"ah!"
Wen Ya fell to the ground, trembling with pain, with nowhere to hide.
Aunt Mei cried so hard but didn't dare to go forward rashly.
All I could hear was the crisp and sharp sound of the whip, which was hit again and again, breaking several cuts on the delicate skin and causing excruciating pain.
Wen Ya thought: The Seventh Prince must like her, otherwise, with so many noble ladies in the capital, why would he contact her instead of others?
If you like someone, you should believe in him firmly.
But it really hurts!
She was about to faint from the pain.
"Ninth brother...what are you doing...Second Miss Wen?"
When she was in so much pain that her consciousness was blurred, she heard a gentle voice. The pain in her body finally stopped, and she saw a noble figure walking towards her.
"What's wrong with this? If you keep beating him like this, won't he be killed?"
The man's voice was gentle and he protected her.
It was like a trickle of warm current, soothing the pain in my body.
It was like a gentle ray of sunshine, shining into the darkness.
She stared at him with her eyes wide open, lost in thought for a long time.
"Eighth brother, why are you here?" Chu Li put down the teacup, stood up and walked over.
Chu Aotian said: "I asked Gou Ba and learned that you had left the palace, so I came here specifically to look for you, but this is..."
He looked at Wen Ya in confusion.
Chu Aotian didn't know what happened last night. He just felt that Wen Ya was covered in blood, a weak woman, and was being whipped. She looked really pitiful.
"Eighth, Eighth Prince..."
Wen Ya's eyes turned red with pain and she grabbed the corner of his clothes with difficulty.
The Eighth Prince actually protected her.
The sudden warmth made her realize:
Last time, the Ninth Prince injured his eyes, and she was punished by his wife to kneel for five hours. The Seventh Prince just ignored it and did not care.
This time, she was punished, and the Seventh Prince was unaware of it.
She is so stupid.
The Seventh Prince never cared about her, but she actually believed in him.
It turned out that the Eighth Prince was the one who really protected her.
The Eighth Prince is the one who truly likes her.
Chu Aotian quickly helped her up and was a little scared when he felt the blood on his hands.
Could he have beaten someone to death?
"Ninth brother, what happened? How about we stop beating him? The punishments in the palace are not this bloody."
Wen Ya was touched.
The Eighth Prince treats her so well!
She cried, "Cousin, Wen Ya knows she was wrong. The Seventh Prince did write me a secret letter and put it under my pillow. I was confused for a moment and trusted the wrong person..."
Wen Zhixi immediately waved her hand and called two maids over, "Go find it."
Chu Aotian: "What letter did the Seventh Brother write?"
Chu Li said: "Nothing, just taking care of some household chores."
Mrs. Wen San gave the nanny a wink.
Wen Ya was covered in blood, how could she let the Eighth Prince hold her? How could she dirty the Eighth Prince's robes?
Two maids came forward and helped Wen Ya to the side, but Wen Ya's eyes were still fixed on the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince's biological mother is Concubine Xin. Although her mother's family has no power and she is a commander without troops, and there are so many princes above her to put pressure on her, as long as she marries him and has the support of the Wen family, the Eighth Prince's future will definitely not be bad.
Moreover, the Eighth Prince was so good to her, he must have her in his heart.
She made her decision.
From now on, even if the Seventh Prince came to beg her, she would never look at him again!
Soon, the two maids came back and brought a secret letter to Chu Li. Chu Li took a quick look and found that it was indeed Chu Jinglin's handwriting.
Chu Aotian scratched his head:
"Ninth brother, what on earth are you talking about?"
Chu Li put away the evidence and said, "I'm just looking for something, what else can I do? Let's go, it's a rare trip out of the palace, let's go to West Street for a walk?"
"OK."
The two of them left, and the rest of the matter was left to Madam Wen San to handle.
West Street was filled with all kinds of goods. Chu Aotian was having fun, but he still remembered the business and said:
"The Regent is looking for you."
After being fooled last time, Chu Aotian learned his lesson this time:
"He said he was injured while trying to save you, but I don't believe it. He's such a powerful man who has fought so many battles, how could he be injured so easily? Even if he was injured, it was intentional."
Chu Li was stunned when he heard this.
My thoughts opened up immediately...
Why didn't she think of that?
His martial arts skills are so strong that he is hard to beat, and those bullies last night were not well-trained killers.
If even ordinary bullies could hurt him, the emperor wouldn't have to worry every day about how to get rid of him.
"Don't mention him, let's just play our game."
"good."
Chu Aotian ran to a small stall and picked up a cracked tortoise shell with bright eyes. Judging from the patterns and patterns on it, it must be quite old.
The boss said that this was a burial object from the tomb of a king five hundred years ago. It was called the Zhantianjia, and it could be used for divination and predicting the future.
The asking price is three hundred taels.
He took out the silver without thinking.
"Eighth Brother is too gullible?" Chu Li tried to stop him.
As a prince, his monthly salary was only eighty taels. Wasn't it too crazy for him to spend four months' salary to buy a broken tortoise shell?
Chu Aotian looked serious:
"Ninth brother, you don't know that this thing can be used for divination. It is an object blessed by God. It is priceless. I will make a profit if I buy it."
“Is this thing edible?”
"How can the value of something be measured by eating it? Wait, I'll tell you a fortune."
According to the boss's teaching method, Chu Aotian covered the tortoise shell, muttered something, and then threw it to the ground. He carefully pondered for a few breaths based on the direction and front and back of the tortoise shell falling to the ground, as well as the patterns on it.
Suddenly he said, "Not good!"
"Ninth brother, you are about to be in great trouble!"
"?"
It's an unlucky thing. She wouldn't even want this broken tortoise shell even if I gave it to her for free.
Throw it on the ground and crush it with your foot.
As a result, more than an hour later, Chu Li received news that Major General Qin was called to the Regent's Palace.
Her heart sank.
What does he want to see Qin Muyu for?
The two people who had nothing to do with each other in normal times could not possibly have anything to do with each other. Qin Muyu had never been to the Regent's Palace before.
This is the first time.
She felt uneasy, so she left Chu Aotian and went to find Qin Muxue to confirm it, and it turned out to be true.
But as for what to do, Qin Muxue didn't know.
Chu Li was very worried and uneasy. After much thought, he decided to squat at the door of the Regent's Palace to prevent any accidents.
He hadn't been squatting for half a quarter of an hour when he was caught by Jingying.
After entering the mansion, I only heard the man instructing the servants: "...clean it up."
Chu Li hurried his pace and ran through the corridor into the courtyard.
"Where's Qin Muyu?"
In the pleasant pavilion, Chu Dichi raised his fingertips, dismissed Chong Feng, and looked sideways, "Are you here to look for someone?"
"Didn't you ask him to come to the Regent's Palace? Why don't I see him?"
Who was the person he wanted to deal with just now?
Looking at Chu Li's alert expression, Chu Dichi said coldly: "It seems that you are used to speculating the most maliciously about me."
"Where is he then?"
"You're so worried, is he your lover?"
Chu Li replied coldly: "Why do you ask when you already know the answer?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the air stiffen, the man's aura suddenly became heavier, and his pair of dark eyes became dark and scary.
