Chapter 1827: Call and Send
Hearing him say that, she said softly, "I know you didn't mean it."
“…”
"I just wanted to help you."
Seeing her like this, Li Lai's eyes flashed a little coldly, but the words he said were gentle, "Well, if you come here like this, no one will notice, right?"
"Of course not."
"That's good. Come in and talk first."
"Why."
Chu Xin followed him into the room. As soon as the door was closed, Li Lai turned around and asked her, "The imperial concubine came to see you just now. Is there something wrong?"
Chu Xin said: "Yuan is fine, she just came to see me."
"oh……"
"However, I asked her why she said she was going to Bailong City to take care of her pregnancy, but she came back within two days."
Li Lai stared at her nervously and asked, "What did she say?"
Chu Xin said: "She told me that it's not as safe outside as in the Duwei Mansion."
"oh?"
"She said that she encountered the Sand Bandits driving wolves to attack them on the road. Fortunately, the Emperor brought people to rescue them, so a disaster was avoided."
"Is that so..."
Li Lai narrowed his eyes: "The Emperor actually thinks so highly of the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
"And he went to rescue her himself."
“…”
"So, after rescuing the imperial concubine, did they come back directly?"
"No,"
Chu Xin shook her head and said, "The Imperial Concubine said that they went to Bailong City after all."
"Since you've already gone, why come back?"
"From what she said, it seems that there is danger inside Bailong City."
"Is there danger inside Bailong City?"
"That's right. Although she didn't explain it clearly, from the way she spoke, it seemed like she also encountered the Sand Bandits in Bailong City."
"What?!"
Hearing this, Li Lai opened his eyes wide in astonishment: "There are also sand bandits in Bailong City? How is this possible?"
Chu Xin said: "That's what she said."
“…”
Li Lai frowned in disbelief.
Countless doubts have arisen in my mind.
How could there be bandits in Bailong City? The wealthy businessmen there have raised garrisons. Although the bandits can sometimes break into Bailong City, they only carry out brief looting and cannot stay for too long, let alone attack the imperial concubine under such circumstances.
He thought for a moment and said, "Tell me what the imperial concubine said."
Chu Xin thought about it for a moment and said, "I asked her what was going on in Bailong City, and she replied, 'Those sand bandits are really annoying, so I'd rather not talk about them.'"
Hearing this, Li Lai's brows furrowed even more tightly.
According to this, there are indeed sand bandits in Bailong City.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand."
“…”
"You go back."
His attitude suddenly turned cold again, as if he was calling Chu Xin and dismissing her at will. Chu Xin didn't care and only asked with concern, "Is this information useful to you?"
Li Lai just glanced at her and said, "Let me think about it."
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
After saying that, he stood up and groped his way out through the door.
Seeing her somewhat dejected look, Li Lai's eyes rolled and he continued, "Chu Xin, thank you for always being so kind to me. When this matter is resolved in the future, I will definitely give you an explanation and give you a warm home. I will never let you suffer again."
Hearing him say this, a smile flashed in Chu Xin's eyes.
