are so kind. I was planning to go visit you."
Aunt Chang Pei smiled and said, "What a coincidence, the Queen is also thinking about you, Ninth Prince, please."
Fengyi Palace.
Gou Ba helped Chu Li in, stepping carefully. Just as she was about to salute, the queen stopped her.
"Chang Pei, help the Ninth Prince sit down quickly. This child has been injured so badly that he has lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, his eyes can be treated. If he really goes blind..."
The Queen's tone was choked with sadness and she looked very distressed.
Chu Li held the armrest of the chair, looking ahead with his eyes covered by a veil, "Thank you for your concern, mother. The imperial physician is very skilled. In a few days, my son's eyes will be healed."
"That's good."
The Queen asked a lot of questions.
Suddenly he asked, "I heard that it was the Regent who saved you during the fire?"
Chu Li was very thoughtful and answered in a comprehensive manner:
"That day, I was choked by the thick smoke and passed out, so I didn't see the Regent."
In fact, she didn't see it.
However, she heard people outside talking about it these days, saying that the Regent was also there, but she didn't have any feelings for him.
"Although I didn't see it, but since everyone says so, it must have been the Regent who saved him," the Queen said firmly.
"Your uncle is a cold person and difficult to get along with, but he is willing to sacrifice himself to save you. I think he is very good to you."
Chu Li's face looked normal, and his voice was steady:
"I am just a little young and naughty. Father and my brothers always take good care of me. I believe my uncle is the same."
The implication is that the Regent has nothing special to say about her.
It's simply because she is young and a junior.
The Queen smiled generously and said:
"Yes, the Ninth Prince is indeed easy to get along with. He can get along with anyone. I like you. No wonder the Regent likes you too."
"Since he saved you, the royal family cannot turn a blind eye. I have a jar of fine wine from a neighboring country here. I just opened it today. I would like to give a jug to the regent. You can give it to him to drink in person to show your gratitude. How do you do?"
