Chen Ping spoke in a low voice, and cautious concern could be heard in his tone.
Li Chaoyun suddenly felt a little aggrieved, and scenes from his past with Shen Zhao emerged in his mind.
"He humiliated me in every way for another woman. Even after that woman died, he still couldn't forget her."
She choked out these words, her eyes sore and unbearable. But she still raised her head and held back her tears.
It was only when Chen Ping asked her that she spoke out impulsively. If it were someone else, she wouldn't have said this.
She and Chen Ping grew up together. Chen Ping was much older than her and often took her out to play when they were young. In her heart, Chen Ping was the same as her own brother.
When Chen Ping heard her say this, his expression suddenly changed, "How dare he do this to you."
Seeing Li Chaoyun's tears, Chen Ping put his arm around her shoulders and gently stroked her to comfort her.
"Don't be sad, it's not worth it for such a man. I will stay in the capital from now on, and I will help you with whatever you want to do."
Even if it meant killing that bastard, he could do it as long as she said it.
Li Chaoyun had been suppressing her grievances, and after being comforted by Chen Ping, she could no longer control herself. She turned around, threw herself into Chen Ping's arms, and started crying.
It was not only because of Chen Zhao, but also because of his brother's death. He also thought of the current situation of the Li family, the situation of his mother and father.
These days, she spent the whole night thinking about these things. She wished that Shen Zhao could shoulder all these and tell her that she still had him to rely on.
But Chen Zhao wouldn't do that. Not only did he not have the ability, but his heart was not with her either.
Li Chaoyun cried sadly, and Chen Ping's heart was twitching with pain.
He didn't know how to comfort her. This little girl, whom he had watched grow up, had never suffered such injustice before.
He could only hug her tightly and whispered comfortingly, "Cry if you want to. When you're done crying, tell me who has offended you. I will avenge you."
They were originally standing by the small couch, but Chen Ping coaxed her into the inner room. Chen Ping sat by the bed, with Li Chaoyun sitting on his lap.
Later, Chen Ping wiped the tears from her face, and because he felt sorry for her, he gently kissed the tears at the corners of her eyes.
Li Chaoyun's heart beat fast, and she tilted her head slightly, and Chen Ping's kiss fell on the side of her cheek.
The salty and bitter taste in the mouth makes people lose their mind instantly.
He kissed Li Chaoyun's fair skin inch by inch. Without doing anything, Li Chaoyun had already fallen under his gentle caress.
The noise inside the house made Danju, who was guarding the door, feel a pang in his heart.
Li Chaoyun met Chen Ping secretly today. He was afraid that someone in Wangyue Tower had defected to Li Yunzhou, so he only left Danju to guard the main house.
Danju was very grateful that everyone in the yard had been sent away.
As long as the fourth young master doesn't come here suddenly, no one will discover him.
Danju sighed. She knew how much the princess was suffering. But it was too risky to do this with General Chen. What would happen if the Shen family found out?
But things are often like this, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come.
When Danju was daydreaming, she saw Shen Zhao walking towards her from a distance.
They were not far from the main house, but since no one was guarding it, no one informed them.
Danju was so frightened that her heart was in her throat. She shouted loudly: "Princess, the eldest young master is here."
This sentence also successfully interrupted Li Chaoyun's crying and begging for mercy in the house.
At this moment, Chen Ping was lying on the bed behind the curtain in the main room, his whole body soaked with sweat.
Li Chaoyun lay in his arms, his mind blank.
Just now, Chen Ping did nothing but serve her. This was a feeling she had never had when she was with Chen Zhao.
Chen Ping...everything comes first for her.
Shen Zhao was here, and she should get up and go out. But all the bones in her body seemed to be soft and she couldn't move at all.
Chen Ping reached out and stroked her hair. "Don't want to get up? Then let him come in and talk. You are a princess, so what if you have someone to serve you? What else can he say?"
Chen Ping's tone was frivolous, but his eyes were a little cold. When he thought about the woman he loved being that man's wife, and that they had once... his heart couldn't help but feel restless.
Li Chaoyun shook his head, "No, we can't let him know yet."
At this moment, the sound of Danju bowing to Shen Zhao could be heard outside.
Li Chaoyun got up from the bed, picked up the pajamas beside him and put them on.
Chen Ping looked out the door, a cold glint in his eyes. Sooner or later, he would personally put an end to that man.
After hearing Danju say that the princess had just woken up and came out immediately, Chen Zhao did not go into the inner room.
It had been a long time since he had entered Li Chaoyun's inner room.
Seeing Li Chaoyun reminded him of the deceased Jiang Chenyue. If it weren't for the importance of the matter, he wouldn't have come here today.
Chen Zhao stood beside the small couch in the banquet room with his hands behind his back. Seeing two cups of tea on the table, he was a little surprised, but he didn't take it to heart.
A moment later, Li Chaoyun walked out from the inner room.
Shen Zhao looked over when he heard the voice and was slightly stunned.
Li Chaoyun's hair was loose, with only a carved gold hairpin inserted. Her nightgown was tied casually, and the open neckline revealed her fair skin.
The expression between her eyebrows is charming and attractive, and her pair of phoenix eyes are sparkling and beautiful.
Shen Zhao inexplicably thought of a word: charming.
At this moment, Li Chaoyun was like a gorgeous blooming flower. He had never seen her like this before.
Compared to this moment, Li Chaoyun, who had married into the Shen family before, was more like... a flower that was about to wither due to lack of water.
He suddenly felt guilty. They used to be very loving, so how did it come to this?
To be fair, Li Chaoyun is not entirely to blame for Jiang Chenyue's problems, he is also responsible.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhao's expression relaxed a lot.
He smiled and said, "You seem to be feeling much better today. When you return home, I'll have someone make you some nourishing food."
As he spoke, Shen Zhao stepped forward and tried to help Li Chaoyun sit down.
But Li Chaoyun dodged him, "Young Master, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
After Li Chaoyun sat down, he picked up the teacup on the table and took two sips.
Halfway through drinking, I realized it was Chen Ping's cup of tea.
Thinking of the scene just now, a smile appeared on Li Chaoyun's face.
Seeing her bright smile, Shen Zhao thought she was happy because he had come.
He softly told her what happened today, and then said, "Madam, you remember everything I said before, so when you got the news, you immediately had the things taken away."
"But this isn't a good idea after all. I should ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about finding a safe place for this thing."
Li Chaoyun thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. I'll go to the palace later and ask my cousin the Crown Prince what his plans are."
The Cheng Wang faction, led by Concubine Rong, kept a close eye on the Crown Prince all day long. Therefore, the Crown Prince was extremely cautious about these things that could either help him ascend to power or kill him.
Seeing Li Chaoyun stand up, Shen Zhao also moved closer and tried to hug her.
"I'll accompany you to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then we'll go home together."
As he said this, he put his hand on Li Chaoyun's waist and tried to kiss her eyebrows.
Li Chaoyun dodged in disgust and said impatiently.
"We have finished talking, Master, please go back first. I will change my clothes and prepare to go to the palace. Business is more important."
