Restoration 4
Chu Weilan found Yuan Le very interesting.
He always acts very timid, but occasionally he can be extremely bold, such as lying to himself, or like now, pretending to be stupid.
Yuan Le secretly observed Chu Weilan's expression and felt that he didn't seem angry, so he dared to talk to him like this.
Yuan Le said, "Your Highness, I have no bad intentions... and neither do my parents. We just want to live."
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Le added, "This time too, I'm afraid he'll kill me."
The young palace maid was secretly looking at his expression while she said this. Although it was a very disrespectful act, it was quite innocent and lovely when done by a teenager of this age.
Chu Weilan was struck by his unconscious cuteness and felt a little helpless.
But this matter cannot be let go like this. A small punishment and a severe warning must be given to make Yuan Le remember this lesson for a long time.
"It's right to save your life, but you shouldn't lie to me. Tell me honestly what that person did. Don't hide it, otherwise you will be severely punished! You will also be sent to prison." Chu Weilan deliberately said it seriously, and saw the little palace maid tremble.
"Go ahead."
Yuan Le stumbled and spoke, "He, he first pressed me down and wouldn't let me get up, then I said my legs hurt, so he massaged my legs..."
He didn't dare say more.
But just this alone was enough to make Chu Weilan's face turn cold.
"Massage the legs? Let me see."
Fortunately, I didn't mention looking at other...
Yuan Le breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know that his little expression completely exposed his thoughts.
Chu Weilan felt a little funny in her heart. Did he think that if she wanted to do something to him, he could still refuse?
Yuan Le was lifting up his trouser legs. Just as he lifted them up a little, someone outside the door called out "Your Highness".
This is Chu Weilan's secret guard. Unless it is something urgent, he will not appear in front of Chu Weilan rashly.
Chu Weilan was silent for a while, then directly called the person in. The secret guard also understood that this was what the little palace maid meant to hear next.
"Your Highness, the assassin was shot by an arrow and fell into the moat. Do we need to salvage him?"
If they salvage the remains, it will cause a huge commotion, and the people in the city will certainly not be able to hide it. It will then cause panic among the people, and the war outside will probably be impossible to conceal.
Chu Weilan thought for a moment, then turned to look at Yuan Le, "What do you think, Le'er?"
Yuan Le pointed at himself, puzzled: Are you asking me?
You want me to make the decision on such a serious matter? Am I worthy of it?
Although he was a little confused, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had asked, he had to answer, "Snatch him, grab him, don't let him get away..."
The prince chuckled.
"Don't worry about it." He waved his hand and let the secret guard retreat.
Yuan Le widened his eyes - if you don’t accept my opinion, why are you asking me?
Chu Weilan just wanted to see Yuan Le's attitude towards the assassin.
In this case, there is nothing to test.
He patted Yuan Le's head and said, "Go and rest. Isn't it time for menstruation?"
Yuan Le, whose male identity had been exposed, blushed and stammered, "Okay."
Chu Weilan glanced at him again and said, "Le'er has her period, which means she's grown up and can sleep with me."
Yuan Le sat down on the ground with a thud, looking at Chu Weilan with blank and frightened eyes, "...Your Highness?"
Chu Weilan smiled and said, "Go to sleep."
Let him be mentally prepared.
The next day, Chu Weilan sent someone to give Yuan Le a set of fire-avoidance diagrams. This should have been given by the teaching nanny of Chuxiu Palace, but it was for the concubines to see. Yuan Le was a boy after all, with a different body structure, and the previous one was not suitable for him.
After Yuan Le got it, he flipped through two pages and for several days afterwards, he felt like he had lost his soul...
He finally realized that men could do such things with each other!
So His Highness is serious! Even if he's a boy, he needs to sleep with me?
Ever since learning this information, Yuan Le always felt a little embarrassed when he saw Chu Weilan, and his mood was no longer as carefree as before.
Fortunately, he didn't have many opportunities to see Chu Weilan. Chu Weilan was very busy and didn't stay in the East Palace very often. Yuan Le could only see him seven or eight times a month.
But Chu Weilan was very good to him. Every time she came back, she would bring him some strange and exotic things from outside the palace. He was born in Fucheng and had never seen some things from the north. He had even never seen snow.
The palace maids in the East Palace seemed to have already treated Yuan Le as a young lady and served her, and would also play with Yuan Le with the small items that Chu Weilan brought back.
Yuan Le felt that he was quite happy living like this, and this kind of stability was brought to him by Chu Weilan.
No need to worry about being discovered, and no need to deliberately not eat enough...
This was already much better than the life in the palace he had expected!
The only problem was, what if he wanted to go home in the future and the prince disagreed? If he became the prince's concubine, would he still be able to go home?
I'll ask the prince again when he returns to the palace next time.
Two days later, Chu Weilan came back and brought a kite and snacks to Yuan Le. After he ate the food, he happily went outside to fly the kite, completely forgetting his previous plan.
Chu Weilan was in the pavilion nearby, watching him play.
"Your Highness likes him very much?" The person accompanying Chu Weilan was his study partner. They had been friends for more than ten years, so they didn't have many reservations when talking to each other.
Chu Weilan smiled. "He's quite cute, isn't he? He's not cunning, and it's quite relaxing to be with him."
"That's right." The reading companion laughed.
He said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is a master strategist, so how could he fall in love with someone when the world is about to fall into chaos? Isn't this creating a weakness for himself?"
It seems that he just thinks it's interesting and wants to have some fun. Your Highness is already twenty-four years old this year and really needs someone to himself. With such a little thing by his side, His Majesty won't have to urge him, and Your Highness won't have to use his frailty as an excuse to postpone it. It's not a nice thing for a man to say that he can't do it all the time.
As the companion was thinking about this, he saw that the palace maid's kite not far away failed to take off and got stuck on a tree.
The 'girl' jumped around a few times, but couldn't reach the kite. Then she turned around and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the pavilion. Her bright cat eyes instantly brightened a little, and she ran towards them with a blushing face.
"Master..." Yuan Le called him.
Chu Weilan remained unmoved.
The 'girl' gritted her teeth and glanced at her study partner, preferring to rely on Chu Weilan. "Master, I can't get it."
Seeing that he could still recognize his master, Chu Weilan was finally willing to speak, "Then what do you do? I'm weak and can't climb such a high tree."
Yuan Le pointed at his companion rudely and said, "Just tell him to go!"
Chu Weilan smiled, "He's the son of the Shangshu, how could he condescend to do this for you?"
Yuan Le was dumbfounded.
But soon, he realized that Chu Weilan had many secret guards around him... but he didn't call anyone to help him.
Even if Yuan Le's brain was not very smart, he now understood that Chu Weilan treated him as a joke.
He suddenly became unhappy, pouted, turned his head away, and said angrily, "Then I'll get it myself!"
My companion saw that the 'girl' really started to lift her skirt and roll up her trouser legs, as if she was about to climb a tree. I couldn't help but twitch my lips, "Very lively..."
Chu Weilan laughed.
After a while, Yuan Le actually climbed up the first branch of the tree.
Just looking at his energetic appearance, Chu Weilan felt that her cold heart warmed up a little.
He really did like this child. It didn't matter whether he was a boy or a girl. He simply liked this soul, like a lonely traveler who had finally found the companion he wanted... As for how much he liked her, he himself wasn't sure. He had never experienced similar emotions before...
Just as he thought of this, Chu Weilan heard a scream from not far away. Yuan Le had just reached the kite when he stepped on it and fell from the tree.
Chu Weilan's expression froze, and he rushed towards Yuan Le at an extremely fast speed. Finally, he arrived before Yuan Le landed and caught him.
"Wow! Wow! I'm so scared!" Yuan Le was so scared that he buried his face in Chu Weilan's arms and strangled Chu Weilan's neck with both hands.
Chu Weilan coughed and said helplessly, "Don't tighten so much, are you going to strangle your husband to death?"
When Yuan Le heard him say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red.
The companion who was not far away was watching this scene, dumbfounded... His Highness's health was really not good. The shock of receiving the person just now must have shocked his heart again.
Such a distinguished person could have ordered the secret guards to rescue the person. At the very least, even if the person fell, he wouldn't suffer any serious injuries. Why did he have to do this?
How can this be considered as a joke? They are almost protecting their eyes.
On the other side, Yuan Le had already let go of Chu Weilan and was standing beside her properly, his eyes still a little vague.
Chu Weilan used his internal energy to suppress his somewhat disordered breath.
His health was really not good, and he practiced martial arts to strengthen his body. He was poisoned when he was born. Although he saved his life, his internal energy was unstable and he could die at any time due to some special reasons. Emperor Heng made him the crown prince because he felt guilty about him.
The moment Yuan Le fell down just now, he really felt as if his heart was clenched. It was the first time in Chu Weilan's life that his emotions fluctuated so much.
He lowered his eyes to look at the 'little palace maid' beside him, his eyes filled with emotions.
Yuan Le suddenly let out another "ah".
Chu Weilan came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"
"The kite is crushed!" He was too nervous when he fell just now. After being caught by Chu Weilan, he clung to Chu Weilan like an octopus and forgot about the kite in his hand.
Chu Weilan looked at the broken kite for a long time, then smiled with relief, "I'll buy you another one later."
His sorrow is like a broken kite.
What he said to his study partner before was also sincere. When he was with Yuan Le, he felt very relaxed. All the things that made him feel suffocated were thrown behind him.
Chu Weilan wants to protect this innocence, and wants this innocence to belong to her forever.
He wanted Yuan Le's future, so he made this promise.
