After enduring a whole night, Chu Li was finally able to take a bath.
Soak in water and rub the skin on your body vigorously with soap nuts, every inch and every part, wishing to rub off all the skin.
Rub it until it turns red.
All smells are washed away.
I took a breath and immersed myself in the water. When I came out of the water, I was startled. There was a person standing outside the dim projection of the screen.
Immediately lower your body to hide the beauty on your chest.
"Who's outside?"
"I am here to serve Your Highness."
The woman's voice was soft and charming. She was the one given by the Regent - Nuan Yu.
Chu Li frowned.
This person is the Regent's spy, and there is no reasonable reason to drive him out. Under his nose every day, her words and actions become restrained.
Very inconvenient.
How can I allow others to stare at my own palace?
Chu Li's eyes turned, and he shouted:
"How dare you peek at this prince bathing!"
"Come here, drag this daring woman to the Ministry of Punishment and give her twenty lashes of the cane!"
Nuanyu was confused: "What?"
Hit her?
What did she do wrong?
If a woman is seen, her reputation is as important as her life, so she should be severely punished.
But the Ninth Prince is a grown man, he should have three wives and four concubines, and a group of women. She deliberately came to the Ninth Prince in a veil when he was bathing, showing her seductive figure, intending to seduce him. Why was she accused of "peeking"?
Isn’t this fun?
She is really wronged!
After twenty strokes of the cane, Nuan Yu was lying on the bed, unable to move, just like Chu Li was before.
At the same time, many rumors spread inside and outside the palace:
"Have you heard? The regent offered a beauty to the Ninth Prince, but was beaten by the Ninth Prince so hard that he couldn't get out of bed."
"With a beautiful woman in his arms, the Ninth Prince didn't move at all, and even used such a cruel method. Could it be that 'he' is... not capable?"
"Could it be that there is a hidden illness..."
"What? The Ninth Prince is impotent?!"
The doors of Zhaolan Palace were tightly closed, and Chu Li had no idea what was going on outside. However, since Nuan Yu was not under his nose, he had a few days of peace and quiet, and his injuries had healed a lot.
This day.
Chu Li was reading a storybook titled "The Miraculous Doctor's Beloved Wife Gave Birth to Twin Babies, and the Overbearing Prince Loves Her Deeply" with great interest when Eunuch Fu, who was beside the Emperor, came to deliver a message.
The tall palace door was still closed, with a small window on it connecting the inside and the outside.
Eunuch Fu's wrinkled, yet still feminine and fair face peeked in from the small window.
Like a prison visit.
"Oh, Ninth Prince, you have sealed the door of your palace so tightly, it's to prevent thieves!"
Chu Li was basking in the sun and reading a storybook in the courtyard.
"Eunuch Fu, what's the matter?"
"The Emperor asked you to go to the Imperial Study, saying he wanted to reward you."
"ah?"
Has she accomplished anything?
Chu Li opened his mouth hesitantly: "I don't want a reward."
In the past few days, she stayed in the palace and did not go out, thus avoiding a lot of trouble and not meeting the regent.
She doesn't want to go out.
She knew that someone had used her to target the Regent and frame her for what happened that night at the celebration banquet, but in order to conceal the gender of the victim, she did not want to investigate, nor would she argue with her royal brothers.
She just hid.
If you can endure for another two or three years, when you turn eighteen, you can leave the palace and set up your own house, and then you can live a free and easy life.
Eunuch Fu was so anxious that he pinched his fingers and said, "My dear little ancestor! You are the first one who dares to refuse the emperor's reward."
"Tell my father that I will donate the reward to the national treasury."
"But the Emperor wants to reward you with gold."
Chu Lili looked up quickly.
etc!
The State of Chu is a great country with a rich treasury. How could it be short of her little gold?
"I'll put on some clothes and come right away!"
She was not interested in vases, paintings, antiques, etc., but she would be interested if she was rewarded with gold.
Who can resist shiny gold?
The prerequisite for being a salted fish is to have enough food and clothing.
Only if you have accumulated enough money can you live a happy and carefree life in the second half of your life.
Imperial study.
Chu Li, who had not left the palace for six days, bravely broke into the imperial study for the sake of gold.
"Your son pays respects to the Emperor!"
Chu Li knelt straight on the ground, but his eyes were on the table, the desk and the stand, searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the gold.
The King of Chu personally helped her up and patted her shoulder solemnly:
"Xiao Jiu, you are my favorite!"
"?"
Chu Li's heart skipped a beat.
Whenever her father said this, she would have ominous thoughts...
really.
The King of Chu said, "Since the Regent King returned to the capital, he has been acting arrogantly and doing what he wants. No one dared to remonstrate with him. Only Xiaojiu was not afraid of power and beat up the beauty that he personally gave to me, which made me feel relieved."
"I took this opportunity to punish the regent for giving away beauties and seducing the prince. From now on, he will definitely be quiet for a while."
Chu Li's eyes went dark and he could hardly tell which way was which.
Originally, Nuanyu was caned because the Regent caned her, and she was just fighting back to vent her anger.
But the emperor punished the regent and used her as a cover. Doesn't that mean she has offended the regent?
You can sit at home and something bad may happen to you.
The King of Chu was very happy and satisfied with his young son.
"Xiaojiu, although you are not good at literature or martial arts, and you are not as knowledgeable about government affairs and brave as your brothers, and you are timid, eat a lot, and are short, but you are my favorite son."
Chu Li: “…”
Is this a compliment to her?
She received a small gold bar as a reward. Just after the night had passed, before the small gold bar had even warmed up, she received the news that the Regent had entered the palace and was heading straight for her Zhaolan Palace.
Oh my God!
Could it be that the Regent thought that she had joined forces with his father to deal with him?
She had no such intention.
Heaven is our mirror.
"Master, the Regent will be here soon. Should we open the palace door?" Gou Ba asked.
Not open!
The Regent is here to cause trouble, how can she have a good ending?
But if he broke in by force, wouldn't he catch her red-handed?
Chu Li put away the small gold bar and immediately said, "Close the palace door and hold it for as long as possible. I will go to the Queen Mother's Palace to avoid the limelight first."
After saying that, he immediately climbed over the wall.
"Master, you have just recovered from your injuries, be careful not to fall..."
"Go to the front hall and guard it. Don't worry about me!"
"yes."
Chu Li stepped on the stones and the wall. With his martial arts skills, he easily climbed up the three-meter-high wall.
"Why are you climbing the wall?"
who?
Chu Li turned her head and saw the Regent standing at the foot of the wall, looking up at her. His sudden posture was like a ghost, and she was so scared that she slipped and fell on her back.
"ah!"
I'm afraid it's all over now.
My butt, which had just recovered, fell from the wall and I’m afraid I’ll have to lie in bed again and won’t be able to get up for ten days or half a month.
He really is her worst enemy!
Chu Li closed his eyes, sighed heavily, and was about to accept his fate, but his body sank violently and was caught by a pair of strong arms.
hold head high?
When she opened her eyes, she saw herself in the arms of the Regent, being carried like a princess, and she hugged his neck out of instinct.
She raised her head slightly, her figure was petite.
He lowered his head, and the two strands of black hair that drooped down fluttered slightly, making his brows look even more cold and flamboyant.
In the early autumn day, the wind was blowing gently, the fragrance of osmanthus wafting from the branches was intoxicating, and a few golden flowers fell on the man's shoulders.
At this moment, the two of them were so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.
Quiet and picturesque.
