Chu Huaizhi lifted Jiang Li's soft, boneless hand and held it in his palm, transferring his internal energy to her to suppress the restless blood in her body.

As the internal force continued to flow into her body, Jiang Li's struggle became less intense, but she continued to mutter.

"No, no, don't come over here! Don't come over here!"

Not knowing what she dreamed about, Jiang Li's brows were tightly furrowed, and even with her eyes closed, she could not hide the fear on her face.

Chu Huaizhi pursed his lips and continued to transfer his internal energy into her body. However, even though he could use his internal energy to suppress the restlessness in Jiang Li's body and prevent her from having a cardiac arrest due to fear, he could not stop the nightmare in her mind.

As the night deepened, countless horrifying scenes flooded Jiang Li's mind.

The jade hand held by Chu Huaizhi kept tightening due to fear. After noticing her movements, Chu Huaizhi frowned and stroked the top of Jiang Li's head with his other hand.

"Jiang Li, don't be afraid."

This was the first time Chu Huaizhi called Jiang Li's name.

After these words were spoken, Chu Huaizhi clearly felt that Jiang Li's grip on his hand had weakened a little.

Seeing that this was effective, Chu Huaizhi continued to speak to comfort Jiang Li.

"Don't be afraid. Everything you saw was just a nightmare. It will end when the sun rises."

Chu Huaizhi looked at Jiang Li and used his unskilled words to comfort her who was haunted by a nightmare.

Jiang Li looked pale and her body was shaking with fear, but in fact, nothing happened.

[The host's trick of turning the tables is really brilliant! ]

Xiaoduo smacked his lips and gave Jiang Li a thumbs up without hesitation.

"How can you keep him here if you don't play along? And how can you know that this man is a tough guy with a soft heart?"

Jiang Li looked pale and filled with fear on the surface, but in fact she was relaxed and nothing happened at all. She was just pretending to be having nightmares.

When Jiang Li first arrived in the small world, she used the Immunity Card, and no matter what kind of poison it was, it had no effect on her.

When the palace maid sprinkled the blood poison powder on her just now, the system immediately detected its ingredients and effects. Jiang Li simply took advantage of the situation and cooperated with the person behind the scenes to put on a good show.

She deliberately let the person behind her use the blood parasite to control her mind. Her trip to Yunxiao Palace to assassinate Chu Huai was all done with her brain being controlled by someone.

Jiang Li had already woken up when Chu Huaizhi carried her back to the Yangxin Palace. Since Chu Huaizhi had already noticed the blood poison powder on her body, Jiang Li had no choice but to go through the motions and pretend to be haunted by a nightmare.

Although Jiang Li couldn't open her eyes to see Chu Huaizhi's expression at the moment, just listening to his deliberately low voice was a pleasure.

"Mother, please don't leave me!"

"Father, what do you want me to do to satisfy you?"

"Don't come over here, don't come over here! If you come over here again, I'll jump down from here!"

"Uncle, please don't leave me, okay? Don't leave me, you are the only one I have..."

Jiang Li kept screaming, vividly acting out the scene of talking in a nightmare.

At the end, she did not forget to flatter Chu Huaizhi to let him know his position in her heart.

Listening to Jiang Li's pleading voice, Chu Huaizhi pursed his lips with a complicated expression on his face.

He was only following the late emperor's order to protect the little emperor, but he never thought that in just a few days she would regard him as her support.

"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. It was just a dream."

Looking at Jiang Li struggling and crying in front of him, Chu Huaizhi's face darkened. He grabbed her other hand and transmitted his internal energy into her body, fearing that she would have an accident due to her emotional fluctuations.

Gradually, Jiang Li stopped struggling, and just as Chu Huaizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Li opened her eyes drowsily.

"Uncle?"

She looked at Chu Huaizhi with red eyes, and wet tears hung on her eyelashes.

"Why is the emperor's uncle here? What's wrong with me?"

Jiang Li frowned slightly, with confusion in her eyes.

"Your Majesty has been poisoned by a blood parasite. Everything that happened just now was just a nightmare."

Chu Huaizhi was a little surprised that Jiang Li could wake up in the middle of being infected with the blood parasite, so he briefly explained the situation to her.

"Since Your Majesty has woken up now, I think there is nothing serious. Have a good rest. The blood parasite will automatically dissipate when you wake up tomorrow."

Chu Huaizhi was about to let go of Jiang Li's hand, but Jiang Li held him tightly.

"Uncle, please don't leave. I'm scared. I saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in my dream just now. There were also many people holding swords to kill me. Fortunately, my uncle arrived in time."

"Uncle, please don't leave. I can only feel at ease when you are by my side."

Jiang Li looked at Chu Huaizhi pitifully and lied without blinking.

Under her unblinking gaze, Chu Huaizhi, who was originally planning to stand up, nodded slightly.

"Okay, I will stay here and your majesty can sleep peacefully."

Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, Jiang Li decided to push the envelope a little.

She let go of Chu Huaizhi's hand and moved her body inside, then lifted the quilt and patted the place beside her.

"Uncle, can you sleep with me tonight? Those people are ferocious and I am afraid of them."

Jiang Li shrank her neck seriously, the flickering candlelight in front of her reflected in her black pupils. She was both expecting and afraid that Chu Huaizhi would reject her.

Chu Huaizhi pursed his lips and said, "This is against the rules. Your Majesty, please go to sleep peacefully. I will not go anywhere and will stay here."

How could two grown men sleep in the same bed? Although Chu Huaizhi was not interested in women, he was not interested in men either, so he refused immediately.

The expectation in Jiang Li's eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of loss.

"I originally thought that my uncle was different from those people because he was not bound by rules, but I didn't expect that I was overthinking it in the end."

Jiang Li muttered something in a low voice, then turned around with a look of disappointment on her face, leaving Chu Huaizhi with a lonely back.

Although her voice was small just now, it did not escape the ears of Chu Huaizhi who was always listening.

Jiang Li curled up her petite body, her shoulders trembling, as if she was extremely scared.

Chu Huaizhi's fists hardened, and he clenched his hands again and again as he looked at the small ball on the couch.

It’s nothing. The environment was harsh on the battlefield before, and he often shared a tent with the soldiers. The little emperor was no different from those soldiers.

Chu Huaizhi finally softened his heart.

Successfully convinced myself.

As for why he became soft-hearted, he himself didn't know.

Maybe it’s because the little emperor now regards him as his only support.

The little emperor was infected with blood parasites, and nightmares could haunt his mind at any time. He was following the orders of the late emperor to protect the little emperor and support the Great Yan dynasty, so he naturally could not watch the little emperor in danger.

After some self-pua, Chu Huaizhi no longer had any worries in his heart.

"Uncle, please go back. I can do it on my own."

Jiang Li pretended to be strong, and her voice trembled when she spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, the quilt behind him was tucked in.
