Chu Li was filled with anger.
It's all his fault!
He did it on purpose.
"Is it fun?" She sneered, and the anger in her eyes was real.
The corners of the man's lips slightly curled up, and he stopped teasing her.
He said, "What I did was what I did, but what General Qin did revealed his true nature. I cannot control his behavior, Xiaojiu, you have to make this clear."
Chu Li was stunned.
The cold voice was like jade rolling on a jade plate, and the words were like a sharp blade, piercing through her anger and cognition.
She suddenly seemed to wake up.
What he said seems to make sense...
Could it be that she overestimated her friendship with Qin Muyu?
Chu Dichi crossed his arms over his chest and leaned lazily against the door frame. "I told you long ago that you trust him too much. Why don't you trust me for once? I will give you a way out."
Chu Li sneered:
"So the solution that the Emperor's uncle wants is to play tricks on me?"
He deliberately instigated her and Qin Muyu to alienate them. How good could his intentions be?
Don't trust men too much.
Isn't he a man?
"How about I support you to ascend the throne?"
The words were spoken lightly and casually, as easy as eating and drinking, but it made Chu Li's expression change slightly, and he looked around subconsciously.
He dared to say such words.
Perhaps, he had long harbored rebellious intentions, but just lacked a legitimate reason.
Coincidentally, among all the princes, she is the easiest to control.
He approached her only to control her and make her a puppet in his hands.
He wants to be in power.
Chu Dichi looked at her changing expression without hesitation, "Only by ascending the throne can your identity be made public."
Otherwise, you will be guilty of deceiving the emperor and will be sentenced to death.
It may also involve close relatives and friends around you.
Chu Li gave him a cold look: "I am not interested in the throne!"
Nor will it be of any use to him.
Just give up on this idea.
After saying that, he turned around and left, chasing in the direction Qin Muyu left. He ran for a full quarter of an hour before he caught up with the distraught figure.
"Muyu!"
The boy's back stiffened, and he ran away in panic like a frightened bird.
Chu Li chased after him, but saw something falling to the ground from his sleeve.
Bang!
The sound is crisp.
She ran over, bent down and picked it up.
It was a warm crescent-colored jade slip, engraved with the patterns of a gentleman as light as bamboo, and a small traditional Chinese character engraved in the middle.
It's his name.
Isn't this the jade slip that she personally gave to him on his birthday three years ago?
It wasn't something he carried with him, and besides, he still carried it with him after three years?
In my mind, I couldn't help but recall what Qin Muxue once said:
"My brother is practicing swordplay in the yard!"
"He has a jade slip on him, which was given to him by his beloved. He won't even let me touch it. He is so stingy."
"It's just a jade slip, but he hides it like a treasure."
Chu Li suddenly realized something and looked in a daze at the street corner where he disappeared. A helpless and sour feeling rose up to his throat and he swallowed it with difficulty.
There's no going back to the past.
In front of him, she was probably just embarrassed.
She is no longer the same person she used to be.
Chu Li put down his hands dejectedly and walked on the street in a daze, looking at the pedestrians passing by, his eyes full of confusion.
As I walked, I finally arrived in front of a quiet and elegant courtyard house.
——Qingfengju.
It is the residence of the fifth prince.
Chu Li went over and knocked on the door. Soon, a servant opened the door and stuck his head out.
"Ninth Prince?"
He was surprised at first, then quickly saluted.
"Is Fifth Brother here?"
"Yes, I am. Please come in." The servant respectfully led her into Qingfengju.
The courtyard house is not big, but it is quiet and there are only a few servants serving. The scenery in the house is pleasant. When entering the small garden, you can see a gentle blue figure sitting under a not-so-big phoenix tree, making tea.
"Master, the Ninth Prince is here to see you."
As soon as the servant finished his report, Chu Li suddenly realized that he had nothing in his hands.
Came to visit, but didn't even bring any gifts, this...
Just when she was feeling embarrassed, Chu Yeli looked up at her, his clear eyes as gentle as moonlight:
"Why did Xiaojiu come here today?"
"Come, come and sit down."
He was sitting in a wheelchair and was unable to get up due to his limited mobility.
Chu Li quickly stepped inside, "How is Fifth Brother doing these days?"
Chu Yeli smiled gently: "It's not good or bad to stay in this square house every day. I've been used to it for more than ten years."
It was this habit that kept him away from power struggles and disputes even though he was a prince.
The tea aroma is lingering.
When Chu Li smelled it, he actually felt a little relieved and peaceful.
"What a nice tea."
Chu Yeli picked up a small teacup with bamboo tweezers, rolled it with tea, and then poured a cup and placed it in front of her.
"Let me try the new Zhoushan Misty Rain I got a few days ago."
Chu Li picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Fifth Brother never goes out, so where did you get the new tea?"
The servant next to him changed his expression slightly.
Chu Yeli smiled as usual:
"When I have nothing to do, I like to study poetry, tea, calligraphy and painting. I have made a few friends, and this tea was given to me by them."
Chu Li took a deep breath of the tea fragrance, and the haze lingering in his heart seemed to be dispelled a little, and he felt much calmer.
"Looking at Xiaojiu's expression, is there something troubling you?"
"I……"
She couldn't share with anyone what was in her heart.
It reminded her of something important.
"Fifth brother, last time I sent you a sachet on behalf of my cousin to express my gratitude. What do you think?"
Chu Yeli fiddled with the tea set slowly and leisurely, "It seems that Xiaojiu is worried about his relationship."
"Xiaojiu is still young, could it be that he has a crush on a girl and wants to get married?"
Chu Li immediately waved his hands:
"Not me. I'm asking on behalf of my cousin."
He smiled without commenting: "I can see that you are worried and concerned. You haven't even resolved your own troubles yet, so why are you worrying about others?"
Chu Li bit the rim of the cup.
The fifth brother's vision is really sharp.
Thinking of Qin Muyu's leaving figure...
Fortunately he left.
If he really stopped, looked at her, and asked her, when the ugly truth was revealed, she might be like a embarrassed mouse, with nowhere to hide.
How should she face him?
Later, when the truth was revealed, she could imagine the looks her mother, eighth brother, aunts and uncles, Wen Zhixi, and Qin Muxue gave her.
Shock, contempt, gossip, or disappointment.
Just thinking about it makes me feel depressed and uncomfortable.
She has to leave.
Only in this way can we get out of this situation safely without affecting anyone else.
She has to find a suitable opportunity to get out of this muddy water!
