Return to the city.
The bustling and noisy night was not ruined by this episode. Many people were still celebrating the festival and had no idea what had happened. However, the soldiers on duty guarding the city were in a panic.
"Brother Zhang, what should we do? I didn't know he was the Ninth Prince. When he revealed his identity, I thought he was joking until Governor Xiao and the Regent arrived..."
The soldier on night duty was frightened to death.
"If anything happens to the Ninth Prince, I'm afraid I'll be dead without a burial place..."
"For someone like you, dying once is enough."
A cold voice came into the night.
Outside the city, a man walked against the light. His stern face seemed dark in the night, and the chill he exuded frightened the soldiers to their knees.
"Regent, calm down!"
"I have failed to recognize a great man. Please spare my life, Regent! Please spare my life!"
They all knelt on the ground, too frightened to raise their heads.
Chu Dichi glanced away coldly.
Chu Li struggled in his arms, "They have never seen me, don't embarrass them."
"It seems that the Ninth Prince not only cares about General Qin, but also these people. He is really a kind person."
Chu Li glared at him.
What nonsense is he talking about?
Do we have to kill all these soldiers?
Weird.
"Put me down, I have to go back to the palace!"
Chu Dichi glanced at Xiao Yexing, who nodded slightly: "You go back first, I will take care of the aftermath."
"I found out."
"I know."
Chu Dichi held Chu Li steadily in his arms and walked down a street with few people. Chu Li thought it was the direction back to the palace, but as they walked, they realized something was wrong.
Is this... the Coral Water Pavilion?
"Why are you here?"
Chu Di glanced at her hesitantly: "Do you think I want to carry you back to the palace in my arms? You are so arrogant."
Chu Li choked with shame and anger.
She had never had such an idea. Besides, it was he who insisted on holding her, not allowing her to get down, and even nagging her.
Enter the Coral Waterside Pavilion.
The private residence was exceptionally quiet at night, shadows moved in the wind, lanterns swayed gently, and the night was dim, but it was so peaceful that not even a servant could be seen.
Walking straight into Lantingxuan, Chu Dichi put her on the table.
She was about to jump down, but the man put his hands on both sides of the table and stopped her, "Where are you going?"
"I want to go back to the palace. Please, uncle, arrange two servants to take me back."
She sprained her ankle and had to take a sedan chair.
He added, "I'll pay you."
Chu Di said slowly, "There are no servants in the Coral Waterside Pavilion."
"How is that possible? For a mansion this big, even if there are no servants, there should be maids to clean, sweep, and cook. Please ask the emperor's uncle to send someone to take me back. If I don't come home at night, my mother will be worried."
"oh."
He said coldly: "Are you still breastfeeding? You are so old, but you still can't leave your mother?"
Besides, she spends her days eating, drinking and having fun, and never does her job. When has she ever been so well-behaved?
I don't want to be with him, and the excuses I make are lame enough.
He leaned over.
Chu Lili hurriedly supported his chest, "What are you doing?"
The man leaned over, stretched out his long arm, and pulled out the medicine box from the drawer. "There are no maids in Coral Waterside Pavilion. You are the first woman to come here."
It turned out to be the medicine box.
She thought...
Why are you holding the medicine box so close to her?
etc.
Is she the first woman to come?
Could it be that...
"Are you so poor that you can't even afford a maid?" Chu Li was surprised.
Military generals are generally poor. They use their salaries to buy weapons, medicines, and equipment, and also to win the hearts of their soldiers. The little salary they receive each month is simply not enough to spend.
The more we fight, the poorer we become.
Therefore, throughout history, countries have often adopted the method of peace and marriage to achieve fairness and common development between the two countries.
"I'll give you a box of small gold bars, and you'll stay away from me from now on, okay?"
Chu Dichi gave her a cold look and said, "It's rare for an emperor's son to be so smart. If he had more sons like you, he wouldn't have to worry about expanding his territory."
Bang——
The medicine box was thrown beside her.
He supported himself on her side with one hand, opened the wooden lid with one hand, rummaged through the bottles and jars of various medicines, and took out a fat round dark brown bottle.
He bit open the lid with his mouth, poured the yellowish-brown medicinal wine into the palm of his hand, picked up her foot and pressed it on her foot.
"Um……"
It’s cold and painful.
"I, I can do it myself."
"Can you reach it?"
Chu Li was surprised: "If I bend down, can't I reach my feet?"
"Hmm, that's clever."
He praised her, holding her slender calf, wrapping his palm around the entire sprained ankle, and gently massaging the medicinal wine into it, allowing it to soak into the skin.
"?" Chu Li bit her lower lip lightly.
She wasn't used to other people touching her feet... or maybe she wasn't used to him touching her feet.
The feet are generally the lowest part of the body.
She walked so much every day that she had thick calluses on her feet. Yet, a proud man like Chu Dichi was willing to touch her feet.
"How is your injury?"
Chu Di raised his eyebrows slowly, as if surprised: "Care about me?"
Chu Li said: "I just don't want to owe you anything. Even if I hate you, I won't take advantage of this kind of thing."
"oh."
Chu Li couldn't see his emotions from his calm reaction.
Soon, he prepared the medicinal wine.
The medicine took effect, my ankle felt warm, the pain was relieved a lot, and I felt better.
It seems that there are really no servants in the Coral Water Pavilion.
Just now, when I walked in, the huge mansion was as quiet as an empty place. I didn't even see a guard. Chu Li could only say:
"Shall I bandage you?"
He didn't say anything, so Chu Libendang agreed.
His injury is on his back.
Chu Li stretched out her hand hesitantly, untied his belt, and pulled open his outer robe. Due to the height difference, she had some difficulty, so she pressed her fingers lightly on his chest a few times, using the force to peel off his clothes.
"Are you trying to seduce me?"
Her fingertips trembled, "I am sorry for being nosy. I will go back to the palace now."
As soon as he raised his body, he was grabbed back by a palm.
"You've already taken off half of my clothes. Do you think I'm just a casual person?" He frowned in displeasure.
Chu Li's eyes widened and he almost heard something as hallucination.
How dare he say such a thing?
"Don't go back to the palace tonight." He had already made the decision for her.
"No, I want to go back!"
"You are not allowed to go back. If the emperor asks, just say you slept in the general's mansion tonight."
"I……"
"Either you stay, or I'll kill you and then let you go. After all, you took off the clothes yourself. You're already a grown-up, you should think about how to be responsible before you act."
After hearing this, Chu Li couldn't help but glare at him angrily:
"Uncle Royal is telling you that I wanted to bandage you, but that was just wishful thinking on my part. So what about you, uncle Royal? Before you did that to me, did you think about how you would take responsibility?"
He disrupted her original life trajectory and destroyed everything she had.
Her identity was already shameful to begin with, and now that he had the evidence against her, it became even more shameful.
When he was in the mood, he forced her to do it twice.
She lost interest, even if she kicked it aside, she didn't dare to complain, and she had to ask him to keep the secret and let her go.
After all, she was just an outlet for him to vent his hatred for the emperor.
Every day, she lived in fear.
Afraid of exposing my identity.
Afraid of implicating my mother.
Once she had a dream that her identity was exposed and the emperor ordered the execution of Concubine Wen. The sword was swung down and the head fell to the ground.
She was so scared.
Every time I see him, this fear and worry becomes deeper.
